5 indispensable NEWBORN products (A ROOKIE mommies ROUND-UP!)

No matter how prepared of a person you are, you can never really prepare for becoming a parent. We are all about mommies helping moms, so of course, we had to ask some of our favorite mamas about the products that helped them survive the newborn stage.

5 Newborn Must-Haves from the Rookie mommy Squad

Ring Sling

Rookie Mom, Karissa, says that her all-time favorite newborn item is a ring sling. She really loves the Nalakai ring Sling because it’s just as high quality & comparable to some of the big expensive brands without the huge price tag.

Gro Anywhere Blackout Curtain

Laura, one of our sleep experts, recommends the Gro Anywhere Blackout curtain to all new mamas. She says making sure your baby’s room is pitch black will help signal that it’s bedtime! Light can interfere with melatonin production, so we need to make sure our baby’s room is as dark as possible, helping them to wind down. Plus, they can even travel with you!

Rohm portable sound Machine

Shelby, a mama of two on our Rookie mommy Squad, says the Rohm portable sound maker helped her survive the newborn days! It is chargeable, portable, and easy to use. Plus, she has had it for 2.5 years and it still works outstanding for being less than $30.

Woolino sleep Sacks

Shelby also recommends Woolino sleep Sacks. The 2-24 month four seasons sleep sack is a one-and-done item. They are really outstanding quality, and one sleep Sack lasted her through both kids.

Tubby Todd

Now for a product the whole squad absolutely loves! You won’t use Tubby Todd ideal away on your newborn, but depend on us you want it waiting in the cabinet for when you do need it. Tubby Todd makes some of the best body care products for babies; shampoo, body wash, lotion, and more.

Kate says, “I’ve purchased other soaps and lotions that fall into this same category, and I find that the smell of this product surpasses its competitors. I like it so much, I’ve actually been using the lotion on myself! My kid also has very sensitive skin (like his Mama), and the lotion, specifically, helps the small rashes he gets on his face and neck during the day, even with the scent (normally I go fragrance-free, but these natural scents are a game-changer).”

Amber also swears by Tubby Todd’s all over Ointment. This ointment is gentle enough for newborns but works for all ages. When her daughter has Eczema outbreaks, this is her go-to for relief.
