Fashionable Yet Functional Products for New Parents

When it comes to preparing for the arrival of a new baby, most people fill their shower registries with tons of items for the baby. From cute outfits and receiving blankets to cribs and bottles, there are lots of products that make the task of parenting a bit easier. These things are all great and really do come in handy, however, the baby isn’t the only one that will need new devices, clothing, and supplies.
What could mom and dad possibly need? Here are a few things you might want to consider adding to your shopping wishlist or registry: 

Comfortable Clothes
After having a baby your body will go through a series of changes before you’re able to get back into your old clothes. Not to mention, the first few months after the birth mom and dad tend to stay at home with the baby. Having comfortable clothes, therefore, is a must – especially for women. Adding things like leggings, stretchy jeans, t-shirts, flats, and running shoes to the list is ideal. Having items that allow you to look presentable but also comfortable while at home with the baby like pajamas, robes, and house shoes is also a great idea. 
Nursing Bras
This one is obviously just for new moms, but if you’re breastfeeding you want to be as comfortable as possible. Nursing bras make baby’s feeding experience easier and comfortable. They come with extra padding to keep breasts intact and secure. However, nursing bras also have openings that provide easy access for feeding at home or in public. The best part is, the styles have really changed over the years. Instead of oversized, uncomfortable, generic bra and panty sets, they now have various colors, patterns, and sizes for you to choose from. 
Diaper Bag Backpack
Diaper bags are essential for caring around diapering supplies and other baby necessities. However, trying to lug around a baby, car seat, stroller, and a bag can be a lot. Mom and dad would be wise to add a diaper bag backpack to the registry. These are diaper bags that are designed just like backpacks with comfortable straps, insulation for bottles, and several compartments for everything from your wallet, keys, and smartphone to the wipes, diapers, and a change of clothes for the baby. 
Baby Carriers
Your baby’s need to be held never seems to coincide with your schedule. It can be difficult to have a baby in your arms while you’re trying to clean dishes, prepare dinner, or tend to other things around the house. A baby carrier can make all the difference giving you a hands-free way to kill two birds with one stone. No matter what your personal style is, they have carriers in various colors, patterns, and styles to suit your fancy. 
Makeovers
After having a baby you start to let yourself go. Not purposefully, but simply because you’ve dedicated so much time to make sure the baby has everything they need. For some parents, this can lower their self-esteem. You can help boost their spirits and help them tap back into their diva (or divo) status by getting them a makeover. A nice new haircut, a new outfit, or some new beauty products can do wonders for their mood. 
New Linens
Sleep is something new parents won’t get much of in the first few months. However, having the perfect sleeping environment makes it easy for them to get good rest. Some stylish new linens could help with this. A set of sheets and pillowcases along with a nice plush comforter can really do the trick. 

Smart Watches
New parents should really take advantage of modern technology to make their jobs easier. A nice smartwatch, for example, can make scheduling appointments, creating a feeding and sleeping schedule for the baby, and generating shopping list a lot easier. Not to mention, some smartwatches even sync with home assistant devices and other Bluetooth capable devices in the house so things, like making coffee, turning off lights, or turning on white noise sound to get baby fast asleep, can be done with the press of a button. 

So you see, there are a lot of things that mom and dad could use to make caring for the baby and themselves a lot easier (while still being fashionable). These above-mentioned ideas are not only fashionable but are also practical and convenient for new parents.
