Diapering and Changing
These are finds that I recommend to all my mom friends who just want to make life easier.
A necessity for traveling when you need something to put dirty diapers in after those car diaper changes. And not to mention those awkward places with no available trash cans.

Millie Moon Luxury Disposable Diapers - Size 1 - 108ct
Because you’ll change diapers in literally every room. This saves your sanity during busy days and those middle of the night diaper changes. I also use them for bath and hair products so I can easily take everything I need with me during bath time.

Travel and on the Go Necessities
Items They Don’t Tell You That You Need On the Go
Super clear video so you can see exactly what and how your baby is doing in the back seat to keep a piece of mind. So much better than a traditional mirror in my opinion.
DoHonest Baby Car Camera HD 1080P Rear-Facing

I used these storage bottles to pour pumped milk in on the go.

Breastfeeding
I wish someone told me about this one sooner as a first time mom while learning how to properly breastfeed. I struggled for so many days trying to get it right until I found this. 1000% recommend.
