Baby Registry Guide: Birth Through 3 Months

Our sweet babies (who happen to be just 10 days apart) are growing way too fast. It seems like just yesterday, we were each fumbling through nursing, changing tiny “newborn” diapers and folding those sweet, ever-so-tiny socks. Now at four months of age, each of our little ones are weighing in around the 18 lb. mark and it seems like those tiny newborn days are far, far behind us. It’s bittersweet to pack away their newborn baby gear and clothes, but we are looking forward to so many fun stages ahead.

We both put a lot of time, effort and of course RESEARCH (our favorite hobby!) into each of our baby registries. These items helped us to each create the perfect nursery. We want to share with you some of our must-haves, great-to-haves, and take-it-or-leave its of baby essentials that we recommend during the first three months of life. As our littles grow we look forward to sharing other baby essentials for older stages and ages in the future.

Keep in mind that no two babies are alike--not even our two babies! Therefore, what Kate might love and consider a “must-have” for Hank, Maddie may consider a “take-it-or-leave it” and didn’t use it for Rory. Also, keep in mind that we claim to be “crunchy-ish”, so while we strive for non-toxic and organic products, this is not always the case.

Crib-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--DaVinci Crib. I chose this brand of crib because it is GreenGuard Gold Certified, meaning that it’s tested-for and free of over 10,000 chemicals and is low-emitting. The price point on these cribs is also great, with most of their styles ringing in under $200. Bonus: Target carries this brand online!

Maddie’s Pick: must-have--Million Dollar Baby Classic Liberty 3-in-1 Convertible Crib in White! This crib is also GreenGuard Gold Certified and can be converted into a toddler and day bed. Word of advice make sure you read reviews and crib measurements before purchasing anything! Initially we ordered a crib from Pottery Barn but once it arrived we found out it was a mini crib (aka a crib for small spaces) and we had to send it back.

*If space or budget doesn’t allow for a crib right away this is definitely something you could wait on. At three months our littles have only used their cribs so far for short naps.

Travel Crib-

Our Pick: must-have--Lotus Travel Crib by Guava. This travel-crib is wonderful because it’s super lightweight, easy to travel with, and is the only travel crib on the market that is GreenGuard Gold Certified (non-toxic, low VOCs, and no harsh flame-retardants). It’s also great because the base of it sits on the floor and there is a side zipper which is a must-have for babies (like ours) that startle when being laid down. For a baby that needs to nurse to fall asleep, momma can slip right into the side of the travel crib with baby and slip right out when baby is finished nursing. We use this in our bedrooms for our little ones to sleep in at night since they’ve outgrown their bassinets.

Bassinet-

Kate’s Pick: great-to-have--Moses Basket by Plum+Sparrow. This basket is high quality, super-adorable, and is sustainably made (hand-woven in Africa by local artists!). It’s also great that the Snuggle Me Organic fits in there well. The downside for us was that Hank grew so big, so fast that although this basket is rated for babies 3-4 months or up to 20 lbs (whatever comes first), is that he is such a long baby that he had outgrown it by about 2 months of age. We loved that this basket is portable. While it sat on a rocking stand in our room next to the bed for nighttime use, we were able to bring it into the living room for him to nap in during the day. In hindsight, I would’ve started Hank off in the Lotus Travel Crib right away for sleeping in our room to save the expense of purchasing the Moses Basket.

Maddie’s Pick: must-have--Bassinest Swivel Sleeper by Halo. Currently the only bassinet on the market that swivels 360 degrees. The swivel feature allowed me to bring the bassinet right next to our bed while Rory & I slept. I loved that it promoted co-sleeping but in a safe environment. The bassinet is made out of breathable mesh which helped me to easily see Rory. It came with a thin flat mattress and a 100% organic cotton fitted sheet. We loved that it had vibration and sound noise features because it soothed Rory’s during her adjustment to life outside the womb. Ideally, this bassinet can be used for up to six months  (unless you have a monster baby like mine than you will be packing this item up at 3 months because they will outgrow it).

Rocking Chair-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Dutailer Sleigh Glider Multiposition Recline and Ottoman Combo. I am 5’10” and my husband is 6’6”, so a glider with a high back was a must-have for us. It’s a very comfortable chair and we like that it reclines, too, which is a feature not common to gliders.

Maddie’s Pick: great-to-have--Maya Swivel Glider and Ottoman. This rocking chair can be found online at Target. A good friend of mine recommended this rocking chair to me and I’m so glad that she did. This chair is so comfortable and looks great in our nursery. I thought I would use this chair all the time, however we really only use this a few times to weeks. It’s great to have but hasn’t been a necessity for us.

Co-Sleeper-

Our great-to-have--Snuggle Me Organic. This is an infant lounger that has a space to lay your baby in and they feel like they’re being snuggled and held. It’s nice because it’s portable--you can lay in on your couch and then move it to your bed easily. It also fits inside of the Plum and Sparrow Moses basket if you opt to get one. The covers (which are available in many adorable fabrics) are easy to wash and we love that it’s made of organic materials (they are regulated by CPSIA which has VERY high standards for material safety). You can also use this for tummy time, making it versatile. Snuggle Me Organics are pricier, ringing in around $140. If your infant loves this and you’re not ready to say “goodbye” to it when they outgrow it, they do make a Snuggle Me Organic for toddlers, as well.

Car Seat-

Our must-have: UppaBaby Mesa Carseat. We were shocked when we found out that most car seats on the market contain toxic flame retardants. Luckily, we were able to find a brand that is free of flame-retardants and is made of wool, which is natural and nontoxic. We love the UppaBaby car seat for our littles! These are very easy to install. The base features two indicators for safety which gives us peace-of-mind: a tightness indicator and a level indicator, which indicates that the car seat will be in a position for optimal safety. It also goes seamlessly with the UppaBaby stroller (see below).

Stroller-

Our must-have: UppaBaby Vista Stroller. Also nontoxic, this stroller is spendy but SO worth the price. It’s extremely smooth to drive, easy to operate and is very adaptable to all ages. The bassinet is perfect for infants, and the toddler seat can be faced outward or towards parents. The car seat may also be attached to it for ease of use while running errands. This stroller also can easily transition to a double-stroller and can be configured many different ways.

Baby Monitor-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Philips Avent Video Baby Monitor. This baby monitor has ability for digital video, but I chose it because it has a sound-activated mode which cuts down on the electromagnetic emissions to baby by a TON (=less radiation for baby’s developing brain). This means that it only turns on the video monitoring when it senses noises or movements from baby. There is also a “sound-only” monitoring option which also cuts down on emission exposure. This is a purchase that can easily happen after baby transitions to his/her own room. If you’re planning on having baby sleep in your room for the first few months, then this can wait until baby is in his or her nursery!

Maddie’s Pick: great-to-have--Levana Alexa 5 Video Baby Monitor. This baby monitor comes with 2 cameras and has a 12 hour battery life. If you have more than one child or plan on having more littles this monitor grows with your family and allows you to see up to 4 different screens at the same time. This monitor also allows you to talk to your baby and has so many other cool features such as detecting room temperatures. It was really easy to set up and has a very clear image quality.

Air Purifier-

Kate’s Pick: Not yet purchased but is on my list! :) See Maddie’s review below.

Maddie’s Pick: great-to-have--Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link. If you’ve stayed at our house you know we like to keep our house very cold. We also have two dogs that would melt if we had our heat turned high. Once we brought Rory home we knew we needed a mini heater for our room to keep her warm without heating the whole house. We decided to buy the Dyson because it was an all in one system by providing supplemental heating and cooling as it cleans. This purifier uses a unique 360-degree filter that eliminates almost all allergens, pollutants, and odors (however not dog hair). If you decided to get an air purifier or small heater I would also recommend keeping a cool mist humidifier like this one as well.

Sound Machine-

Our pick: Maddie’s great-to-have, Kate’s must-have--Hatch Baby Rest. The hatch is a night light, sound machine, and has a Time-to-Rise indicator all built into one device. This means that you can create custom programs to have the light change colors when your toddler can be “out of bed”. What’s great is that you can control this device from your phone and in addition to playing white noise, you can choose other sounds such as a dryer, rain, wind, birds, waterfalls, waves and lullabies. We used the light a lot for night time feedings. While this was great to have, you could easily use your phone’s flashlight feature and play white noise from there too.

Swaddles-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--SwaddleMe Swaddles. SWADDLES ARE LIFESAVERS! I’ve tried a few nights without the swaddle for Hank and it did not go well. The startle reflex is very strong for little babes and the swaddles help this a ton. I found these swaddles at Target and have had great experience with them. They carry them in two sizes: small/medium and large. The downside to these is the velcro that can be a bit loud and startling when unfastening during a nighttime diaper change. Hank does best with his arms swaddled down, so the other swaddles that I tried that involve swaddling with arms up did not work as well (but this is a totally personal preference and each baby is different). My recommendation is to not buy too many of one kind and to really try them out and see what your baby prefers.

Maddie’s Pick: must-have--Sleepsack Halo Swaddles are an absolute must. I found this brand at Target and fell in love, Kates pick are also a great option (honestly any brand of of swaddle sacks is a must) These sacks kept Rory from startling herself awake. The Sleepsacks are so much quicker than swaddling a baby with a blanket, and I felt like the Sleepsacks allowed me to wrap Rory better.  

Baby Carrier-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--LILLEbaby Six-position 360 Ergonomic Baby & Child Carrier. This is a MUST-HAVE if you have a baby like mine that needs to be snuggled during naptime. This carrier is the only way I was able to get things done during those times. I am able to walk the dogs, do laundry, make the bed, cook supper, etc all while wearing Hank. This carrier was recommended by our chiropractor and so far I love it. As the name suggests, it can hold baby in 6 different positions: on your front, hip, or back and in fetal position, in or out position. The lumbar support has been friendly to my back and the mesh panel on it makes it easy to control the temperature for Hank and I. My husband has the Ergobaby 360 to carry Hank with (we’re all about baby-wearing in this house!) and loves it. The fabric seems softer than the LILLEbaby, which I prefer; however the LILLEbaby can be used from birth and the Ergobaby needs an additional insert for newborns. Read Maddie’s review below for additional Ergobaby information. You really can’t go wrong with either carrier and both are similarly priced.

Maddie’s Pick: must-have--Ergobaby 360. I love my Ergobaby because it’s so comfortable when carrying Rory! It provides exceptional lower back support and has extra padded shoulder straps as well. This carrier will grow with you baby from 0-48 months, meaning you will get a lot of use out of it! There is a lot of debate on whether carriers are hip healthy for babies, but what's great about the Ergobaby is that it’s been acknowledged as hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

Our great-to-have--Solly Baby Wrap. This wrap is a single, long piece of fabric that you wrap and place baby inside. We love how chic it is and how close it brings baby to you. The fabrics and patterns are ADORABLE! This wrap is rated for birth up to 25 lbs. We both used this wrap quite often for our newborns, but found that when they got bigger, it was more comfortable for our backs to carry them in one of the infant carriers listed above. In an ideal situation, we would use the Solly Baby Wrap for the first two months of life when baby is much smaller and lighter, and then transition to either the Ergobaby or Lillebaby carrier. If your budget only allows one carrier, we suggest using one that you can get a longer use out of.

Diapers-

Our Pick: must-have--Pampers Pure. You can check out our recent blog post for an in-depth review on diapers. Spoiler alert: after some trial-and-error, we have come to the conclusion that Pampers Pure has it all when it comes to what we look for in a diaper: 1) great ingredients and 2) great fit and protection against leaks. Although it is spendier than some generic alternatives, the non-toxic, safe ingredients that these diapers are made of (no bleach, chlorine, or parabens). The only thing that could make these diapers better is if they were biodegradable!  

Diaper Rash Cream-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Burt’s Bees Diaper Rash Cream. This has worked well for the few times that Hank has had diaper rash. It scores “1” on the EWG database, which sits well with me. It goes on thick and a little goes a long way. I have a couple of these and keep one on the changing table and another in the diaper bag.

Maddie’s Pick: must-have--Aquaphor Baby. This ointment was recommended to me by Rory’s pediatrician and it can be used for diaper rash or dry skin. It has a good score according to the EWG and has worked really well when Rory starts to get a red bottom.

Baby Bathtub-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Primo Eurobath. I chose this tub for my baby registry because it’s nontoxic (free of phthalates, lead, BPA) and is made in the USA. It can be used from 0-24 months and has two different positions for baby to easily be in without slipping and sliding around (reclined is recommended for 0-6 months and sitting is recommended for 6 months-2 years). Baths are Hank’s favorite activity, so I know that he doesn’t mind my choice of bath at all!

Maddie’s Pick: great to have--Boon Naked Collapsible Baby Bathtub. I chose this tub because it grows with your baby from newborns through toddlers. This tub is collapsible and has a hook which makes storing it very easy. In retrospect, when rory was very little I didn’t feel like the tub gave her enough support. I think Kate’s pick would be what I would choose if I had to go back and register again.

Baby Soap and Lotion-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Baby Mantra 3-in-1 Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Wash. I let EWG do the research for me on this choice and I’m glad I did. I love the smell of this product (it has a very subtle lavender scent). It is EWG-verified which means that it meets the strictest standards of health and has no questionable ingredients. I purchase this on Amazon and although it seems spendy ringing it at $14 for a 12-oz bottle, a little goes a looong way.

Maddie’s Pick: I am currently still on the hunt for my must have baby soap and lotion. I have been using Baby Aquaphor which has a good rating according to the EWG but i’m not in love with it...therefore once i use up my current products I will be trying Kate's recommendation.

Bath Towels and Washcloths-

Kate’s Pick: must have--Burt’s Bee’s Organic Towels and Washcloths. It’s pretty hard to go wrong when it comes to towels and washcloths! We have 6 washcloths and 2 towels for Hank. We use two washcloths for every bath and use them between baths to clean him up as needed, so it’s nice to have some extras. We started using full-sized towels to dry him off with, as we feel like they are fluffier and larger, so it’s easier to wrap him up in them.

Maddie’s Pick: must have--Pupiki Organic Bamboo Baby Washcloths/Hooded Towel. These washcloths and towels were given as a gift to Rory and I am so glad that they were because we love them. The washcloths help make bath time run smoothly and are super soft. I love that they are both hypoallergenic and don’t require any special washing instructions. The hooded bath towel is great for when Rory gets out of the bath because we can quickly dry her off while keeping her warm at the same time.

Breast Pump-

Our must-have--Spectra. Although we have nothing to compare it to when it comes to electric breast pumps, before you register for a pump check to see if your insurance will cover this for you (we both got our Spectra S2 pumps for free). The Spectra S2 is a hospital strength pump but is very gentle. It is extremely quiet and lightweight. All pump parts are BPA free and the best feature of this pump is the fact that it uses a closed system. This means that there is a barrier between the pump tubing and the milk collection system (which not only makes cleaning easier but also reduces bacteria build up).

Our great-to-have--Lansinoh manual pump. This pump is great to have if you’re on the go or you’re somewhere that is inconvenient to set up the electric breast-pump. This pump has settings to mimic breastfeeding by giving the option to have shorter, lighter pumps and the ability to switch to longer, deeper pumps.

Our great-to-have--Haakaa. This is a silicone breast pump that you suction on your opposite breast while baby is nursing. It draws your milk out using constant suction. Although you won’t get as much milk using this as you do with a traditional pump, it is nice to use to get extra milk to save up for supply. The Haakaa is made of 100% food-grade silicone--no plastic is a win in our book! We recommend watching the videos on their website to learn how to properly use the pump.

Pumping Bra-

Our Pick: great-to-have--Lansinoh Pumping Bra. We purchased this at Target and use it when we pump to keep my hands free. It’s easy to use and wash. Kate doesn’t have to pump very often as she stays at home with Hank, but when she does pump it’s really convenient to have. Maddie pumps three days a week when she is at work and loves using this bra so she can have her hands free to eat snacks or use her phone to check on Rory. If you do opt for a pumping bra, make sure it is compatible with your pump.

Nursing Cover-

Kate’s Pick: great-to-have--Copper Pearl Multi-Use Cover. I LOVE Copper Pearl products. The fabrics are oh-so-cute and reasonably priced. I have a Copper Pearl multi-use cover that I keep in Hank’s diaper bag and use it almost every time we go out to cover him while he nurses. This doubles as a carseat cover, too. Although it doesn’t stand up to our Minnesota winters, it will be great to use in the spring or on a rainy day in summer. It can also be worn as an infinity scarf or used as a shopping cart cover or high chair cover. The fabric is stretchy and durable (96% rayon and 4% spandex). I do wish they made these in an organic cotton.

Maddie’s Pick: take-it-or-leave-it-Covered Goods Multi-Use Nursing Cover. Don’t get me wrong the fabric on this cover was super soft and I loved that it could be used for other things besides breastfeeding. However I found myself always using a blanket to cover up during nursing instead, Rory was able to breath better because of how I could position the blanket. Personally, I hardly used my cover and if I had to register again I wouldn’t put this on my list.

Nursing Pads-

Our take-it-or-leave-it--Bamboobies Nursing Pads. These velour-bamboo nursing pads are earth-friendly because they are reusable. They come in two different absorbency sizes:  “regular” or “overnight”. We each had quite different experiences with these. Maddie found these to be itchy and uncomfortable, while Kate found them to be comfortable and soft but didn’t really need to use them as she didn’t experience a problem with leaking once her milk supply leveled out.

Nipple Cream-

Our take-it-or-leave-it--We both purchased this and neither of us have had to use it. Our babies both have excellent latches and have never left us feeling sore. Kate went WAY overboard and purchased THREE of these as she thought it was going to be a must-have. Whoops! Colostrum works really well in the beginning and your nipples adjust to breastfeeding: express a few drops right after baby is finished nursing, apply to nippes as you would a nipple cream and allow to air dry. If you would like to have some on hand just in case, we recommend something organic and with minimal ingredients (after all--that goes in baby’s mouth!) Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter is a great option. It can also be used as a dry skin salve if you find you have some on hand that you don’t need, like Kate did!

Bottles-

Our Pick: must-have--ComoTomo. This bottle was designed to mimic breastfeeding and it makes it SO easy for our babies to go back and forth between the bottle and breast. The dual air vents help prevent air leaking which can lead to colic and they are wide so cleaning them it much easier than a traditional bottle. The bottle is made of silicone, which is a huge bonus in our book because plastic, even “BPA-free” plastic can contain a ton of harsh chemicals.

Our Pick for pumping: must-have--Dr. Brown's Glass Bottles. These bottles are great for when you are pumping because you are avoiding any chemicals that might leak out from your warm breast milk or from heat exposure in your dishwasher. We both use the 9 Ounce bottles as they allow you to collect more breastmilk. Depending on what breast pump you buy keep in mind you most likely will have to buy an attachment piece so these bottles fit with your pump parts. This bottle feels nothing like a breast which is why we only recommend these bottles for pumping.

Bottle Warmer-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Beaba Bottle Warmer. This bottle warmer uses steam to quickly heat bottles, which is a must-have if your baby is hungry (Hank doesn’t understand patience just yet). Since I breastfeed him, I have not used this really but I was told by others that have taken care of him that it’s easy to use. This also nicely fits the wide ComoTomo bottles.

Maddie’s Pick: I don’t use a bottle warmer, instead I head up a pyrex in the microwave! If you are considering registering for a bottle warmer read Kate’s review =)

Baby Swing-

Our Pick: must-have for Maddie, great-to-have for Kate--Graco DreamGlider Swing and Sleeper. This is a gliding swing seat that doubles as a sleeper. It has 5 different speeds and has the option to vibrate to soothe baby. As if it doesn’t do enough, it plays music or sounds and has the option to sit as a seat or recline back into a sleeper--WOW! This is a must-have for Maddie as Rory loved it and enjoyed taking naps in it during the day. Kate made the mistake of waiting until Hank was 8 weeks old to purchase this and think that he would’ve enjoyed it more if it would’ve been introduced to him at a younger age. This definitely will be a “must-have” for future children of theirs.

Activity Mat/Play Gym-

Our Pick: must-have--Lovevery’s Play Gym. This product has it all! Both Rory and Hank spend a lot of time on their playmats daily. It’s great to have their own space to kick on, have tummy time on and eventually, roll around on. This play gym is developed by experts in baby development, and has exactly what babies need at each stage, from birth to one year. The play gym includes a play mat, a wooden arch with three removable toys for batting, a canopy to be used in older babies for fort-making, flashcards to be used at different stages of development, and a flip-card book of activities to do with your baby using the Play Gym at each age and stage of development. We have both learned so much about what babies need early on to work on brain development and enjoy the holistic approach that is simple yet relevant. This product is also made from organic materials, sustainably-sourced wood (with a non-toxic finish), and is of-course free of lead, phthalates, and flame retardants.

Bouncer-

Kate’s Pick: must-have--Baby Bjorn. This bouncer is “back-to-the-basics” and doesn’t vibrate or rock; it simply bounces when baby shifts his or her body weight. It’s made from 100% cotton and has been tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I for baby products, which means it’s free of hazardous chemicals and allergens. The cotton cover can easily be removed for washing. There are toy-bar accessories available online as well (the downside is that they have to be purchased separately, adding another expense). This bouncer sits in 4 different positions and can be used from birth to age 2 which makes it super versatile! Among the non-toxic bouncers on the market, this one rings in as the least expensive (about $200, depending on where you buy). Hank uses this bouncer daily and is definitely one of his favorite things.

Maddie’s Pick: I never registered or purchased a bouncer! See Kate’s pick for details if you are considering one.

Diaper Bag-

Kate’s Pick: must-have: Haffmall Diaper Bag Backpack. I was told that diaper bags that are a MUST and I’m glad that we opted for one. This one has plenty of different storage compartments and the bottle pockets are large enough for the ComoTomo bottles (which are wider than your average bottle). The quality of this bag is nice and it runs about $35. You could easily spend a little more and probably get a little higher quality bag but it works for us!

Maddie’s Pick: must-have: Fawn Design Original. This diaper bag doubles as a travel bag, school bag, and work bag. It fits everything I need for Rory and it comes with tons of zippers and pockets to keep her things organized. This bag can be worn as a backpack or messenger bag depending on what you are looking for. It comes in multiple different colors, but I opted for black!

Nursing Pillow-

Our Pick: must-have: My Breast Friend and must-have: Boppy. We told ourselves when we were pregnant that we both wanted to be pretty minimalistic with my baby gear...and then went ahead and registered for not one but two nursing pillows. Oops! We read so many reviews online and these products both seemed so great for different reasons that we just couldn’t pick one and we glad that we got both. My Breast Friend is great for the early newborn stages because it straps around the waist and holds baby up to a comfortable nursing height really well. Kate brought this to the hospital with her and used it right after Hank was born. She felt it really helped. With a Boppy, we both felt like we needed an additional pillow underneath it to hold it up to get our babies into a comfortable nursing position. The Boppy is the best for visitors to hold baby (after all, arms that aren’t used to baby-holding get tired quickly!) and we use it for Hank and Rory during Tummy Time. As they gets older, we can use the Boppy for support as they learn how to sit. Both have removable and washable covers.

Vitamin D Drops-

Our Pick: must-have. Vitamin D is not naturally found in breastmilk and therefore was recommended by our pediatricians to supplement. We like the “Ddrops” brand as the only other ingredient besides Vitamin D is fractionated coconut oil or “Mommy’s Bliss Vitamin D Organic Drops”, which contains organic Sunflower oil and Vitamin E in addition to Vitamin D. Reading the label is important, as the popular Enfamil “D-Vi-Sol” contains artificial flavors, caramel coloring, and other preservatives. As always, talk with your child's care provider before starting any supplementation.

Humidifier-

Our Pick: must-have: Crane Drop Cool Mist Humidifier. There are so many different kinds and brands of humidifiers and when it comes down to it, they have a similar end-result. We like this one because it has three settings: low, medium and high. It’s easy to empty out and clean (vinegar and water solution once/weekly). It also doesn’t take up a bunch of room which is nice, too. One tip we have is to avoid putting any additives or essential oils to the water. As tempting as it may be, essential oils are not indicated for use in young babies.

Burp Cloths, Onesies, Socks- STOCK UP ON THESE! Hank had some tummy troubles early on and went through many onsies and burp cloths per day. Buy organic when you can. Plan for at least 10 onsies of each size (newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month, and then go from there). Copper Pearl has a ton of cute patterns for burp cloths, and Green Sprouts has some nice muslin, traditional white ones.

Bottle brushes, a bottle drying rack, baby nail clippers, and a thermometer are all also great to have on hand as well.

As always, we would love to hear what baby gear you love for your little! We are also available to assist in the search for what you’re looking for and can help dig into product materials or manufacturing information.
