A mom can never have too many diapers and new moms will be grateful to have a stash right after giving birth. Disposable diapers are ideal — newborns tend to poop a lot — and mama might not have the time, energy, or willpower to wash soiled cloth. Try Watsons Love My Little Ones Baby Diapers, which come with a wetness indicator; breathable soft cottony cover, and are ultra-absorbent while preventing side leaks.
Remember that the babies will quickly grow out of their clothes, so his first wardrobe only needs to be a handful of tie-sides, shirts, pajamas, sleepsuits, and onesies. But that doesn’t mean their outfits don’t have to be cute!
These onesies from Musmos come in adorable designs and you can even have it customized for your little one. They’re quite affordable, too — check out their newborn bundles!
