Absolutely no regrets with the Orbit Baby stroller, car seat, and bassinet insert! We love the ability to rotate all the inserts 360 degrees in the stroller and the car seat base
G5 Stroll, Lounge, & Ride Travel System
Would recommend this to every family! One of our top purchases and not just for bottles; I put pacifiers, toys, even my glass coffee straws!
Grownsy EaseClean Pro Bottle Washer & Sterilizer
We have this right next to our Grownsy bottle washer and our bottle organizer; love how much you can fit on this; everything seems to dry quickly and the bottom does not retain moisture
Boon Lawn Drying Rack with 2 Twig Accessories - Gray & White | Babylist Shop
Hands down one of the best purchases we made right out of the hospital; we don’t use this as a bed side sleeper, we use it to have baby close to us at all times in a safe space and be able to move her around as needed especially because I had an emer...
Fodoss Bedside Bassinet with Wheels & Storage
This has been a game changer with our newborn; we put her in it at the dining table while we’re eating or push her around to different rooms
Minla 6-In-1 High Chair
If you prefer Amazon
Maxi-Cosi Minla 6-in-1 Foldable High Chair
BIBS are by far her favorite pacifiers; we tried A LOT
BIBS Boheme Pacifiers Set of 2, 0-6M
More BIBS that are not glow in the dark; we like the Boheme
BIBS Boheme Pacifiers 2 Pack BPA Free 0-6M
I have one attached to diaper bag and stroller bag; it’s nice to not have to take space in the bags for pacifiers; I like that this is see-through and compact; I fit about three pacifiers and a pacifier clip
Itzy Ritzy Clear Pacifier Case with Clip Strap
Living in FL, I needed something to help baby cool down in the bassinet stroller and this has been my favorite; I also have the Mom Cozy stroller cooling mat but like this one better
Kidco Buggygear Cooling Gel Mat for Strollers
One of my favorite post-hospital purchases; I use this for long travel/out and about days and I use it for formula storage when running errands; I don’t always bring the large canister and cooling pieces as the formula stays very cold in the small ca...
Papablic 360° CapsuleChill Breastmilk Cooler 20oz
We take this with us everywhere; has a long battery life and a strong hold/easy to maneuver or change positions
Momcozy Portable Stroller Fan
This was so handy right out of the hospital; I like the hard top surface too for drinks/snacks/phone/etc.
Modanais Baby Diaper Caddy Organizer Cart
If you’re looking for high quality and long lasting, these are truly the best
Official Website | ARTIPOPPE | Shop The Full Collection
So far this has been great and we haven’t experienced markings on our seats like other covers
Meolsaek Waterproof Car Seat Protector Tan
Single. Easy. Works.
TAZENI Baby Car Mirror with Stable Hook Clip
I looked at several stroller caddy’s and this was by far my favorite; the handles fit any stroller and the longer strap is nice when you’re running out the door or I use it for outdoor picnics
Convertible Stroller Caddy Crossbody in Black
We’ve used this since she was born; it’s so easy and gentle; much better than clipping!
Momcozy Electric Baby Nail File - Low Noise
We use it for tummy time and in her play pen; if you’re looking for a lounger, then highly recommend this one due to the updated safety design
snuggle me® Baby Lounger Curve - Organic Cotton
Another basic recommendation, but these are great to have on hand; we also use them over her bath in the bathtub to help her be more comfortable; I’ve laid them on the top part where her shoulders and head are of the Keekaroo changing pad to help wit...
Muslin Swaddle Blankets 3 Pack, 38x40, Soft
A friend recommended/sent this to us and it’s fantastic; perfect for the days baby doesn’t take a bath; smells amazing
Mustela No-Rinse Micellar Water for Babies
The best onesies from Kyte Baby; we really like everything from Kyte the material is so soft and stretchy so the sizes fit for awhile
Bodysuit in Chamomile
We love Kyte Baby in general; the Kimono onesie is so easy and soft; this style is nice especially for newborns so you’re not having to pull up or down over head
Pointelle Kimono Bodysuit in Spray Rose
We love this little Warmie for a few different reasons; my baby has bad CMPA and reflux, the weight and warmth on her tummy helps her a lot and relieves fussiness; also, as she’s gotten older and harder to drift to sleep, we put this on her side and ...
Sloth - My First Warmies
Someone recently asked about our nursery rocker so I’m adding here; This rocks, swivels, reclines, has auto adjustable head and foot rests; I am smaller/shorter and this was the only rocker I tried where I could actually touch the floor while rocking...
Ryder Beige Micro Power Swivel Glider Recliner,
Feeding
Favorite bottles! They sort of form to her and have worked for her since she was born.
NUK Perfect Match 2-in-1 Anti-Colic Bottle 5oz 2 Pack
Our 2nd favorite bottles; we used the xs flow first and moved to s when she was about a month old as she is quite aggressive with feeds
Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles, 5oz, 4ct
We love this size bottle; would recommend the xs size nipple for newborns
Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles 2oz 2ct XS
This has been my favorite formula pitcher; My baby is on a special formula and we have two of these (green & black) to ensure a pitcher is filled at all times in the fridge
Dr. Brown's Baby Formula Pitcher 36oz Olive
A MUST HAVE! We didn’t want to do the bottle warmer because I didn’t want to heat plastic bottles, get hot spots, or have a hot bottle with cold milk; this thing has been amazing; we use it both at home and on the go
Papablic Pro Portable Bottle Warmer, 5 Temps, Mint
This was great when I was learning to nurse/nursing; I used it a lot when she was first born and I do think some sort of boppy pillow is needed for those early days; now I use it under one of my arms when I bottle feed
Boppy Boppy x Babylist Nursing Pillow with Luxe Fabric Cover - Oatmeal Quilt | Babylist Shop
Diapering
These were our favorite newborn diapers

Use this every day as diaper barrier/protection cream; the best!

Good to keep at the diaper station and throw in bag on-the-go
Baby Diaper Cream Spatula Set with Cases
Totally worth it! Super easy to clean and love how thick it is with large size to help contain baby

We keep these in diaper bag, stroller, and diaper station; I keep one at home in the diaper station in case of blowouts and to help contain smelling up the diaper pail
Ubbi Retractable Diaper Bag Dispenser, 48 Bags, Gray 2 Pack
This bundle is awesome and a bang for your buck; not to mention we have really liked this so far; very good at containing smells!
Diaper Genie Platinum Stainless Steel Diaper Pail Gift Set - Sage Green | Babylist Shop
A staple in our diaper bag; love that it’s portable, the changing station is detachable, easy to clean, just perfect; it’s nice when we are out and don’t have to take the whole diaper bag with us to change her
Skip Hop Portable Baby Changing Pad Pronto
Basic but essential; we did not go for the wipe warmer because we wanted her to be used to cold wipes
OXO Tot Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser, Gray
Best ingredient wipes on the market (just water and fruit extract); we used these when she was first born but also always keep these in her diaper bag/on-hand as they are the only wipes I will also clean her face/body with when needed
WaterWipes Sensitive+ Baby Wipes, 240 Ct (4)
Specifically the 99% water wipes, NOT the sensitive wipes (those made my daughter red and irritated); the 99% water wipes are the best and most cost effective, soft grippy wipe for when they are over 1 month old; I tried a ton of wipes and my priorit...
Millie Moon 99% Pure Water Baby Wipes - 576ct: Whole Body, Diaper Area, Unscented
Sleeping
This one is controversial, but my husband and I are soooo happy with this bassinet/crib; she’s always been a pretty good sleeper and I contribute a lot of that to this!
Cradlewise Smart Crib
This ended up being the best egg light I found and we love it! The remote is nice to have when in bed and not close to it.
Baby Night Light for Kids, 10 Colors & Brightness
I know the Hatch is super popular, we never tried it because we love this so much; it has different white noises, nature sounds, lullabies, the shhh sound and the battery lasts a long time; we use both at home and on the go; we sometimes also use sou...
Sprucely Travel Sound Machine | Babylist Shop
We tried so many swaddles and this was by FAR our favorite newborn swaddle especially living in Florida!
Gray Temperature Regulating Baby Swaddle - Newborn | HALO
Once my girl started getting more wiggly in her sleep (for her it was around 1.5 months) this sleep sack was a life saver; we had the newborn size and then got the small size when she was about 8 lbs, but then she started knocking her paci out of her...
Swaddle Up Original Gray
Once my girl was ready for a sleep sack (which was pretty early around 2.5 months), this was the best one we tried; I also have the Halo Ideal Temp sleep sack because we loved the swaddle and it is way too light for her right now; As a backup, I reco...
Dream Weighted Sleep Sack
Bath Time
We have been using this since her first bath and she loves it; very easy to use; I think it’s less shocking than dumping water
Yookidoo Baby Bath Shower Head Elephant Pump
The only little bath we have tried but we really like it so far
Angelcare Baby Bath Support Gray - Under 6 Months
This was on our registry and we are so glad; we really like these products especially the all over ointment (it helped with her baby acne) and hair/body wash that
Tubby Todd Newborn Gift Set - Lavender & Rosemary | Babylist Shop
THE softest washcloths ever! We use for bath but also for diaper changes to help her get dry before diaper
6-Pack Bamboo Baby Washcloths, Soft & Absorbent
Small size which is perfect for both bath and room tell; we like the color changing feature

Best soap for baby stuff! Gets milk residue right off

Works better than the bulb for us

This is the case + extras for the Nose Frida
Frida Baby NoseFrida Case + Refills Kit
We have large hand sanitizer bottles, but these are nice to have throughout the house and in diaper bag/purse for on-the-go
4-Pack Lavender Hand Sanitizer Spray Travel
I use these to wipe down all our surfaces; I also use this on our keekaroo diaper changing pad
Dapple Baby All Purpose Wipes, Lavender, 30ct x2
A friend shared this with me and so glad she did; it’s perfect for quick sterilization and travel!
Dr. Brown's Silicone Microwave Steam Sterilizer Bag
This bundle has laundry + on the go spot treatments; we’ve found this works better than tide pens
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater 16oz Spray & 2 Pens
This was so nice to have as a full kit! We put everything into a smaller bag and take it with us everywhere we go in the diaper bag; it’s been so helpful to have these things on hand; we have since grown our “emergency kit” but highly recommend this ...
Babylist Baby First Aid & Grooming Kit | Babylist Shop
Play
My daughter lovessss this; I set it up over the Maxi Cosi high chair so she looks at it while she’s sitting in there; also good toy for tummy time
Black & White High Contrast Baby Toys 0-6M
Great size and started using around 2 months old for playtime/tummy time; we have this setup in our living room and I really like having the dedicated space for her play in a main room
Sweeby Baby Playpen 59x59 Inch Foldable Gate
We put this in her playpen on top of the harder elephant mat (both are also linked); it’s very soft and comfortable; we really enjoy this setup
Blissful Diary 59x59in Baby Play Mat
*I have a different mat* I do not have experience with this specific one as the one I have is not sold anymore, however, I’m adding this here because a foam mat under our soft one in her play pen has been a really great setup for us
TINYHARBO Foam Baby Play Mat 59x59, Washable
This went viral for a reason; we took it apart and use the different components of the mat, toy bar, and piano; we put the toy bar near her BabyBjorn bouncer and she loved kicking it
Fisher-Price Kick & Play Piano Gym Navy Fawn
This is the only bouncer I’ve tried and she seems to love it; we love the safety features and machine washable cover; we also have the BabyBjorn wooden toy that you can put on the edges of the bouncer, but honestly I don’t think it’s worth the extra ...
BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Beige/Gray
This was the best little starter bundle for her bookshelf!
Macmillan Baby Starter Library Book Box | Babylist Shop
A friend got this for us and I’m so glad she did! My baby loves exploring it and keeps her occupied for quite a long time
Taggies Touch & Feel Soft Cloth Book Dog
A friend got this for our girl and she’s been obsessed with it! We take it with us on walks and outings and also put it over her rolling bassinet at home sometimes; it definitely keeps her interest for long periods of time
XIXILAND Baby Spiral Plush Toy Black White
Nanit Baby Monitor
This is the bundled system we have and love it! We like the floor stand to be able to move it when we need to. Great quality and peace of mind.
