First-Time Mom Approved
First-Time Mom Approved
Perfect, safe, place to set baby up giving me a minute to get something done (while letting me be hands free). Random side note, many babies like this chair to do their business (bowel movement).
Baby Delight Alpine Deluxe Portable Bouncer 0-6M Organic
Floor time, tummy time, and entertainment winner. This item is good for home, and on the go. It was made so “intentional”, the color scheme, all the toys detach and can be played with individually and are all infant/baby safe.
Tiny Love Gymini Deluxe Tummy Time Mat
Very affordable (compared to “the other”) stroller. The bassinet (0-6m) mode of this was soo helpful during those first few months with my baby. A bonus is the stroller grows with baby.
Hagaday 2-in-1 Baby Stroller with Bassinet
Just so convenient! Could be placed in a bedroom, or living room. Another item that grows with baby.
Graco Pack 'n Play Close2Baby Bassinet
I love this monitor, easy to pack if you're on the move. Easy to use. I like all the features but special mentions: temperature sensor, wide range camera coverage (truly can pan to cover an entire room), and me personally, I'm happy it is not bluetoo...
VTech Video Baby Monitor, 5" LCD, Night Vision
This wrap was a life saver. Very breathable, long fabric, easy to use. I used it all the way through 6/7 months and stopped only because my baby no longer wants to stay in one singular position for too long.
Boba Baby Wrap Carrier – Original Sling (7–35 lbs)
Buy 1,000 of these! The fabric is amazing, and after so many washes they still maintain their original feel. Also, baby will go through so many of these without any care of your laundry plans.
Comfy Cubs Muslin Burp Cloths 20x10, Pack 10
Was looking for a “cheap” humidifier - this one does the job well and easy to use. Was definitely most helpful during my baby's first few months.
LEVOIT 2.5L Top Fill Cool Mist Humidifier
I received this as a gift for my baby shower, truly each item in the box was needed at some point in my baby's first 0-6m.
Little Remedies New Baby Essentials Kit
Just, yes. A baby's core temp is so sensitive to environment. This fan's battery lasts multiple uses and hours if used continuously.
Gaiatop Mini Portable Stroller Fan, 3 Speed
Again, the convenience, it's a worry free way to trim your baby's nails starting at 0m. Special mentions for this item: different trim pads based off age (their nails go from so brittle to hard), and LED light pointed at where you're trimming. A plus...
Baby Nail Trimmer 21 in 1 with Case & 13 Extras
THIS ITEM IS NOT TO BE PLACED ON BABY. I promote it as a way to keep baby items warm while you get baby ready. Examples, keeping a spot on the crib warm (great for transferring from a contact nap to crib), keeping their towel warm while you bathe the...
Electric Heating Pad for Pain Relief, 6 Settings (NOT TO BE USED ON BABY DIRECTLY)
