Items that are needed daily, my recommendations for diapers, wipes, etc.
Love these diapers! I personally like them better than the swaddlers because I feel they help keep my baby more dry in between diaper changes
Pampers® Baby-Dry™ Diapers
I’ve tried several wipe brands and these are hands down my favorite! I like that they have a fresh scent and they don’t dry out quick like the sensitive ones. My baby doesn’t have sensitive skin so these wipes work great for us.
Pampers Baby Wipes, Complete Clean Fresh
I love this car seat as a midrange option, we use the bassinet stroller daily inside the house for baby’s naps so it’s easy to take him everywhere I go.
Pivot Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat
Everything you will need for babies first few days of life and can use for months after.

One of my favorite products so far!

Move2Play 4-in-1 Baby Play Mat & Activity Gym
Sleeping 😴

I’m used to hot showers and baths so this gives me peace of mind that the water is not too hot especially because I shower with my baby. It has options for Fahrenheit or Celsius and it lights up yellow, green and red so you know what temperature is r...

Hooded Baby Bath Towel & Washcloth Set
Feeding 🍼
This is a great pump if you are trying to breastfeed! It helps empty you more and also helps with inverted nipples or is just a great option if you plan on exclusively pumping. I’d recommend the s1 a bit more since it has the ability to be mobile whe...
S2 Plus | Hospital Strength Breast Pump
Love these bottles, they’re great if you’re supplementing formula because they have a slow flow so baby doesn’t get confused by the difference between bottle and breast.
