I wanted to share my favorite 10 newborn baby items. As a newborn photographer and a mother myself, I have personally used these items and I feel like these products are amazing. They will hopefully get you through those early days with your newest addition. I remember how overwhelmed I became when I was shopping for my first baby registry. So many baby items. I didn't know what would work and what would. I hope this list helps you and provide some clarity.


If you have not done so already, create an Amazon Baby Registry. You can send it to all your friends and family during these socially distancing times. They can ship to your house directly. :)

Aden + Anais Essentials Classic Crib Sheet, 100% Cotton Muslin, Super Soft, Breathable, Tailored Snug Fit, Solid White


I absolutely love Aden + Anais products. They are high quality, super soft and breathable.

aden + anais Swaddle Blanket, Boutique Muslin Blankets for Girls & Boys, Baby Receiving Swaddles, Ideal Newborn & Infant Swaddling Set, 4 Pack, Forest Fantasy


These swaddle blankets are amazing. Once again, they are super soft and the designs are beautiful. With every wash, they keep getting softer and softer. They are super breathable. They come in different style and prints. I would at least get four but honestly, you can never have too many. I think I have at least 10.

BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton/Jersey, Dark Gray/Gray 


This baby bouncer is fabulous! Super soft and perfect from day one. I used this with all my kiddos. No batteries are needed for this bouncer as it is your baby who makes it rock. Your baby quickly learns how to make the bouncer rock by his or her own movements, while developing his or her balance and motor skills in a completely natural way. Younger babies can be gently calmed by carefully bouncing the chair with your hands or feet.

BABYBJORN Wooden Toy for Bouncer - Googly Eyes


My little ones loved playing with this in their BabyBJorn Bouncer. It clips into place and are self entertained for a bit. Also this stimulates child development. This product helps baby discover their physical capabilities and develop their motor skills. Win!

Ultimate Wipes Warmer with an Integrated Nightlight 


Baby Wipes Warmer. I quickly bought this item after a few nights with sleepless nights. The reason why you want to warm up the wipes before you used them is help keep baby asleep and reduce the shock factor of the "cold". My thought is use whatever product you can to help baby sleep. And this product defentialy helped me during those early mornings.

Ergobaby Carrier, Omni 360 All Carry Positions Baby Carrier, Pearl Grey


I used this so much with all my kiddos that I ended up getting a second one. I tried other carries, wraps, slings, etc but I always ended up using this one. I found this one to be the most practical and most comfortable of all wraps I used, even during the newborn stage (you will need a special insert, which you can find here--> NEWBORN INSERT )

Baby Lullaby: Relaxing Piano Lullabies and Natural Sleep Aid for Baby Sleep Music


Peaceful music for little baby. I love playing little baby lullaby music in the house. It just made everything so peaceful and relaxing.

Comotomo Baby Bottle Bundle


I breastfeed all my kiddos but there were times when I just wanted to bottle feed. I went through so many different brands and most of them were unsuccessful. However, I discovered Comotomo Bottle. My little one instantly took to it and was a perfect match. I was so happy.

Baby Sleep Bag, 4 Season Basic Merino Wool Baby Sleeping Bag or Sack, 0-6 Months, Panda


I love Woolino Sleep Sacks. They are simply the best!

Woolino's award winning 4 Season Merino Wool Baby Sleep Bag will help keep your baby at a perfect temperature all year round. That means there’s no need to worry about which weight sleep bag to use, or whether your baby will be too hot or cold while sleeping – they’ll always be just right!

It's fully machine-washable, and is excellent value - it saves you money because you won't need to buy lots of other baby sleeping bags with different TOG ratings.

HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper, Bedside Bassinet, Removable Bed, Soothing Center with Nightlight, Vibration and Sound, Luxe Plus Series, Ivory Linen


I loved, loved, loved this BassiNest Swivel Sleeper! I could put baby next me in a safe environment and swivel them close to me when they needed me. It was perfect!
