Mini Must Haves: Newborn to 3 Months

With so many of my dear friends & family becoming mommas, 
I thought I would start sharing some of my favorite baby items I like to call "Mini Must Haves"!

Some of these are absolute musts.
Some of these are nice-to-haves.
And some of these are just because anything tiny is just plain adorable.

Here are my favorites for newborn to three months!



1. Aden & Anais Swaddle Blankets - These blankets are a dream! They are thin enough for me to feel like they are safe for baby and they are breathable even on the warmest nights. Not to mention they are soooo snuggly soft! My E still uses one of these as her blankie!

2. Trumpette Socks - How could you not want your newborn baby to wear bows on their toes?! These socks were E's signature look as a newborn. But there is more to these than meets the eye... Not only are they cute, but they actually STAY. ON. Yes, they stay on even the tiniest little feet. That is worth the extra money to me!

3. Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack - My hubby bought me one of these for my first Mother's Day when I was pregnant with E and I cannot say enough good things about it. I love how it can be a backpack, clip onto your stroller, or can be worth as a traditional crossbody. My favorite feature is the diaper changing pad that folds right out from the front. This has saved us from laying E on MANY nasty surfaces! It is detachable and can be washed easily too! This is the only diaper bag I will ever use!

4. Fisher Price Rock N Play Sleeper - Ok now the other things I have discussed are cute and fun and all this, but ya'll... this is the main event. E slept through the night basically since birth and I owe it all to the glorified Rock N Play sleeper. Her first few nights home we tried the bassinet & the crib, but she just did not like all the open space. On her third night, we purchased this out of desperation for something to help and she immediately slept a long stretch. While I can't guarantee sleep, I can guarantee that your little one will feel comfy and cozy in this sleeper! I love how it is slightly elevated too, which I think helped E's little tummy a lot. Can't say enough about how much all you new mommas need this!

5. Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Milk Feeding Bib - These were the only bibs I could use with E where milk wouldn't pool around the neck of her onesie! They have a thick collar around the top of the bib which prevents milk from getting in those little neck rolls. They washed up so easily and I love that they are gender neutral (which is hard to find!) These saved us from many outfit changes and are also very soft on baby's sensitive skin.


I hope you all enjoyed this post! 
I plan to share not only mini must haves, 
but momma must haves as well!

Enjoy your Wednesday friends! Halfway to the weekend!
