Baby Gear
Mine has lasted me since my first baby in 2019 still using it in 2025 to make the kids smoothies.
NutriBullet Baby Food Prep System
Love this wrap for newborns especially. I’ve used it with 3 of my 4 babies.
Moby Classic Wrap Baby Carrier - Mist
We have lived in small apartments until recently and I like this swing and bouncer because it isn’t bulky and it is easy to move if needed. It’s also reasonably priced for a baby item I used for less than a year.
Graco Soothe n Sway LX Swing with Portable Bouncer - Derby
Diapers
After trying several diaper brands with 4 babies, there are my favorites.
My #1 diaper since my toddler was in size 2, affordable compared to other clean diaper companies. Cons…if on for too long (overnight) and the baby pees too much it may leak
Baby Diapers for Sensitive Skin
Love these diapers! These are truly leak proof (even overnight) and the new and improved ones are SO SOFT!
I use these for my baby and would switch my toddler to these if the size 4 were diapers and not “diaper pants” (aka: pull-ups)
LILLYDOO I Diapers for every adventure
Diaper Bags
I’ve used several diaper bags over the years—each one fit a different season of motherhood. From stylish and compact to roomy and practical, here are the bags I’ve actually carried and what I loved (and outgrew) about each one. If you’re trying to fi...
This was my very first diaper bag!!
I was and OVER packer as a first time mom. I even carried a tiny first aid kit for a baby that wasn’t even crawling yet 😅.
I loved this diaper bag because of how wide it opened and how much I could fit! There is...
Armbq Waterproof Multi-Function Diaper Bag
This bag was a splurge for my first Mother’s Day. I wanted something that didn’t scream diaper bag and this one isn’t only stylish, it could also be worn as a backpack, shoulder bag or crossbody. I used it mainly to go to church because to be honest,...
Stevie Full Backpack (Vegan)
This was also a splurge diaper bag I bought when I was pregnant with my second. The insulated bottom is what sold me. I used it most when I had 2 kids and when I was exclusively pumping with my 3rd. I still use when we have all day outings and I have...
Petunia Pickle Bottom Axis Insulated Backpack
This is my current diaper bag as a mom of 4 (ages 5, 3, 2 and 5 months as of July 2025). It is roomy! I fit a nursing cover, diapers and wipes, extra cloths and a water bottle for my toddler and myself in the outer bottle pockets. This diaper bag com...

Breastfeeding and Pumping
Here are the top 3 breastfeeding items I’d absolutely buy again. Want to see everything that helped me through 4 nursing journeys? Check out my breastfeeding and pumping must haves list.
These were a game changer during the early days of breastfeeding and establishing a milk supply. I would wear them at home and passively collect milk when my breast would randomly leak.
Their shape didn’t make them discreet so I didn’t use them whe...
Boon Trove Silicone Manual Breast Pump - Passive Milk Collector - Hands Free Breast Pump for Nursing - Breastfeeding Essentials - 1 Count
These are also a life saver in the early days of breastfeeding. I would wear these when going out (to Dr appointments etc) those early few weeks when my breast would just leak. They are so discreet, nobody could tell you had a “shield” on. The best p...
Elvie Catch Milk Collection Shells | Set of Two Discreet Leak-Protection Silicone Cups, Reuse Your Milk| Reusable Breast Shells Collect Up to 1oz | No More Wasted Milk or wasteful Breast Pads
This wearable pump was a game changer during my exclusive pumping days—it freed me from being tethered to the Spectra. I also tried the Elvie, but this pump (while not as quiet or discreet) gave me the same output as the Spectra, which is rare. And i...
MomMed Wearable Breast Pump S21 - Leak-Proof Design, Hands-Free Double Portable Electric Breast Pump with 9 Levels - 24mm Shield
