We’ve chatted before about my favorite baby shower gifts, but I thought we’d ask our Say Yes team what their go-to new baby gift is, since everyone seems to have one thing they buy again and again. Here’s what they said…

We still use our Inglesina hand me down–it’s so clutch for restaurants and on-the-go.
Also: baby Merlin! Great for the startle reflex.
And someone gave us a great round, diaper changing pad. Terry on one side (for pee) and vinyl on the other (for poo). She made it and we use the heck out of it!
Great, practical, sweet post, as ever. I would have loved any of these! You should totally do a children’s birthday gifts post too. It’s always interesting to hear what different people’s kids have loved and what the parents like to give too.
I love the dockatot!

I had twins in 2015 and a singleton in 2017, so I really had a chance to look at what worked (and what was gimmick) with the twins, and what I loved with all three (or changed, once there were three).
I agree 100% on the Gerber onesies! Great for the price and make excellent layers under outfits or PJs.
My all time favorite items (workhorses), though are:
1. Wide-mouth, waterproof diaper backpack (lightweight and easy even with a front carrier with baby) the generic ones on Amazon are just perfect and come in many pretty colors. About $35.
2. Baby Bjorn bouncer – no noises, no motors, no batteries, and can be used from birth through toddlerhood. About $150, depending on colorway and sales.
3. Summer Infant Pop n Sit – about $25. This is a fabulous portable high chair and tiny kiddo beach/lounge chair! Worth every penny.
4. Stokke Tripp Trapp. I love that my kiddos could use independent and attractive high chairs, and then sit at the table once they could eat with dishes and utensils, and I love that these chairs will fit them into adulthood. About $250-350, depending on accessories purchased.
Great ideas, thank you! I’m always loved the Stokke as well and the baby Bjorn Boucer sounds awesome!
I love the idea of gifting a baby journal! It’s such a lovely personal present. 🙂
