Let's Talk Newborns!
Having a baby is the most precious time in your life & also a very chaotic time! There are so many things to know, tons of opinions, & LOTS of amazing and not so amazing baby products. Whether this is your first or fourth child I hope this newborn guide will be helpful. I am going to share what has helped me navigate through this amazing journey we call motherhood.
Hospital Bag!
The newborn journey starts well before you get to hold your sweet babe in your arms. Prepping for the hospital was something I constantly thought about throughout my third trimester. I wanted to be as prepared as possible. My daughter was born August 21st, 2020 and the Covid-19 Pandemic only allowed for one support person and no visitors so leaving the hospital wasn’t really an option. I did not want my husband leaving me alone, although at this time he was able to come and go. I had researched many hospital bag check lists and I never found a solid list of what I needed and why. I think it is important to know what things are necessary and what aren’t so you don’t over pack or under pack! Read more for a break down of the items I took, why I packed them, & more.
Newborn Baby Products!
There are so many baby products out there and essentially you have to find out what works for your baby but it helps to hear some tips along the way. Here I will share the products we use and love, give comparisons to different products, & share MUST HAVE newborn products in my opinion.
Postpartum Care
No one can prepare you for what your body will go through after baby! Especially because everyone is so different and every birthing experience is so different. For me I delivered vaginally with minimal tearing and found the products I used to be extremely helpful!
