Think PINK

Now for obvious reasons, when preparing for Emerson I wasn't purchasing any "pink". But with many friends and aquantinces having baby girls in the near future, I decided to put together a custom curated list of Baby Girl Must Haves! These are items that I either own (in blue of course) and love or would absolutely purchase if I ever have a little princess on the way one day myself!

baby girl must haves

SwaddleDesigns Baby Burpies 2-pc. Set Pink Mod Circles
target.com
The most absorbent burp cloths EVER.


AM PM Kids White with Pink Trim Hooded Towel
diapers.com
Every baby needs a hooded towel for bathtime, but for a baby girl I would get a simple pink trimmed towel and have it monogrammed!


Dorel Rocker Slipcover, Pink
walmart.com
This rocker & slip cover combo is inexpensive, comfy and stylish. We LOVE ours!


Swaddle Designs Ultimate Receiving Blanket Pink/ Brown Polka-Dots
target.com
This swaddle blanket is made of a thin flannel similar to the hospital's blankets, which makes it so easy to swaddle baby really tight like the nurses do!


Cloud B Sleep Sheep
diapers.com
We use this every night and couldn't sleep without it. Our fave sound is the rain!


Deluxe My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow - Green - Best Price
diapers.com
This pillow kicks the boppy's butt! It's shape is perfect for contouring to baby's body and the storage pocket is brilliant!


Kissy Kissy Footie - Best Price
diapers.com
Kissy Kissy makes the softest most cozy cotton clothing and is essential for sweet newborn skin. I like this footie, matching hat and bib for keeping baby comfy on the daily.


aden + anais Swaddle Wrap 4 Pack - Best Price
diapers.com
These muslin swaddle blankets are used for everything at our house. Primarily of course as blankets, they also double as impromptu nursing covers or a tummy time mat, even to keeping the car seat covered to keep nosy strangers from getting too close.


Timi & Leslie Charlie Diaper Bag - Black - Best Price
diapers.com
Any Timi & Leslie diaper bag will make your life SO much easier. They come with so many essential items and can store everything!


Baby Biscotti - Butterfly Baby Gown
atterdagkids.com
Every new baby needs something special to come home from the hospital in. If had had a baby girl, se would be wearing this sweet little number home and I would be displaying it in a shadow box with other birth memorabilia afterward.


Nap Nanny Chill- Minky Pink
diapers.com
The Nap Nanny is incredible. I seriously don't know what mom's did before it came along. Is perfect for baby to lounge/nap in by day and sleep in next to the parents bed at night!


aden + anais Burpy Bib - Best Price
diapers.com
This bib doubles as a burp cloth, which is pretty sweet. The layered muslin makes it absorbent and great for feeding!


Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover - Chateau Silver - Best Price
diapers.com
All nursing covers are not created equal! This one is in a chic pattern and has a firm but flexible frame at the top so you can peek in on baby.


Kissy Kissy Pant Simple Stripes - Best Price
diapers.com
Again, Kissy Kissy is soft and incredibly well made. I think the pink stripe kimono top and pant set would be an essential in baby's wardrobe.


Guava Kids Guava Mitts - Best Price
diapers.com
I don't know what it is, but newborns like to scratch the mess out of themselves! I couldn't keep any scratch mitts on Emerson besides these. He pretty much lived in them for the first month. 


Medela Breastmilk 5 oz Bottle Set - 3 pk - Best Price
diapers.com
For breast milk storage and feeding.


Kissy Kissy Cross Short Sleeve Tee Simple Stripes - Best Price
diapers.com
To go with the pants of course!


Jefferies Rock-A-Bye Socks - 6 Pack - Best Price
diapers.com
I couldn't keep any socks on Emerson without him kicking them off in the begining. Then I remembered that at one of my showers I had recieved a pack of socks that another mom raved about. They were Jefferies! Seriously so soft and they stay put!


Avent Soothie Pacifier - 0-3 Mo - Pink/Purple - 2 Pk - Best Price
diapers.com
These pacifiers allow you to put your finger in them to help soothe baby. Emerson wasn't big on the paci, but these worked when he was otherwise inconsolable. 


Huggies Natural Care Unscented Baby Wipes Refills 320ct. - Best Price
diapers.com
Huggies Natural Wipes are thick and get the job done. Enough said. I recommend Huggies wipes and Pampers diapers. Pampers diapers don't leak and are SO much more secure.


Kissy Kissy Bib - Best Price
diapers.com
This bib coordinates with the other Kissy Kissy items. I like to match bibs with outfits personally to protect them from getting drooly. 


Medela Swing Breastpump - Best Price
diapers.com
The Swing by Medela is a single pump which is great for stay at home mom's. If I were a working woman I'd splurge for the double pump to save more time. 


Burt's Bees Baby Bee Nourishing Baby Oil - 4 fl oz - Best Price
diapers.com
Baby massage is beneficial for muscle development and digestion. I use Burt's Bees baby oil for my mini massages. 


Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether in Natural Rubber
diapers.com
If you don't have any other toys when baby comes home from the hospital, have Sophie!! Even when baby is too young to "play" Sophie absorbs your scent comforting baby and also her spots help with vision development. When baby grows Sophie will help to refine motor skills and provide teething relief.



These items didn't show up on the list, but I also consider them must haves for any baby girl!


What could be cuter than a Blooming Bath! Can you imagine all of the Anne Geddes type pictures you could take during bath time with this aborable tub?


This hospital hat by Tweetlebug Boutique with a big bow will set your princess apart in the hospital nursery for sure! 


Lastly, everyone needs a baby book but take this one to the hospital and have the nurses stamp baby's footprint on it while they are already doing the birth certificate or Daddy's scrubs. One less thing for you to do when you bring your sweet angel home!
