The first few months after baby arrives are the most special and beautiful moments, but they can also be the most challenging with minutes and hours blurring into each other. While the main focus of the fourth trimester is on the baby, we have some survival essentials that really make life easier and a little bit more fun while you get adjusted to a whole new world!
These are our fourth trimester essentials for both you and the baby:
For Mama
Levi James has designed a multifunctional nursing cover and infant car seat cover for the busy and fashionable mama. The Amara cover can be worn as a fashion scarf, a breastfeeding cover, an infant car seat cover or shopping cart cover.
2. Harem pants
We love the Easy Pants from Hatch for pregnancy and beyond. They are stretchy and super soft and work with your body through the various stages of motherhood. Plus, the drop crotch and tapered ankle look great for haome, running errands, or lunch date with your mom tribe.
3. Slippers
If you’re not planning on leaving the house, invest in a comfortable and cute pair of slippers. We love these handmade pom pom slippers.
4. Nursing bras
It’s almost impossible to find nursing bras that are both comfortable and that actually help make the breastfeeding process easier. Now add a touch of sexy and it’s even more tough. But this nursing bra has you covered (in more ways that one) in all departments!
A super soft v-neck is a new mama essential. Whether you’re looking for something lightweight enough to lift for feeding, comfortable enough to sleep in, or need a fool proof outfit to wear as you head out the door, we love, and so will you, the Monrow tee.
6. Backpack
This backpack has a big secret: it’s actually a diaper bag and fits all of the essentials for mama and babe. Plus, the simple and classic design makes it a fashion must have.
For Baby
1. Moses Basket
The Plum and Sparrow moses baskets are one of a kind, sustainably made, and support the Fair Trade Federation. You can easily take a sleeping babe with you from room to room in this basket.
2. Jumpsuit
We love jumpsuits for boys and girls. They are an easy and quick outfit choice. We especially love this one from Riley and Cru featuring teeny tiny buttons on the front.
The Little Unicorn swaddle blankets are the softest blankets are perfect for swaddling, cuddling, and lightweight stroller blanket. We can’t get over this super sweet print that matches our James Flamingo Cover.
4. Teether
When it comes to teething, we love LouLou Lollipop’s silicone donut teether. The matching clip is also silicone which helps baby soothe while teething.
Keep baby’s skin soft and smelling delicious with Tubby Todd’s essentials. Every product is extra gentle and can be used safely on tiny newborns and toddlers and are designed for sensitive skin.
White noise is music to baby’s ears. This on the go sound machine will play white noise to help your babe fall gently to sleep by creating a consistent sound environment.
