The HALO sleep sacks are amazing!! They come in multiple prints and were highly used in the early days
HALO Disney Baby Cotton Sleepsack Swaddle
We had the older model of this bassinet and sold it after my daughter grew out of it. I don’t think that I would repurchase this bassinet for number two, but it was very thoroughly used with my first period. It had a music setting and also a vibratin...
HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper 3.0 Bassinet
I think I would try this one for baby number two instead of the original halo bassinet because of how close it gets and connects to the bed.
HALO BassiNest Bedside Sleeper Bassinet
This would be my #1 choice of bassinet if price were not an option! My toddler has the Newton crib mattress and it gives me such peace of mind
Newton Baby Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper w/ Mattress
I would also like to have this version for the living room! Looks lighter and has storage on the bottom which would be perfect in the family area especially with a toddler

Halo sheets for the Halo bassinets
HALO BassiNest 100% Cotton Bassinet Sheet
I don’t like the baby monitor that we had for my oldest so I would definitely like to try this one for baby number two. I’ve heard great reviews from other people that I’ve known to have it.
Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor 1080p Wi-Fi
My oldest did not like the very expensive swing that we bought so I sold it. However, she loved this exact swing at my mother-in-law’s house so I will be buying this for our house.

Absolutely LOVE. OUR. HATCH. We use it every night still with my toddler as a sound machine and nightlight. Well worth the investment!!!

My toddler has worn these sleep sack since she was two months old and still now wears the sleep bag walkers
Sleep Bags
Breastfeeding/Pumping🍼
I went through so much of this stuff! I used it every time I was pumping as lubrication and it’s able to be used for that because it’s organic!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ 2oz
I think these would have saved my breast-feeding journey in the early days if I had them. I was so cracked and so sore and had blisters from trying to nurse for the first time that I ended up just pumping from them on. I could not get a good latch wi...
SILVERETTE® Original Silver Nursing Cups 7300
I wish I had these as a first time Mom! We were in the hospital for an extended period, just buy a few days, but my colostrum and milk started coming in, and I did not know what to do. My nurses were not very helpful and I ended up collecting what ha...
haakaa Petal Soft Silicone Milk Collector 2PCS
I did use these later on as my baby was growing, they still don’t suction but they were more bulky than the ones I shared previous to this. I would definitely use these again, but I think I would rather eat not as bulky option to have on hand as well...
haakaa Ladybug Wearable Milk Collector 2PCS
This does suction and acts as a true “pump”. I used this on the opposite side when nursing in the beginning because I had a major oversupply! By pumping the other side made it easier for my baby to latch that size and I created a breastmilk stash.
Haakaa Silicone Manual Breast Pump 4oz
Again I didn’t have these but I would like to have them this time because I was leaking a lot in the days after baby was born!
haakaa Colostrum Collector Kit 0.1oz 2PK

Loved the Philips Avent bottle for my gassy baby! They were a lifesaver and she wouldn’t take any other bottles. Also love that these are glass. Will be reusing
Philips Avent Natural Glass Baby Bottles 8oz 4-Pack
4 oz option of my favorite bottles for 0-3. The flow is controlled by baby which I think is great!
Philips Avent Natural Glass Baby Bottles 4oz 4-Pack
Did not have the specific bottle warmer with my daughter, but it goes with the Philips Avent bottles that I love so I will definitely be buying this for next time.
Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer SCF358
Going to keep this on hand in case we formula feed with the next one. For $8 it’s a good backup plan to have.
Dr. Brown's Baby Formula Pitcher 36oz Black
Cleaning🫧
I would like to try this out for next time because I hand washed all baby bottles or ran them through the dishwasher, my pediatrician said that was okay too. It took up a lot of space in the dishwasher so it seems like having a smaller “second dishwa...

This is a really nice drying rack to let the bottles sit angled to dry. I really loved using this.
Ubbi Vertical Bottle Drying Rack & Brush Bundle
Another good drying mat that I use frequently!
Boon Lawn Baby Bottle Drying Rack Bundle
I mostly hand washed bottles when my toddler was a baby and the Dr. Brown’s ones that are not silicone wore out so fast. I was replacing them twice monthly. This silicone one is double-sided for the bottles and the bottle tops and lasts much longer.

Love this free and clear detergent and still use now!

Love this travel system and had the stroller that matched. We use this for so long and just had an extra base in all of the cars.

This was the stroller of our travel system. The car seat snapped into it facing forwards or facing outward and also has a seat attachment. It can also turn into a bassinet style stroller. We still use it with the seat attachment for my almost 3-year-...

You need a nice lightweight car seat cover to keep the germs and yucky out when you’re out and about at a store or a restaurant or even the doctors office.

I used this when my toddler was a baby and still use it now with her toddler car seat to protect my seats

Love this thermometer and that it’s non invasive.
Fast Accurate Thermometer for Adults & Kids
Another item I still use with my toddler! I preferred this Manuel nose sucker to the mechanical ones and felt like I got more out when I used this. Also, combined with the saline spray it loosens sticky boogers to make them easier to get out and clea...
Frida Baby Saline Kit 12pc w/ NoseFrida
When my oldest was a baby, she had an upset tummy a lot of the time and we used these gas drops a lot. I would highly recommend having them on hand in case you need them.
MYLICON Infants Gas Relief Drops, Dye Free, 1oz
Another one that I still use with my toddler, and boogie wipes has the same thing with a different brand. It helps loosen up mucus.
Frida Baby NoseFrida Saline Mist Nasal Spray
Another great thing to have on hand. We used the Windi before to help trapped gas and some poop came out with it! It was a mess but my baby felt better.
Frida Baby Fart Freeing Essentials Set
If you are delivering naturally, you definitely need these combined with the derma plaster spray on your pads for afterwards. It’s nice and cool cooling and makes everything feel better.
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads 100 Count
I use this after delivery and layered a heavy pad or diaper, tux pads placed on top and then sprayed with dermoplast.
Dermoplast Pain, Burn & Itch Relief Spray 2.75oz
This is another great gift set to register for. We used the cleansing wash on nights that we did not give our baby a bath. Before she went to daycare at three months old, we did not bathe her every night to keep some of the natural skin barrier there...
