B: Bottles

Whether you’re breast feeding or formula feeding, you are going to need bottles! Most pediatricians recommend Dr. Brown’s bottles. We used Dr. Brown’s bottles for both of our girls and loved them! They have an insert that helps to reduce the amount the air that gets into the bottle and baby so it greatly reduces gas issues and reflux! We had no issue with these common problems, thanks to these bottles!

L: Library Card

Babies love to listen to your voice. Reading to your baby is not only fun for them but helps them to learn language and detect emotion/inflection. Books are expensive! Go and sign up for a library card at your local library! Bonus! You can also borrow music for baby and educational DVD’s for them as they get older!

M: Mirror for Car

Not only does a car mirror allow you to keep an eye on baby and what they are doing, but they also love to look at themselves! They start to explore their face and facial expressions while riding in the car!

Half way done! Let’s finish the rest of the alphabet in your must have baby items list A-Z!

N: Nose Frida

It will totally gross you out the first couple times using this thing (even though you KNOW there is a filter in it so no snot will go in your mouth)! However, these things are a God send! They will completely clear your babies nasal passages and allow them to breathe easy again!

O: Oil

In my article, Boujie on a Budget, I talk about baby oil and it’s benefits for adults. Baby oil works better than lotions because it gets absorbed in the skin rather than just lather on to of it. It will truly moisturize your baby’s skin and keep them baby soft!

P: Portable Changing Pad

Start looking around now at public places for a changing table. THEY ARE HARD TO COME BY! A lot of places either don’t have them, they are broken, or they are unsanitary looking. I can’t count how many times I’ve had to change my babies diaper on my legs while sitting on the toilet… Do yourself a favor and buy a portable changing pad and solve those issues before they happen!

Q: Q-tips

Keeping wax build up out of the outer ear can help to prevent common ear infections in babies. Just make sure to never put the Q-tip inside of their ear, as you could damage their ear drum. Q-tips are also great to clean small bottle/toy parts!

R: Rocking Chair

Your baby may not like rocking all the time, but that’s how babies are…They go through phases. However, when they are in one of their phases of needing to be rocked to sleep you will want to be prepared. Otherwise you may find yourself driving around your neighborhood at all hours of the night!

S: Silicone Bibs

Life savers! Well…food savers! Love these bibs! I only use cloth bibs for excess drool. If your baby doesn’t drool a lot, you may not even need them. These silicon bibs are great! They are easy to clean and they catch almost everything that would have messed baby’s cute clothes!

T: Tub

A baby bath is a must. It will keep baby safe while you can easily bathe them. When you get one that grows with them, you can save lots of money!

U: Umbrella Stroller/ Car Seat Combo

You will need both, but make sure to get them as a combo. You don’t want to have to take baby out of their car seat to put them into a stroller. It’s so much easier for you and baby if you can just click the car seat into the stroller. Then, as they grow, they can sit in the stroller without the car seat.

V: Video Monitor

Video monitors are more expensive than just a sound monitor, but the peace of mind they give you is priceless! Being able to see your baby will not only provide you comfort, but you can also learn their bedtime routines/habits by watching them and that will help you to sleep train them!

W: Walker

As your baby learns and grows, and now their leg muscles are ready for more from their time in the jumper, they will be ready to try walking! Give them their independence by placing them in a walker to get used to the walking motion and soon they will be trolling all around the place!

Z: Zip Up Footies

These are a must! Babies can’t have anything else in their crib with them to keep them warm. Footed pajamas do the trick and are good for all year round! Just remember to avoid the ones with buttons/snaps (you will be cussing at those little buggers in the middle of the night) and just go for the zippered ones!
