Pregnancy Apps 🤰
Pregnancy apps/Baby registry apps
One of my favorites. Super easy to make a baby registry with something from every category to choose from so you don’t forget. Pregnancy brain is no joke when it comes to forgetting things & this app has it all to help you through it.
Babylist
Loved this while pregnant. I don’t really look at it or use this app anymore though.
Ovia for Fertility, Pregnancy, and Parenting
I used the heck out of this app when pregnant. It helped me learn so much while pregnant!
What to Expect's Pregnancy & Baby App
This is such a cute app to track your pregnancy. I had several and this was one of my top 5
HiMommy Pregnancy Tracker App
Baby Bottles 🍼
Bottles/Formula 🍼
Super good for a nice deep latch! I will say though, these nipple flows are a tad bit fast. Overall, these are awesome and also very affordable! My baby prefers these over Dr.Browns and spit up less with these as well. She was strictly Dr.Browns the ...
Balance + Wide Neck, Plastic Baby Bottles
These bottles were the first ones I used for my daughter. She did well with these but around 3-4 months her latch was not great. Every time she ate I would hear a clicking sound indicating her latch was no good. They were great the first few months b...
Dr. Brown's - Happy feeding™
This formula is the one my baby has been on since she was born. She does well with this, but the SPIT UP is absolutely nuts 😅
Nutramigen with Probiotic LGG Powder Infant Formula 12.6 oz
Baby did okay with this, but definitely gassy and more irritable. I have a lactose allergy, so I assume that’s why the hospital used nutramigen for her. She seemed to like the taste better than nutramigen, but it didn’t sit too well with her gut.
Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive Infant Formula Powder 20.1 oz Tub
Tried this bc I thought since I have a lactose allergy that maybe my little one couldn’t tolerate cows milk but maybe she could goat milk… long story short, she couldn’t lol still have this can sitting on my counter from like 3 months ago.

Diapers 💩
Diapers AND Wipes I have tried for my baby. Honest reviews ONLY! :)
My baby was a pampers swaddlers baby until about 3-4 months when she kept getting rashes like crazy. We tried SO many different types of diapers, and when we FINALLY came across Kudos Diapers, her rashes have completely went away! I will say, these h...
Kudos Diapers (TCF)
Soooo, I loved these diapers so much. I switched to these but unfortunately they did not do well with my daughter’s sensitive skin. I will say, her rashes were not as bad, but they were still there. I loved everything about these diapers. I don’t thi...
Rascals
I really liked these when my daughter was a newborn. Definitely worked when she was little little. However, when I tried them on her around 3-4 months they gave her rashes and the blowouts were not good lol.
Luvs Diapers
Never liked Huggies, (you’re either pampers or Huggies lol 😆) but I got some of these for free and tried them. They gave my baby really bad rashes and the blowouts were horrendous 😩 I really wanted to like these. Some people do, but they’re not for...
Huggies® Snug & Dry™ Diapers
Tried these when daughter was a newborn. I will say they definitely worked. Rarely had any blowouts! They were a little thin/cheap feeling if I’m being honest. Some people really love these especially for the price! They’re VERY affordable!! I wanted...
Parent's Choice Diapers (WalMart brand diapers)
LOVE LOVE LOVE these! However, they started giving my daughter extremely bad rashes so I had to find something else. If her skin wasn’t so sensitive we would definitely still be using these! Also, love how they have a rewards app :)
Pampers® Swaddlers™ Diapers
Got these not realizing they were like pull-ups for babies lol 😂🤦♀️ anywhooo, they actually work super well. I did like these in some ways but they had a few faults. I think it’s just easier to change an actual diaper. But these did a very good jo...
Pampers® Cruisers 360° Pants
These were okay I guess. If I’m being totally honest, I didn’t like them. I’m definitely a pampers mom lol. These just had too many blowouts 😩 I will say they did feel super soft though!
Huggies® Little Snugglers® Diapers
So these were the BEST bang for your buck! These did so well on my daughter’s sensitive skin. We later switched to water wipes bc she kept getting rashes. I believe it had nothing to do with her wipes but everything to do with her diaper! May look in...
Parent's Choice Sensitive Plus Baby Wipes
So there are two different kinds of water wipes I have found. There are the thicker kind with a W printed in them which work so so well. I believe those are the sensitive/newborn water wipes. The regular water wipes remind me of pampers pure wipes, t...
WaterWipes Plastic-Free Original Baby Wipes
Got these free through Medicaid insurance. (Aetna Better Health) these were not bad, but I got size 1 and they ran a little small I think. Or maybe I just needed to size up lol. But if you have Medicaid and haven’t called your insurance you get 300 f...
Cuties Diapers
These are SO soft! I purchased the free sample (only paid $6 maybe less for shipping) for an 8 pack of diapers. They are on the thin side but man oh man these may be the softest diapers I’ve ever felt in my life! Love the convenience of the daily pac...
Alppi Baby
These are pretty good. However, they feel a little rough especially for super sensitive baby booties.
Pampers® Aqua Pure Wipes
These rip super easy just pulling them out of the pack 😩 not the best..
Baby Wipes | Huggies® US
These are the sensitive+ newborn water wipes. They’re thicker than the original water wipes and work better for us. They’re thicker than don’t tear as easily as the original water wipes either :)
WaterWipes Plastic-Free Original Baby Wipes, 99.9% Water Based ...
Tried these after using Kudos. Kudos was really good but the cotton would stick to my baby’s butt so I tried these and the cotton doesn’t stick near as bad! Very similar to Kudos in price and how they’re made, but I really like the designs in these d...

Baby Gear
AFFORDABLE Baby Gear
The car seat I used for my daughter for 6 months. Well worth the price. Very Affordable! Affordability was one of the top things along with safety and comfort.
EZ-Lift™ PRO Infant Car Seat - Lightweight, Ergonomic Handle
A must have when your baby is learning to crawl. So they aren’t on a dirty floor or carpet. Also very affordable and easy to pack up and put away without taking up too much space :)
Foldable Soft Foam Mat - Infantino
I bought the first one (pink) for my daughter. You can even remove the play bar and put snacks for your baby to learn how to grasp and feed themselves. Very affordable and practical and it’s not super huge or heavy! They have a few different patterns...
Baby Trend Walker
This is the swing my baby used until about a month or two ago. She really liked it. It does have a pretty big foot print but it’s super easy to use and my daughter enjoyed it. Still have it in case I have another baby within the next few years
Ingenuity InLighten Baby Swing - Cool Mesh
This was gifted to me and when my daughter outgrew her infant car seat I was hesitant to use this for whatever reason. Now that she uses this, I love it, she loves it. Everyone loves this. Still looking for a more up to date one, as I have an older o...
Grow and Go™ All-in-One Convertible Car Seat - Safety 1st
Breastfeeding/Pumps
Gosh I loved these so much. But the motors died on my like 2-3 months in so that really sucked.
Wearable Breast Pump
This was gifted to me (used) and it was a lifesaver when my discreet duo motors crashed. The suction is great, but like most of these types of pumps, the cords and having to hold the cups without a pumping bra is definitely difficult when you have a ...
Comfortable and Convenient Breast Pumps for Nursing Mom's
This emptied me very quickly and efficiently at first. I changed the valve cover thing and it still worked okay but I feel it lost the suction it once had at the beginning.
Harmony™ Manual Breast Pump
I liked the peach mango and fruit punch. Definitely feel it hydrated me since I suck at drinking water lol. Strawberry banana was okay too!
Home | BODYARMOR Sports Drink | Superior Hydration
Please get a comfy nursing bra. They’re super convenient and you can use these instead of a pumping bra.

Bath Time! 🫧 🛁 🫧
Have used this exact wash/shampoo since baby girl was born and LOVE IT! It smells SO good and doesn’t dry her skin out.
Aveeno Baby Shampoo & Body Wash Gentle, Tear Free with Oat Ingredients
Have used this since my daughter was born and it isn’t greasy feeling which was a huge plus. It also smells so good. This bottle (the pump bottle) has lasted me about 5 months! Great bang for your buck!
Baby Daily Moisture Fragrance-Free Lotion
Not super expensive. Does get heavy once you fill it with water, but it has a drain plug at the bottom for easy draining! Have used this since she was a newborn, which was a life saver bc she would get slippery with the soap and it would make me so n...
Hopscotch Lane Newborn to Toddler Bath Tub
Super helpful if you don’t have a shower head that you can move, especially when you don’t give your baby a bath in the actual bath tub! I think it’s pretty nifty 😅
Yookidoo Baby Bath Shower Head Elephant Pump
No dyes which is nice. Work well for getting in baby’s creases and crannies lol
Gerber 6-Pack White Terry Washcloths
Honestly any hooded baby towels will do! I wouldn’t spend a bunch of money on these tbh. Just depends on the type of material you/your baby will like or want. :)
Bath & Hooded Towels: Baby Products
Definitely need one of these! Our adult skin is more acclimated to the heat of water. Babies can easily get burned by water that’s too hot! These are super helpful so you aren’t guessing, and they’re super cute too!
Baby Bath Thermometer
Honestly I used a household cup, wouldn’t spend money on one of these. If you feel it’s necessary then by all means, go for it! I’d prefer the elephant sprayer over one of these if I had to choose.
Baby Bath Rinse Cup
Wouldn’t spend money on a ‘silicone baby hair brush’ when these are the exact same and cost less! But these are a definite need if your baby has a dry scalp or cradle cap!
Silicone Face Brush
Definitely need for cradle cap/dry skin or scalp!
Baby Hair Brush
Makes baby’s skin super soft! Love this stuff! Helps soothe baby’s diaper rash and dry skin. Very helpful! Smells good too :)
Baby Eczema Therapy Soothing Bath Treatment
