The instruction manual to having a baby. Because nobody tells you what you actually need. Plenty of tips and notes to tell you exactly how many to buy too!
We used this bassinet for the first year of each of our children’s lives. Saved us, as our first child (3 days old) decided to roll over in the night. We woke up to her face down and she otherwise would have suffocated but luckily this bassinet is ex...
Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper

Graco Slim Spaces Compact Baby Swing - Reign
The BEST baby bath! Because it is a blow up, you can compress it when not in use for travel or storing away if you don’t have a ton of space! You can use it in a tub or on a waterproof surface as it can hold a bit of water in the middle! The flaps cr...
