Overview

At a time in your life when you’ve got unsolicited advice coming out of your ears, “hello stranger lady on the street! Really? That is an interesting remedy for hemorrhoids!” We’re here to simplify the whole process and help you figure out what is vital, what is helpful, and what is technically “icing on the cake.” (Though we’ll totally back you up when you argue the case, “Dear, the Dwell crib bedding set is integral to the healthy development of our child.”)

We’ve put together a thorough list of newborn baby needs and wants and categorized them by topic. This list focuses on the ages of 0-3 Months old. The most important thing to remember is that while some of this stuff will make your job as a Mama easier, you and the baby could survive just fine without most of it. Everyone has a different motherhood experience so not everything will be relevant to you. There is no right or wrong, you can pick and choose which things will work for you and your family. When that nesting urge hits you’ll have a plan of attack. Let’s get to it!
