With each passing year there are new products and resources available for parents expecting and with a newborn.

Things have definitely changed since I was last pregnant, and so I wanted to create some resources for you with recommendations from my current newborn and maternity clients who are in the thick of parenting young babies and children.

I wanted to give expecting and newborn parents a resource list recommended by my Portland Oregon area clients from the last year.

(And, if you have any recommendations to share, feel free to add them in the comments!)

All of the recommendations included in this list came directly from my current clients!

Maternity Clothes

One client mentioned it’s hard to find local maternity clothing shops, but had this tip: “I bought everything at Old Navy online but I returned a bunch too. There’s a trick though… if you go to old navy you can find a bunch of maternity clothes in their clearance section which are clothes that were returned from online shopping. I was able to find an amazing shirt and only paid a penny for it!”
