Must need baby items
30
items These are items we use everyday and can’t imagine life without them. Our baby either loves these, or I love them, or both of us love them!
My baby loves these pacifiers!
Ultra-light silicone pacifier
We have this in our living room. It’s amazing for changing our baby and then the portable bassinet is great for if we need him in there, or if we need to unclip it and be in another room and want him in that other room.
Baby Trend Nursery Travel Crib with Bassinet & Music Center, Robin
This is great for if you like a wrap, but don’t want to use a traditional one. The rings make it a lot easier to use.
Beige & Gold Baby Carrier Wrap, Adjustable
This is great for tummy time or playtime. Our baby is in love with all of the toys attached and it is such a cute mat!
Blissful Diary Oversize Leaf Baby Play Mat
These towels are nice and thick. I love them!
Yoofoss 2-Pack Hooded Baby Towels 32x32
Something so small, but something I’m so happy I have. My car no longer stinks when I can’t find a garbage can and I need to save the diaper until I get home. The bags smell great and mask the poop.
Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Bag Dispenser + 24 Bags
We tried a couple of diaper creams for rashes, but nothing seemed to work. We started using this after a recommendation and it works amazingly for our baby.
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment, 3oz (3 Pack)
We have two of these because we love them so much. No dirty diaper smell in our house.
Munchkin Step Diaper Pail w/ Arm & Hammer
If your baby likes warm milk, this is a life saver on the go. Warms up milk pretty quickly and is easy to use. You can also warm up water for formula too! It has both settings.
Momcozy Portable Milk Warmer - Dual Mode, 17oz
This is great for on the go! Has two ice packs inside that keep the milk cold for a while. We use this every time we are out of the house. I’ll bring this with me if I’m alone too and I need it for pumping to store my milk. It’s a life saver.
Momcozy 22oz Portable Breast Milk Cooler Green
I’m in love with our chair. We use it everyday and I lived in it during my maternity leave.
Ashley Tie-Breaker Swivel Glider Recliner
THIS!! Get the bottle washer. It has two tanks on the back, one for fresh water, one for the dirty water so you can put it anywhere on your counter. I use this 5 times a day for bottles and pump parts. It does need to be descaled so read that manual ...
Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro - Washer, Sterilizer & Dryer
Two words: BURP CLOTHS. They are super absorbent and large. We love these instead of the small see through burp cloths.
Gerber Prefold Premium 6-Ply Cloth Diapers, 5-Pack
We paired this with our chair. It does need to be filled, but we filled ours with old clothes and polyfill.
Thgonwid Handmade Faux Suede Pouf Ottoman 21.6x13 Brown
If you’re storing your breastmilk, I highly recommend this. We keep one in our deep freezer to ensure it’s staying cool enough.
MOCREO WiFi Thermometer Freezer Alarm
If you’re doing the pitcher method for pumping, highly recommend this. It’s good for formula mixing too!
Dr. Brown's Baby Formula Pitcher 36oz Black
We tried a few clips, this was the best so far.
Comfy Cubs 2 Pack Silicone Pacifier Clips
We only have one baby, but it’s nice for the future if we have a second. Right now we only have one camera plugged in and it’s just full screen.
2-Kids Baby Car Camera 6.9" Ultrawide HD
This is great for on the go, or we even use this at bedtime and keep it on through the night. They make a larger one that can be plugged in, but I like how small this one is.
Hatch Rest Go Portable Sound Machine for Kids
Greatest baby toy ever. Our baby loves listening to the music and watching it move around.
Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Crib Toy
This large case is great for diapers and wipes that you throw in your purse when you don’t feel like lugging around the diaper bag!
Large Hard Sided Zipper Pencil Case Clear - up&up™
This littler case is best for small items that you don’t want to get lost at the bottom of your bag. I use both the small and large cases.
Hard Sided Zipper Pencil Case Clear - up&up™: PET Material, 8.75" Width, 6.25" Depth, 2" Height, 0.109 lbs, Zipper Closure
At this stage in our baby’s life, we are loving the arms up swaddle and the Love to Dream which is linked in this list as well
SwaddleDesigns Transitional Swaddle Sack, 3-6M, Gray
This is another swaddle that we are currently loving!
Love to Dream Swaddle UP Baby Sleep Sack Gray
This swaddle was great when our baby was a newborn and liked his arms swaddled down!
HALO Disney Baby Finding Nemo Cotton Sleepsack
If you get the milk cooler, trust me, get the back up cups. I come home from work and the last thing I want to do is dump the milk into another cup so I can wash the only 2 I have.
Momcozy 10oz Wide-Neck Breast Milk Bottles 4PCS
These are nice and moist for baby when their noses start to run. We were using tissues, but it started to dry out baby’s skin. Use these with the Frida mom nose sucker to really get those boogies out!
Boogie Saline Nose Wipes for Baby & Kids, 30ct x3
Again, this is great for when baby is sick. We are currently using this mixed with the boogie wipes. Plug one nostril and suck in (in comes with filters!), making sure you give them time to breathe in between.
Frida Baby NoseFrida SnotSucker Nasal Aspirator
Another great product for when baby is sick. It doesn’t have such a harsh fragrance, but it helps baby breathe a little better.
Frida Baby No-Mess Vapor Rub for Chest, Neck, and Back - Soothing Eucalyptus & Lavender
I bought so many items when baby got sick, but they have all helped so much. The mask is a little big, but you hold it away from their face while they breathe the mist in.
Frida Baby NoseFrida Saline Mist Nasal Spray
