Bath Time
My son loves baths and has from day one but I think it was really how we started our bath routine. Here are some of my must haves for a successful bath whether your babe loves them or not.
The best baby wash! Love the light scent and how soft my son's skin was after his bath. I was very impressed that he didn't carry the scent like a perfume. I really love that natural newborn smell.
Cetaphil Baby Wash & Shampoo, 13.5oz, Pack of 2
This little grooming kit was super helpful. I still use the nail clippers and my son is almost 2. It's helpful to have another thermometer on hand even though you could absolutely use this as your baby thermometer. I used the toothbrush to help with ...
Safety 1st Deluxe Healthcare & Grooming Kit
In the first month or so I took a bath with my son. You can totally do that if you are comfortable. If not, this is a wonderful option. It grows with them over time and comes with a few handy extras.
Fisher-Price 4-In-1 Sling 'N Seat Tub
You can use your own bath towels on your baby. They grow so fast and so many of those towels are more like a hand towel depending on how big your baby is. These washcloths are a must though. They are so soft and everyone always asks me about them. I ...
Baby Washcloths
This daily lotion was nice to put on him when I would change his clothes or when I would do a little baby massage at night. I didn't start daily baths until he was around 6-8 months but I did start a bedtime routine early and part of that was a relax...
Cetaphil Baby Eczema Soothing Lotion, 10 oz
On the go go go
Being a busy working mom had me looking for things that are convenient, reliable, and really affordable. These items were either in my diaper bag or my car to help get all the jobs done all the time.
I really wanted to be able to breastfeed my son and these were such a huge help. Whether I needed to do some housework or when I returned to the office they were so nice and reliable. Most of the time I could use them for 4-5 pump sessions before cha...
Amazon.com: TSRETE Breast Pump, Wearable ...
Super easy wipe container for the diaper bag with a handy strap for the stroller. Also slim enough to throw in a purse if needed.
OXO Tot On-The-Go Wipes Dispenser- Gray
Everyone seemed to love this and I have to admit so did I. Do not wait to buy this if you think you might try breastfeeding. It was really helpful at all stages but especially in the beginning when you have a “milk drunk” newborn who only eats on one...
Haakaa Gen 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction
When I tell you I still use this bag there's no lie. I just got back from vacation and had used this to pack my son for a long weekend. It has so many helpful compartments and came with a few extras that were great like the changing pad and pacifier ...
RUVALINO Diaper Bag Backpack, Multifunction
This was a great hand me down from my sister's friend. I wasn't sure that I was going to use it because I had already purchased a wrap that I thought was amazing. Well this one quickly became my favorite. And my husbands! It looks a little intimidati...
Omni Collection - Breeze, Dream, 360
We originally purchased a different stroller and car seat combo but then we were in an accident. We had to purchase a new car seat and I was not a fan of our stroller that I really fell in love with on the buybuybaby showroom floor. In comes this tra...
Pivot Modular Travel System with LiteMax Car Seat
We were traveling to DC recently and needed something that wasn't going to make us stand out like the awful tourists that we are. This stroller can set up and break down with one hand and is very compact. It also has 360 swivel wheels which makes get...
