10 Must-Have Items for New Parents

A few weeks ago, my mother-in-law asked me what would be a great item to buy for soon-to-be parents as she would be going to a baby shower soon. That really got me thinking, if I had to do it over again, what 10 things would I absolutely need for my baby.

So I compiled all of our must-have items and here it is:

10 Must-Have Items for New Parents



Circo Fox Hooded Towel / Circo Infant 6 Pack Washcloth Set Grey/Green / Carter's Baby Boys' L/S Striped Footed Blanket Sleeper / Amazon.com: Motorola MBP33 Wireless Video Baby Monitor with Infrared... / Baby Child Safety Tested Mary Meyer Wubbanub 100% Soft And Cuddly... / Sophie the Giraffe Teething Toy / Rhino Toys Oball Rattle, Orange / Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush / aden by aden anais 4-Pack Muslin Swaddle in Life's a Hoot

Circo Fox Hooded Towel: Some baby towels are so thin that they are immediately soaked. These animal hooded towels are the perfect thickness. Plus, they come in many adorable characters.

Circo Washcloth Set: I love these washcloths! These are not bulky and get easily into the little baby skin folds. Adult washcloths are thick, so I definitely recommend getting the soft terry cloth ones! *Make sure to place one between a little boy's legs in case he springs a leak!*

Carter's Blanket Zipper Footie PJ's: This is my husband's favorite piece of clothing! I can't say enough good things about them: you don't have to worry about socks, the fleece repels drool, and they are amazing for middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Much easier than fumbling with snaps on squirmy babies!

Wireless Video Baby Monitor: Video monitors are ideal for checking in on your little one to see if their soft whimpers will turn into wails or if they are sleep cries.

WubbaNub Pacifiers: A toy and a pacifier in one, babies love that they have something soft to hold onto while sucking. They come in many different animal characters!

Sophie The Giraffe: You don't have to worry about this toy being recalled. It's been around for years and is made from rubber that is safe for your babe to chew on. It also squeaks, a sound that babies seem to love!

Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush: Baby bottles are tough to clean, especially for those with big hands. Bottle brushes are super convenient. Plus, this one has a nipple brush in the handle and the suction keeps the brush off the counter so it stays clean.

aden & anais Muslin Swaddle Blankets: Swaddle blankets may just work harder than any other baby item. Not only are they good for swaddling in the first few months, but they also serve as burp rags, nursing covers, and teething toys. They will easily become your favorite "tool".

Oball Rattle: The wholes in these balls are perfect for your baby to grab with those little fingers. This toy was one of the first that my little boy grabbed! They also rattle so

Bright Starts Snuggle & Teethe: These toys are made of soft minky fabric, they have plastic feet for teething, and their bellies make that crinkle sound that babies LOVE!

There you have it folks, the 10 best items for new parents!
