I’ve been wanting to share pictures of our daughter’s nursery for a while now and since I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my baby “must-haves” so far I thought why not kill two birds with one stone! Even though I’m only a first-time mom, I totally know which items are my favorite already.
ALSO! I added a new tab at the top of my site called BABY MUST HAVES where I’ll add ANYTHING I ever buy/love for her so be sure to check it out. Every item in there so far is something I’ve bought or read that has really helped me so far!
Before she was born, I thought wipe warmers were so pointless but she would flinch so big when I wiped her so I decided to buy one! It’s been a total gamechanger so far since she is so much calmer now during changing.
My sister Isabelle brought us the New York Times with our daughter’s birthday on it while we were in the hospital. I love having it displayed in her nursery!
These are by far my favorite onesies so far. I’m sure you’ve noticed she’s in them almost every day! Great quality and super soft. I just purchased the pink set since she’s growing out of the gray set.
Okay, this right here is by far my FAVORITE baby item to date! The BabyBum brush for diaper ointment! Someone recommended this on my Instagram a couple months ago and I am seriously obsessed with it. It’s my new favorite gift to give to my pregnant friends! I have one for the changing table and one for her diaper bag. She had an awful rash her first week and this cream cleaned up quick as well.
Swaddle central! I’m shocked at how many swaddles we go through. Some of my favorite brands are Little Unicorn, Aden + Anais, Goosebumps Shop and Captain Silly Pants. My favorite soft blanket is the Saranoni blanket. I think I might use it more than she does…
We also tried numerous sleep sacks/swaddles and this one is our favorite. Or I guess I should say, her favorite! She always scratches her face (hence the scratch on her face + the fact she’s always in mittens!) and this one keeps her tied down comfortably.
This Motorola camera is perfect for watching her while she is sleeping. We literally lay in bed and just watch her sleep peacefully for hours hahaha. It’s the best thing ever!
Before she was born I posted a Story on Instagram asking peoples opinions on the DockATot and BOY did I get peoples opinions on it… haha. Majority of people said they loved it so I decided to buy it and it’s literally the only thing she will sleep in. She has slept in it since the night we got home from the hospital and is sleeping so well! I really love how portable it is so I can take it wherever and she feels like she’s sleeping in the same spot. She also loves to sleep in THIS.
Since we live in a basement apartment still.. we are a little tight on storage space so all my clothes are in the closet in her room! I needed a good storage dresser to put all of her clothes in and this one has been perfect… and although it was a total splurge, I know I’ll use it for years and years with all of our kids to come.
The “Moses basket” on top is from the D.I. ($5!) and here is the humidifier. Since Utah is so dry, our pediatrician recommended we get a humidifier and its been a great one!
Since using this diaper pail, we have yet to smell one diaper! And it fits sooo many diapers. But be prepared, the trash bag is SO heavy when you have to take it out hahaha. Diapers are heavy when you add them all up!
Canvas bin for books is here.
I researched a lot of night lights/sound machines and the Hatch was the people favorite for sure. I love that we can adjust the light or music at any time on our phone even if we aren’t in the room! Sometimes we’ll hear her start to wake up and just turn up the sound a little bit and she dozes right back off.
And lastly, I honestly can’t say enough great things about the Owlet Smart Sock. For obvious reasons, I was worried like crazy about bringing her home from the hospital since there weren’t going to be nurses watching her practically 24/7 anymore! With the Owlet Smart Sock, I have SUCH a peace of mind because I have something helping me keep an eye on her when she sleeps.
If you haven’t heard of the Owlet Smart Sock, you need to look into it! The Smart sock tracks if your babies heart rate or oxygen fall outside of the preset zones and will notify you if so. I seriously sleep so much better when it is on her! Will went out of town last weekend and even loved checking the app to see her live readings from his phone miles and miles away. He would text me and say “She is wiggling, is she not asleep?” because the app notifies you if she’s wiggling haha!
And for bath time we love using Tubby Todd products (their lotion is amazing too) and this bathtub! And then I use this brush on her hair which she loves. Her duck towel is here.
Please let me know if you have any favorite products yourself! And feel free to ask me any questions you might have about anything.
