Got a new baby on the way? Whether you’re a soon-to-be new parent or you’ve already got a bundle of joy, we’re pretty sure that shopping for baby essentials is high on your priority list. There’s a steep learning curve, though, when you become a new parent, especially when it comes to the ins and outs of baby essentials. Which ones to stock up on? Which ones to skip?
The secret is to stick with the basics (at first)—ensuring you’ve got the necessary supplies for cleaning, feeding, and diapering, three major tasks ’rents perform on the daily. Once you’ve got these fundamentals down pat, the logical next step is to just regularly stock up on these practical items so they don’t run out.
Even better: You can have them sent straight to your doorstep on the same day. No more long queues and waiting. Good riddance, right? This is super welcome and useful for folks who don’t have the luxury to just drop their tasks at work or at home to run baby errands.
Up ahead—our checklist of baby items we’re sure you can’t live without once you’ve tried them.

The Daily Lotion, meanwhile, has been clinically proven to hydrate your kiddo’s skin for 24 hours, restoring the skin’s natural barrier while softening and soothing it, too. There’s also the multi-purpose Baby Advanced Cream to soothe and protect dry, chaffed, or chapped skin even in sensitive areas aka your baby’s cute little bum.
