Everyday Must Haves
Love my mini bag! Perfect for the essentials (keys, hand sanitizer, cards, etc…), plus a few diapers and wipes. Perfect for running errands when an entire diaper bag isn’t necessary.
Higton
We love our 360! No more tossing the car seat in its base and hoping for the best. Cup holders are a lifesaver and hold either bottles or sippy cups. Can’t believe it took so long to get one!
Rotating Convertible Car Seat
Loved using a protector under the car seat to avoid unnecessary damage to my vehicles leather seats. Definitely not something you think of when creating your registry, but well worth the purchase!
Meolsaek Waterproof Car Seat Protector 600D
My toddler is a pro when it comes to eating out, but it wasn’t until he was exclusively eating solids that I realized how long restaurants take to bring food. Hence the lunch box. Every time we eat out, my son has his lunch box. That way he can begin...
Fimibuke Kids Bento Lunch Box Set with Bottle
Traveling with Littles ✈️
Absolute life saver when traveling and no high chair was available. Compact enough to pack in luggage!
OmniBoost Travel Booster Seat
I about died when Lolli bought this but it has become an everyday staple and a traveling essential. We love being able to watch downloads from Disney+ or Sesame Street episodes from HBO Max to watch while offline. Our longest road trip has been 5 hou...
Kids Tablet
Bottles & Feeding 🍼
As a mama that couldn’t breastfeed (no matter how hard I tried 😢) this was an absolute lifesaver. I had one in the kitchen and a second in the upstairs bathroom next to the nursery for those late night feeding sessions. Could not recommend this enou...
Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced Dispenser
Cannot say enough about my love for Dr. Brown bottles! After having a severe case of colic, these were the only bottles that seemed to prevent further fussiness. Started with the 4oz, transitioned to the 8oz, and finally moved to Dr. Brown straw cups...
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic Bottle 8oz
Trying to transition from using to a bottle to using cups was not easy. Especially with my stubborn boy. The number of cups purchased was out of control, until we found these. They come in a 2-pack that allows for a designated milk and water cup and ...
Dr. Brown's Milestones Insulated Sippy Cup 2-Pack
I am a huge advocate for bibs. Have you seen the cost of baby clothes? We had so many bibs, my son could go a month without repeating. The muslin bibs were soft, yet durable, and came in a ton of colors to coordinate with any outfit!
Tatuo 10pcs Cotton Muslin Baby Bibs Set
Sleeping 😴
These gowns are a must for when you’re first home from the hospital. Newborn is warm and cozy but easy access for mama for the never ending diaper changes throughout the night. 10/10 for sure!
Hudson Baby Cotton Long-Sleeve Sleeping Bag
These swaddles were a game changer! With a Houdini that could break out of all other swaddles, these made the process of swaddling so easy and he finally started getting some quality sleep. Nothing beats the “Swaddled Stretch” every morning. IYKYK 🥰
Happiest Baby Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle - Organic Cotton (Midnight Planets, Medium)
My son was an absolute trash sleeper. He got accustomed to sleeping with vibration when he was a newborn sleeping in his bassinet. This helped in the transition from bassinet to crib. We used it so frequently, I bought a second one to keep in his pac...
SwaddleMe Soothe & Vibe Sound Machine
Nursery 🩵
When deciding on my nursery decor, I wanted something unique and out of the norm. The green of this crib set is absolutely gorgeous and fits right in my son’s “Gentlemen’s Lounge” nursery. It’s well made but doesn’t break the bank, which is always a ...
Clover 4 in 1 Modern Island Crib
My son has been sleeping exclusively in his crib since he was 6 weeks old. At nearly 2.5, this mattress is still holding strong and he loves his crib. So happy with this purchase and the best part is it will transition to his toddler bed when we’re r...
Dream On Me Baby Zzz 5” Full-Size Crib Mattress
Huge fan of muslin versus cotton for my son’s crib. These sheets have held up wonderfully for over two years and are so soft and cozy still today. Love them so much, I plan on getting the matching pillow when he transitions to a toddler bed.
Blissful Diary Muslin Crib Sheets 2 Pack
Totally dig a matchy matchy set. These coordinate perfectly with the crib sheets and give a high end look and feel without the high end price tag.
Blissful Diary Muslin Changing Pad Cover 2Pack
Was gifted this organizer before my son was born and were still using it! Compact but spacious at the same time. Diaper section is wide enough to hold a stack of daytime and nighttime diapers, which is a must for this mama. Plan on using this as long...
Nursery Organizer and Diaper Caddy
Absolutely love this 5 in 1 humidifier. Connects to Bluetooth to play music, has a built in diffuser for essential oils, and acts as a nightlight. Best bang for your buck!
Hubble Mist
These are absolutely amazing! Was gifted these by a mama friend and so glad I was. Especially with a baby boy! IYKYK So easy to throw in the washing soiled and prevents from having to change the changing pad cover after every single accident.
Munchkin Waterproof Changing Pad Liners, 3 Count
Bathing/Grooming 🛁
While I didn’t use this when my son was a newborn, we did use it until he was over a year old. Love the ease of using the tub and how easy it was to clean. Loved it so much I gifted it to my sister in law when she was expecting her first!
4-in-1 Grow-With-Me Bath Tub - Frida
This is where my newborn had his first bath at home. Soft, cozy, and the wings keep them warm as they’re still acclimating to life on the outside. So easy to clean the cover in the washing machine and replace. Loved it so much I have gifted it twice ...
Boon Puff+ Inflatable Baby Bather w/ Cover
Love this kit. Comes with all essentials needed. 2+ years later, still use several of the products and take the bag on every trip as a travel medicine kit.
Safety 1st Deluxe Baby Healthcare Kit, Blue
This set is still going strong after 2+ years! My little one loves “Scuba Steve” so much, we bought a second one to play with in the pool!
Munchkin Baby's First Bath Gift Set
Toys & Entertainment 🧸
This bouncer was an absolute lifesaver, especially at meal time. We could place it on the table and let him bounce and play while we ate! My little one loved his bouncer and it was more affordable than other options. Let’s just say, my nephew has the...
Bright Starts™ Bouncers & Rockers
Hear me out. I know some folks say these are bad for babies hips, but what doesn’t come a caution warning nowadays? My son loved jumping and it kept him contained and secure to allow me to get some things done. That’s a win in my book!
