5 Items I Wish I Had When Grady Was a Newborn

We were extremely blessed when we had Grady that we received (more than) everything we needed for him at my baby shower. The only things we ended up purchasing were a dresser, an extra car seat base, and a few pieces of clothing that I was specifically wanting.

When the time comes for our next baby there are a few things that I will splurge on…

Dock a Tot ($195) WHY? Grady was a great sleeper, but this would have come in so handy as we transitioned him from the basinet to the crib. I also imagine it would be great for traveling when you don’t feel like packing up the whole pack-n-play.

Fawn Design Diaper Bag ($160) WHY? WHY? I have now been through three diaperbags. I never could find the perfect fit. I’ve settled on a Jeep diaper bag backpack, but it’s not pretty. I would like something a little more feminine.

Copper Pearl Swaddle ($24) WHY? These swaddles are huge and stretchy! You can swaddle a toddler in these puppies. Not only that but they are SOFT and lightweight.

Angelcare Bath Seat ($20) WHY? We tried two bath tubs with Grady. One was too hard. We tried one with the mesh but he outgrew it. I feel like this seat might be the perfect solution.

Lollipop baby camera ($149) WHY? Our baby monitor drives me insane. Grady can easily knock it over and the monitor is unreliable. The Lollipop camera wraps around the rails of the crib and Bluetooth connects to your phone. Plus, it notifies you when your baby is crying.
