Clean up!
Babies are messy. But why waste time stressing when you can get everything cleaned up and move on with a better day?
We live for these. They’re soft, a great shape, machine washable, dryer friendly; a warm wash with detergent has never failed to make them good as new. Overall low maintenance.

Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths 10 Pack Organic
Just do it. I don’t want to hear how lazy it is. I run ours 1-2 times per day. We did a lot of research and went with this one because it has its own water refuse tank to dump after washing and doesn’t need to be tethered to a sink. 4 bottles at a ti...
Bottle Washer Pro
Play
Must have. Our baby rejected any electric bouncer/rocker. I didn’t register for this because I thought it was crunchy-mom “no tech!” TikTok fodder. Turned out to be a holy grail for our peanut, who was able to bounce himself right away. This was a ga...
Mira™ - Wells
So soft and great for play! Plus, we have a spitty baby and this wipes up like a dream.
I think I have to put #ad here, since I have an affiliate code for Amazon, but seriously, I would recommend this either way. #ad
Huloo Ultra Soft Baby Play Mat 50x50 Dark Grey
Our peanut’s first “favorite”. Pliable silicone, and a calming rattle sound.
As usual, #ad. BUT this whole brand has been a dream come true, and the ones Baby Bons gravitates toward the most. You’ll see RaZ on this list a LOT.
RaZbaby RaZ-Apple Silicone Teether & Rattle
Sophie is a STAPLE. we don’t go anywhere without her. I thought this was going to be the lamest toy. But it’s baby Bons’ FAVORITE and it’s definitely priced for its quality. Everyone needs a Sophie.

Travel
Love love love!!!!! Folding and unfolding are a breeze, the lower basket is spacious, four total cupholders, and a handle pocket.

We used these after 3 months, when I couldn’t stand the extra piece from the Avent anti-colic bottles anymore, and we were past our fears of developing colic. Dream to clean, and aesthetically pleasing.
Avent Natural Response Bottles
Ok. Big sigh. These were great for 3 months. Never got colic. Never had gas issues. Once you get the hang of lining the nipple up with the mark inside the rim, no leaks. Con: the anti colic dingle is a PITA.
Avent Anti-colic baby bottles
We live for this thing. I always thought “ok, really, how hard can it be to mix a bottle?”
But after making two… we bought this machine.
Because it’s not that it’s hard, it’s a major pain in the tush.
This machine makes it easy as pressing a button....
Formula Pro Advanced: Baby Formula Dispenser
This was a game changer for Baby Bons. It took maybe 2 tries and then he was a pro. Were totally off bottles now, and the weighted straw fits the rumbling, tumbling, can’t-sit-still lifestyle of a 9 month old
Dr. Brown's Milestones Baby Straw Cup 9oz 2pk
Sleep
I know, I know. I heard the horror stories, the whining about “false alarms,” and our own pediatrician cautioning us that we shouldn’t rely on it as a medial device. BUT. As a monitor? Just to know my baby is breathing? Absolutely indispensable. I lo...
