Amazing bedside bassinet for following safe sleep recommendations while keeping little one close. Slides close to the bed and swivels to make getting up easy.
Shop All - Baby Bassinets
For people who are too tired to figure out swaddling with a regular blanket. Very soft and easy to use. Cute patterns. Worth every cent.
HALO Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle, Baby Blue
Wonderful line for transitioning from bottles to sippy cups. The spout is made of silicone just like a regular nipple. The next step up has the same spout shape but is made from harder plastic.
NUK® Learner Cup, 5 oz, 2 Pack, 6+ Months
Second step of the nuk learner system. The spout is the same shape as the previous stage but made from harder plastic instead of silicone.
NUK Active Sippy Cup, 10oz, Assorted Colors
Everyone has an opinion about swings but this was our favorite for both kids. It sways smoothly in both directions (front to back as well as side to side which is a MUST feature since some babies strongly prefer one way). Also can be a bouncer to tak...
Graco Simple Sway 2-in-1 Swing & Bouncer
Classic for a reason. Light weight, rounded edges with a great supportive angle and strong safety clips. Survived multiple years outside!
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Snug and Secure Swing, High Back Swing, Blue
Make sure to check consumer reports for the most up to date crash test information. At the time this was one of the highest scores. Don't get trapped with the travel bundle options cause those sets can't be reported with consumer reports. Wonderful a...
Chicco KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat - Orion
We got an extra base for the second car to make moving between vehicles easy.
Chicco KeyFit 30 and KeyFit Infant Car Seat Base - Anthracite
Amazing cart that the keyfit infant seat just clicks into. Great amount of storage for a diaper bag or purse.
Chicco KeyFit Caddy Frame Stroller - Black
I know the concept sounds gross but this was an absolute lifesaver. The filter works great and not once did any snot get past. A stuffy infant is miserable and this gives effective control over suction to get it out. Much much more successful that an...
Frida Baby NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator
Cute entertainment center that kept both kids busy.
Skip Hop Baby Activity Center - 3-Stage
Super soft and cute tummy time gym
Skip Hop 3-in-1 Tummy Time Play Gym
Since other seat options can cause hip dysplasia this option that lets the hips move freely was best for us.
Fisher-Price Deluxe Kick & Play Floor Seat
Great space saving high chair that also grows with the child. Easy to clean!
Fisher-Price Baby to Toddler High Chair
Great travel play yard. No struggling to put it together.... Just hold the button on the legs and they drop open! The mattress sits directly on the ground. This was a big deal for us because our first was terrified by the slight vibrating of the bass...
Alfa Lite Lightweight Travel Playard - Midnight
Great doorway jumper. We liked the bumper feather to buffer from crazy jumps vs the door frame.
Graco® Bumper Jumper Doorway Jumper
This stroller offered everything from storage to a fully reclining seat. It was easy to fold and relatively light weight.
Chicco Bravo Quick-Fold Stroller - Black | Black
This was our step up stroller when having a new infant and toddler (who would want to get up and down).
Chicco Bravo For2 Double Stroller, Iron
Worth it. The only noise it makes is a very authentic human sounding "ssshhhhhh" that gets softer. It's a very drawn out sound just like if mama was doing it. You can set it for 15 or 30 min and adjust the volume. Put ours right to sleep.
Baby Shusher Portable White Noise Sound Machine
Super soft food grade silicone teether. The texture was very satisfying for our kids.
RaZbaby Bites Silicone Teething Toy, Red
Worked great as a teether and introduction to self feeding. The food grade silicone made me feel good about them chewing and the texture massages the sore gums.
RaZbaby RaZberry Spoon 2-Pack, Silicone
As you can see we loved this brand. Including the specific ones that we loved best because we tried almost every brand shape and texture imaginable. This works great for holding and offers two different size bump textures.
RaZbaby RaZberry Plus Baby Teether Green
Yet another set by raz baby. Offered three different textures and shapes and is easy for little hands to hold
RaZbaby Infant Massager & Teether 3-Pack
Once your baby is on solids this are great for grinding up frozen applesauce etc so it's still soft but cold. We like this brand because of the size as opposed to other similar ones. The kids didn't finish it too fast!
Boon Pulp Silicone Baby Fruit Feeder Set - 2 Count
#1 favorite in our house for when the molars came in. It was easy to hold and could reach those hard back spots without gagging.
Nuby Nananubs Banana Silicone Teether
Big fan of this brand. Holds up well to wear and washing. Also word to the wise.... Go zippers all the way! Sleep deprivation and snaps make for an incredibly frustrating change in the night.
Children's Place Baby Girl Toddler Cotton Zip Pajamas
Gerber is an oldie but a goodie. Another brand that held up and was incredibly soft.
Gerber Baby Boys 4 Pack Sleep 'N Play Footie
