Stop wasting money on baby gadgets you'll use once. 🙅♀️ This is my ride-or-die list of baby products that I truly couldn't have survived without. Spoiler alert: It's a short list!
Also let me be super upfront
I am NOT putting diapers, wipes, or bag bottles on here.
Why? Because EVERY baby is different. I mean it. Your first baby might love Avent bottles but your second refuses them.
Your first baby might love get rashes with Huggies but the second can only be able to wear Huggies. So be mindful.
My recommendation for those is don’t buy too many of just One brand. If you want to stock up , try a few of each.
That way you don’t waste all your money if baby ends up not being able to use certain products.
