It's Your Labor Day : Essentials to Pack for Your Newborn

Labor Day is a national holiday that celebrates working people, and we believe the hardest labor of all is the one that brings your child into the world. This holiday weekend, we're talking about all things delivery and easy ways to prepare for the arrival of your baby.

The final days before delivery can be some of the most exciting and anxiety-filled. There is so much to think about, especially when it comes to keeping your newborn safe and comfortable during the first few weeks in the world.

Enter, our Layette collection. Our layette items include anything your newborn might need in their first few months at home. From the first moment you hold them in your arms to the many cuddle sessions ahead, we’ve got you covered.

ESSENTIALS TO PACK IN YOUR "GO BAG"

The “go bag” is essential for your trip to the hospital, birthing center, or designated home space where you'll welcome your newborn. But what should you pack for the big day?!

• Make your stay comfortable
• Don’t forget to bring an extra charger, a bag of your favorite toiletries, and a few cozy basics like your favorite blanket or a bathrobe.
• Your baby is about to have a new favorite blanket with our soft swaddles. Wrap them in love from the first moment with a swaddle and knotted hat combo. Plus--it’s perfect for baby’s first photos!

• Baby's First Outfit
• Now that you’ve got your little one safely in your arms, it’s time to spend your first full day together. Cozy, stretchy clothes are essential for you both. The easier it is to put on, the better!
• For baby, we recommend our infant gowns, made with organic cotton and special fold-over cuffs to prevent scratching.
• Don’t forget your car seat if you'll be driving home!

• Baby bag and nursery essentials
• Ask any veteran parent, and they’ll agree you can never have too many burp cloths. Ours are made with soft, absorbent fabric in adorable prints, perfectly accessorizing any baby bag.
• Welcome to the stage of your life of having a pacifier on hand at all times. We personally love these eco-friendly silicone pacifiers paired with an adorable Chewable Charm pacifier clip.
• Stock your nursery with these Natemia Organic washcloths to make sure you’re ready for every mess.
• Even baby hair needs a little TLC! This gentle wooden brush set is perfect for that sweet head of newborn hair.
