Are you feeling exhausted, tired and overwhelmed after becoming a mom? Taking care of a little one in the first few months is a ton of work and it can feel overly challenging at times. In this blog post I will introduce you to a few must have baby products that were indispensable to me in those initial few months as a new mom.

**Please be aware that the below review of all the mentioned baby products is from my own personal experience of using them in my early months after becoming a new mom.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was completely mesmerized by the innumerable baby products available in the market and felt that I needed everything. But after having my little girl I realized that not everything that looked fancy was useful. As a new mom along with taking good care of my baby I also needed some downtime for myself to relax as well as recover from a c-section. It was during those initial months I found myself relying on a few baby products that were very helpful to me.

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Steam Sterilizer, White

A complete life savior and I absolutely love it. Being a working mom, time is always my biggest constraint and I found this electric steam sterilizer very handy. After washing the milk bottle I just mount them in this sterilizer unit and let it run for a few minutes. What I get are germ-free sterilized bottles ready to use. Such a huge relief with a baby at home!

Philips AVENT Bottle Warmer

While looking for a bottle warmer I wanted something that was universally designed to fit multiple brands of bottles so that if I have to change the milk bottle for my baby girl in the near future I would not have to purchase a new warmer. I found that the Avent bottle warmer suited to the best of my needs. It's easy to use and compact in size. Although it is only designed to warm a four ounce milk bottle, I am able to warm my eight ounce bottle as well using the same warmer.

Jj Cole Original Bundleme, Infant

Buffalo is one of the coldest cities in united states where we have harsh winter close to five months in a year.

It was very useful when I had to take my baby for her doctor's appointment or anywhere outside and this cover would make sure that my baby was warm and cozy.

Summer Infant Contoured Changing Pad

Changing pads is a must have baby product. As a new mom you are going to change a lot of diapers regularly so why not have a designated spot for it. Having a fixed spot in your home to change diapers along with all the diaper essentials near it can prove very stress free. Some of the good options for a diaper changing table to keep the changing pad on is this one and this.

Redmon 5-Piece Hamper Set, White/Pink/Blue/Grey

I have realized that while taking care of a baby it is very important to be as organized as possible as things can get very messy sometimes. I found these organizers extremely handy to keep everything in it's proper spot. This five piece basket set is available in multiple colors and can be used as a diaper caddy, baby medicines organizer, toy holder and a laundry basket.

Baby carrier for parents

Lately I have been using these a lot as the weather is getting warmer outside. It's a great design for a baby carrier to keep the baby close to you while you take a walk outside. It can come in really handy when you are in a crowded place or when your little one is too fussy and disagrees to sit in the stroller.

The New Yorker Breast Pump Bag by Charlie G

My absolute favorite! I have this breast pump bag which I carry to work regularly. You can view my recent post here on what I carry in my breast pump bag at work. It is one bag that holds all my personal items, work laptop, breast pump and cooler bag.

This infant-toddler rocker seat is what I use daily to keep my baby close to me while I can get some cooking, cleaning and other household activities done. It is very handy, light and easy to carry around and the hanging toy keeps my little girl entertained for a long time.

Dr. Brown's Original Baby Bottles

As a nursing mom I had to go through a few bottles initially from various brands to get by baby used to bottle feeding. She naturally liked to nurse more but as a working mom I did have to get her used to the bottle. I found that she took to the Dr. Brown bottle willingly and it doesn't confuse her between nursing and bottle feeding.

Boppy Pillow

A great pillow support while feeding the baby. Also comes in very handy for tummy time, laying the baby in a guarded position and for practicing sitting.
