Baby hair is incredibly thin, so you need a very specific type of brush that won’t break or pull the hair out. With such a sensitive scalp, any sharp or pointy tips can create irritation and discomfort. That translates to crying — and nobody likes babies crying. All the options in our collection are proven to take care of your baby like you would.

5 essentials you need for baby’s next bath

Mom giving her baby a bath

Bath time for little ones is an important task for parents. Besides the obvious reasons to bathe your baby -- i.e., cleaning their delicate skin from the day’s diaper disasters and feeding malfunctions -- giving them that vital one-on-one time can build and strengthen their bond with their child.

But what kind of products should parents consider when it comes to bathing? While this list isn’t all-inclusive, we've selected items and products based on practicality, comfort, and versatility. Feel free to take our suggestions and adjust them to fit into your own household, personalized just for you.

Make sure you have these 12 things before you give birth

You have a cute homecoming outfit for Baby all picked out, the chicest stroller money can buy set up and folded in your trunk, and a room full of half-put-together nursery furniture just waiting for Baby's big debut. You are ready -- well, sort of. The countdown to labor and delivery is on, and while your nesting instincts may be in overdrive, you'll also want to ensure that you are set up to successfully navigate the postpartum challenges ahead. Now is the appropriate time to scoop up the essentials you might want or need at the hospital and your home to ensure that the postpartum-recovery process is smooth and pain-free -- well, as much as possible.
While many soon-to-be moms talk about packing a suitcase for the hospital, we advise having three separate bags ready to go. You will want to have some favorite creature comforts to help you get through labor and delivery (lip balm, headphones, etc.), you'll need the basics for Baby, and, separately, you should have products for recovery within reach. While stocking all of these items is important, we are going to devote this must-have list to postpartum essentials for moms -- because we want you to know what to expect from your body once Baby is born and understand how you can prepare for any and all aches, pains, and potential scenarios.
So grab a pen and paper, and get your postpartum checklist started. You will want to make sure you have these 12 things before you give birth.

Disposable underwear and/or pads
If you've typed the question, "what supplies do I need after giving birth?" into a Google search bar, you are not alone by a long shot. And if you are surprised to learn that disposable underwear is at the tippy top of the must-have list, all we can say is: Welcome to the new moms' club!
Yes, disposable underwear are about as sexy as they sound. And, regardless of whether you have a vaginal birth or C-section, you'll be going through these paper panties rather speedily; believe it or not, you'll learn to love them. As your uterus contracts, you will bleed as if you are experiencing a heavy period. While the hospital will have some flimsy, disposable pairs on hand, we recommend finding an option that's a bit thicker, offers more absorbency, and features a higher waist in case you have a C-section incision scar to work around.

The funny thing is that no matter how much you try, you might not feel fully prepared when your child finally arrives. While there are key necessities that you should consider, there are so many other items as well that would come in handy for the baby or the nursery. So, we have provided some of the newborn-baby necessities to look out for as you go shopping for your bundle of joy.
Boppy Pillow for added support

Whether you’re nursing or bottle-feeding, this cushion adds a couple of inches of height to your lap, so you don’t have to slouch down while feeding your baby.
