My Must-Have Newborn Essentials – Tried, Tested, and Loved!
When I first brought my newborn home, I was filled with equal parts excitement and anxiety, questioning if I had everything to keep my little one cozy, safe, and entertained. After a few weeks of learning the ropes, I quickly figured out the essentials that made a huge difference. I’m excited to share my personal recommendations with other new moms looking for practical yet beautiful essentials.
One of the first things I invested in was the Babyletto Gelato 4-in-1 Convertible Crib. It’s been an absolute lifesaver, transitioning from newborn to toddler stage as my little one grows. The sleek, modern design fits perfectly in our nursery, and knowing it will grow with my baby makes me feel like it was worth every penny. There’s something so special about seeing your little one sleeping soundly in such a safe, beautiful space.
And when it comes to comfort, nothing beats the Luxe Cable Knit Sherpa Baby Blanket. This blanket is incredibly soft, and warm, and has the coziest Sherpa lining that keeps my baby snug during naps. We’ve used it for everything – from stroller rides to tummy time on the floor. It’s become a must-have that I can’t imagine living without!
The Cotton Sweater Knit Baby Blanket and Lamb Thumbie Set have also become our go-to for cuddle time. Not only is the lamb thumbie unbelievably adorable, but it also gives my baby something comforting to hold onto. It’s a small detail, but having a little comfort object has been great for calming her down.
Finally, I have to rave about the LoveShackFancy Activity Gym. This play gym is not only stunning (with soft florals and thoughtful details), but it’s also so engaging. I watched my little one’s eyes light up the first time she noticed the hanging toys; now it’s a daily staple for her playtime.
As a new mom, navigating what you need can feel overwhelming. These items brought comfort, style, and joy into our nursery. They’ve become my essentials, making this early journey all the more special and memorable!
