Summer Infant Mommies Melodies Gund Bear : Target

This bear is great, it plays womb/heartbeat noises for newborns, lullabies and nature sounds for bigger babies. My daughter was always soothed by the heartbeat sound when she was first born, now that she's almost 3 months she loves the lullaby music while she's in her swing.

While socks are an obvious item, these little cuties from Old Navy actually stay on. Even when my baby was still a tiny 7-pound newborn these sock did not slip off those itsy bitsy feet, they actually stretched up to her knees and kept her legs warm too!

Mr. Happy or Miss Giggles helps heal those little one's bumps and bruises in style. A gel pack that keeps in the freezer. Choose from Mr. Happy or Little Miss Giggles.
I run this cute little ice pack under hot water until it warms up (careful not to get it too hot) & use it along with gas drops to relieve a gassy little tummy. It has certainly been a lifesaver on many a late night.

Saline nasal drops & lil tummies gas relief drops

Saline nasal drops make it so much easier to suction out those nasty boogers that clog baby's nose. Even if your baby does not have a cold their noses still can get plugged up with boogers. You just put one or two drops of this stuff in each nostril & then suction.
Gas relief drops- often times baby can get gas either from bottle feeding or from something you ate in your breastmilk, sometimes any little thing can make baby gassy. I use these gas relief drops & a warm water bottle to soothe my little tooter.

This may be to obvious to make the list but every new parent needs a rear-facing infant car seat. Most states have laws that will not allow the hospital to discharge you without one of these. Babies must be in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 20 lbs & 1 year old.

The First Years American Red Cross Deluxe Nail Clippers with Magnifier

Baby nail clippers- most babies come out with their nails pretty long already from being surrounded by amniotic fluid for so long & many times the hospital won't cut their nails for you. If you don't do it fairly quickly they'll start scratching their little faces & then it just breaks your heart. This pair comes with magnifying glass attached so you can actually see those tiny little fingertips (believe me, it can still be hard!).

This contained several of my favorite products and I still use them today. My baby had super sensitive skin and this was the only stuff that didn't irritate. I even tried Johnson's and Johnson's with no luck. Mine also came with a brush and comb.

These are a must have for babies! The mittens cover their nails so they don't scratch themselves, and the side snaps make it easier to put on.
