Those early months with my baby there was one thing I quickly learned, it’s that while everything can feel overwhelming in the beginning, having the right essentials nearby makes all the difference. So, I made this list of the things I thought were necessary for 0–5 months based on my personal experience and rejecting those that didn’t really work for us as well as the items I wish we knew about since the beginning. These are things that actually made life easier — be it for new-mom sleep, feeding time, bath time or the early playing days — and nothing here is “just to fill out the list.”Within each category are the products that worked best for us: the items that helped provide peaceful sleep, stress-free feeding, easy bath time and developmental play that actually held my little one’s attention. I experimented with many other brands before I found what works, which is why my list is exactly what I would suggest to any new parent embarking on this journey! Whether you’re getting ready for an upcoming baby or just trying to make life easier with your new arrival, I’m hoping this list will help you feel more organized, confident and supported. Those initial months are all about emotion and discovery, not to mention a while lot of growth spurts, but with the right basics they can be a whole lot easier and pretty beautiful too.

Finding toys that reflect the full spectrum of human experiences has gotten so much easier in recent years, and it makes me ridiculously happy to see it! As a former teacher and now a parent, I know how powerful it is for kids to see themselves—and their friends—represented in the toys they play with. From dolls with cochlear implants, limb differences, and vitiligo to playsets that feature characters with disabilities, these toys help normalize diversity in a way that feels natural and joyful. Kids don’t just learn through books; they learn through play, and having options that reflect real people is such a game-changer.
What’s exciting is that these aren’t just niche products anymore—they’re showing up in mainstream toy aisles and big-name brands, making them easier to find than ever. Whether it’s a wheelchair for a favorite doll, a figurine with a visible disability, or a playset that includes a character with a mobility aid, these small details can make a huge impact. And honestly, I’m still discovering new ones right alongside you! If you’ve come across a favorite disability-inclusive toy, I’d love to hear about it. The more representation out there, the better!
