Must-Have Baby Gear
15
items Our most-used items from the first few months with our baby girl! We still use most of these even now that she's bigger (7 months) but some are meant for babies 3mo or younger.
We loved this for the bassinet stage with our baby- easy to set up and plenty of room for her to grow until it was time for the crib transition!
Baby Delight Dreamer Bassinet | Charcoal
Hot take: people told me I would not need a bottle warmer, but we use this almost daily not just for warming bottles, but also for sanitizing pump parts!
Chicco Digital Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer
It’s a classic for a reason! I don’t know what we do without our diaper genie keeping all the stink locked away 🥴
Playtex Diaper Genie Complete Pail, White
We love this as a sound machine & night light all in one and controllable from our phones!
Hatch Rest 2nd Gen Baby Sound Machine
This was the only carrier my baby liked to be in when she was smaller, and honestly it was my favorite because it’s so easy to use!
KeaBabies Baby Wrap Carrier - Terracotta
This zip swaddle made the transition from swaddling to a regular sleep sack SO seamless and easy
Love to Dream Swaddle Up Transition Swaddle
We have used this for tummy time since baby girl was a newborn and it is still perfect for each new developmental stage as she grows!
The Play Gym | Baby Activity & Tummy Time Mat | Lovevery
This is another play area we have been using since newborn tummy time and converts to a sit-up position she loves to play in now that she's over 6 months!
Fisher-Price Glow And Grow Kick & Play Piano Gym ... - Mattel
There are SO many strollers on the market, and we decided on this one for its flexibility, lightweight frame, and ease of use. I love that the stroller folds up quickly and the car seat can click right into the frame.
Modes™ Nest Travel System | Graco Baby
This pack n play has everything we needed to set up an additional napping & changing station on another floor of our house (separate from the nursery). Plus it has been so easy to use when traveling!
Graco Pack 'n Play Close2Baby Playard
I recommend a non-WiFi enabled baby monitor like this one that can't be hacked from the outside. This one is simple to use and has some nice features like temperature monitoring and a talkback feature.
VTech VM924 Pan-Tilt-Zoom Baby Monitor
This is the coolest and I never see it on other people's lists! I get compliments every time I take baby shopping in this. It saves so much room in the cart and is a comfy spot where she can look around at all the lights and colors in the store!
Binxy Baby Shopping Cart Hammock for Infants
I’m obviously a fan of anything that can grow with my baby and this high chair is no exception! We started using this recently when she could sit up on her own for safe baby-led weaning.
Skip Hop EON 4-In-1 Multi-Stage High Chair - Grey/White
Another great transitional product- we've been using this tub since baby's first bath at home and now she can sit up in it and I use it in the bathtub to keep her a little more contained during our splashing fun!
Skip Hop Moby Smart Sling 3-Stage Baby Bath Tub - Blue
We just went hiking at a national park and our osprey backpack made it so much easier! Our baby actually fell asleep and took a nice nap during our hike!
