New Mom Must-Haves

Use at the Hospital

Belly Bandit $46 Get a jump start on shrinking that baby belly (and get some much-needed back support) by wearing this abdominal compression wrap.

Dear Johnnies Hospital Gown $69 You’ve waited a long time for your special delivery. Why not mark the occasion with your very own hospital gown? Because who really wants to wear something that’s been worn by throngs of strangers.

Canon Digital Camera $149 If you don’t already have a digital camera, now’s the time to invest in one. We like how this camera is small and lightweight, and it’s easy to use. Just point and shoot and you get a clear photo each time.

Use at Home

Medela Manual Breast Pump $35 An electric breast pump is a life-saver, but if you only need to pump occasionally, invest in this pump. Two pumping modes mimic baby’s nursing rhythm, reducing the amount of pumping time, and it’s easy on your hands.

Belabumbum Maternity Robe $78 Comfortable and practical, yet sexy. That’s the best way to describe Belabumbum’s nursing-friendly loungewear. Featuring lovely lace details, you’ll look chic even if you haven’t brushed your hair.

Mama Mio Repair Kit $130 Love being a new mom but your new-mom body not so much? Pamper yourself while combating cellulite and saggy skin with this Emergency Repair Kit. It’s a little pricey, but you deserve it.

Use On the Go

Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover $35 Nurse confidently without worrying about revealing more than you’d like. Simply place the neck strap over your head and relax when baby tugs and pulls at the cover—it won’t slip off like a blanket.	Carter’s Swirls Diaper Bag $42 This ultra-chic diaper bag is a steal for under $100. Gorgeous prints, convenient pockets inside and out and adjustable stroller straps make it perfect from day one.	BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Spirit $80 Who says you can’t improve upon a great thing? Get the same trusty features as the original Bjorn, but in eight fun colors you can match to your personal style.

Counting down the days until baby’s arrival? Whether you still have a few months to go or are already in nesting mode, here are a few practical, yet oh-so-fabulous finds you can use from the moment you get to the hospital to your first outing with baby.
