newborn essentials

as a second time mom that lives a fairly low tox life, these are my newborn essentials:

  • Baby wrap: i use my moby wrap the most right now. My sister in law gave me some woven ones to try also. Baby wearing has been so helpful when you have other children, and have to get things done around the house. Also great for sick season to keep your babe close in public.
  • Haaka milk collector: a great way to have a small stash of breast milk. It collects the milk from the opposite breast as you are nursing.
  • muslin burp cloths: these absorb very well, and are so soft.
  • two way zip sleepers: a must have for nighttime diaper changes.
  • snot sucker and saline: you never know if your baby will catch a bug going around. It’s nice to have these on hand to help your baby breathe easier if congested.
  • aleavia body wash: the only soap I use on our baby. It doesn’t strip the natural micro biome, and is all natural.
  • boppy pillow: makes nursing in bed much easier on your body.
  • Ninni pacifier: the best paci for oral development.
  • non toxic dish soap and laundry detergent: we love truly free.
  • tCF diapers: we use the diapers from thrive market, but Amazon does have pura brand.
  • Low tox wipes: I know everyone absolutely hates when you try to pull a wipe out and half the pack comes out! We like Millie moon the best so far. Pura wipes come out horribly.
