These pumps are amazing - not having to be attached to a cord, plugged into a wall makes things so much easier. I was able to do laundry, make dinner, drive to work, or even take the dog for a walk while pumping. Simple to use, they are strong and wo...

I used these pump bras with wearable pumps and with plug-in ones, it worked great for both!

I had these after my csection and it made my recovery easier; no bands rubbing up against my incision, they were comfortable and stretchy.

This sound machine is a nightly essential and is so easy to use. It turns on or off with a single tap, and there is an app which allows you to control via your phone - meaning you don't need to go in and disturb a sleeping baby. There are various dif...

Very comfy pyjama set - works well for pregnancy and post-partum. It has the flaps that lift up for nursing, but is discreet enough so it's not obvious.

This product gave me so much peace of mind. It's a small 'sock' that you put on your baby's foot and it tracks their oxygen levels and their heart rate. There's an app for your phone, and you can see all of their numbers in real time. You'll receive ...
Owlet Dream Sock® - FDA-Cleared Baby Monitor

One of the main reasons we chose this is because it's a non-wifi baby monitor, meaning no concerns of it being hacked, and it will work even if you're staying somewhere without wifi such as a cottage or lake-house. The 2 camera feature is great; if ...

We just switched to this monitor and I'm obsessed. Amazing battery life, split screen or single screen option. Scan mode allows for swapping between cameras. I love it.

My favourite stroller. The seats convert into a bassinet - no separate attachments needed! Plus, the bottom easily flips outward and you can attach a second seat/car seat. Converting into a double stroller without adapters? Genius!

This rotating car-seat makes road trips so much easier. The rotating feature makes lifting the kids into their seats so much easier, and puts way less pressure on my back. They can be read or front facing, so they will last for many years to come!

I love products that grow with your kids and last through multiple stages. This high chair turns into a booster seat or a toddler chair and table. Great product!

This is an absolute go-to product for us. It's handy any time of day, but is a lifesaver in the middle of the night. With a press of a few buttons, a perfect-temperature bottle is ready in seconds. It's like a Keurig for bottles. A MUST for anyone fe...

This drying rack worked great for us, lots of space for bottles and nipples, but doesn't take up too much space on the counter.

We used this for both of our kids. We used the travel bassinet for about 3-4 months for each of them, and then used the raised bassinet in the playard for another month or two before moving to a crib. The playard is great for sleep when traveling, o...

We loved using velcro swaddles when our babies were young. It helped reduce the startle reflex, and the snug fit makes baby feel cozy and comforted for a better sleep. They are versatile and allow for the baby to sleep with their arms in or out of th...

Such a great playmat, perfect for play time and tummy time. Easy to assemble, machine-washable too. Both our kids would fall asleep on this when they were babies, it was soft enough for having a quick nap too :)

Both our kids loved this baby bouncer. It worked great if they were fussy, we'd set them in there and turn the bouncer on, it helped to calm them immediately. Also great for if you need to do a bit of housework or need to be hands-free; place baby in...

This was such a great help for our newborn, and it's great that it converts from the swing to the rocker. It was essential in helping to calm the baby when crying or when he/she can't settle.
