"Diapers! And even if your baby, by some chance, has a reaction to one of the brands, most stores will allow you to return them in exchange for another."

—Katie Kiger on Facebook

"Don't forget to do a diaper raffle at your shower! Our little guy just turned 6 months old, and we have only had to buy three boxes of diapers so far!"

"A decent baby carrier that doesn’t hurt your back, like the Ergo."

—Breanna Schofield on Facebook

"Tula carrier! I have a standard size for my daughter and a toddler size for my son! They're super comfortable, and my husband can even use them! Perfect for crowded farmers markets that strollers are too bulky for."

"Definitely my Boppy nursing pillow! It makes nursing a MILLION times easier, and down the road you can use it to help baby with tummy time or sitting up to see the world! I take it everywhere too!"

6. A Wipe Warmer

"We had a few close friends and family members tell us that a wipe warmer is a must have, and we are sure glad we listened! Our little 2-month-old girl hates being cold, so the warmer does the job! Also, if she has any sticky messes in her diaper, the warm wipes help to soften and cleans stuff off a lot easier."

7. A Sleep Sack and Velcro Swaddles

Halo / Via amazon.com, SwaddleMe / Via amazon.com

"Halo Sleepsack! This has been the best thing so far with my newborn. It's roomie enough for him to kick his legs, and you can swaddle his arms down or leave them out and free. It keeps him nice and toasty on cold nights!"

—aldacc

8. A Diaper Cream Brush

"BabyBum spatula — no more greasy cream under your nails!"

—sally_caverzan

9. Baby Gowns (For Any Gender!)

Target / Via target.com

"Baby gowns! They make late-night diaper changes so much easier by not having to pull their bottoms out of footie PJs. They will still be completely covered, so you don't have to worry about them being cold."

—kammys2

10. A Smart Baby Monitor

"An Owlet! It’s a smart sock that monitors the baby’s oxygen levels and heart rate. As a new mom with anxiety, it was really nice to have the piece of mind that if something were to happen, we’d know about it right away."

—emilyl4114a10f5

11. A High Chair With Multiple Uses

Zoe Strollers / Via zoestrollers.com

"Definitely a high chair that’s best for your growing child! I’m all about saving money and reusing the product to its full intent, so I bought ZOE high chair. It has five uses! And it has a little storage basket in the table! How cool is that?"

12. And a Gift Card for Some Self-care

"Some of the guys at my boyfriend's work all chipped in and bought me an hour-long massage at a spa. Don’t forget about yourselves, ladies! Giving birth is hard, and being a new mother is exhausting (and so rewarding), but remember you need some TLC too!"
