Inside: In the early weeks, a handful of tools are absolute newborn must haves. Make sure you have these baby must haves<\/a> before baby’s born, and you’ll be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having four babies, I’ve heard it all<\/em> when it comes to newborn must haves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people insist you’ll need every baby-related gadget ever invented to keep your baby happy and healthy. And yet others say the only real<\/em> newborn must haves are your boobs, some diapers, and a comfy bed to sleep in – with the diapers and bed being optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fall somewhere in between the two schools of thought. My default setting is frugal and minimalist, but if there’s a gadget that will make the exhausting newborn phase easier on me or my baby, I’m all over it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, can you survive without a changing table? Of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after a couple weeks of changing 20 diapers a day while bent over your baby on the floor or your bed, you may end up looking a bit like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and wish you’d at least<\/em> gotten a changing pad to go on your dresser.<\/p>\n\n\n
