Don't forget burp cloths for those inevitable messes. My fave burp cloths linked here- https://amzn.to/47NXsLX Bottles here- https://amzn.to/41cNzFn


2. **Stroller:**

  A reliable stroller is a game-changer for parents on the go. Look for one that fits your lifestyle, whether it's a lightweight umbrella stroller for easy maneuvering or a robust travel system that includes a car seat.

3. **Car Seat:**

  Safety is paramount when it comes to transporting your baby. Select a car seat that complies with safety regulations and can be easily installed in your vehicle. Many modern car seats can also be part of a travel system, seamlessly transitioning from car to stroller. Fave is here- https://amzn.to/4abzHiF


4. **Diapers and Wipes:**

  Stock up on diapers in various sizes and a generous supply of baby wipes. Whether you opt for disposable or cloth diapers, having an ample quantity ensures you're prepared for those inevitable diaper changes. Fave is here- https://amzn.to/47NcSA9 


5. **Nursing Pillow:**

  A nursing pillow provides essential support during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding sessions. It helps position your baby comfortably, reducing strain on your back and arms. Hands down my fave- https://amzn.to/3NkTjr0 


6. **Baby Monitor:**

  Keep a close eye on your baby, even when you're not in the same room, with a reliable baby monitor. Modern monitors come equipped with video capabilities, temperature sensors, and two-way communication, providing peace of mind for parents. Fave one here- https://amzn.to/41fzIOp
