items I truly hope this lists helps some new mamas out there! As someone who struggled with PPA and PPD, I felt SO lost about what we needed and what was worth budgeting for. New moms get inundated with unwarranted advice and recommendations and it can be ...
My first response when someone asks for a new mom must have! This changer makes the inevitable diaper related messes SO SIMPLE AND EASY to clean up. Anything to make that situation easier is a win win IMO!
Keekaroo Peanut Baby Changer
Not sure what we would have done without our Hatch! The Bluetooth app option has saved us so many times and it's SO customizable (sound type brightness volume and alarm settings).
Hatch Sound Machine
The best softest most stretchy and comfortable baby wrap! I loved it most for contact naps in the early weeks and months of baby's life. They still want to be up against your skin and you feel calmest by the feeling of your baby and soft material up ...
Solly Baby Carrier Wrap
This honestly SAVED me with my second! It made the night feedings slightly less excruciating! Highly recommended, we wished we did it for the first!

Take one thing off of your plate and don't feel guilty about it! (me as a 2nd time mom to me as a 1st time mom)
Baby Brezza One Step Sterilizer and Dryer
All of my mom friends call this is top used item! Lots of our babies would prefer this spot for daytime naps and self soothing. I was also able to just replace the fabric covering to freshen it up for my second baby!

Perfect add on for the bouncer! Keeps baby occupied and teaches early fine motor skills. TIP The bouncer + toy make a wonderful baby shower gift!

Dream On Me Travel Bassinet
Beautiful and well-made bassinet. Can be used as a side sleeper or standard set up! Easy to move around and comfy for the babes!
Baby Delight Bassinet and Bedside Sleeper
Uppababy stroller system worked great for us! The smoothest stroller ride and easy to fold up. I got the white because I like taking risks like that :)

We added the ride along board to our Vista when my oldest got too tall and she LOVES it. It has turned into a whole new adventure with our stroller sisters!

I love this carrier for when baby grows a bit and for longer outtings! Sturdy and machine washable, our Ergo carrier held up for both of our babies!
Ergobaby Omni 360 Baby Carrier
Both of my babies loved this swaddle! Easy swaddling and great for transitioning to arms out! The bottom closes in seconds with an elastic band.
The Ollie Swaddle
The best of the best for your baby! Absolutely perfect a take home outfit and in the early days when you have to be careful of baby's belly button. The two-piece pjs are my favorite and will grow with your kiddos longer than other other brand!
Lou Lou & Company Newborn Bundle
I cannot rave about this blankets enough. Dubbed as the OG “Soft Blankie" by my daughter, she will not sleep without them. All of their swaddles are geat but the silk soft is specifically worth it!! The set of 3 comes in pretty packaging and makes fo...

My first born had WILD hair from day 1 and we were lost until we found Pipette hair products. (Really- my dad called her Pauly D for month). The shampoo and detangler combo will tame your babe's locks in no time. :)
