Bath time 🛁
Babies have very sensitive skin, and paired with my husband having sensitive skin we can’t just use any baby products on our daughter. Our pediatrician recommended Aveeno Baby products and we love using them. They work so well on our daughter’s sensi...

Sleep
I had high anxiety before I was pregnant and postpartum has only amplified that anxiety. Due to that I knew immediately that I wanted an owlet sock to help ease my worries and allow me to actually sleep at night. I am so glad I got the owlet because ...
Dream Sock® – Owlet US
I prefer these over traditional swaddles. Mainly because my daughter would roll on to her side immediately after she was born and having her arms swaddled prevents her from pushing herself back and could be dangerous for her. When I swaddle her we ch...
Baby Sleepsack Swaddles - Halo Sleep
My favorite bassinet. While the legs can be in the way, the other features make it worth getting. The auto soothe feature is one of my favorites. My daughter is currently in a contact sleep only phase and I can smoothly transition her over to the bas...

Strollers/Travel Systems
I love the Nuna Demi Next. It is so easy to push that I can push with one hand and still have 100% control, I don’t have to use strength to keep the stroller straight. It is easily to set-up, fold, and switch out the car seat to toddler seat or bassi...
demi™ next + pipa™ urbn travel system
My family has 2 convertible car seats as we have 2 cars. The Graco turn2me is a great alternative to the Nuna Rava in my opinion. My daughter is comfortable in this seat, it’s easy to put her in and easy to clean. The only issues I had was installati...
Turn2Me™ 3-in-1 Rotating Car Seat | Graco Baby
This is one of two convertible car seats we use as we have two cars. My daughter is comfortable in both. This is easy to clean and it is easy to install. It took me about 15 minutes to install and that is mainly due to user error at first. Love the q...

Pacifiers
I’m not kidding when I say I’m 99% sure my daughter would trade me for these pacifiers. Mams are the only pacifiers she will take, and she somehow can tell when we give her a non-mams pacifier.

Tummy Time
So cute!!! My daughter loves watching the sea creatures move and falls asleep to the music.
Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Musical Crib Toy
My daughter loves the grow and glow. She is so enamored by the colors, music and everything dangling down.
Fisher-Price Glow & Grow Kick & Play Gym
Combo Feeding
My go to when I’m leaking milk. Allows me to capture as much milk as possible and prevents it from leaking through my shirt. Easy to clean too!
Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector 2.5 oz/75 ml
I had no idea what to get when it came to breastfeeding as a first time mom, but this kit helped so much.
Breastfeeding Survival Kit – Frida | The fuss stops here.
I LOVE these. The heat component helps bring out a better milk flow. My MIL said it almost acts like when a baby is up against your chest, you feel their warmth and it helps milk flow. These have powerful suction. These are my go to wearable pumps.
eufy Wearable Breast Pump S1 Pro | Hospital-Grade
Bottles
I prefer the doctor brown bottles as I like how the internal tubing helps control the milk flow. My daughter has a tendency to take on too much milk, this helps prevent her from overwhelming herself with milk.

Baby Cleaning Products
Love, love, love! The baby brezza makes it so easy to stay on top of washing bottles. I can pick if I want a long wash with a dry and sterilization, just a quick wash, just a dry, a dry and a sterilization, just sterilizing, or a wash and a dry sessi...

Carriers
I love that this carrier is more structured. It is so easy to set up and it has instructions on the carrier. I feel at ease having my baby in this carrier. I love baby wearing with the Ergo baby and after getting one ergo baby embrace, I bought more.

Swings
10/10 for soothing my daughter. We also like that we can connect our phone to the mamaroo and play our own music (usually lullaby versions of songs). We travelled once without the mamaroo and well we will definitely bring it from now on.

My average Tuesday is now texting my family “look at what I sucked out of baby girl’s nose!” I was shocked at how well this works. Make sure to use saline first to help loosen the boogies!
NoseFrida the SnotSucker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Great for if you don’t like the idea of manually sucking snot and boogers out of your baby’s nose.

Nursery
My daughter’s nursery is a place I spend a lot of time in whether it’s playing with her, organizing her toys or clothes, checking on her, or the occasional redecorating that I’ve done. I want it to be a safe space for her.
This rug is adorable and really pulls the room together. I do wish it was a bit thicker but I have no complaints.
Pink Nursery Rug for Baby Girl 5x7 Blush
I love this when utilizing space. My daughter’s room isn’t that big and I like to use as much air and wall space as possible to make her room more functional. The net holds a lot of weight and I’ve stored over 20 stuffed animals.
Stuffed Animal Storage Hammock Net Corner
I’ll be honest, there are cheaper curtains and this can probably be DIY-ed. However when I was 8 months pregnant I was not about to start another craft so I bought these and they’re great. They help pull the room together.
Custom Jawara Linen Cotton Tie Top Bow Curtains | TWOPAGES
Were these a need? No. However, they were a big one and I love how they look on the dresser and armoire that we have in baby girl’s room.
Perilla Home Set of 6 Brass Bow Knobs
I’m not ashamed to say I’ve fallen asleep in this chair several times. Especially now that my daughter is sleeping in a crib and her nursery, I’m constantly in the rocking chair.
Nursery Seating: Gliders, Rockers & Recliners - Babyletto
My daughter is not old enough to use it now, but this is so cute and I’m so excited for when she’s able to use it.
