As a mama of four, I have been through this whole baby gear thing enough times to know there is just a whole lot of stuff I find I don't really need.

I am due in a week with baby number five, so it's about time to round up a few supplies.

By now, I know what I like and what I need. 

Here is my baby checklist.

CLOTHING

Read my reasoning for choosing organic baby clothing in this article: https://wellnessmama.com/76913/organi...

There's a reason they're a baby staple. Onesies are comfortable and versatile.  Summer babies can get by with onesies alone.  For winter babies, they add extra warmth under a lightweight sleeper.

I found these organic onesies from Burt's Bees Baby's bee essentials line.

By baby number three or four, I was skipping the cutesie clothes entirely.  Baby spends all his/her time in my wrap anyway.  Sleepers are easy, comfy and no fuss. I only buy ones with footies, because baby socks always fall off.

I found these organic sleepers from Burts Bees Baby. They are so soft and look easy to put on.  They will certainly be a staple in baby number five's wardrobe.

I also snagged up these organic zippered sleepers.

Maybe I will start putting baby in some cute outfits next summer when he/she actually makes it out of my wrap a little!

BEDDING

Muslin swaddle blankets are something I just discovered the fourth time around.  I can't believe I ever lived without them.  Regular swaddle blankets are always to small to get a good swaddle.  Muslin swaddle blankets are lightweight, slightly stretchy and large.

I use them as an all purpose piece in the diaper bag- nursing cover, spit rag, blanket...

With my last baby I made a whole bunch of them with cotton gauze.  I am planning to do a little tutorial on that soon.

Although this is under the bedding category, I only use a heavy blanket for keeping baby warm when we are out and about.  I don't give my babies a cover in their own beds until they are over two, for safety reasons.

For this collection, I chose this beautiful gray cable knit stroller blanket.  Perfect for my winter baby!

This is all baby needs in their crib until they are about two.  I like to keep two, so I can put one on while I am washing the other.

I found these organic cotton fitted crib sheets from Burt's Bees Baby

GEAR

There is a reason this is first on the gear list!  For the first six months (other than the carseat), this is the only gear I need...
