Must-Have Newborn Baby Stuff that You Should Have

The greatest thing after marrying my husband I ever did was to have kids. It is the scary, wonderful, frustrating, magical, incredible, hard, easy, and amazing. It is worth every tear, every hardship, every moment of the mess, because when they say, “I Love you” no sound is sweeter or more meaningful just ignore them, “I hate you.” That is code for you are a great parent!.

These are my must-have must buy baby essentials items!

Get ready for your newborn baby with these must have must buy baby essentials. You can also print our checklist so you don't miss anything.

Baby Bag

Dr. Brown Bottles– also get the newborn bottle set

Baby bottle cleaner brush

Bottle sterilizer (I used the dishwasher or hand washed). If you get one make sure it is for the bottles you have.

Car seat– I loved Britax

Car Seat cover– Depending on when your baby is born to look at the materials. I used mine a lot to keep the sun and people touching out.

Umbrella stroller– I did a Quinny stroller (Quinny Zapp Xtra Folding Seat, Rebel Red) and it worked as a jogger and light stroller. If you want a true umbrella stroller to make sure it is lightweight and has a basket and a sunshade. This is the umbrella stroller I had.

jogging stroller– Everyone I know swears by their Bob. I had another brand that was more expensive so the Bob is a deal 🙂 (I got mine on craigslist and mine was a twin one because of the ages of my kids)

Playmat

Swing– You need a swing that goes side to side and back and forth.

Baby seat– I love these portable chairs like the Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rocker, Floral Confetti
