Essentials for New Moms

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com.

Calling all new moms!  It is such a wonderful and exciting time when a baby is on the way.  There are also so many decisions to make and things to buy.  Where does one even begin?

We  have gathered some essentials for you to think about as you get ready for your little one to arrive. Take a look to see what might work for you and your family.

Nationwide Insurance

It is important to consider insurance options for your growing family. Some people think that they do not need insurance for their little ones because they are young and healthy. This is actually a great time to get insurance because you are able to lock in at a much lower rate.

Nationwide has tools and calculators that can help you determine what is best for you and your family.

Vichy Creams

Your body goes through so many changes when you are pregnant and after your baby is born. I have found that my skin needs a rich moisturizer and night cream since having children and Vichy creams are some of my favorites.

 

Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream: is a moisturizer for dry skin that soothes and replenishes your skin. This paraben-free moisturizer is formulated with 97% Natural Origin Ingredients and provides 48-hour dynamic hydration. 

Aqualia Thermal Night Cream: is a ultra-comfortable, velvety sleep mask infuses the skin with hydration overnight, when skin is most receptive to treatments. When using Aqualia Thermal Night Cream, your skin is soft, soothed and supple by morning.

bamboobies Open Nursing Shawl

I wish I had the Open Nursing Shawl when my girls were born.  It is so stylish and discreet that no one will even know it is a nursing cover.  Its kimono style offers privacy while breastfeeding. It’s available in classic black and boho shibori print.  Love this added bonus! It doubles as a car seat cover and is clinically tested to provide UPF 50+ sun protection for mom and baby.

  3. These are all great ideas for new moms. The Playtex Nursing Bras look really comfortable.

  5. These are some great products and this is a great blog. Not so long ago mom’s to be didn’t have the internet and I think that it is great that we do now. And your blog!

  6. These would great products to include in a gift basket for new moms. They’d all be appreciated, I’m sure.

  7. Nice list of essentials! I love the nursing shawl. The Playtex Nursing Bra looks really comfy and easy to wear.

  9. These are great products and I could have used them when I was expecting years ago!

  11. My niece is due for her first in a couple of weeks, I’d like to put a few of these together, I don’t recall any of these for the showers.

  13. Passed this on to my downstairs neighbor who just had a sprat, think she find it informative and useful, as well as this site.

  17. This is a great list and nice for every mom to have. My daughter really liked having her nursing shawl.

  18. I would say it’s good to have an adult version of the Sprout pouches too. They are great for a new Mom to pick up and eat when they’re too exhausted to make anything and don’t want to grab junk food.

  19. Great ideas for gifts for new Moms. Useful gifts that aren’t things that most people think of.

  20. (Essentials for New Moms) Going to share this with my daughter-in-law who is pregnant right now. I know she would like reading about all of these great items.

  25. These would be great in a basket for a new Mom. So much has changed since I had my first 26 years ago.

  27. All of these products are terrific, my niece is expecting her first baby on the 26th of this month and I’m sure that she would love all of them!
