Best baby bits
This tush baby has literally saved my back. My baby is and almost 25 pounds. I don't think I would've made it without my Tushbaby!
Baby and Toddler Hip Seat Carrier: Tushbaby
We loved our Snoo - it helped us get extra sleep in the fourth trimester that was desperately needed. Highly recommend!
Happiest Baby
This was so helpful while baby was small. Helped calm her before bedtime or supported with midnight activity that would encourage more snoozes. Our baby never slept in this but it did help calm her.
DuetConnect™ LX Swing and Bouncer | Graco Baby
Our go-to for all things skin with baby. Literally kept rashes at bay (we've never dealt with diaper rash, I think because of Tubby Todd all over ointment!).
Tubby Todd Bath Co.
this lotion is the stuff dreams are made of. It keeps rashes at bay and helped us avoid any baby acne or weird flare ups early on. We also use the diaper rash cream, sort of preventatively, and also love their baby shampoo, body wash and bubble baths...

Truly love our Nuna car seat. It has been easy to adjust as Baby grows, and she seems super comfy in it. It is also easy to install so much so that my husband and I both got bases so you can snap out the seat and go in either one of our cars.

Legendairy Milk Sunflower Lecithin 1200mg

Had a horrible time with serious owies at the start of my BFing journey, but these nipple shields helped immensely.
Contact Nipple Shields - Medela
This stuff was a life saver when my new to BFing nips were chapped and painful! Bonus – works great as a lip balm, too!
Lanolin Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding Moms | Lansinoh
Also loved this all natural nipple balm for those chappy nips! All the treats for the mama whose body is nourishing new baby!
