Itzy Ritzy Breastfeeding Boss - Taupe Checkerboard | Babylist Shop
I had a C-section 14 years ago and this would have came in handy. Especially having the built in cool and heat pak. Adjustable belt and material is comfortable.

I can't imagine how much this would have helped after my 2nd c-section and have #2under2 in 2013
Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro - White | Babylist Shop
If I had gotten the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Harmony “way back then”, I would have benefited quite a lot. It likely would have made my parenting days smoother, more mobile, more comfortable — blending the demands of modern life (work, mobility, style) ...
Baby Carrier Harmony with Padded Back Support
This was helpful to determine what type of bottle our baby preferred and which was best overall. Then we were able to purchase the one that worked best for us.

Instead of tiptoeing into the nursery 20 times a night to check if my baby was breathing, I could’ve had peace of mind (and maybe a little more sleep).

My 1st born was colic
For every parent navigating the storm of colic — you’re not alone, and it does get better.
#IYKYK... This would have been thee best feeling nursing bra I owned. The straps seem comfortable and it offers full coverage. The back strap is thick and doesn’t slide up.

The surprise I didnt see coming. A bottle of rooibos tea eased the cramps
Bigelow Lemon Ginger Plus Probiotics Herbal Tea Bags - 18ct
As a first-time mom who had a colic bany for 20 months, I’d say yes—this product I definitely would have tried. It ticks many of the boxes: comfortable latch, anti-air venting, good quality material. But don’t expect it to solve colic overnight. The ...

GoldBug Duo Car Seat Head Support and Strap Cover - Car Seat Insert for Baby - Rainbow
My recommendation for setup/use
At home (Rest +): Use it to establish a routine: e.g., light changes + sound at bedtime, maybe a “wake-up” colour in the morning. The light + sound combo is what many parents say helped significantly.

LOVE this car seat, it is so comfortable based on touch but also my goddaughter loves it. The color is also super pretty. Overall will be a great car seat into toddlerhood.

Worked Great for cousin as a working and busy mom of now three girls. She didn't mind the look when using the pump although with some outfits you can definitely tell.
Momcozy M5 Hands-Free Wearable Electric Breast Pump Set
I love the different varieties and brands that's in this box. You'll be sure to find at least one or two of these that your child will love and will help soothe during teething. It's also a great idea for a gift!
Babylist Teether Box | Babylist Shop
Super easy to use on the whole family. Love that it has settings for baby, child, and adult. Gave us a lot of peace of mind to be able to gently check her temperature as a newborn.
