DON'T BUY ANY OTHER CARRIER, WRAP ETC. I've tried 3 and this one is hands-down the cream of the crop. My babies were big, so they liked the snuggly feel of a wrap close to you but tie wraps just don't offer the support they need being so big. The big...
Cue this buckle-friendly wrap. It has more support like a carrier, but the flexibility and functionality of a wrap. It's mwah, chef's kiss.
Baby Prewrapped Carrier
Every reflux babies dream. We had the Leachco Podster recliner one that was a bit more high-quality than this one, but it's discontinued. I swear by it for everyday lounging though. The acid reflux babies need that angled support.

Papablic Baby Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer
I originally bought a cheaper leather diaper bag on Amazon for my firstborn because it had a pull out little bassinet in it. Well, my baby nenver would sleep in that bassinet so it was a waste of space and then the straps thread pulled loose. So, I w...
Itzy Ritzy Leather Diaper Bag
This really depends on the diaper bag you have. If you go cheaper, you won't have all the compartments and need these as they keep the diaper bag organized. It's nice because it has different colors so you recognize which bag goes with what items.
My Itzy Ritzy has everything built in with tons of pockets so I don't need these now really.

We kept this in our room and used it for night changes the first four months he slept with us.

These are more affordable than other brands and actually have an overall non-toxic and environmentally-friendly rating by the EWG
Fragrance Free Baby Wipes Refill Pack - 800ct - Up & Up
I've used this every day for MONTHS/YEARS when having breastfed babies and trying to travel. It would work for formula too. It warms the milk and keeps it at 98 which is nice too especially for babies with sensitive tummies that can't handle colder or have reflux.
Portable Bottle Warmer
Before this came out I used the Momcozy velcro stroller cup/travel pouch, but found it too wobbly.

We love this baby monitor because it has a wide signal range. For example, you can go outside and raise it's antenna. It's also easy to use and not overly complicated, but includes enough features like:
Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO Video Baby Monitor, 720P
People will tell you not to use these for sleep and we really tried not to use anything extra, but when you go weeks and months without rest, you throw lots of the “expert advice” out the window and do what you can to survive. Our baby was in our roo...
Snuggle Me Organic
The only way our baby slept was with the Snuggle Me pillow inside this. The rocking motion helped his reflux struggles. I suggest finding it used on FB Marketplace vs. paying full price. If you only plan on having one baby you can also rent it for a few months until baby is older in their one room.
Happiest Baby | SNOO Smart Sleeper and Baby Sleep Solutions
I'm only putting this on because I like how loud it goes compared to our other, cheaper one. However, our first one stopped working right within a month and their customer service was really difficult to work with.

We buy a box of these every few months and use them as nighttime diapers since they are expensive but the most absorbent brand. It's helped reduce night wakings
I used this for a year after giving birth. Your pelvic floor will thank you for not sitting in a HARD chair.

VagiKool Reusable Postpartum GelCold-Pack
Yes, it's big. Yes, it's pricey. Yes, it's WORTH IT. I used this during both pregnancies and giving birth in the hospital, all through the first newborn phase of postpartum.
It gives you the support you need on both sides, an arm rest when nursing baby 24/7 for those of you with babies that won't let you leave their side, and it has a spot you can put your pillow too.
