5 Must Have Baby Items - I Wish We Had the First Time Around

When we had our son nine years after our daughter, my wife and I had to replace a lot of things that we had long since gotten rid of. One of the upsides of that was that almost ten years later- there are a lot of new items we didn’t have with our daughter or weren’t as popular then. These are my top five things that we have found that we didn’t have the first time around that I wish we would have!

Halo Sleepsack

If your little one has a hard time sleeping through the night, I highly recommend getting a Halo Sleepsack! The Halo sleep sacks have been one of the best tools we’ve used in getting our son to sleep through the nights. There are so many different fabrics for different climates and room temperatures. There’s also all sorts of types for every age and stage. Sleep sacks are one of the safer options to keeping your LO warm and cuddly all through the night!

Nuby Formula Powder Dispenser

When you’re on the go, measuring out formula can be a pain! With the Nuby Formula Powder Dispenser, making a bottle while you’re out and about just got so much easier! We use this exact one and can measure out up to three 8oz bottles. Just turn to a compartment, open up, and pour into your bottle with water.

FridaBaby Syringe Pacifier

This Syringe Pacifier by FridaBaby has been the ultimate lifesaver. Our son has to take medicine every day and using this syringe beats having to fight and struggle to get him to take it using a regular medicine syringe. If your LO has to take medicine, I 1000% recommend!

Munchkin Bath Toy Scooper

Clean-up after bath time is super easy with this Bath Toy Scooper that also doubles as a storage holder! Totally beats the flimsy mesh holder we had the first time around!

Rolling Cart Organizer

I highly recommend getting a Rolling Cart Organizer like this one that you can take with you into each room you and baby are in. I have one shelf with all my little must haves (binkys, diaper cream, lotion, etc), one with wipes and diapers, and one with back up onesies and sweats. Whatever your must haves are will always been in arms reach!

Whether you’re a first-time mom looking for some must haves, or a seasoned mom looking for to upgrade to your tools, these five items are sure to make your life easier. I know they’ve made ours easier!
