Feeding
We are doing Baby Led Weaning, but I am not against an occasional good pouch, and these little topper spouts are great! They control the flow of the puree so that it doesn’t spill everywhere, and are soft silicone so that my teething girlie can gnaw ...
ChooMee SoftSip Food Pouch Top for Babies
Initially, Salem had some issues with learning to drink through a straw— she just wanted to chew on it. After doing some research, I decided to give this cup a try, and I’m glad I did! Within a few days, she was drinking out of not only this cup, but...
The Original Honey Bear with Flexible Straw - TalkTools
These bowls are the perfect size for snack time, and the suction makes them great for baby led weaning!
Stay Put Suction Bowls, 3pk - Munchkin
I love these jars for prepping Salem’s meals and snacks for the week. They are also freezer and microwave safe, which is a huge plus!
VITEVER 24-Pack 4 oz Glass Baby Food Containers
This pitcher was a game changer! In the earlier months, when Salem was taking a bottle every 2-3 hours, and had to have fortified formula, we would prep all the formula for the day in the morning. Before switching to this pitcher, we would always sti...
Dr. Brown's® Formula Mixing Pitcher
We found out at around 2 months that Salem has a dairy allergy. After switching to this formula, all of her stomach issues disappeared!
Neocate Syneo Infant | Amino Acid-Based Baby Formula
These are the perfect size for tiny hands and mouths!
Gentle Silicone Spoons, 2pk - Munchkin
We started out using a different brand of bottle because it was what the NICU used, but they had SOOOO many tiny individual parts to clean, plus constantly leaked everywhere! We made the switch to Philips Avent and I’m so happy we did! Way less time ...
Natural Response & Anti-colic Baby Bottles | Philips Avent
Diapering
We love Hello Bello diapers! After having a reaction to several other brands, we finally tried these and haven’t looked back. Plus, fact that you can choose from a bunch of cute designs is awesome!
Diapers | Hello Bello
The BEST diaper cream! My mom used it on me as a baby, and after trying several other brands, I finally gave it a shot, and now I won't use anything else! Also, after inspected the label, I discovered that this small family owned company is actually ...
Flanders Skin Care - Homepage – Flandersskincare
Thick, textured wipes that don't all come out of the package at once! Love these!
Honest Baby Wipes
Toys
This playmate is so popular for a reason! We got it when Salem was 2 months old, and even now at almost 9 months she STILL loves playing with the piano! Plus, who can resist “a purple monkey is a bubblegum tree’?!
Fisher-Price Gyms & Playmats - Mattel
Salem’s favorite ‘car toy’. This is another one that has been around since the early days, and she still gets enjoyment from it months later!
Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy
Hygiene & Health
After Salem had a skin reaction to Baby Dove, I tried this at the recommendation of her pediatrician. It left her skin and hair feeling and looking clean, without all the fragrance of a lot of baby soaps. Plus, she never had anymore skin issues!
Baby Wash & Shampoo: Gentle Cleanse | CeraVe
If you had asked me at ANY point during my pregnancy if I would be using this, it would have been a very strong “Ew! No!” However, desperate times called for desperate measures, and I finally caved and tried it after finding the nose bulb did basical...
NoseFrida the SnotSucker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Salem had bits of cradle cap of months, so I decided to give this a shot. After just 2 uses, her cradle cap totally disappeared!
Frida Baby Cradle Cap Treatment Shampoo
We used this tub from the day we brought her home, until a couple of weeks ago, and it worked perfectly! The sling is a great addition for the first few months!
Blue MOBY® 3-Stage Whale Bathtub With Sling | skiphop.com
The only pacifiers Salem would take! Because she was so tiny, a lot of brands were just too bulky and heavy for her, but these are super light, and very easy for her to keep in her mouth.
Ultra-light silicone pacifier - Tommee Tippee
The best stain treatment I have ever used. Period. Salem is such a messy water, I would have had to throw out soooo many clothes (both hers and mine) if it wasn’t for this stuff!

This may be TMI, but our dachshund likes to eat dirty diapers. 🤢 Thankfully, we got an Ubbi, and now she can’t get them out of the trash. PLUS, the stink is contained and doesn’t smell up the house. The best part, you don’t need special bags!
