These are items we purchased or were gifted from the shower that have a pricier tag but I truly stand by! If you can swing any of these- highly recommend!
we used this everyday for the first full year. I love how interactive it is & useful for every stage of baby.
The Play Gym | Baby Activity & Tummy Time Mat | Lovevery
One of my favorite products gifted to me at my shower. Once my baby started being able to sit up and wanted to be attached to mom- this helped my back soooo much. We used this all the way till she was 2!
Baby and Toddler Hip Seat Carrier - Tushbaby
we love this- super lightweight, and lasted the first full 2 years- we love this car seat and definitely have no regrets about the splurge!!
Nuna PIPA™ rx Infant Car Seat | With Reclining RELX Base
easily one of our favorite purchases- We are a family that walks daily. having the bassinet attachment made nap walks so much easier. We used the stroller daily for about 2 years- still one of our favorites & will transition for our 2nd baby
Vista V2 Stroller - UPPAbaby
LOVE LOVE LOVE- once the baby moved to her own room, we got one for our room. Love that it is controlled by an app and has tons of settings.

as a first time mom, this helped my anxiety so much. Like insanely! saved it for our second baby as well.
FDA-cleared Dream Sock - Owlet Baby Monitor
We spend a lot of time outdoors- especially at the zoo. This wagon has been such a staple for the last year + and will continue to be.
the breathable part helped my first parent anxiety- but it did clean really easily as well worth the splurge- pro tip- check their site or Amazon for sales!

we used these for the first full year and I feel like they are easily one of the best on the market- they really hold the baby in and give the swaddle feeling with the Velcro straps! Plus 2 way zipper to make night time changes easier.
Limited Time Offer Sleepea ® 5-Second Baby Swaddle
bamboo pj's are the way to go. so breathable and stretchy, they really do last for longer than suggested!

we love this tubby Todd set + the formula is so nice for the baby skin!
