First time mama must reads
Great reads and blogs for moms of all lengths. We can all relate to on another in some way, shape, or form.
A great blog on being a first time mom. It’s not easy, and I find it helpful to read others stories, recommendations, and honestly just being able to feel together is helpful as a new parent.
The First-time Mom's Guide to Thriving, Not Just Surviving
This was great to have on hand when my son was smaller. Great recommendations for picky eaters, how to cut certain foods, and keep things healthy. All at the same time!

Bedtime Routine, made easy
All of my tried and true bedtime routine items I used as a first time mom. Some we still use now!
My son was in a sleep sack until he turned 3 and was transitioned to his “big boy bed”. The dreamland sleeps sacks are hands down the best. Good quality, cozy, and weighted.

This also was not on our registry. Friends that used it bought it for us, now we have this one and a smaller one for travel. You can set timers to have it play birdies when it’s time to wake up. Perfect for all ages of childhood.

All the milkiesss
I breast fed my son for 6 months and the switched to formula. These are all my favorite items we used and found super helpful and made this new mama feel at ease.
We used Philips Avent bottles the whole time my son was on a bottle. We breast fed until he was 6 months old and then switched to formula, these made the switch seamless.

I was pumping when I was at work. This was great item that ensure my milk was heated to the right temperature by grandma!
Baby Brezza Bottle + Breast Milk Warmer
Someone bought this for us (not on our registry) and it was so cute on the counter. We love plants in this house so it was perfect!
Boon Cacti Bottle Cleaning Brush Set - Brown & Green
I used these milk bags. They worked great and was able to freeze flat to save space.
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 Ct
A good, wearable, breast pump makes it easy to run around and do errands, or work, and not have to worry about taking time out of your day every two hours or so to pump. These were a literal life saver.

Car Needs, Must Haves, and Wants!
All my favorite items I keep stocked in my car. I like to feel prepared when going out on the road.
We honestly didn’t start out with this car seat. We had friends coming to visit that used it and our plan was to buy and then return…I feel in love with it and we just ate the cost 🤭 it’s a lifesaver and a back saver! And it grows with your child so...
