Before giving birth to my son last May, I admittedly had very little baby experience. So trust me when I say that the past nine months have been life-changing in more ways than one. I now know what it's like to consistently operate on minimal sleep, and which products will actually come in handy when caring for an infant. For instance, you probably don't need a full changing table and a separate changing pad, and (if you formula feed) bottle warmers waste precious time while your infant's screaming their head off - just get the Brezza! Amazon's Baby Sale feels like the perfect opportunity to impart some newfound wisdom as I transition from total newbie to semi-seasoned parent (only three more months until I have a 1-year-old)! With so many items available at a discount - including bodysuits, bouncers, snot suckers, food mixers and more - I've rounded up a handful of items that are actually worth ordering. Most of it is stuff I panic-purchased during 3 a.m. feedings, or added to my cart as recently as today (babies always need things). If I were to do it all over again, these picks would be at the top of my registry, and will likely come in handy for your little one, too. 14 Items Worth Grabbing From Amazon's Baby Sale, According to a New Mom 1. Outfit Essential: The first few months aren't terrible when it comes to drool, but once they start teething, oof - their outfits are soaked in a matter of minutes! I love a good bandana bib, which not only absorbs all that extra saliva but adds a fashionable spin to every outfit. This ten-pack delivers a variety of stylish colors - was $23, now $17! 2. The Best Bodysuits: Burt's Bees makes more than just hydrating lip balms - the same brand is responsible for my favorite baby bodysuits, which come in a pack of five. Made of 100% cotton, these one-pieces are extremely soft and super stretchy, which is extra helpful when your little one is between sizes - was $25, now $18! 3. Grandma-Approved: I don't know what it is about the older generation, but they're obsessed with socks on babies! While it's perfectly fine for your kid's feet to feel cool to the touch, it's worth keeping this pack of itty-bitty, cotton crew socks handy. The socks will calm Nonna's anxiety and, if anything, add a pop of color to your baby's outfit - was $13, now $8! 4. Naptime Must-Have: If you, like me, haven't been around many babies, you might ask, "Eh, do I really need the swing?" Yes. Yes, you do. With six different speeds and added vibration, the Graco Simple Sway Baby Swing magically soothes them to sleep during their fussiest moments, allowing you to get something - anything! - done (for at least 30 minutes) - was $150, now $120! 5. Sweet Seat: Months three and four were pretty tough for me, since - gah! - my baby was alert but unable to sit up on his own. Rather than holding him for extended periods (or forcing him to do even more torturous tummy time), we'd slip him into a Baby Delight bouncer, so he could chill by our feet as we cleaned, cooked or caught up on TV - was $100, now $60! Puffy Under-Eye Bags? This Eye Duo Plumps Fine Lines and Dark Circles 6. Beary Cute: One perk of having a baby is that you get to dress them like a tiny teddy bear. Not only do these Simple Joys by Carter's cardigans include an option with ears, but they also save you from having to slip yet another layer over their heads. They're coming in clutch during the current stage, when my baby would rather do a backflip than pop his head through a sweatshirt - was $28, now $18! 7. Magical Masher: After stressing about starting solids, I splurged on a gadget that steams and purees food - but I wish I had grabbed this Grownsy alternative instead, which does the same thing for under $75. Once you steam your fruit or veggies in a basket, you pour them into the blender part, mashing them to mush for your toothless baby. The whole process takes a matter of minutes, and, even better, this top-selling pick is easy to clean - was $80, now $70! 8. Snot Sucker: Will your little one hate getting their nose cleaned? Probably . . . but it's completely necessary, especially when they're stuffed up during cold season. MomCozy's Nasal Aspirator is hospital-grade, meaning it's super powerful and gets the job done in record time. It's a must-have if the goal is to keep the screaming to a minimum and your stress level low - was $55, now $44! 9. Baby's First Shower: Another item I wish I had early on? A tub that actually grows with your baby! Unlike options suitable only for newborns, the First Years Rain Shower Baby Spa Bathtub has a three-in-one design. There's an insert for infants, but after a few months, the sling can be removed, giving your toddler room to sit and splash around. Perhaps the best part is the handheld showerhead-brush combo, which gently sprays so you can safely rinse off all the soap - was $70, now $56! 10. Skin Saver: Unbeknownst to pre-parenthood me, babies get acne - and it's pretty tragic when nothing you do
