Baby Health and Safety
Weird but ESSENTIAL! You won’t know you need it until you are staring at a booger deep in your baby’s nose with no way of picking it out. My absolute favorite baby tool.
oogiebear: The baby breathing care experts
We can’t go anywhere without this for our little eczema baby. It keeps his skin soft and has saved us from lots of tears! Having a baby with sensitive skin is so scary and I love that this product is all natural and made with ingredients I can trust....
Tubby Todd
The baby nail file has never worked for my kid’s nails! I skipped it altogether and just grabbed this instead! It’s super easy to use with the perfect shape to conform to those tiny nails. And the file takes care of any jagged edges! It’s scary for a...
NailFrida the SNIPPERCLIPPER SET – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Gotta brush those teeth as soon as they pop! This one doubles as a fun teething toy and I let my baby chomp on it after I brush his cute little nubs! 🪥🦷
Dr. Brown's Infant-to-Toddler Toothbrush, Giraffe, 1-Pack
A necessary evil 😭 When babies get snotty they can’t eat and they need help! My babies hated this but always felt so much better when it was done. And they could eat and breathe again!!
NoseFrida the SnotSucker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
I love this dye free option for infant pain relief. This is something you need to have on hand before baby starts teething!
Infants' Pain & Fever Pain Reliever – Fever Reducer
You can never have too many of these! And I love that they hold more for when your baby gets bigger.
Cutie Dose - Liquid Medicine Dispenser
Don’t mess around with those touchless ones, just get this one.
Baby Rectal Thermometer
This thing for those soft baby hairs is perfect. And it gets up all the cradle cap gunk without hurting baby’s little scalp!
Natemia Soft Bristle Baby Hair Brush - Wooden
Diapering
I love these diapers!! They are so soft and luxurious feeling, and cheaper than pampers! They hold a lot, too. Target runs promotions on their diapers and wipes all the time so you can stock up for a decent price!
Millie Moon
I wish I never messed with those changing pads that need a cover. They end up in the wash two minutes after you put it on. Get a wipeable one from the start!! This is the one we have and it’s great.
changing pad
This is the only diaper cream I’ll use. It gets rid of the diaper rash so fast! I’m not messing around!
Maximum Strength Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste
Baby Eating
These are my favorite brand of baby bottle. The little mechanism inside helps a ton with spitting up and gas by keeping the air out! I get the glass ones!
Baby Bottles
We use this every day while our high chair sits in the corner. We have a fomo Velcro baby who wants to be right in on the action! And a bonus, the mess ends up on the table instead of the floor (most of the time 😉) It also travels well and is super ...
Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Seat Slate
These are such great bibs! Easy to clean and catch (most) of the food that doesn’t make it into the babies mouth. (Spoiler alert: it’s a lot!)
Cloud Island : Bibs & Burp Cloths
Travel
You will need this! Sleep queues are huge with babies and when you’re on the go it’s so nice to be able to turn this on (it loops onto the car seat handle) and let your baby fall asleep to the familiar sound of white noise. I don’t know how you’d do ...
Yogasleep Hushh Portable White Noise Machine
This is my diaper bag and I really do love it! The cup holder holds my 40oz hydro jug, the bag is huge, and it comes with another smaller cross body bag! Lots of pockets for both baby and you. It also comes with a changing mat that is a really good s...
Baby Diaper Bag
Quite honestly, skip the fancy travel systems and save the $$ for a double stroller down the road. This stroller and car seat combo is perfect for your first baby! The snack tray and parent console are included- not an extra $100 (looking at you uppa...
Bravo Trio Travel Systems
These are so cute and so good at keeping baby happy while in the car. So many fun options too!
Best Baby Car Seat Toys
If you foresee lots of traveling with your baby, GET THIS! I just brought it on the airplane with my in lap baby and I don’t know what I’d have done without it. It’s not huge like the normal boppy, so it’s easy to bring along, and was so helpful for ...
Boppy Anywhere Nursing Pillow Support, Soft Gray
I didn’t have this with my first and I regret it! I love being able to watch the baby so easily in the car, especially at night!
Itomoro Baby Car Mirror, Wide Clear View
Keep the nosy people awaaayyyy from my baby! And it doubles as a nursing cover!
Stylish Nursing Covers | Multi-Use Covers
Breastfeeding
This is a non negotiable for breastfeeding moms! The suction is way stronger than an electric pump and it’s so much easier than getting out the big pump.
Best Manual Breast Pumps
Splurge worthy imo! Those first few weeks of breastfeeding are tough and these are so soothing for your poor nips! The barrier between skin and bra is incredible when you’re feeling chapped and raw.
SILVERETTE - The Original Silver Nursing Cups – Silverette Usa
I love this stuff! It helps a ton in the early days of breastfeeding to hydrate and keep your nipples from getting too chapped or (heaven forbid) cracked!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ Cream
This is a holy grail nursing item! Holding a baby up full time is no joke, so to prevent messing with blankets and pillows and having to constantly re-adjust them, just get this pillow. It’s the perfect shape and size!
New Boppy Nursing Pillow
You should definitely be able to get this through your insurance! This is the pump I know and love.
Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump
You’ll definitely need these!
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 Count
Toys
I’d buy this again and again! The platform at the bottom makes it safe for baby’s developing hips and the toys are so cute and fun! Once the baby gets older you can remove the seat and pop up the top to make a table! My toddler loves the table for te...
Multi Explore & More Baby's View 3-Stage Activity Center
This swing doubles as a rocker! The seat portion can be removed from the base and you can carry it somewhere else in the house. (Not with the baby in it!!)
DuetSoothe® Swing and Rocker
Such a fun toy for tummy time! It works from the newborn age all the way up! My toddler still has fun with the piano. The songs aren’t crazy annoying either which is a perk! And once babies hit that age where they just kick and kick this toy is perfe...
Fisher-Price Glow And Grow Kick & Play Piano Gym Baby Playmat With Musical ...
These are essential for tummy time! The high contrast is so visually stimulating for little babies and keeps them up and looking for much longer than they’d tolerate without them!
50 Pages Visual Stimulation Flashcards, 25 PCS Black and White Baby Cards
Clothes
The zipper on this sleepers is UNMATCHED! It starts at the top and makes it so much easier to get baby out of in case of a blow out. It’s hard to explain but when it happens you’ll know! Get at least 3 in every size.
Cloud Island : Sleep n Play
I prefer these to the bamboo $40 baby sleepers and the price is just a bonus! They are so soft and stretchy. I think having at least 3 in every size is a safe bet! Babies live in sleepers until they are at least 6 months old so more sleepers = less l...
Unisex 2-Way-Zip Sleep & Play Rib-Knit Footed One-Piece for Baby | Old Navy
All the nurses were obsessed with these baby mittens because they are actually small enough to stay on a newborns hands! I love them and recommend them to everyone.
No Scratch Mittens
Sleep
My second baby hated Velcro swaddles!! These swaddles blankets were the only ones he liked. They are so much better than the muslin ones because they have some stretch to them and can cling to itself to keep your baby nice and snug. Plus, soooo many ...
Adorable Baby Swaddle Blankets for Sleep
This is a holy grail!! Still use our first one for the toddler so had to get another for #2. The easy tap to change the settings is exactly what you need during those late nights and early mornings. I love all the different colors and settings! Red i...
Hatch Rest 2nd generation - Night Light, Sound Machine, and Time-to-Rise
My first baby was no fuss no frills and this Velcro swaddle was perfect for her!
Velcro Swaddle
Once baby can roll it’s time to transition out of the swaddle! I love these sleep sacks. The quality speaks for itself and they are so soft and the perfect weight for year round coziness.
Comfortable Sleeping Bag for Babies
I couldn’t live without our Nanit! I love being able to check in on my babies no matter where I am and the insights are super helpful those first few months!
Nanit
I love a bedside bassinet! It helped ease a lot of my anxiety and I loved having baby close.
AirClub Bassinet Bedside Sleeper with Mattress
Bathing
Simple, easy, practical, and essential!
Bathing – angelcarebaby
Again, so necessary for my sensitive skin little baby! I love this brand and the ingredients.
Hair + Body Wash
A little bit frivolous? Yes. But the pictures you’ll take of your freshly bathed baby in a little hooded goose towel are priceless.🥹
Carter's Just One You®️ Baby 2pk Duck Towel - Gray/White: Hooded Terry Towels, Cotton & Polyester, Animal Print, 29"x29"
For Mom
Put this on your registry and kiss whoever gifts it to you right on the mouth.
DoorDash Gift Cards
I wore these every night for months in the beginning. If I didn’t I would leak milk everywhere! They are so soft and comfortable which is essential because who wants to sleep in a bra?
Women's Nursing 2pk Pullover Seamless Sleep Bra - Auden™ White/Mauve XS: Wireless Knit Maternity
Postpartum
This really is the GOAT.
