Newborn to 3 Months
With my third trimester on the horizon {I can't even begin to tell you how quickly time is passing with this pregnancy} I'm in full nesting mode and starting to think back to all the essentials and go-to items that I relied on with my first. I will admit, the newborn to three month stage is a bit of a blur and being a first time parent it's a steep learning curve, but this time around is a little different. I've narrowed down the list and will be pulling out, organizing and buying various essentials in the coming weeks with a little more insight this time around. Granted, every baby is different and the transition from one to two will be different, but for the most part I think I have a good handle on what we'll need to prep for baby number two.
In retrospect you don't really need a lot during the first few weeks aside from the diapering, feeding essentials, swaddle blankets and onesies, but it can be overwhelming and feel daunting the first time around. Here is a round up all my favorites and the actual things I used and needed during the first 3 months.
