Baby Gear 101: Random Necessities

I swear this is my last post.  There are a few more "necessities" however that I wanted to cover. Here are a few more tried and true mom recommendations that I am excited to try out.

The Sleep Sheep:  Really any noise maker is supposed to be high on the list.  The sleep sheep looks like a stuffed animal and attaches to anything, your crib, car seat, etc.
Swaddle Blankets: Everyone swears by the Aden + Anais brand and the bamboo collection is supposed to be incredibly soft.  I chose the Azure line and I am really excited about them.  I also stocked up on sleep sacks and SwaddleMe wraps.

Sophie: Now this one we wont use for a few months but pretty much any mom I know swears by Sophie for teething. My number one issue is going to be keeping Sophie away from our wiener dogs. :)
Burp Cloths:  So I was definitely gifted some adorable monogrammed burp cloths which I love.  I also stocked up on a few of the Aden + Anais Burpy Bibs.  I love the design of these and the coverage.
Bibs:  Most of our bibs were gifts and are either monogrammed or have a cute design but I also have a few of the Aden + Anais brand as well.
The Bumbo: The bumbo seat is another necessity.  I have heard great things and I can't wait until our little guy can sit up in this.
Humidifier:  I have heard having a humidifier is clutch for whatever room the baby sleeps in so I went with the HoMedics brand personal humidifier. I love the small size and neutral look.
Diapers:  We decided to give Pampers a go since I have heard they are the best for little boys.  I have stocked up on preemie and newborn diapers and wipes and hopefully our little man will do fine with them.
So there you have it.  Hope all of this helps.  I can't wait to start using all of our gear with Bodie!

Happy Thursday Friends!!
