Some people get so grossed out with this but it comes with filters so you'll never suck your baby's snot into your mouth - unless you forget to add a new filter after washing it. Very easy to use and baby thinks it's funny. The suction bulbs given at...

I love the material of this wrap. Breathable and very stretchy, it's the best wrap to carry newborn baby close to your heart. It's a very long piece of fabric which will take some practice to learn how to wrap but once you get it down it's super conv...

We were gifted Dreft but our baby broke out in a rash. Apparently Dreft is toxic so I researched a non toxic formula and found this detergent to be EWG verified. Have not had a problem since and they have fragrance and fragrance free options.

Another great item from this brand & EWG verified as well. This dish soap lathers nicely but rinses off fully and doesn't leave a film which is perfect for washing baby bottles, pacifiers, pump parts etc.

I absolutely love this baby tub. It's especially helpful for c section mamas (no need to bend down) or if you only have a shower and no tub. This baby tub is also a changing table and has a storage section on the bottom to stock all your baby bath it...
