Has a lot of good things to try if you’re new to parenting!
Great book for as they start into their “terrible twos”
Little Egg: A Book of Emotions for Toddlers
Another great, more in-depth book on emotions

Interactive and great for encouraging them when they are ready for potty training!

They love these!
Smily Mia Breastfed Baby Pacifiers & Teethers
Great for many uses including sterilizing and you can also use to dry bottles if you don’t think they need the sterilization every time :)
Great little projector. Lots of different little book sets available to buy for it. I use it to help settle down the little one before naptime or bed.
Story Dream Machine | Imaginative Play Toy for Kids

Best for any baby rash. In my personal opinion works better than diaper cream.

Way easy and less stressful!
haakaa Electric Baby Nail Trimmer Kit
Great to make sure the bath is just right!
b&h Baby Thermometer Bath Floating Toy
This is the first wipe warmer/only one I’ve found that has been easy to pull wipes out and they don’t get stuck inside. This had to be designed by someone who gets the wipe warmer struggle when you’ve got a squirmer with 💩 and the wipes get stuck in...
TinyBums Baby Wipe Warmer with LED nightlight - Jool Baby
Essential for life saving in case of any choking! Good to have around for safety.
LifeVac Home Kit - Portable Suction Rescue Device
I always thought these looked like they’d be uncomfy but it actually seems like newborns really love these! I think it is more similar to a nipple shape for them to soothe on lol
Shop Philips Avent Pacifiers & Soothie Snuggles
Must have for baby fussiness from gas!
MYLICON Infants Gas Relief Drops, Dye Free
Nursery
Awesome for all sorts of uses! Coverings are washable too :) Can use it for an extra nap spot, couch, forts, etc.

Great for multiple uses. You can use it as an extra changing area, an extra nap area, easy for traveling, and when a little older can use it as a ball pit too!

Seems better at holding the stench in than the diaper genie to me!

Babies get super dry so make sure you have one in their room and lotion them up good too!
Find Your Ideal Humidifier at Levoit
Best baby monitor I’ve seen! Smart camera that will alert you when baby wakes and give you all sorts of different alerts or info that you might want if you’re an anxious parent. Well worth the cost!
Smart Baby Monitor System
Good security cameras for low cost! Best for cost in terms of subscription as subscription isn’t necessary for alerts only but also low cost subscriptions available for upgraded options.

Super cute!
Rompers - Baby Boy - Hudson Childrenswear
Recently found some really cute boy clothes from this brand at Target! Love that the brand is woman owned as well :)
Grayson Collective : Baby Clothes : Target
Great swaddles to make putting baby down easier. Velcro ones are helpful to make them feel as though they are being held when in their crib or the winged ones are good if your baby doesn’t like the tighter swaddles and as they get bigger.
