From those first sleepy newborn snuggles to the wild toddler stage, having the right essentials can make mom life so much smoother. I’ve rounded up my tried-and-true favorites that actually make a difference—whether you’re looking for sleep savers, feeding helpers, or everyday sanity keepers. These are the items that I’d recommend to every new (and seasoned!) mama navigating the 0–2 stage.

Everyone needs a few essentials in their makeup routine. Here I’ve listed my favorite and most reliable products. Most are very inexpensive and some are more pricey but definitely worth it.
