Baby Must Haves - Sincerely Jean

Hey Sistas! Today I am sharing with you my list of baby must haves for your little one. I am excited to meet this second baby boy of ours, and making this list puts me a little more at ease knowing that these things will help ‘baby’ and our family transition a little smoother.

Owlet Baby Monitor: Okay, I am so excited to use my Owlet Baby Monitor. With my first, I had so much anxiety and stress that he would stop breathing or that something would happen to him. Even when I had the opportunity to sleep, I wouldn’t. The Owlet Baby Monitor is the first smart baby monitor of its kind that uses hospital technology—pulse oximetry—designed to alert you if your baby stops breathing. I think this will really help with me being able to relax a little more and I can’t wait to use it! Use our link here to get $10 off your Owlet Baby Monitor.
Carter White Onesies: My favorite onesies are the Carter’s white onesies. They are long and skinny and fit a baby really well. I like getting white because they match, and they are bleachable.
Swaddle Blankets: We’ll see if this babe likes to be swaddled. My first loved it and I loved getting to swaddle him. I am excited for my Ollie Swaddle because I have heard wonders about it. I love their colors and the success stories people have had from them. I also love cute snuggly swaddle blankets. My favorite are muslin blankets from aden + anais.
Stroller: Okay, so when I had my first baby, my mom was trying to talk me into getting a double stroller right off the bat. I refused saying that there is no way my babies will be close enough for me to need a double stroller. So I got the Britax travel system and I loved it, but now I am totally wishing I would have gotten a double stroller. I got rid of my Britax and bought another one, so I felt like I was losing money. But, I am so excited for my new stroller. After a lot of research and talking to other mommas out there, I decided to go with the Baby Jogger City Select with 2nd Seat, It has great reviews and I think it will be a prefect fit for our family. It also has a glider board that I think my first boy will love.
Baby Carrier: I love using baby carriers around the house and when we are out & about. I have this one and I absolutely love it! I love the heather grey color, the cost, and how cute it is.
Milkies Milk Saver: So some of my friends swear by this! While you’re nursing on one side, the Milkies Milk-Saver goes on the other side and collects all the breast milk that leaks. Genius! I am so excited to use it.
Nose Frida: This makes life so much easier when baby is sick or just has a stuffed up nose. I love the FridaBaby Nasal Aspirator. At first, I thought the idea was gross, but I am so thankful for it. It is for sure a must-have in our house.
Rock n Play: I am so excited to use my Rock n Play Newborn Auto Rock ‘n Play Sleeper. I have not used it yet, so I am hoping I love it just as much as everyone else does. I love that it is on an incline, that it vibrates, and that it doesn’t take up too much room. I am really excited for it.
Boppy: Life saver! I love my Boppy Nursing Pillow. It makes nursing and holding baby so much more comfortable.
Hats and Bows: Little hats for baby boy are a must have for me. I love little beanies on boys. I really like the Baby Gap ones.
Leggings and Socks: Babies in leggings are my weakness. They are so cute and of course you need baby socks for those tiny little feet.
Car Seat Cover: I am really excited for my carseat/nursing cover that I am going to use! It’s “The City” by Copper Pearl and I am already obsessed.
Swing: I think swings are a hit or miss for babies. My first loved his and it kept me sane!
Pacifiers: What I like to do for pacifiers is to not go crazy on buying them at first. I wait to see what kind the baby likes and then go buy them. My first baby loved these.
Diaper Bag: Some women can get away with keeping their purses and fitting everything into them, but not me! I have so much stuff, so I have to have a big diaper bag. I can’t wait to break into my new diaper bag from Fawn Design.
