Your New Baby Wish List
Not only does a new baby come without an instruction manual, the manuals that you do get often include MUST HAVE ITEMS that just make me laugh. Babies don’t need half of what is in most books. Now, yes.. these things would be nice and might make your life a little easier for a while. But, when it is all said and done.. Check out our list of the top bought items from the baby wish list!
aden + anais Classic Muslin Swaddle Blanket 4 Pack
Pack of four 100% cotton muslin swaddling blankets. aden & anais wraps are the ultimate in breathability and softness. The fabric’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally in order to prevent overheating, so that a swaddled baby stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is gentle on baby’s skin and durable for everyday use, as the more you wash it, the softer it gets. aden & anais wraps are a generous size, measuring 47″ x 47″, so that new and seasoned moms alike can swaddle babies of all sizes with ease. In addition to the common use as a swaddling wrap, aden & anais wraps are versatile, useful as burp cloths, nursing shields, stroller covers to protect from sun, cold, wind or insects, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, change table covers, and more.

HALO 100% Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle
Keep your baby safe and warm with the HALO SleepSack Swaddle. Used in hospital nurseries throughout North America, this wearable blanket with swaddle wrap fits comfortably over your child’s sleepwear, replacing loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby’s face and interfere with breathing. In addition to helping your baby sleep safer, it helps him sleep better, too. Its adjustable swaddle wrap immobilizes your baby’s arms to prevent the “Moro,” or startle reflex. And, it is the only 2-in-1 adjustable swaddle that allows for swaddling arms in or arms out for baby’s comfort, which will ensure an easy and gentle transition to the SleepSack wearable blanket when it is time to stop swaddling. Its inverted zipper unzips from the bottom of the SleepSack, making diaper changes easy. Use over regular sleepwear to take the place of loose blankets. Discontinue swaddling when the baby shows signs of rolling over or breaking out of the swaddle wrap.

The gym’s movable arches can slide up to create an overhead gym, or out to the side so you can join your baby for some fun tummy time. He’ll love reaching up to grab the frog rattle, seeing himself in the mirror, and will delight over the lights and music of the friendly caterpillar.

I actually had a few of those new baby wish list items.
I liked the sleep sack if we weren’t using the swaddler. But he still won’t use covers/blankets at night. Oh well.
