The newborn, new parent phase.
The newborn, new parent phase.
The newborn phase was so overwhelming. After having an emergency C-section and navigating the NICU for the first week of Lewis' life, I felt like everything I planned was instantly thrown out. Here are five essentials that helped us successfully navigate all of the "new-ness" with this cutie.
The last thing you want interfering with that amazing newborn baby smell is the stinky diaper pail. We love this Ubbi diaper pail because it uses standard 13-gallon kitchen garbage bags so that means we don't have to spend extra on special bags. It looks modern and minimal and the locking feature is a nose saver now that Lewis can open and close just about anything with a handle.
We went through so many burp cloths every day for the first couple months of parenthood. We always kept one within arms reach. These burp cloths are super soft and super absorbent - a combination that is harder to find than you'd think.
This is our favorite brand of diaper rash cream. It worked wonders for our family! I know that every kiddo is very different though, so the most important thing is to find a diaper rash cream that you love and always keep it on hand. Bonus: WaterWipes are the absolute best baby wipes. They have no scent, and are wet enough that they are able to clean up the toughest diaper and food-related messes with ease.
I have to be honest, I was so grossed out by the NoseFrida before becoming a mom, but it is hands down the most effective tool for keeping those itty bitty nasal passages clear. The filters work to keep the boogers far away from your mouth when you use this tool, I promise. Bonus: the OogieBear Ear and Nose cleaner is an amazing supplemental tool for getting those sticky or hard boogers out of little noses.
I cannot stress enough how amazing this electric nail file is! It prevents you from having to worry about accidentally cutting your baby's skin when trying to trim those tiny nails. This tool comes with five different file options plus a shaping file head.
