Baby’s Gotta Eat!
Splish Splash, Baby Baths
As a scrunchy mama, I spent a lot of time researching products for bath time. I wanted good quality, non-toxic items that could be reused and wouldn’t break the bank. So far, here is what we love and will keep using!
Love this brand! When shopping for baby bath products my number one priority was finding something that was non-toxic and gentle for my baby’s skin. So far, this product has been absolutely perfect. It’s made from almost entirely plant-based ingredie...
Baby Shampoo & Soap – Attitude
I just love everything from this brand! I was hesitant to use anything scented on my baby’s delicate skin (we’re using the pear scent right now), but this has proven to be no problem at all. The scent is delicate so it’s not overpowering, and the lot...
Baby Lotion - Attitude
Super soft! These hoodie-towels have quickly become one of our favorite products. They’re durable and absorbent, but also soft and slightly fluffy, so my baby is immediately comfy and cozy while we dry him off after bath time. They wash and dry well,...
3-Pack Muslin Hooded Baby Towels - Momsnug
We don't have a bathtub in our house, so this is perfect! Big enough that we'll be able to use it until he's much bigger, but not so big that it's overwhelming for a newborn. The inserts make it easy to adjust the tub based on babies size. Super easy...

Diaper Butts
We spend a lot of time cleaning our baby’s butt, so might as well make sure we’re making it a little easier! Here are some products I love right now, and I’ll keep curating this list as he gets older and our diaper butt needs change.
Just buy 2 right now…it’s that good! I absolutely love this diaper cream. I notice an improvement after just one application, and sometimes that’s all we need to eliminate the start of diaper rash. It’s smooth, easy to apply and wipe clean, plus it’s...
Diaper Cream – Attitude
I wish we would have bought one of these first, instead of trying another bag-less diaper pail. It holds the stink in, it’s easy to empty, and the sleek finish helps it blend into the nursery easily. After just a few weeks with a different branded pa...
Diaper Pail - Diaper Genie
This is one of those things that my husband and I couldn’t understand why it was pricier than all the others, but now we know why. Because it’s AWESOME. My husband comments all the time how amazing it is, and I don’t disagree. It’s soft, fits nicely ...
Peanut® Changer Wipeable Diaper Changing Pad
Handy Dandy Gadgets for Baby
Sometimes you don’t even know you need something until you see it! This list is full of things that just make life easier with a baby.
I had no idea baby nails grew so quick and they could scratch themselves so easily. So glad I have this nail buffer. I keep it right next to his nap area and buff his nails down while he’s asleep. It’s super gentle and easy to use, which completely r...
Electric Nail Buffer – Frida Baby
Gotta get those boogers out! I keep this electric nose sucker handy at all times. It’s easy to use and has multiple strength settings, plus two different size attachments depending on nostril size. I love the little case it comes in too, so I never h...
Electric Snot Sucker - Frida Baby
I was not convinced this would work so well, but it really does! Even if I don’t treat something right away, it still works like magic. It’s also made with gentle ingredients so I’m not worried about using it on my baby’s clothes. I love it so much t...
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray
Just Keep Playing
The sweetest personalized books! I ordered one for my own baby, and another for my 2 year old nephew who is going to be a big brother soon. They’re excellent quality and easy to personalize. You can even write a little note to be included. These book...

Baby’s Gotta Eat!
Worth. Every. Penny. I do not have the time or the desire to be handwashing and sanitizing bottles all day. I’d much rather be chillin with my little guy, so I’m glad we have this. It’s super easy to use. Just separate the bottle parts, load them up,...
Bottle Washer - Momcozy
I LOVE these bottles, and my baby took to them right away. They’re durable, easy to wash, and a have a built-in vent system to help prevent gas and colic. Plus, no microplastics so that scrunchy mama gives them an A+!
Balance + Glass, Wide Neck Baby Bottles
I use my Momcozy bottle washer almost exclusively, but I love these if i just need a quick clean for a bottle. I actually use these a ton for washing my water bottles, cups, coffee mugs, etc. I always keep a few on hand so I can replace them every fe...
Everything you need for when your baby starts eating solids. This starter set is completely non-toxic and is dishwasher safe. The cup can be used at multiple stages, and the plate and bowl have suction cups on the bottom so baby can’t toss their dish...
6pc First Bites Set - Lalo
I always keep a bottle of this on hand! It’s easy to give to baby and provides great relief for their gassy tummies. I only wish I had tried it sooner, now I even keep a bottle in the diaper bag!
