Hi friends! Our little crew has grown, and we’re settling into life with baby Hayes. With Mason, 8, Addison, 5, and a newborn, this season feels extra full and extra sweet.
Those first weeks can hold so much at once: tiny snuggles, sleepy mornings, endless diaper changes, and getting to know a whole new little person. You don’t need every baby product out there, but a few thoughtfully chosen essentials can make the everyday moments a little easier.
That’s why I put together Ash’s Newborn Picks, a collection of newborn finds from Mason & Crew. Here are a few highlights, including a favorite we’ve been loving with Hayes.
Our on-the-go favorite: the Doona
The Doona+ Car Seat & Stroller & Base has been a favorite with Hayes. Going from car seat to stroller in seconds makes getting out the door with our crew a little easier. For this newborn season, that convenience means so much.
Sweet little outfits, simpler changes
The Lou Lou & Company Knotted Gown has a button-down front, fold-over wrist cuffs, and a tie bottom that makes diaper changes simple, without a row of snaps to fasten afterward. It’s a sweet pick for those early days when easy changes matter.
For a coming-home outfit or a thoughtful baby gift, the Magnetic Me Take Me Home Set brings the little details together. Its magnetic kimono-style top comes with footed pants and a matching hat for a coordinated newborn look.
Little helpers for everyday life
Burp cloths might not be the most exciting thing on a baby list, but they earn their spot. These Cotton Muslin Burp Cloths have four absorbent layers and a contoured shape for your shoulder. Keep a few wherever you tend to settle in with baby.
The Mushie Diaper Caddy keeps diapers, wipes, and changing essentials together. Removable dividers help organize the little things, while handles make it easy to carry from room to room.
For a gentle glow during nighttime feeds and changes, the Hatch Rest+ 2nd Gen combines a night light and sound machine in one. It’s another practical find in the collection.
And if you’re putting together a baby-shower gift, the Comotomo Baby Bottle Bundle includes two bottle sizes and a selection of nipple flow options - a useful addition to a feeding setup.
A little reminder for the newborn days
You don’t have to have everything figured out. Start with the basics, accept the help, and leave room to learn what works for your family. The shopping list can wait while you soak up a snuggle.
Whether you’re preparing for your own little one or choosing a gift, explore Ash’s Newborn Picks online or stop into our boutique. We’d love to help you find a few special things for this new chapter.

Ashley
