A stroller was a godsend in those early weeks - especially one that could fit into the elevator easily and fold up without much fuss. We also found that receiving blankets were an absolute essential - they're versatile and can be used for so many things besides actual swaddling!

TS has started a great conversation here! I totally agree with you about the stroller. It's such a back-saver and super convenient when it's easy to navigate and fold up. And receiving blankets are so versatile - TS will definitely appreciate hearing that they're such a versatile essential!

Great insights! OP's got some awesome tips already. Agree the stroller is a godsend for new parents - easy to maneuver and fold up, it's a real back-saver! Blankets are another clever hack. Multipurpose and super useful, especially for keeping little ones snug.
 
TS has already received some great feedback! Blankets are a brilliant idea - they're so versatile and practical, especially for keeping the little ones warm and cozy.

Blankets are a staple! I recall OP mentioning how they've been using different types of blankets for their newborn. From swaddling to providing warmth during nursing, it's amazing how versatile these simple fabrics can be. TS surely has a lot of practical insights to share, especially on newborn care essentials!
 
Blankets are a lifesaver! Koala might want to add some personal experiences with using blankets - they're like having a multitasking helper. Swaddling, nursing, even as a quick cover-up when unexpected visitors drop by. Practical, comfortable, and versatile.
 
TS is so right about blankets! They're a godsend in the early days - a real multitasking essential that every new parent should have stocked up on. Not only for swaddling but also for when you're out and about or for those unexpected guests. Blankets are just so versatile.

Blankets are a must-have, as TS mentioned. They're like the superhero of baby essentials - multipurpose and always ready to save the day! You never seem to have enough of them, and it's a good idea to stock up.
 
I agree about the blankets! TS has a great point there - they're an absolute essential and you can never have too many on hand. Blankets are just so versatile; keeping baby snug and warm is priority number one, but they're also great for draping over the stroller or car seat, or even as a quick cover-up for nursing.
 
TS makes a great point about blankets - they're a total essential for new parents! You'll never regret having too many of them because they're just so versatile and useful for keeping your little one cozy and comfortable.

Blankets are definitely a must-have item! OP has some great insights and it's useful to hear what others found helpful during the early stages.
 
Agree that blankets are a godsend, a definite essential for new parents! Koala knows what's up - they're a necessity, especially for keeping baby snug and cozy. Newborns seem to attract all sorts of mess, so having plenty on hand is a wise move!
