What I’d Buy Again If We Had to Start Over (New Mom Edition)
12
items This list is everything I’d buy again if I had to start from scratch — the real MVPs that made new mom life smoother, calmer, and actually manageable.
If you’re expecting or shopping for a new mom, start here. I’ve lived it — and these are the ones...
A splurge, but totally worth it. Smooth push literally drives like a rolls Royce, great under-basket storage that was perfect for grocery shopping, and held up through all our travels.
Cruz® V2 - Lucy
Lightweight, sleek, and incredibly safe. We loved how easy it was to snap in and out — especially during the newborn sleep transfers.
Nuna PIPA™ rx Infant Car Seat | With Reclining RELX Base
One of the only places my baby would chill without being held. Lightweight, folds flat, and goes anywhere in the house.
Baby Bouncers that gently rock your child | BabyBjörn
These ran big in the best way. One pair lasted months, and the buttery soft fabric is unmatched. My daughter is now 1.5 and can still fit in the 6-12.
Little Sleepies
Not the most compact swing out there, but it got the job done. During those newborn months when she wouldn’t nap anywhere else, this was our MVP. If you have the space, it’s absolutely worth it — gave me pockets of peace I desperately needed.
Simple Sway™ Swing
Used it for naps, play, travel, and even as a safe spot when I needed 10 minutes to myself. Total multitasker.
Travel Crib & Play Yard - Breathable & Washable
Perfect for early sitters and a lifesaver when we started solids. Easy to clean and great for building that core strength.
Bumbo
One of the few swaddles that actually stayed on. We relied on these to get through the newborn phase.
Baby Sleepsack Swaddles | HALO
Ultra-soft and so breathable. They grew with her and made the crib transition super smooth.
Shop Sleep Bags | Bamboo Sleep Sacks
All the benefits of the Hatch Rest — white noise, nightlight, and customizable sounds — but no subscription required. Simple, easy to use, and perfect for creating a calming sleep environment from newborn to toddler.
Momcozy Baby Sound Machine White Noise
An amazing tool for breastfeeding moms who want to track their baby’s weight gain at home. Accurate and easy to use, it gives you peace of mind without extra doctor trips. Perfect for those early weeks when every ounce counts and doubles as a changin...
Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad & Scale
Totally gross at first, but 1000% effective. This thing clears out baby congestion like magic — especially during those first colds when you feel helpless. If I had to choose between this and a fancy thermometer, I’d choose this.
NoseFrida the SnotSucker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
