Bringing a new bundle of joy into the world can be the most warming and rewarding feeling ever! But only if you are truly prepared for it and have everything that you and your baby need. But what exactly does a new baby need? Here I put together a list of 10 things that I used as a new mom and some things that I didn't have but wish IBringing did (:
Hand Free Bottle

From the title alone I think you can get a pretty good idea as to what this product is. And believe me when I tell you it is a life savor for many new moms. Just fill the bottle with milk, pop in the pacifier and allow your baby to eat completely hand free! It saves so much time and energy and allows us parents to handle task and complete chores all while feeding our little ones. Not to mention they are very cost friendly ranging from $10-$20 for a pack of 2/3
2. Baby Monitor

Here's a favorite: Baby monitors. We all either have one or have heard of them and they are needed for the most obvious reasons. As new moms we all know how important it is to be able to watch our baby from wherever we may be. They can be as cheap as $25 or as expensive as $400.
3. Baby Swinger

These especially came in handy for me as it allowed me to be able to juggle work, school, and caring for my small child. They come in both manual and automatic swinging mode while some even play lullabies. Often times we find it difficult to be able to lay down our babies without them sounding off and that is exactly where swingers come in handy. They range from around $50 for cheaper models and go up to more than $400 for most expensive ones. And don't forget to check with local donations spots as they usually keep some available along with car seats.
4. Snuggle Nest

Snuggle nest are great for preventing SIDS and being near your baby at night making feedings and diaper changes much easier and quicker which leads to more sleep for you and your baby. It also makes many new moms feel comfortable knowing that their infant is near by and within arm reach and eye view.
5. Baby Carrier

Baby carriers have given many moms the ability to move through life and handle chores all while having their baby safe and attached to their chest. There are many different models and ways to attach your infant depending on the age of your baby and the stage he or she is in ex.) sleep or awake. They also make excellent ways of breastfeeding hands free when the time comes as well!
6. Breast Pump

Breast Pumps come in both manual and automatic. Though manuals can be a lot cheaper many moms find that automatic get the job done more swiftly and allows them the ability to be hand free while pumping for their child. It's also great for the moments your little ones spends with their grand/god parents or their father and allows them the ability to feed your infant while you're away. Often times many moms can get a breast pump for free from their local WIC office.
7. Nipple Cream

Nipple Cream makes for an excellent pain reliever for new nursing moms. Many hospitals send moms home with a small tube shortly after giving birth before leaving the hospital. Though the name might seem a little weird to many, it is indeed a life saver.

8. Baby Pram

Baby prams are certainly more popular overseas than they are here in the States but that doesn't mean many new moms couldn't use them. They are spacious and very beautiful. And babies seem to enjoy them much more than traditional strollers as well. They always come in handy when taking a walk with your little one as they can be cozy and there is plenty room for you to keep you and your baby's belongings.

9. Grow Along Car Seat

The all in one convertible car seat is designed to grow along with your baby from the time you bring them home from the hospital til their first day of preschool. Many parents have stated that it saved them both time and money when it comes to upgrading their child's car seat.
10. Medi Frida Accu-dose Pacifier

The Medifrida pacifier is a great tool used to give small infants their dose of medicine with little to no hassle. Weather your little one is sleeping or awake the Medifrida can always get the job done!
