My Top 5 Must Have Items for a Newborn

When you're a new mom, you receive tons of items that sometimes don't necessarily work for you. I'm glad that my little blueberry isn't entirely picky and she didn't have a problem being comfy or sleeping anywhere, but I decided to list a few of the baby items that made a huge difference for us.

5 Baby Products that worked for me by hurrayimamommy on Polyvore

1. The Summer Infants Swaddle Me Swaddle- These  have helped me immensely. Not only do I not have to worry about swaddling my baby the right way but I don't have to worry about her getting loose from the blankets and the blankets covering her face at night. It's simple and keeps my baby calm.
2. Boppy Designer Nursing Pillow & Slip Cover Owl Forest- This was a great help when I was struggling with breastfeeding my baby, then it was still great support when giving my baby her bottle. Additionally we have been able to use it to prop her up a little bit, for tummy time and even as neck support for my husband.
3. Lansinoh mOmma feeding bottle- Since my baby didn't breastfeed, we were able to pump and feed it to her in a bottle. We struggled with finding the perfect bottle that would help her stay latched on, reduce colic and reduce any milk spilling out while she was drinking it. Funny enough, I had received one of these bottles as a gift from Target for signing up for my gift registry there. We ended it buying way more because these really worked best for us, by a long-shot.
4. Bright Starts Portable Swing- This was a gift from my mom and has really been a blessing. We had other swings but strangely enough, I felt like they went way too fast to the point where I felt like my baby was going to blast into orbit! This has 7 speed settings and is super light weight, which makes it easy to transport. The only thing I would have loved would be for it to have a reset button to re-inciate the swinging motion without turning it off and on again.
5. Taggies Soothe and Snuggle Me Sleeper- This sleeper has been a perfect place for my baby to nap during the day. Although it doesn't rock, it still is super comfortable and snug for her. It also has the availability of vibration but my baby for some reason doesn't really care for any of that. This is also super lightweight and easy to store which is great for someone (like me), who has a smaller space.

Of course there are many items that have worked for us but these are the ones that have made a huge difference and well they made these first time parents a tiny bit more comfortable when it came to bringing home a newborn.
