Newborn baby essentials

Now that each of our kids are no longer in the baby phase (<12 months), we can now confidently share what we used during that essential window when you just want to make sure your little one is safe and happy. A shout-out to my wife who did most of the research and compilation of these items - thanks to her it made our lives as parents to newborns much easier and we were much more prepared (thanks, wifey!)!
