The best baby wipes! They’re comparable in overall price to other nontoxic brands like Healthy Baby, Kudos, etc. These have worked great for us and our second baby!

Healthy Baby makes great nontoxic baby products we use and love! Our favorite to use is their diapers from birth through toddlerhood pull ups!

Highly recommend this grape cutter! It safely cuts the grapes for little ones to decrease the chances of choking!
Grape Cutter

When I first told my husband I wanted one of these instead of the standard mirror he didn’t really see a need, but to be honest, the camera with the infrared vision at night is so handy because you can still see baby. Versus with the mirror at night ...

Â
I loved using these various products with my first born babe! I have them on hand for my second too and will always use these over different pharmaceuticals! Highly recommend and love Dr. Talbots!!
Dr Talbot's
Â
A great tool to have as a mom to ensure an accurate gauge of temperature of littles within those first years of life! You have less risks using this one, negates its specifically designed for babies and is shorter for safety!
Frida Baby Digital Rectal Thermometer for Infant Temperature Readings ...
Â
I loved using these for my first born! They were great to put frozen chunks or breastmilk or frozen berries into to help with teething! If you formula feed you could totally mix up formula and place into trays to freeze, then put into the feeders. Bu...
Dr. Brown's Designed to Nourish, Fresh Firsts Silicone Feeder, Solid Food ...
Â
I loved taking this prenatal during my pregnancy, because I knew what was in it wasn’t synthetic but rather was all whole food based. I’ve continued to take it postpartum too and would highly recommend it to those trying to conceive, those pregnant, ...
Pure Synergy PureNatal®, Multivitamin For Mom & Baby, 120 Tablets
Â
I feel like this is something everyone should have in their home, along side all the other important items like a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, a fire extinguisher, etc. LifeVac or DeChoker are two brands of health vacuums that can be used ...
LifeVac Travel Kit Bundle
Â
LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They’re super soft and gentle on my baby’s skin. Highly rec!
Unnivoll Muslin Baby Washcloths 6 Pack, 12''X12''
Â
Truly incredible sleep sacks. Because they’re made with wool and cotton, they’re more temperature regulating than a sleep sack made with synthetic material. While they are a tad pricey, you do get more bang for your buck because they come in more ext...
Woolino 4 Season® Ultimate Baby & Toddler Sleep Sacks
Â
These are a dream compared to your standard nail clippers. With these you’re less likely to hurt baby. Which is a win win!
Dr. Talbot's Electric Nail Trimmer

This is way better than the Nose Frida! The Nose Frida was incredibly hard to use I thought, and a little gross, but this is easy and effective!
Electric Baby Nasal Aspirator Soothing Music & Light For Babies Infant Kids, Lightweight, Adjustable Suction & 3 Silicone Tips, USB-C Rechargeable
Â
This is our go-to laundry soap! We use it on all of our clothes, including our baby’s. It’s a subtle scent and the only “fragrance” in this particular scent is derived from essential oils. Keep in mind the frankincense one has fragrance AND essential...
Zum Laundry Soap - Lavender - 64 fl oz
Â
Love love love my Tula carrier! I got this exact one second hand, but I highly recommend it! It’s a grow with me style so it’ll last quite a while! It’s comfy too!
Baby Tula
Â
I love our Hatch sound machines we have. I have 2, one in each of my kiddos’ rooms. I keep it on “pink noise” like ocean waves or rainfall instead of white noise. But I’ve used since they were babies!
Hatch Sound Machine
Â
Love this as a bath tub seat for babies and young kiddos! I’ve used with both of my children. It’s easy to clean too, unlike some of the other styles!
Angelcare : Baby Bath Tubs & Seats
Â
This was truly so handy to have the first time we got Covid in our home when our first born was 6 months old. It gave us piece of mind as we battled that for the first time but also during other respiratory illnesses too!!
Dr. Talbot's Pulse Oximeter
Â
Once baby can hold their head up this comes in handy. I don’t love to just plop my babies in seats to contain them, because it restricts them exploring. However, mama needs to shower and baby needs to stay safe too. So once baby starts to roll on the...
Fisher-Price Sit-Me-up Floor Seat Portable
Â
I have used this soap on my babies since they were born and the one is already 4! I use unscented for itty bitty baby and the orange for my older kiddo. I love Earth Mama products because there’s no worry of toxins in the products, so I don’t worry a...
Earth Mama Simply Non-Scents Castile Baby Wash and Shampoo - 6.27 fl oz
Â
Such a seem less item, but a handy one at bath time!
Skip Hop Moby Waterfall Baby Bath Rinser - White
Â
This is so helpful to have for babies bath water and for young kiddos! As adults who like hot water, it’s hard to gauge how hot the water is until you use one of these. We have this exact one and it works great!
Famidoc Baby Bath & Room Thermometer Purple
For Postpartum & Nursing
Â
I have loved the nursing bras! They’re super easy to wear and use. I personally haven’t used the pumping versions, but the regular nursing ones have been a blessing so far in my 4.5 years total of breastfeeding!
Nursing Bras
Â
This helped my hair grow back a bit after postpartum hair loss!
Hair Spritz
Â
Okay, bear with me, but these are so so nice those first couple of weeks after having a baby! Being they’re organic, cotton, and unscented you don’t have to worry about bleach, fragrance, or toxins disrupting your body when recovering. Highly recomme...
Rael Organic Disposable Period Underwear for Women, Postpartum ...
Â
If you plan to breastfeed after having a baby I HIGHLY recommend taking this to help prevent clogs, which can inevitably lead to mastitis. It has helped me so much in my nursing journeys after having both of my babies!
Sunflower Lecithin - Natural Fat Emulsifier
Â
Loved having this after my first baby and now after my second! It helps nourish your nipples from nursing those first couple of months, helps chapped lips, and can even help with cradle cap!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter, Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding ...
Â
The Haakaa is such a blessing for breastfeeding moms! I have used it faithfully to catch my letdown on the opposite side I’m nursing on. It catches milk I would otherwise leak out into a bra or pad, so I’m able to freeze some this way!
Haakaa Silicone Pump
Â
This pump is great because whenever I needed to pump it was portable and effective at removing milk!
Spectra S1 Plus Portable & Rechargeable Hospital Strength Double Electric Breast Pump
The “Bigger” Purchases
Â
I love this “pack and play” because it’s nontoxic, which is something I strive for in all products in my home, but also because it is low to the ground without and legs. Without the legs, this makes it less worrisome about weight limits from baby.
Lotus Everywhere Travel Crib
Â
A fabulous jogging style stroller! We got with our firstborn and saved for our second. In the meantime a recall popped up and nearly the entire stroller was replaced! The large wheels make it incredibly easy to maneuver. Highly recommend!
Roam Stroller & Organizer Bundle
Â
We used this on our first babe and loved it for peace of mind, then decided to get another 4 years later for our second baby! While it might be a “luxury” item and not viewed as necessary to some, it truly helped me be able to catch a little shut eye...
