My Newborn List: Clothes

Must Haves # 2: Basic Baby Clothes
  • Long Sleeve Onesies with the mitten cuffs
My third baby came out with long nails and would try very hard to scratch his face. The hospital video said to wait 3 weeks before cutting nails. The pediatrician gave me the green light when my baby was 5 days old but cautioned me to be careful because you could cut their skin by accident. I decided to wait for baby to be bigger before cutting the nails but needed a solution. I found the Gerber onesies with the mitten cuffs so helpful since mittens and socks would just fall off his hands. 


  • Newborn Footed Pajamas
With my first child, I did the buy tons of baby clothes brand new, full price, sale or clearance based on what I thought was really cute. I could not resist all the cute dresses and perfectly pink onesies. Second child, I learned the beauty of buying at second-hand stores, continued to buy items I really liked on sale or clearance and tried to avoid buying things at full price unless it was needed and needed to be an item purchased brand new. I also reused any unisex baby items. For my third I reused baby items and clothes and because we were team green I hardly bought any baby clothes. I did upgrade a few of my items as well as get rid of baby items I was not using. I much prefer to occasionally dress baby up for a special occasion or photo, but for everyday life, I love footed pajamas. Baby stays warm when he is sleeping in the baby carrier on the go, at night next to me on the bed or next to me in our Arms in Reach Mini Co-Sleeper. Another reason I like these is because baby socks always fall off. Sometimes you run out of the house or car without a blanket.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
