My baby girl is two months old, and I wrote up a post on non-basic things we found out we needed in the early weeks on my blog (http://eliseandjoe.tumblr.com/post/29025288524/our-newborn-essentials). Some other things we love are the Blooming Bath, Aden + Anais muslin swaddles, and the Boppy Newborn Lounger. If you're breastfeeding, I've found that the My Brest Friend pillow is way more supportive than the Boppy - but I had a really big baby :) And for clothes (the fun stuff!), I am obsessed with Mini Boden, Next Direct, Janie and Jack and Baby Gap. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have questions about anything! Congrats on your baby boy!Elise Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679871574559837625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896946605595719451.post-34465455788699668562012-08-30T08:07:52.989-06:002012-08-30T08:07:52.989-06:00Too cute!

I wish you a safe and good birthing. :) <br /><br />I have two kids now and when I had my first boy, of course I didn't know much. I learned a lot of things that I don't necessarily need to have and would actually save us some money. Anyway, this video I like about what you need for bringing baby home. She did well explaining it on video. <br /><br />Aden & Anais receiving blankets are awesome. I have four and they are bigger and wider than the regular once. Zippered clothes are the best and quickest way to dress the baby. A lot of burp cloths. Don't buy way too much NB clothes since they grow up pretty fast. And of course, cute outfit for the when baby comes home or photo taking at the hospital. :) Enjoy the little one and take lots of pictures!!!!! <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QckOk1I3g5Mmommy Orkid Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914609717156136873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896946605595719451.post-31904808751214931332012-08-29T16:17:46.031-06:002012-08-29T16:17:46.031-06:00Hi, love your blog!!

She is just so excited about her first grandchild she thinks we need absolutely everything invented for babies. Luckily my hubby was there to stop her from wasting her money on some of the most ridiculous, unnecessary baby things.<br />As far as the bigger purchases go we have decided to just stick with the basics like cot, buggy, car seat, changing table. I also am a bit confused over what the baby does or doesn't need.<br />It can be so daunting going into those baby shops especially when it's your first pregnancy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Antoinette Musikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090393860414554973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896946605595719451.post-62083512222164104702012-08-29T11:26:22.057-06:002012-08-29T11:26:22.057-06:00Looking good girlfriend!

I am way too short for and my husband does not want to use it either. Also the baby bags. Maybe just me, but i don't like the traditional baby bags, so I bought a big tote instead. Also don't buy too much baby clothes(i now know) because they grow up so fast. I hope this helps. <br /><br />xo<br />Sam<br />http://fabulouspetite.blogspot.comfabulouspetitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484106306171451566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896946605595719451.post-40815830262360298022012-08-28T16:47:49.528-06:002012-08-28T16:47:49.528-06:00I think this is my favorite outfit yet.

A place to sleep, diapers, clothes, and LOVE! But a couple things I found super super helpful and would probably say I couldn't live without now are a sound machine (bless that thing) and a swaddle blanket (we liked the velcro ones like the Swaddleme ones).

It fills up so fast and it's pointless. Just put them in the regular trash.<br />If you put him in a shirt and pants, have a onesie underneath to keep him warm.<br />Keep an extra blanket in the car.<br />I love my Boppy. The Bumbo worked for a little bit, but Quinn learned how to try and tip it over fairly quickly. It's good if you need to feed the baby somewhere without high chairs though.Breenahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434834957212834928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896946605595719451.post-65316881908437880402012-08-28T12:41:18.031-06:002012-08-28T12:41:18.031-06:00love your outfit dear..you are so sweet..:-)
