Once you finish this blog, all the stress on your mind will be replaced with peace and joyful anticipation of the little one.
We have compiled a list of all the baby essentials in one place for your convenience.
Baby Sleep Essentials
Your little bundle of joy is going to sleep a lot in the beginning, so you have to ensure he/she is comfortable while sleeping. Check out these newborn baby sleep essentials:
Sleeping pod
Sleeping pods are an arms-up alternative to traditional swaddles. They allow the baby to sleep without being disturbed by startle reflex. It is essential for babies between 0 to 3 months. There are many benefits of using sleeping pods, such as uninterrupted sleep, better rest, and safety for your infants.
Baby Swaddle
Baby swaddles help in a smooth transition from the womb. You should invest in good quality swaddle cloth to ensure your baby is cool and comfortable in their swaddles. Swaddles also protect the baby’s limbs, keeping them snug and safe.
Baby Blanket
You need to buy a soft and lightweight blanket for the baby to keep him warm while not weighing him/her down. Baby blankets from Cocoon Care are made from bamboo muslin fabric, which is very soft and comfortable.
Baby sleepsuits
You need to buy comfortable and lightweight onesies and night suits for your baby to wear while sleeping. This will keep your baby cool and ensure that he/she sleeps well.
Baby Wardrobe Essentials
Stack up your baby's wardrobe with all the essentials in advance because once the baby comes along, you won’t have much time:
Bodysuit
Babies spoil their clothes often, so you might need to change their clothes multiple times a day.
Bodysuits are the easiest clothes for infants, so you should have multiple of these.
Baby Rompers
You can get soft baby rompers from Cocoon Care that get softer after every wash. The secret is bamboo fabric, which is 3 times softer than cotton.
