Our Baby Must-Haves List
When I was pregnant with Adalyn, I did tons and tons of research on different baby products. I tried to find ones that were highly rated, a decent price and something that would be useful to our family. A lot of people ask me which baby products I recommend so I wanted to share them with you in case any of you are moms-to-be. This post took me forever to write (hours and hours) but I think it is worth it to share!
Here are our baby must have items:
Here are our baby must have items:
Buy now
-Wubbanub Pacifiers- a pacifier/stuffed animal combo. Adalyn loves these and we do not leave the room without one, ever! They tuck into the swaddle nicely at night too. We have 3 of them. They are the only pacifier that she likes.
Buy now
-Fisher Price Automatic Rock ‘N Play Sleeper- A great product that rocks on its own without you having to rock it, baby can sleep here for a few months too if you don’t want to put them right in the crib. We didn't get this till Adalyn was 1 1/2 months old but now use it daily. She takes almost all of her naps in here. When we can't get her to nap, the Rock 'N Play often can!
Buy now
-Medela In-Style Pump, Bottles, and Accessories- We breastfeed and since I am back to work, I pump. I love the In-Style pump from Medela as well as the bottles that come with it. These are the only bottles we have given Adalyn.

-Angelcare Video Monitor- We use this at night and love it! We can take a peek at Adalyn and not disturb her by going in her room.
Buy now
-Graco FastAction Jogger Travel System- I love my stroller/car seat combo! The click connect feature is amazing because you can put the seat in your stroller or car with one simple click.
Buy now
-Lansinoh nursing pads, lanolin and milk storage bags- I freeze milk in these for Adalyn. In the beginning of breastfeeding, I love these nursing pads and lanolin. FYI resuable nursing pads did not work well for me.
Buy now- (Lanolin, milk storage bags, nursing pads)

-Fisher Price Bouncer- Adalyn sits in this while we eat for almost every meal. She likes the music and vibrating feature on it.

-Favorite bra for nursing- Handful bras- This is not actually a nursing bra but I prefer it to any of the nursing bras I have. Washes well and holds up to lots of use.
Buy now
Items we use a lot of but have no brand preferences:
-Lots of burp cloths- for spit up or any other messes
-Diapers and wipes- we use a variety of brands
-Nail clippers- I can't believe how quick baby's nails grow
-Infant tub- I got one of these from a garage sale and we used it in the beginning but now, I just take Adalyn in the bath with me.
-Pack N Play- We bought a simple, inexpensive one from Evenflo and are very happy with it.
Buy now
-Baby swing- I bought one for $10 off of a Mom's group. I don't think you need a super fancy one, especially since many babies don't like theirs.
-Rocking chair

-Rocking chair
-Luna Lullaby Blanket- This blanket is so soft and looks great too.
-Dria nursing cover and Balboa Baby nursing cover- Both awesome for covering up in public or if you have guests over.
-Whisper diaper pail- We put Adalyn's diapers in this. I hear that a regular trash can works as well.
-Sweetness in Smyrna knit hats- We have gotten SO MUCH use out of these adorable hats!
-Robeez baby shoes- Aww, I love these shoes! They stay on Adalyn's feet all day which are the only pair that do that.
-Zutano baby pajamas- These little jammies were one of my favorite outfits Adalyn wore when she was a newborn.
-Electrik Kidz Mermaid Outfit- Such great quality and so cute!
What We Didn't Use:
-Wipe warmer- Didn't see the point
-Feeding pillows- We had a couple of these but I didn't really end up using them. I didn't see the need. I felt fine holding Adalyn myself.
-Bumpers- not recommended any longer
Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. These are truly my favorite products for baby and what I recommend to people.
