What to get?!

Question

What are the best things to get a baby? I'm talking everything. What do you gals reccomend?

Answer

Here are some of my favorite items! My son is six months old so I don’t have recommendations beyond that point. 
The Ollie swaddle is AMAZING! It’s the only swaddle you need because it’s one size and can be used from birth all the way until you’re done swaddling, even as a transitional swaddle with one or both arms out. 
Aden and Anais burpy bibs. They can be used as a bib (snapped around the baby’s neck) or burp cloth (laid over your shoulder or chest). They are by far my favorite burp cloth and I also always snap one on my son in his carseat (outside of his seatbelts so it doesn’t interfere with snugness) to protect his carseat from spitup. He often spits up when he’s in his car seat so this has been super helpful. 
My Brest Friend nursing pillow (if you plan to breastfeed). I only used this about the first two months but it was absolutely essential during that time! I loved that it strapped around me to stay in place and support baby well. 
An activity mat with arches that hangs toys where baby can swat them. My son still loves this and has used it since he was about a month old! Any brand will be great! My mom has a different one at her house than we have and he loves both. 
Munchkin Latch bags to sanitize pump parts or bottles in the microwave. I just discovered these and they’re awesome! 
Jujube BRB backpack diaper bag. I love this bag. I organize it with lots of pouches and it is so easy to find whatever I need! It opens and lays completely flat so I can see everything at once which is especially helpful when I’m making sure it’s properly packed before leaving the house.

I use hello hello diapers and wipes. They’re cheap and affordable but very reliable and made from recycled plant material and are completely organic. I prefer these. We used pampers too and they’re just as effective as that name brand. they are sold at walmart! Kristen bell and Dax Shepard created it for people who don’t want to spend a pretty penny but are honest and good products! Pampers are just as good too! 
Baby wearing is really big in the beginning too it was like the only thing that soothed my son (still and he’s 4mo but not needed nearly as often) but your arms will get tired hahahaha!!! I use the kea wrap which is fine just a lot to put together, maybe an easily assembled wrap so baby is comfy quicker!!
Johnson Johnson bed time lotion. It has lavender which is safe for baby and helps them sleep longer! Infant massage is fun with this ☺️☺️☺️❤️
aquaphor baby is my favorite diaper time product because it leaves no residue and so far my guy has been rash free! 
a swing. It helped him nap longer and feel secure longer and I was hands free within range if he needed me or there was an emergency.
