Baby Diapering
All things related to diapering!
Large and great compartments for diapers and creams. Everything you really need for a diaper change.
Nursery Storage & Organization | Diaper Caddy
I have multiple of these. I keep baby pee pads, desitin, hand sanitizer and doggie bags in the zipped compartment. There is also a compartment just for wipes. Easy to throw in the diaper bag.
Tiny Twinkle Portable Waterproof Diaper Pad
We love this cream. We put a dab in the diapers and spread it around in the actual diaper. It’s preventive for diaper rashes!
Desitin
These are key for when a diaper rash is coming and you want to get up close to the area without having to use your fingers. I love that it comes with a case!
NFSVLB Baby Diaper Cream Spatula Set with Case
This ointment is great for diaper rashes but also for baby acne and rashes. Whenever my baby starts breaking out, I put a dab of ointment all over and it clears up,
TUBBY TODD All Over Ointment Baby Eczema
I always have one of these in my damper bag. It’s thin so it easily fits in zipped compartments. The scents are also all amazing!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
This was a huge life hack. For poopy diapers, throw the diaper in the lavender scented dog bag. I keep a roll in my diaper caddy and portable diaper changing pad. This prevents your garbage from stinking. Also easy for on the road if you have a blowo...
Wowflash 480 Count 13x9 Dog Poop Bags
This diaper bag is super complex, offering a lot of space and compartments.
Baby Diaper Bags & Accessories
These are lifesavers. Add these pee pads to your subscribe and auto ship on Amazon. I do not do a diaper change without one of these. The amount of times this saved me from getting pee/poop on my changing pad is countless! Highly recommend. They’re a...
Rocinha 100 Pack Disposable Changing Pads Baby ...
I love this wipeable changing pad! It comes with a belt buckle to keep baby secured while you’re changing. It’s also aesthetically pleasing.
Keekaroo Peanut Changer Baby Vanilla - Easy Clean
Feeding
Comfortable to use. You can buckle in and carry baby around while feeding.
Nursing Pillows
I love these burp cloths. They’re soft and absorbent. I have dozens so that I can keep them all around the house!
Burt's Bees Baby: Burp Cloths & Bibs
These work just as well as silverettes and are much cheaper. They saved my nipples in the early weeks of breastfeeding!
Koala Babycare Silver Nursing Cups Nipple Shields
My baby had a tongue/lip/cheek tie so holding pacifiers in her mouth were hard. This pacifier is so light and easy for her to hold in her mouth. She’s exclusively breastfed and has not had any nipple confusion.
Ultra-light silicone pacifier
This is hospital grade suction.
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump
If you’re exclusively breastfeeding (or not), you will need to keep up with your hydration. This tumbler is so nice to have. It’s with me every hour of the day. Get the largest size and drink your H2O!
Hydroflask Tumbler
These are a great momcozy dupe for a fraction of the price. I live in these since I exclusively breastfeed. Very comfortable and easy to take down for easy access feeding.
Vinfact 3 Pack Seamless V Neck Nursing Bras
This bra is lightweight and easily accessible for feeding. It’s comfortable enough to sleep in, which I have to sleep in nursing bras every night!
Momcozy Maternity Nursing Bra - Clothing
I use these every day. It keeps my bras dry. I can’t imagine going a day without them. They are was to use. They have adhesive backing to stick to the inside of your bra so they stay in place.
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
I use this on my opposite breast when my baby feeds. It allows me to collect my milk from the letdown that would otherwise be wasted. I usually use the suction feature and with that can get about 2-3 oz from having it sit there. It’s easy to pour int...
haakaa Manual Silicone Breast Pump 4oz
This fits inside your bra and can easily be used to either simply collect your let down with or without suction. I like using this if I don’t want to suction my breast but just collect what would come out naturally regardless. It’s easy to then pour ...
haakaa Ladybug Breast Milk Collector - Soft Shells
I also have these pacifiers (0-3 months) and my baby liked these as well. I like that the nipple is hollow so you can put your finger into there to encourage the baby to suck.
Philips Avent Soothie Orthodontic Silicone Pacifier
Swaddles
My favorite swaddles. You’ll see a trend that I like easy and accessible. They are all safe and secure which is the number 1 thing for me.
I panic ordered more of these after I came home from the hospital. If you can, get before delivery and bring to the hospital. The blankets they use to swaddle the baby in the hospital are thick and dated. Unless you’re a pro swaddler, it is time cons...
Halo Sleep Sack
I also love this swaddle. I live in the northeast and it gets cold in the winter. This is a bit of a thicker swaddle for warmth. It’s easy to use, you Velcro the baby’s arms and then zip up the swaddle. There’s also a double zip for easy diaper check...
Happiest Baby Sleepea Comforter Swaddle
These swaddles are also very easy to use. They offer a Velcro to tighten.
Comfy Cubs Easy Swaddle Blanket 3 Pack
Bath/Hygiene
This set is safe to use on babies that move around but very effective. You don’t have to worry about accidentally clipping their skin.
Momcozy Baby Nail File Electric, Gentle ...
This shampoo is critical for when your baby inevitable gets cradle cap. Luckily my baby had a mediocre case but this really helped clear up quickly.
Happy Cappy Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash
This cradle cap system is a great compliment to the happy cappy shampoo. You first sponge the baby’s head and then a soft bristle brush to lift the dead skin and finally a fine tooth comb to remove the dead skin.
Frida Baby Cradle Cap Treatment ...
Clothing
Magnetic Me onesies are incredible. They make diaper changes soo easy! They’re soft and since they’re magnets, they basically dress the baby itself.
Magnetic Me
Everyone told me “don’t buy too many newborn outfits, they’ll grow out of them so soon.” Ignore them. I panic bought multiples of these onesies because we were so low on onesies and the last thing I wanted to do was laundry every day.
These onesies...
Cloud Island Baby Onesies | Soft & Stylish Designs for Little Ones
Carriers/Containers
I love this carrier. It is smaller for smaller torso girlies (but also versatile because my hubby uses it too and he is 6’1). It’s very easy to put on - only 3 buckles and it’s ready to go unlike wraps that you need to manually tie! My baby feels ver...
Mabē Monarch Ergonomic Baby Carrier
So helpful for my Velcro baby. I can have her next to me when I need hands free but can’t use the baby carrier at the moment.
Baby Bouncers that gently rock your child | BabyBjörn
I love the snuggleme lounger. I am able to set my baby down for quick naps next to me while I do some work or watch tv.
Snuggle Me
Baby Gear
This is my favorite stroller. It allows you to pop in the car seat, bassinet or rumble seat. This stroller is also great for expanding families as it allows for 2 seating configuration. It is expensive but it’s worth the investment.
Vista V3 - Greyson
The bassinet is compatible with the vista v3 stroller. There is also an option to put on a stand. I take my baby on walks and then when we get home she is usually asleep so I pop the bassinet out of the stroller and onto the stand inside. It’s very e...
UPPAbaby Bassinet V3 for Vista, Cruz, Ridge
Bassinet stand that is compatible with the uppababy bassinet. The stand is easy to put together and lightweight.
UPPAbaby Bassinet Stand, Grey : Baby
I live in the northeast so a car seat cover was a non negotiable! Since winter costs are not safe to wear in car seats, this cover keeps my baby warm and safe. It’s so easy to use - you simply put on the car seat and then zip and unzip it to put the ...
Skip Hop Car Seat Cover
Tummy Time
Things to make tummy time less bad for the babe!
Contrary to what this advertised as, I prefer this as a way to prop up the lil babe for tummy time. It’s also convenient to set her down sitting up for a few minutes while I get my hands free (never leave them unattended in the boppy)
Boppy Pillow
This playmate is lightweight yet cute designs and perfect for tummy time.
Comfy Cubs Square Kids Play Mat 56x56in
I love these boppy covers. They’re light weight and cute patterns. Key to have since a spit up is inevitable so it’s a way to protect the boppy pillow.
Konssy Muslin Soft & Cute Nursing Covers
Sleep
White noise is critical for baby’s sleep. I severely under estimated this at first. The portable hatch sound allows you to bring white noise on the go (stroller or car seat, etc.).
Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine & Night Light 2nd Gen
Best tip I’ve received was to place the heating pad in the bassinet prior to putting your little one to sleep. I put the pad on top of the swaddle and mattress so it allows for easy transfer from when my baby falls asleep on my chest to when I put he...
Amazon Best Sellers: Best Heating Pads
The Snoo, although a steep purchase, is well worth the investment. The snoo automatically rocks the baby and provides white noise. You can control the level of rocking and noise from an app. It is also sleep safe, meaning the baby has to be swaddled ...
SNOO Smart Sleeper Baby Bassinet - Bedside Crib
These are Snoo compatible swaddles. I love them because they are so easy to use. They are Velcro on the inside and then an easy zip on the front. There’s a double zipper so easy for diaper checks. These click into the sides of the Snoo which is neces...
Happiest Baby SNOO 100% Organic Cotton Swaddle
Medicine
These were recommended from my lactation consultant. They help provide baby’s gut with good bacteria to help aid in digestion.
BioGaia Protectis Probiotic Baby Drops - 0.17 fl oz
My pediatrician said vitamin D drops are necessary when breastfeeding. These have been great for my baby. She doesn’t seem to mind the taste and it comes with a syringe to deliver medicine.
Zarbee's Vitamin D Drops 400IU for Infants, 2 Pack
We have a gassy baby and so far have been liking these drops. They’re OTC so easy to get. The syringe it comes with is metered dose, so easy to use.
MYLICON Infants Gas Relief Drops, Dye Free, 1oz
I love this thermometer. It’s easy to use since it’s a lot quicker than putting a thermometer under my baby’s arm. This is also first line of defense before needing to use a rectal thermometer as that can be traumatizing to the baby.
Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer ExacTemp
This is good to have on hand!
Tylenol Infant Dye-Free General Pain Reliever - Cherry - 1 fl oz
