Being a new parent is exciting, but also exhausting and hard work. Luckily there's a bunch of great products that can help make the job a bit easier.

Emily Richett of Richett Media shares some of her favorite baby hacks:

Mint and Arrows Swaddle Sack

This product takes all the work out of swaddling, just put it on like a sock! It comes in a variety of prints for boys and girls with matching headbands or beanies.

Dockatot

This bed is a safe, snug place for your baby to rest, play, or just hang out. It's also washable, so you can take it anywhere with you! It's a perfect transition into a real bed.

Native Wilds Nest

The Nest is a car seat cover, shopping cart cover, swaddle and nursing scarf all in one. It's made in the U.S. from natural, eco-friendly materials, so it's breathable, soft, hypoallergenic and antibacterial.

Magic Sleep Suit

It can be hard getting your baby to sleep. The Magic Sleep Suit is for for when your baby has grown out of swaddles but still needs that snug feeling to sleep well. The layers of soft material help keep the baby feeling secure and muffles startle reflexes that usually wake them up.

Binxy Baby

Here's a hack for when you go grocery shopping with the baby. It's a cool hammock that hangs on the larger part of your shopping cart! So instead of placing a car seat inside the cart, taking up all the space where groceries go, the baby will lay low just above the groceries.

Solly Baby Wraps

Keep your baby close and snuggled and free your hands! The Solly Baby Wrap ties around your body and holds your baby tight to your chest, making traveling and doing simple tasks much easier.

Fawn Designs Diaper Bag

It's a diaper bag, but it doesn't look like a diaper bag. These bags are made with vegan leather inside and out so you can easily turn it inside out, get rid of the mess, and wipe it clean. It doesn't hurt that it looks stylish too!
