Baby Essentials that made our first year easier (from a First-Time Mom)
19
items The first year with a baby is a blur of soaking up sweet snuggles, celebrating milestones, and feeling overwhelmed all at once. These are the products I thoughtfully chose and truly used with our son! The ones I reached for daily because they made li...
The Doona made life with a newborn so much easier (especially when out and about without my husband). I loved being able to go from car seat to stroller in seconds without waking my son or carrying extra gear. We used this constantly for errands and ...
Doona Car Seat & Stroller Collection
This Nuna rotating car seat has been one of our favorite purchases. Being able to turn the seat toward the door makes getting our little man in and out so much easier, especially in tight parking spots. It saves my back, saves time, and makes quick t...
Nuna REVV Rotating Convertible Car Seat | The New 360° Seat
We started using the Lovevery Play Gym within the first week or two of bringing Harrison home, and it quickly became part of our daily routine. It’s perfect from the newborn stage through sitting and rolling, with different sections that support sens...
The Play Gym | Baby Activity & Tummy Time Mat
This monitor gives us so much peace of mind, especially at night (even when we get a rare date night and the sitter is there, or dad is solo parenting 😉). It was easy to install and connect to our phones, and the picture and sound quality are both e...
Owlet Dream Sight™ – Smart 2K HD Video Baby Monitor
This was one of the first things I knew I wanted when we found out we were pregnant. Knowing it’s breathable gave me so much peace of mind, especially in those early months. When we transitioned him from the bassinet to his crib around 4–5 months, th...
Safe & Breathable Crib Mattress
We loved these onesies. The magnetic closures make diaper changes so fast and easy, especially in the middle of the night when you’re half asleep. Not having to deal with snaps or zippers was such a relief. These made nighttime changes so much smooth...
Magnetic Me: Baby Footies - Magnetic Closures
My son loved this bouncer, and we used it daily until he outgrew it. It was perfect for giving me a few hands-free minutes while still keeping him close and comfortable. I also love that it’s a more affordable option compared to the BabyBjörn bouncer...
Alpine Organic Deluxe Portable Bouncer - Organic Oat
This light came in handy for those late night feedings in the early days! We still use it in a regular basis if we have to go check on our son and he loves playing with it- flipping it over and turning light up and down by pushing on it. Impressed wi...
EASZZZ Baby Night Light, Nursery Lamp BPA Free
We got this for Harrison for Christmas, and he uses it every single day. He quickly learned how to turn the volume up and down and switch out the characters on his own, which has been so fun to watch. It’s been an amazing alternative to limit screen ...
tonies
Love this car camera! So much easier and safer than having to turn around to look in mirror. It is very reasonably priced with good picture quality. Adjusts to lighting (will switch to night vision when dark enough).
AMTIFO Baby Car Camera Clear Night Vision
These are the cups we used to transition from a bottle to a cup and our son loves them! Easy to take apart and clean. We use them daily.
NUK® Tritan Learner Cup, 5 oz
Makes it easy for little ones to hold crayons! My son has really liked using these.
Ready 2 Learn Easy Grip Crayons, 6 Per Set, 2 Sets
This baby gate has been so helpful! We can easily pull it closed if we want to keep our son out of the kitchen. Simple install, not bulky or ugly to look at!
Reinforced 75” Wide Retractable Baby Gate with Rods
I love these! So easy to carry around and more gentle than a tissue on a little nose. We have used these A LOT since our little man started daycare… iykyk. Love that they have a resealable top too!
Boogie Wipes
I am amazed at all of the baby products that are available now! Have used this when our son is sick and as someone who has asthma and needed a nebulizer growing up, I think this is so clever!
Frida Baby NoseFrida Saline Mist Nasal Spray
Thought this was so smart! It works really well and on the rare occasions we have had to give our little guy medicine it has been easy since he loves his pacifier!
MediFrida the ACCU-DOSE PACIFIER
Amazing at removing stains out of son’s clothing! I think I use it before every load of laundry.
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treaters
My son inherited my sensitive skin and has eczema.. switching to this has helped calm it! It smells amazing as well!
roe Wellness
Thankfully we have not had to use this but it gives us a peace of mind knowing we have it if needed. We bring with us anywhere we go!
