Having a baby or pregnant and wondering what items you should get? I have rounded up a list of items (not huge) I feel are needed. And no, I am not including diapers and clothing because in all reality, we know the basic necessities needed LOL. I am listing items I either love or feel is needed when it comes to products we need for baby’s first day home.
Pretty Pokets Diaper Bag
Oh Em Geeeee! Okay, this diaper bag from Pretty Pokets is a definite must have. Firstly, it can be used as a backpack or a shoulder bag which makes traveling easier because I would use it as a backpack as I am sure I would need to carry the baby. So this makes it much more comfortable. Another thing, not only does it come with a changing mat, but also a mini wallet for moms who don’t want to carry an extra purse around as well as a carrier for a bottle!
This diaper bag has a bottom zipper – this way, you put the diapers on the bottom of the bag and when you need one, just use the bottom zipper to pull one out instead of digging through the bag. Plus, the interior has tons of pocket space and will basically fit everything you need when going out with the little one. PLUS, look how stylish it is! Just because you’re a mom and need a bag to carry all your baby’s items does not mean you can’t carry it in style!

Humble Bee Mini Charm Stroller Organizer
The Humble Bee has an amazing stroller organizer – the Mini Charm Stroller Organizer. Even so it is small and compact, it sure does pack a ton! This is attached on the handle bars of any stroller and is in arms reach whenever mommy needs to grab for something. And a big plus, has 2 built in bottle holders!
Not only that, but this stroller organizer can even be used as a purse since it has detachable shoulder straps that can be added on – did someone say score?! It also is water repellent on the exterior and is machine washable. So no worries if it gets dirty! It has reflective accents for nighttime visibility if you’re a night owl on the go. This is a must check out for those needing a great compact bag to hold necessities when out and about with the baby.

The Car Seat Key
The Car Seat Key is literally the best invention out there! I know with my 2 girls, I would hate having to unbuckle them from their car seat because lets be real, it was almost impossible to unbuckle them without breaking a nail! Sometimes, it even was so hard I would get frustrated and being a mom and frustrated just does not go together!
This smart invention is used in order to help unbuckle children from those tight car seat buckles. You simply just slide this over the red button of the buckle and with just slight pressure, press it down and voila, the harness is released! It also comes in other colors, but love this tropical print I have as it is so stylish! This is a definite must have, because why get flustered when trying to unbuckle your baby/child and just ruining your day?

Omie View Bassinet Mirror
How smart?! The Omie View Bassinet Mirror is one I wished I had when my girls were younger. Do you ever just randomly wake in the middle of the night and get up to peek over your sleeping baby that is literally right next to you? Well with this remote controlled mirror, you do not need to get up. Just peak up and the mirror will show your baby so you can be assured they are okay. And if the mirror isn’t on the right angle, just use to remote to move it a bit until you see the little one.
This is a great gadget to help mothers have that peace of mind that their baby is okay, especially since it was created in order to help prevent SIDS. It even has a night light so if it is too dark, you can see the baby. With it being universal, it will fit on any pack and play or bassinet with no issues. This mirror is seriously the best idea so that you are not constantly getting up and out of bed to check on the babe who may be in the same room as you.

Nurse-Sling
I totally wish I had a Nurse Sling Nursing Pillow when my first two kids were babies. Especially when they were newborns because I had to hold them up higher because they were so tiny and my arm would start cramping from holding them up. The Nurse Sling allows mommy to relax and rest her wrist while nursing her baby as well as comfortable for the baby as it has a cushion! And even better, it has a zipper pocket for mommy to store some necessities she may need when leaving the house! The Nurse Sling is definitely an accessory you want if you will be breastfeeding your baby.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Muslin Blankets! These ones from Wildflower Prairie Co. are so pretty and soft! I love the idea that this brand is a small family owned business which makes it more personal.

Delta Children – Montgomery Mini Crib
Delta Children has a TON of furniture for nurseries, but sometimes like me, one doesn’t have the luxury of an extra room for that. Luckily, they are starting to carry a mini crib collection. This will fit very nicely in my master bedroom.
Not to mention, I love having the baby with me for at least the first year. It’s the anxiety of making sure the baby is okay, you feel me? But this mini crib is gorgeous. I love the faded wood look. Adding some nice bedding and pillows, this will definitely be one chic crib!
Delta Kids will have this available on their site September 2019
