As a new mommy, it can be overwhelming figuring out how to care for our new little bundle of joy and on top of that figuring out what items we need to provide the best care. So, I've decided to create a post with my must have items.
Here they are in no particular order:
Summer sleep sack... baby is free to move, but is also kept warm to wear at night or on cool days.
Britax B-Safe Infant Carrier.... I really thought I wouldn't need an infant carrier, as I had received one of those other car seats that are good from day one, but trust me this has been a life saver... baby hates being strapped down, but it's for his own safety :)
Dr. Brown's bottle...these are anti-colic, so that is the main reason why I chose them. My son got lots of gas with another type of bottle, so we switched. So far so good. A little hard to clean the vent, but anything to make things better for the baby.
Ergo carrier... I love this thing! A friend gave me the infantino and within minutes my back was hurting. With this baby right here I was able to carry baby all day and no back pain. Just an FYI... this is for babies 12lbs and heavier. For lighter babies I recommend adding the ergo infant insert. 
Ergo Infant Insert... I didn't want to buy this. BUT I ended up having to buy it because it was much more comfier for baby once he was in the carrier. I had seen some youtube videos on how to use the carrier without this insert, but my baby hated that. He didn't feel supported I guess. five minutes in this baby and he was out. It also did provide a lot of added head and neck support. 
Enfamil Premium Infant Ready to Use Cans... What a time saver! I hated using the powdered formula. It just got too messy. So when I discovered the premade cans I jumped at the chance. What I do is once I open the can I poured the formula onto a sealed tumblr and kept it in the fridge. Please note that once a can is opened it must be used within 48hours.
Kirkland Diapers Size 1-2... pretty good diapers for a super cheap price :)
Huggies Natural Care Wipes...I love these wipes. They're not overly scented or smell like bleach like the kirkland ones. I also think they're thick enough. Love 'em! Of course, there are a million other baby must have items, but these are truly my faves. How about you? Anything I'm missing?
