Nights with a newborn can feel like an eternity. This list contains items that helped make my life easier while surviving middle of the night feeds.
I loved having this to read during mid-night feeds, I preferred the paper white over a phone screen because it was less stimulating and I found it easier to fall back asleep. Was easy to use 1 handed too!
Nook Tablet
Holds plenty of water and keeps it cold for middle of the night hydration.
Owala 40oz Stainless Steel Tumbler With Handle
Super helpful to have a comfy and supportive chair to prevent back and neck pain.
Nursery Rocking Chair
Loved to have a stool for my feet to improve nursing position . Can be used by baby in the bathroom when they are older!
Wooden Foot Stools
For nursing I preferred a memory bed pillow over nursing pillows - I felt I was able to support baby better and had less back pain.
Memory Foam : Bed Pillows
Easy to put on/take off. All 3 of my babies have loved these! Transition version available as baby grows.
Stage 1: Newborn & Swaddling - Love to dream
Grab a few! Helps protect area during diaper changes. And in case of a mid-change pee clean up is quick and easy!

Cloud Island : Baby Mittens & Gloves
With these middle of the night diaper changes are a breeze

A sweet treat with protein to help satisfy middle of the night hunger.
