I Still Can’t Believe Our Baby Boy Will Be Here in Just a Few Months!
Between researching must-have products, asking friends for their top recommendations, and of course designing the nursery, I’ve already fallen head-over-heels into this mother-to-be journey. 💙 These are some of my early favorite finds that I can’t wait to use once he arrives! (And let’s be real — this list will probably evolve a ton as he grows and I learn what works best as a first-time mama!)
🍼 Top Baby Gear I’m Loving Right Now
1. Nanit Baby Monitor + Floor Stand
Hands down my #1 registry item! I love that the floor stand gives a full view of the crib — perfect for peace of mind when he’s sleeping. The sleep tracking and app give real-time insights right on my phone, and this bundle even includes a sound machine. Truly a 24/7 sleep assistant!
2. Hatch Sound Machine
I already use this in my bedroom and guest rooms, so I knew we needed one for baby, too! There are lots of versions, but I love how stylish this one looks in the nursery — and it’s SO helpful for establishing routines.
3. Owlet Smart Sock Monitor
I had no idea this existed until it was recommended to me — but wow. It’s like an Oura Ring for babies! It tracks key vitals and sends alerts, so we’ll have extra reassurance during sleep. The app trend tracking is such a bonus for anxious first-time parents like me.
4. Diaper Genie
Once I committed to disposable diapers, this became a non-negotiable. It locks away smells so effectively — and the special bags make diaper duty so much easier.
5. Coterie Diapers + Wipes Gift Set
I’d heard such great things about Coterie — hypoallergenic, sensitive-skin friendly, premium quality — and our shower gift set (complete with diapers, wipes, a travel bag, and the cutest little plush bunny) is perfect for trying it all out once baby arrives.
6. Snuggle Me Lounger
I love that this is a cozy spot we can move around the house — perfect for supervised tummy time or quick rest during playtime in the sunroom. It’s made with organic materials and even has a machine-washable cover (hallelujah).
🧸 Organization + Essentials
Drawer Organizers
Organization is going to be everything in the nursery. I can’t wait to use these to sort clothes by size and style — making outfit changes a breeze!
Diaper Caddy
This has already earned a permanent spot on our dresser. I love that the insert dividers are adjustable — so everything from diaper cream to wipes stays neat and easy to grab.
🛁 Skincare + Bath Time Favorites
Aquaphor Baby Set
I’m a longtime Aquaphor fan, so I knew it would be perfect for sensitive baby skin. This set has both baby and diaper ointments — and I already feel like it’s going to be a bathroom essential.
Tubby Todd Bye-Bye Cradle Cap Set
Tubby Todd was highly recommended by fellow mamas, so I snagged this cradle cap set (complete with gel, brush, and soothing ointment) to be ready for whatever baby’s skin throws our way.
Muslin Washcloths
These are unbelievably soft — just perfect for bath time splashes and snuggly clean-ups.
✨ Extra Love for Laundry + Scent
Miss Mouth’s Stain Treater
You know I always love this — and now it’s officially stocked for all the baby messes ahead. Trust me: using this early means stains almost disappear instantly!
Scented Noodle & Boo Products
Friends suggested these for introducing gentle fragrances — which I’ve heard can help babies slowly adjust to scents as they grow. And let me tell you — it smells amazing!
🧡 Can’t Wait For…
Baby Carrier
I am so excited to baby wear! I already know both my husband and I will be reaching for this again and again — walks, errands, snuggles… it’s going to get a lot of love.
Stay tuned — I know this list will grow and change as we get closer to baby’s arrival and beyond. But for now, these are the products I’m most excited about and feel confident recommending to other expecting mamas! 💕✨
