With so many lists and brands for newborns out there, shopping for newborns can get overwhelming. Distinguishing the essentials from the non-essentials gets difficult. That’s why we’ve come up with an article about newborn baby must haves with the reasons why we trust it for our babies.
Newborn baby must haves

Baby’s Clothing
No-scratch Mittens – Baby’s nails start growing from the 12th week of pregnancy and they never stop growing. Having these soft Grow by Gerber Baby Organic Mittens will prevent them from scratching their faces.

Newborn Hats – Hats are necessary because a baby’s head is proportionally bigger, resulting in more heat transfer. A hat prevents too much heating or cooling of the baby. We love the Gerber Baby 5-cap set because it has an adjustable ribbed cuff for a perfect fit.
Cotton Pants – The Touched by Nature Unisex Cotton Pants are definitely worth it. It has soft quality fabric and fits well with a cloth diaper. · One-Piece Stretchy Sleepers Burt’s Bees Baby Bodysuits is one of the newborn baby must-haves, made of 100% cotton, so it’s gentle on the baby’s skin. Plus, it comes in various colors.

Baby’s Bath Time
Infant Tub – We can’t recommend Munchkin Sit and Soak Baby Bath Tub even more. It has build in support bump to keep baby safe and soft padded foam backrest to add comfort for babies. Babies grow so fast, but you can use this tub up until they’re toddlers. It is suitable for babies who are 0-12 months old.
Hooded Towel and Washcloths – Luvable Friends Hooded Towel comes with Five Washcloths and adorable unisex designs. It’s affordable and gentle on your baby’s skin.

Bedtime
