Newborn Essentials

Below are the things we are currently loving on for Neruda’s first couple weeks of life. As with all areas of our life, we like to keep things simple. You know how we roll–less stuff, more adventures.

SLEEP

Signature Bilia Bassinet

I love the clean aesthetic of our Signature Bilia Bassinet from Design Dua. We use ours with the Modern Rocking Bassinet Stand found in this bundle (basket not included). The bassinet is good for babes up to 18 pounds that cannot roll over and/or sit up unaided. The entire set up is sturdy yet lightweight, and easy to move from room to room.

EAT

Neruda is exclusively breastfed and while I will eventually pump, we don’t plan on introducing her to a bottle until after these first forty days. With that said, the Feeding + Support Pillow from Snuggle Me Organic has helped free up one or both of my hands while nursing. Basically, I can snack and sip all day long thanks to this handy dandy cushion! *Use KAUAILIFE35 for 35% off your purchase!

DIAPER

For the first time ever we are using disposable diapers. Naturally, we had to find the ones with the smallest environmental impact. Coterie diapers are soft, breathable, absorbent and secure–they also transition from daytime to nighttime use with zero issues. Made out of 100% plant-based fibers from sustainably managed forests, their wipes are both hypoallergenic and eco-friendly! *Use COTERIEPRISCILLA for $20 off your first purchase of $75 or more!

BATH & BODY

By now you know how much we love our Earth Mama Organics family so here are my top picks from their baby products: Sweet Orange Baby Wash, Calendula Baby Oil, and Organic Diaper Balm. I especially love how the latter can be used as a multi-tasking skin salve! *Use the code Kauailife for 20% off through 3/31/21.

PLAY

During these early days all your babe needs is a place (outside of your arms) from where they can safely explore. Snuggle Me Organic has answered this call with their Infant Lounger. This miracle lounging pad keeps baby nice and cozy so that they can focus on interacting with the world around them. *Use KAUAILIFE35 for 35% off your purchase!
