Bringing Baby Home | Must - Have Products - Southern Made Blog

This isn’t my first go-round with little ones.  Although, I always find myself trying to remember what the must-have products were when we brought home our baby. Most of them always stay the same and then over the years, new products come out that we can’t live without.  I’ve rounded up my favorites and I’m sharing what we’ve stocked up on for our little man.

  1. Maxi-Cosi Infant Car Seat – We used this seat with Rohen and loved it, so naturally it’s being passed down to baby brother.
  2. Nasal Aspirator – I always stock up on the ones from the hospital.  I’ve yet to find a traditional aspirator that works as well as those.  A great backup is the NoseFrida.
  3. Dockatot – This is a new one for us and I can’t wait to use it.  I hear they’re amazing and perfect for a growing babe.
  4. Diapers – Honest is a brand that I’m so happy to have in my house.  We love all of their products.  It doesn’t hurt their diapers are adorable and chemical free.
  5. Binxy Baby Shopping Cart Hammock – This is one of those genius products that you can’t live without.  My infant car seats always took up so much room in the cart that I could only grab a few items at a time.  This hammock is a must have, especially if you’ve already got a toddler in the seat of the stroller. I’m pumped to have this one for our third baby.
  6. 4moms bounceroo – I used the Momaroo with my last son and I’m so excited to have this bounceroo this time around.  I was needing something lighter that I could move around the house and this is it! Love this product! Take 20% off Select Items 2/10-2/14 with code LOVE20 at 4moms.com! Link ID: 284501
  7. Lovenest pillow – I’m so excited to have this product. Newborns tend to get flat heads over time from sleeping on their backs so much.  This pillow was developed by a pediatrician and helps prevent flat-head syndrome. It’s great from birth to four months of age.
  8. Pacifier – I love the Natursutton pacifier. It’s 100% natural rubber that is chemical free.
  9. Car seat cover – This car seat cover from Little Bit Outfitters is so versatile! You can also use it as a nursing cover, shopping cart cover, and more. It’s great to have in your car for whatever you may need it for.
  10. Soothe shirt – This soothe shirt from Lalabu is such a great idea! Its little pocket for a newborn is perfect when you need both hands and makes breastfeeding easy.
  11. Cool Mist Humidifier – We always have humidifiers on hand, especially with a newborn baby.  This one is great!
  12. Burp Cloths – These are a must have and this brand is one of the best.
  13. Swaddle Blankets – Something every mom should have an ample of amount of are swaddle blankets.  I love Buttermilk Babies products.  Their swaddle blankets are seriously the softest that we own.
  14. Warm Blanket – I always make sure to have a couple of these warm blankets on hand for my little ones.  It’s definitely something I’m never without when it comes to a newborn.
  15. Newborn Gowns / Hats – I’m obsessed with these adorable tie gowns and MishMash Clothing has some of the cutest! I cannot wait to put my little man in one of these gowns and hats.
  16. Hooded Bath Towel – Modern Burlap has always been a favorite of mine but I’m really stoked to have this hooded bath towel this time around. Unlike most newborn towels that I’ve found, this one is very absorbent and soft! Plus, it’s adorable.
  17. Brush Set – This brush set from Natemia is perfect for your baby in all stages.  We’ve had a lot of brushes and these are by far my favorite.
  18. Owlet – If you’re a mom, then you can imagine the peace this product brings.  It will be my first time using the product and I am so thankful for the technology of this device. Next month I’ll be doing a review on the product and I can’t wait to tell you more about it.

Are you a first time mom or an experienced mom? What were your must have products?

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
