Cloth Diapers, trifold. Gerber makes them. They make excellent burp cloths, can go under and over baby's diaper area after bath or while changing (on changing pad--diaper gets soiled, not whole pad cover!) and have about a million other uses!

These are the ONLY sheets I will buy. Super soft, and they stay on really well. Pro tip- layer multiple sheets/waterproof mattress pads on top of eachother. If baby gets sick or has an accident, just remove the top sheet/mattress pad. This was a lifesaver for me when my kids had the stomach bug and needed bedding changes in the middle of the night.

(Best advice from my mom)Rubber sheet/ water proof pad- One for under the crib sheet then graduated to the toddler bed and one for the middle of your bed( cuz the cuteness ends when the baby wets YOUR bed)

We had Graco click connect baby car seat and the snap n go stroller base. Great for the early months. Then we swore by the uppababy stroller (it’s pricey, you can find them used, and we used it way more than our big Bob jogging stroller) .  For toddler car seat we love our Diono.

We had one of these Boppy Loungers and it was soooo useful when the baby isn’t very mobile yet. It is shaped in a way that kind of cradles them, and it was great to hust put down anywhere when i needed my hands free!

Here’s a list of what we found useful in the first few months!:
-Boppy pillow (good for practicing sitting up and crawling)
-play gym (fantastic for keeping them entertained until they can start learning more)
-an unnecessary amount of baby hangers!!
-storage bins for clothing as they outgrow them
-a front carrier! (I recommend either a moby, or one with fantastic back support like an ergobaby)
-footie pjs that either snap or zip up instead of down (makes late night diaper changes easier)

Hope this helps!! Congratulations again!!

Can't recommend this enough! It's a breathable crib mattress. Expensive...but gives you peace of mind. Especially if your baby is an early roller. Also, buy a ton of sheets. I judged Amy for having so many on the registry, but I was mistaken. Ha!

We had an arms reach co-sleeper that we called our “side car” for the early months. Having a safe place in your room to have the baby sleep is important. It could be a pack n play or bassinet, but they need somewhere to sleep before they move into a crib, unless you want to be getting up out of bed every time they need milk or diaper in the middle of the night.

Our kids lived in Carters brand clothes early on - honestly if you have a Buy Nothing group where you live, you’d be amazed at what people give away. Always accept early years hand me down clothes. Pass on what you don’t use, but kids grow so fast you don’t use them long.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a full travel system. We just got a car seat and stroller separate and he was too small for the stroller until around 2-3 months. Also, two bases for both of your vehicles so you don’t have to constantly redo the anchors!

We use the LBTech monitor and are ABSOLUTELY in love with it! Getting a secondary camera is best so you can have one on the crib/bassinet, and one on a swing or other area. The picture quality is fantastic and sound is great! There’s also a nighttime mode that only show the video when sound is detected! It shows you the temperature in the room and is easy to connect more than one camera to! Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Special-LBtech-Monitor-Infrared-Automatic/dp/B07KC7QQ35

(For a little later) We had a piece of bright Mexican oilcloth that started as a drop mat under the kids’ high chairs, a floor saver!

Best Overall: Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair

We like the Fisher-Price SpaceSaver High Chair as a travel chair for a bunch of reasons, but top on our list is the fact that it's a great chair to use in your own home, as well, which makes it multifunctional. Just strap the booster chair to any regular kitchen chair and voila! Your kid will not only be able to eat at the table with you, but you'll be avoiding the extra space that a regular high chair tends to take up, as well.

When it comes to traveling, simply remove the tray and seat back on this Amazon's Choice product and pack the pieces with the rest of your baby gear. As your kid grows, you can skip the seat and tray completely and just strap the base to a regular chair as a booster seat. The seat pad is also machine washable, which makes it easy to clean.

Fischer-Price recommends using this chair in the reclining position for newborns and then up to a weight limit of 50 pounds, which is higher than some of the other products you'll see on the market today.

We swear by the Halo SleepSack and have used them for both of our boys from when they were newborns all the way to when they're ready to use blankets in the beds. It gives me great piece-of-mind knowing that my baby is warm and safe in their SleepSack when I put them into their beds.

our first would only fall asleep if she was in the carrier for the first few months of her life, and it is very easy to ease the baby out and lay her down without having to undo the whole carrier. It is also very easy on YOUR back - I have a lot of back issues and this one (as the title implies) is ergonomically made for both you and your baby. ❤️
