Postpartum
So much better than what you get and they are the exact product of the expensive Frida mom brand! Save your money and get these!
Disposable Underwear Postpartum
I wish I would’ve started using this earlier! Helped so much with healing especially if you tear!
Motherlove Sitz Bath Spray 2oz - Organic
I use this thing daily! The print is my fave but they have so many cute ones to choose from. Keeps my water cold for so long. Fits into cup holders nicely. Straw flips down to keep spills at a minimum!
HydroJug Traveler 40oz - Rodeo
A must have for postpartum healing! Get the big tub, you’ll thank me later!
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
Travel
Everything about this stroller and car seat combo is amazing! Love the color combo. Folds up with one hand! Car seat fits babies longer than other brands. Couldn’t recommend this more!
Bravo Primo Trio Travel System - Springhill
We use this daily! Surprisingly long charge life! Also brought this to the hospital for myself during labor!
Child Car Seat Fans | Portable & Quiet Options
A mirror in the car is a necessity! Easy for mom to see baby and something for baby to look at too!
Safety Baby Car Mirror For Rear Facing Infant Car Seat
I will forever recommend this diaper bag! So many pockets, tons of cute options for print/style, clips for hanging on a stroller, front pocket for all of my own necessities, so many things to love about it!
Boss Plus™ Large Diaper Bag Backpack
Awesome bag to keep bottles cold! Love this thing!
Insulated Bottle Bag - Keep Drinks Cold
Feeding
I’ve loved this formula!! So gently on baby’s tummy and not made with any extra junk that’s in Enfamil or Similac!
Kendamil Goat Infant Powder Formula - 28.2oz
My baby loves these bottles! She struggles with latching and gassiness. These allow baby to get milk without the air with the collapsible inside. I use the curve nipple with these!
Boon : Bottles - Baby
Another favorite bottle of ours! Baby also latches to these nicely! Has a slower flow!
Evenflo Balance Wide-Neck Anti-Colic Baby Bottles - 9oz
Used these daily the first few months to collect breastmilk. Painless “pumping”. Super convenient for on the go or being able to collect while doing things around the house!
Boon Trove Silicone Manual Breast Pump
Used these with the Boon bottles - worked amazing! They are a bit of a faster flow, so I did have to wait a little before baby could handle the milk flow.
Boon Nursh Curve Silicone Baby Bottle Nipples - 3 Count
Cheap, great for on the go, does what I need it to! No need to overspend on something like this.
Munchkin Formula Dispenser - Pink
Clothes
My all time favorite sleepers! The material is so nice and it fits them for such a long time because they’re stretchy!
Cloud Island : Baby Pajamas
Bathing
Don’t get a separate tub for your baby! Just unnecessary and they grow out of it too quick! Use this in your regular tub and you’ll get so much more use out of it!
Angelcare Baby Bath Support - Gray
They smell the best. I just love how good baby smells out of the tub! Nighttime one is great for calming before bed!
Johnson's Baby Shampoo - Gentle, Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Skin
This lotion smells so so good! Love that it’s a “safe” option for baby’s skin. Great brand!
Baby Body Lotion | 4 oz
Miscellaneous
My favorite pacifier! Baby is able to keep it in their mouth really well!
Tommy Tippee Ultra-Light Pacifiers | Silicone Designs for 0-6+ Months
Entertainment
My baby loves this thing! Worth every penny! Has lots of settings and it’s comfortable for baby to lounge in! Used it from day 1 and still use it at 4 months!
4moms MamaRoo Multi-Motion Baby Swing Bluetooth
We love this thing! Really lightweight and easy to move around. The first few months we called this her “poop chair” because it worked every time 😆 we still use it every day and she’s 5 months!
Dream on Me 2-in-1 Infant Rocker Grey
Nursery
We love this crib! It was simple to put together and love how many options you can turn it into as baby grows! It has a modern look to it, but still nice and cozy! Nice and lightweight to move around too if necessary!
Delta Children Spencer 6-in-1 Convertible Crib - Greenguard Gold Certified - Teak Brown
For When Baby is Sick
Better alternative to Tylenol is clean ingredients are important to you. I personally don’t bother to buy infant because it’s all the same, just more expensive for infant! Just give a smaller dosage! This works great for us!
Genexa Kids Acetaminophen Pain & Fever 4oz
Great brand to have in the medicine cabinet! No gross taste to it either!
Genexa Kids Cough Medicine
Use this all the time! Gives a super quick read! It seems to almost always be on sale too, which is a win!!
Digital Thermometer for Adults & Kids, Fast & Accurate
These things are great! Just gave one to my daughter and she was so restless and irritable from being in pain and now she’s fast asleep all cuddled on me 🥰 These aren’t “medicine” so I don’t feel bad giving it to her! They really do work’
Boiron Camilia Bedtime Liquid Doses, 30 Ct
I know, it sounds gross..but it works! And that’s why moms get it! Because when your baby is so congested, you’ll do anything to help them breathe better! And truly, it isnt as gross as it looks! 😆
