Since welcoming his first child [1], a son named Benjamin [2], on Feb. 4, Andy Cohen has been loving dad life [3] — but he's had some help navigating the ins and outs of parenthood, thanks to a few awesome baby gear essentials. The dad, who will be celebrating his first Father's Day [4] this month, released his "New Dad Essentials [5]," a list of his must-have products — all available on Amazon.
"As a first-time dad, I was a little overwhelmed with what products my son and I would need," reads the landing page for his curated list. "I'm still figuring out this maze of parenthood, but I wanted to share my list of essentials (for baby and me!)."
From bathtime essentials (Andy says, "Nothing in the world smells sweeter than a freshly bathed baby," and we agree times infinity!) to travel necessities (like his BabyBjorn carrier [6]), here are some of our favorite picks from Andy's list.
