We really enjoyed using a mini crib for the first 6 mo. It’s great for small spaces, you can even wheel it around room to room! This is of course totally up to your personal preferences. You just need a place for your baby to sleep (likely in your room). Whether you go for the SNOO (you can rent them now!), a simple moses basket, or cosleeping, you just need a place for baby to sleep these first few months!
Read MoreThis one’s pretty self-explanatory, but looking for one that is Green-Guard certified was our priority (this means it’s been screened for 360 VOCs and over 10,000 chemicals and tested to be lead and phthalate safe).

Read MoreWe love this little white noise machine - it’s portable, and has a bunch of different noise settings - from white noise to rain to wind.
Read MoreSleeping gowns are amazing, especially for the first few months where you’re doing a lot of diaper changes at night. They make it so much faster and easier. We love Naturebaby too, would highly recommend - especially their wool bodysuits.
Read MoreYou can use your swaddles for so many things - from actually swaddling, to a nursing cover, covering your stroller when baby is sleeping, etc. We’d suggest getting the largest you can find. Get 2-3 to start. We love these from Roux. And pretty much everything else from them, too.
Read MoreThis swaddle is great if your newborn can wrangle his/her way out of the regular swaddle or you don’t feel like wrapping the swaddle.
Read MoreThis is really our most used item. Night sleep, naps, etc. from 2 mo - 2 yrs, this serves as baby’s blanket. It’s merino wool, so temperature regulates.
Read MoreWe started using these when baby started sleeping longer stretches. Since they’re made of merino wool, they temperature regulate. We’d suggest getting 2 of each size (3-6), (6-9).
