If your kid treats every product like a crash test dummy and you're tired of replacing things every three months — this is the list I built after two years of chaos. For parents who need stuff that actually holds up when a tiny human is actively trying to destroy it. Took me a lot of broken bottles and shattered expectations to narrow it down.

My essentials for a new baby. I am a mom of an autistic 3 year old and a 20 month old (both boys). This is everything that got me through the hard parts. Also, it really does get better! So from one mom to another, hang in there! Sleep WILL come eventually.

The best items for 0-18 months. Everything you need to get before baby arrives.

I was a mom who exclusively pumped after 4 months of intermittent BF. These definitely made that easier.

One of the downsides to being a stay at home mom is not receiving arts and crafts from my kids’ daycares or schools since they don’t attend it. But thankfully, I’ve had years of experience working with kids of all ages and prepping arts and crafts for them! Here are some fun and creative activities to do with your little ones, ranging from ages newborn all the way up to middle/high school (if they aren’t too cool of course) for holidays, seasons and just because. P.s. I will add more crafts as time passes. This list is not 100% complete just yet.

Finding the right stroller is easier when you compare how it fits your everyday life. I picked 30 options across budgets: everyday full-size strollers, lightweight travel strollers, jogging models, double strollers, expandable designs, and complete travel systems. Compare Graco, Inglesina, CYBEX, UPPAbaby, Stokke, Bugaboo, Silver Cross, Nuna, Joolz, Chicco, Evenflo, BOB, and Thule. My notes highlight weight, fold, seating, storage, newborn setup, and whether an infant car seat or extra seat is included. I love having both practical budget picks and stylish premium options in one shortlist.

All of my essentials from my exclusive pumping journey that I have personally used and LOVED

If you know, you know. If you’re a sports parent of multiple kids, different ages, you might have a younger child that goes completely feral when all you would love to do is sit and watch the game, practice, meet, match, etc. They always find the dirt, the biggest stick, the one lone puddle, get their foot stuck in the fence, find a cat turd they find fascinating… the possibilities are endless. These are all items that I have found to be useful and helpful in keeping just a little bit of my sanity intact.

I’m not a crunchy mom, but I’m not a smooth(?) mom either. I prefer only a few battery operated toys if any, but I’m not going to stop my child from getting down with his DJ Table. These are toys that my one year old has really enjoyed so far!

A curated list of mama and baby items to support postpartum and nursing needs

All of the items on this list were used for a recent baby shower. Some items were bought new other repurposed from previous events. You can mix and match some of the ideas to fit your event space! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have regarding any item on the list.

Preparing for a baby can feel overwhelming, but focusing on the basics makes it a lot easier to get started without overbuying. At the top of the list are feeding essentials, which you’ll use constantly from day one. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or doing a mix of both, having a good supply of bottles, burp cloths, and bibs makes life much smoother. A bottle brush and drying rack also come in handy for keeping everything clean, especially during those frequent middle-of-the-night feeds. Sleep is another big priority, since newborns spend most of their time resting. A safe sleep space like a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and fitted sheets is essential. Many parents also rely on swaddles or sleep sacks to help babies feel secure and sleep more comfortably. A baby monitor can give you peace of mind, letting you keep an eye on your little one while they’re in another room. Diapering quickly becomes part of your daily routine, so having everything ready ahead of time is a must. You’ll need diapers in a couple of sizes since babies grow fast, along with wipes and a good diaper cream to help prevent irritation. A changing pad makes diaper changes easier and more hygienic, whether you’re at home or setting up a small changing station. A diaper pail or covered trash bin is also helpful for controlling odor. Bath and hygiene items don’t need to be complicated, but they do need to be gentle. A baby bathtub, soft washcloths, hooded towels, and mild baby soap are usually all you need for the first several months. Tiny nails grow fast too, so baby nail clippers or a file are important to keep scratches under control. Clothing-wise, simple basics like onesies, sleepers, socks, and a few seasonal layers will cover most situations without overfilling the dresser. Finally, a few extras can make daily life a little easier when you need your hands free. An infant car seat is non-negotiable for safe travel, and a stroller or travel system helps when you’re out and about. Items like a baby swing, bouncer, or pacifiers can be helpful for soothing, depending on what your baby likes. You don’t need everything at once, but starting with these essentials helps you feel prepared without going overboard.

We live in a small house and have two littles so we have to be smart about what we buy. This is my personal list of the all-time favorites products and gear I’ve actually used, loved, and would recommend to any new parent. From the gear that saved my sanity during midnight feedings to the soothing must-haves my babies adored, these are the items I’d buy again without hesitation. Many are nontoxic and organic!

Quelques références de qualité pour prendre autant soin de bébé que de maman.

Tantrums during transitions?! Time is a human construct and not something kids just naturally understand. Toddlers often need help conceptualizing time and they WANT to know what's coming next!!?

As a Physical Therapist, I am pretty particular about what shoes my children wear and what types of shoes I recommend to my clients. Barefoot is ALWAYS best when a baby is learning to pull to stand, cruise, and walk, and this is also true for toddlers as they learn to do more advanced gross motor skills like run/jump. But obviously kids can't be barefooted all the time – so here is a compilation of shoes I recommend most. I try to update this with changes in seasons and as my favorite brands release new products, but in general these are the things I look for: 1) wide toe box (where the toes go!), 2) supportive heel cup, 3) flexible sole (you should be able to bend the shoe in half!)

This list is my go to guide for a more comfortable, supported, and feel good pregnancy 🤍 This curated collection is filled with mama approved essentials designed to ease common pregnancy discomforts—think back pain relief, better sleep support, nausea remedies, and everyday must haves that help you feel your best and support your little love.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully selected items that prioritize both mom’s comfort and baby’s well being —because you deserve to feel good while growing your little one.
