Majority of my baby’s onesies are from Carter’s. Whether they are short sleeve or long sleeve zipper sleepers.
Baby Bodysuits
My girl loves sleep sacks! She never wanted her arms swaddled since the day she was born so these have been perfect! And the prints are cute to pick out a couple for your baby’s personality
Sleepsack® Wearable Blankets - Halo Sleep
These sleepers are phenomenal because they have a zipper both at the top and at the bottom, which makes nighttime changes super easy!
Baby Pajamas
Need hats for baby whether for Winter or Summer. Sun protection is so important because they can’t have sunscreen when they’re first born, and winter because obviously their bodies are not used to the cold when they’re so young!
Be prepared!
Baby Girl Hats & Beanies
Old Navy has a great selection of baby clothes, and they run sales all of the time! If you’re looking for seasonal or holiday clothing for babies and kids, definitely add Old Navy to your list!

Breastfeeding and Pumping
These are the best wearable pumps I’ve tried. My daughter is exclusively fed breastmilk at over four months old. I have sessions where I will get over 12 ounces total when using these pumps.
I like that I am not strapped to the wall, they are recharg...

I used these cookies when I was first breastfeeding to get my supply up, they definitely worked and tasted yummy too!

Baby girl has started rolling so I’m not comfortable leaving her just out and about on the floor. We have a dog and I don’t want her rolling off the rug etc. I love the piece of mind I get when putting her in the pack & play!
Pack 'n Play Playards & Playpens
Baby wearing saved my newborn journey! If you have an infant, or are pregnant - do yourself a favor and just get a wrap now. Not only do they help you get things done, but I wore baby in restaurants, on walks, etc, and it only strengthens the bond th...
Newborn Boba Baby Wrap Carriers
These are great to have as an option for fireworks or loud events, even if you don’t end up using them I recommend having them because every baby will react different to the sounds!

For all my pumping Mamas, if you’re pumping on the go, get these wipes to keep everything clean until you can get to a sink to fully wash

Need one for a peaceful sleep and knowing that baby is sleeping as well!
It was super important to me to have a non-wifi monitor based off of the horrible stories I have read.
Non Wi-Fi Baby Monitors | Video Monitoring & Best Picks
One of the items I was willing to splurge on for baby’s nursery. I have plans in having at least 1 more baby, so knowing it’s a one-time purchase and also it’s silicone so wipe able for any of the extra messy diaper changes!

Love a good floating shelf focus in baby’s room. They don’t clutter up the room and you can put ultrasounds, first memories, etc here - high enough that baby can’t touch!
Floating Wall Shelves - Wood, Metal, & More | Sizes 24"-48"

We are in the stage of creating purées for our baby and we have this set from Nutribullet. It makes creating homemade purée so easy. Going into this I knew I didn’t want to buy purées from the store, I wanted to be able to make it on my own. This ble...
The nutribullet Baby System for Quick & Fresh Baby Food
Not just a want…but a need! Make sure they have suction cups on the bottom so the bowls don’t go flying off of the high chair.

My baby loves her swing! She will sleep in it for over an hour sometimes and it gives me a chance to get little things done, even if it’s just making the bed!
Shop Baby Swings & Baby Jumpers
A must have for encouraging baby to enjoy tummy time. After we purchased one of these, tummy time changed for the better immediately!
Tummy Time Mirror
I showed this teether to my 5-month old in the store and she instantly smiled. It sits on my nightstand so whenever we need something in a pinch this is always accessible.
I love the different texture/grips for her and also the fact that she can hol...

My baby absolutely loves bubble baths and this has become a staple in our nighttime routine. The scent is definitely relaxing and helps her relax. She almost falls asleep immediately after this and her lotion. Will repurchase this over and over again...

We always use gentle/sensitive skin wash in our house, just to avoid any reactions. This has been the body wash we have used for the first 5 months of baths now. We had no negative reactions to it which is great!
