Congratulations, mama-to-be! This exciting transition comes with the inevitable question: what do I need? As you prepare for motherhood, here is a quick guide to some essentials to help you get started.

Make breastfeeding a beautiful and comfortable experience for you and your baby. Your mommy bag can include creams and items that make nursing and or expressing milk as smooth as possible. Remember to focus on what makes you feel good!

Welcome your bundle of joy with products that will acclimate your baby to a new environment. Every baby is unique but these will aide you to build your bond.

This is just a starting point. Be patient with yourself as you navigate this exciting (sometimes, overwhelming) time. What's important is you prioritize self-care and provide love and a safe space for your little one. Warmest wishes on the arrival of your baby!
