I had major anxiety about putting down my baby when she was sleeping. After a week of very little sleep from holding her non stop, I purchased this bassinet. It gave me such peace of mind to know the bassinet mattress was breathable! She is not a big...

My baby wore this sleep sack every single night! We only had one to start with, and ended up purchasing more once we saw how wonderful this one was. So soft and warm for baby, and the color and pattern is so cute!

We used this bassinet during the day to have a safe spot to put baby down if we needed to quickly do something. It is very light so easy to move about the house as needed.

This foldable play yard was perfect to bring to families homes or on vacation as a safe sleeping place at night. Bonus that it was a very similar feel to the mattress in the bassinet that she was already used to! I found it easy to fold and transpor...

These are the only set of bottles we have used! I love that they are glass instead of plastic. We have not needed to purchase any other bottles or nipples, the two sizes included in the pack have continued to work for my baby as she has grown and is ...

We have a small house, so it was essential that we have compact baby furniture. This high chair fits so nicely to the side of our table! It is the perfect size. I also love the double tray so if the top tray is still in the sink by the next mealtime,...

I keep this in my car to use anytime we go to the store and I think she may want to sit in the cart. Half the time she sits in the cart and the other half I carry her. I love that this is comfortable for her to sit so she is happy in the cart for a l...

This backpack has been the perfect diaper bag! It fits a ton inside and the outside pockets work great for a pack of wipes or a few burp cloths to keep handy. The small front compartment doubled as a bottle/snack compartment or the space for mommy’s ...

This has been the only stroller we needed! We live in a village and walk to cafe’s or restaurants frequently. We also have a lot of steps to get up to our porch! This is light enough for me to carry down the steps but also large enough to fit supplie...

Diapering

We primarily use cloth diapers and I love this brand! They make it too easy to use with snap closures and cute patterns for the outers. They also double as swim diapers in the summer! We had 6 outers and that was a good number for us.

We used this bath seat for every bath until she grew out of it! It is nice and simple to use. I don’t like the complicated bath seats, they seem uncomfortable to me. She was always happy in this seat.

She loved this comfy bouncer so much until she grew out of it! We also got the toy bar and she loved looking at the little characters or playing with them as she got older.

We got this toy bar to go with the bouncer and my baby loved looking at these little characters, then bopping and playing with them as she got a little older. We had so much fun!

We had so much fun with this play gym! I moved the little characters around as she grew and moved them so they would jingle and make noise while she lay on the mat, then she would reach for them as she got older.
