Feeding
I was set on a natural-shaped nipple, and these worked really well. We tried to avoid plastic, so we used the nipples and lids on Philips Avent glass bottles which worked great. If plastic doesn’t bother you, these bottles are awesome.
Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles for Breastfeeding Babies, Formula Feeding, Breast Milk Storage - Slow Flow Nipples (Size 2S) - 5oz/3pk
These fit so well in any bag and are really versatile. If you have more than one, you can stack them as high as your bag will let you. We use the top for formula and the bottom for snacks.
Babymoov Babydose Formula Dispenser - Green
I loved these for my daughter when she started daycare. They are so much cuter and last longer than just writing their name on the bottle. And they are dishwasher safe which is a life saver!
Orbit Labels® - Personalized Bottle Name Labels | InchBug Labels
I have tried three different drying racks, and this one is by far the sturdiest and easiest to clean. Definitely worth the money!
Dr. Brown's Bottle Drying Tower
This saved us so many times on the go. It heats bottles fast, fits anywhere, and just makes life easier.
Baby Brezza Superfast Portable Bottle Warmer - Black
After trying so many bottles, this was one of only two my daughter would actually take. If you’re struggling with bottle refusal, these are the best if you are not a stickler for nipple shape.
Philips Avent 3pk Glass Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple - Clear - 8oz
Diaper Must Haves
We spent way too much money trying to find a diaper that works on sensitive skin and these have won every single time. I honestly like these more than Coterie and that’s saying a a lot.
Millie Moon Luxury Disposable Diapers - Size 1 - 108ct
My daughter has eczema and we have even tried prescription creams that did not work as well as this. It’s pricey but pretty much works over night. We use it for everything.
All Over Ointment Original
I’m bias because this is the first and only changing pad I’ve tried but it works great. It is so easy to clean and it keeps my daughter entertained so she doesn’t try to roll over everywhere.
Skip Hop Oat Changing Pad
Bath Essentials
This bath is great if you don’t have a ton of sink space to work with when baby is a newborn.
Angelcare Baby Bath Support - Gray
We used this along with the Frida comb but if you are boycotting Frida, we have also used the brush that comes with the cream and it works just as good. A comb will help tremendously though.
Cradle Cap Gel + Brush
I needed a bath pad quicker than what I could have ordered it for and this was amazing. I later bought one of the popular ones from Amazon and it started ripping the second week. I have had this one for almost a year and it still works great.
Skip Hop All in One Kneeler and Elbow Saver - Gray
Random Essentials
This is a great alternative to the Frida brand. We made the switch and we honestly like it even better because it lasts a lot longer. No need to refill it every night.
Vicks 3-in-1 Sleepy Time Humidifier with Nightlight, Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifiers for Bedroom - 0.6gal
This was perfect as a bedside cart and since my daughter moved to her crib it serves great as a diaper caddy. DO NOT get the plastic one- it is not worth it at all.
3 Tier Metal Utility Cart White - Brightroom™: Rolling Storage Trolley with Wheels, Powder-Coated Steel, 31.3" Height
We are outdoorsy people but love including our daughter so this has been very helpful. We take it everywhere and the battery lasts forever.
Itzy Ritzy Itzy Breeze 3-Speed Stroller Fan with Rechargeable Battery and Easy Attach Design - Tan Bear
We live this thing. I take it everywhere and we even use it at night in the place of the bedroom hatch alarm. A full battery will last 2 nights of constant running and then some into the day for a stroller walk.
Hatch Go Portable USB Sound Machine for Babies and Kids' - Putty
This is our favorite car seat. I know 360s are controversial but if you are thinking about it, do it. It saves your back so much. We started with a travel system car seat and it was such a pain, especially the stroller.
Joie Chili Spin SI Rotating 2-in-1 Convertible Car Seat - Mocha
