Wahooooo Newborn Must Haves for 2014
1. Is my fav Stroller System which is the Orbit Baby G3. Obviously you are going to need a good sturdy easy stroller. Most of my clients want a stroller that will be used for their next children as well. This one is wonderful as you can buy the stroller boards which look like skateboards and are awesome and have all of 3 kids on one stroller frame. Or buy the Helix extension kit.
2. Marc Jacobs Eliz-A diaper bag is adorable, chic and stylish. You're going to need a big diaper bag for all the extra stuff you'll need with a newborn and this one is great. They offer it in so many colors that even dad won't mind carrying it.
3.Nuna Leaf baby swing is INCREDIBLE. Nothing compares to the simplicity of this seat. No batteries, no motor it just sways. It will sway for an hour on its own and it handles so much weight that the older kids can hop in.
4. Orbit Baby bassinet is a must have if you have the Orbit system. You're not going to want to keep your baby in swing or a car seat with all that sleeping. its really bad for a newborns' back. The bassinet is wonderful, easy to use and so convenient for those first few months. You can buy the stand separately or use the stroller frame for a stand or use the floor either way its all good.
5. Aden and Anais swaddle blankets are the popular swaddle blankets everyone is raving about. Make sure you have a pack or two of these. Baby needs to be swaddled and these are so comfy you'll want to use one.
6. NoseFrieda is probably the most useful and grossest things ever. It sucks out the snot from the baby's nose. This is a lifesaver. Bless the Norwegian for inventing this.
7. Safety 1st first aid kit includes everything from a baby hair brush to nail clippers.
8.Aden and Anais easy swaddle blanket is for the times where you just can't get that swaddle perfect or late at night and you can't nail it. We all need these.
9. Bloom bath is the softest bath tub I'd be comfortable putting my tiny newborn in. Its soft and looks adorable and is convenient It can be used for the next children as well.
10. Orbit Baby Panniers are just extra storage for your stroller. For me there is never enough storage on a stroller. whether you're going shopping or want to put your dog in the basket its very handy.
11. Avent Soothie Pacifiers are great for newborns.
12. Boon Bottle warmer is a quick way to warm up the bottle. Really easy to use and very cute.
13. Gumdrop Pacis are for trying out. They've proven to be useful for lots of families. But a lot of times you don't know which pacifiers if and will your baby prefer.
14. Comotomo bottles for the bottle fed baby.
15.Summer Infant Baby Video Monitor is great for new moms who need to make sure their tiny baby is still breathing and is sleeping well. This one gets really close up so you can see the baby's chest and make sure its moving.
16. Moby Wrap is great for the new tiny babies who love to snuggle. They secure just like in the womb
17. Itzy Ritzy Nursing Scarf which is so cute and a must have for nursing mothers.
18. The Mommy Hook is the worlds greatest invention, it makes it possible to stuff as many bags as you want onto one hook on your stroller.
19. Ergo Baby Original Carrier is in my opinion the best carrier ever. Its ergonomic for your body it works well and it wont dig into your back or shoulders like some other ones on the market. Note that Newborns need to infant insert till about 6 months.
20. Bobby Nursing Pillow. Even if you're not nursing you'll want this just because its so much easier feeding a baby propped up on you with a pillow then your sore stomach.
21. 4Moms Mamaroo Rocker is so freakin cool. Its the iPhone 6 of baby gear. It has a plug in for music. The swinging options on it are like no other: you've got car ride, kangaroo, tree top and a few others which mimic all those movements which means you wont need to drive around the block at 2am to put baby back to sleep. Put him in the Mamaroo and watch TV as he falls asleep.
That's it folks!
2015 is going to be a great year!
