Babies Must-Haves for New Parents

Nobody tells you the hospital just… lets you leave. Two babies later, here’s the honest list I wish someone had pressed into my hands — ten things that carried us through the newborn fog, and the stories behind every single one. lets you leave. One minute there’s a nurse for everything, and the next you’re buckling this tiny, furious, beautiful stranger into a car seat you watched a YouTube video about twice. I remember sitting in the back seat next to our Son holding my breath at every red light, thinking: are they sure we’re qualified for this?

Two babies and roughly four thousand diapers later, I can tell you this: you don’t need half of what the registry lists say you do. But the things you do need?
