Baby Links!
Here are some links to my very favorite things I use DAILY with my baby. If you scroll down, you'll see my complete list of necessities for a new mama, including hospital and postpartum must-haves.
BABY AND MAMA NECESSITIES:
I am by no means a professional but I am sharing these things because for me they either were or still are CRUCIAL parts of my daily routine as a new Mom. A few weeks ago I had to stop breastfeeding due to many, many issues (that you're welcome to ask me about if you're curious) and so some of these things I no longer use- but when I did they were very helpful.
First thing's first. GAS DROPS. My baby struggles with gas pains, especially at the beginning. These gas drops have helped so much!
Secondly, I have noticed SUCH a difference since starting to give him these probiotic drops. Our pediatrician introduced this to us and I am so so grateful:

Baby shampoo/body wash:
Baby washcloths: (you can never have too many of these, especially for diaper changes for BOYS it’s just good to have close by if needed!)
Portable baby changing pad: (this just hangs out in our living room/diaper bag so we don't always have to go upstairs!)
My Brest Friend nursing pillow: (use a blanket over top so you don’t have to wash the pillow all the time) When I was nursing this was really helpful!
