Check out my list of favorite products that helped me tremendously after I gave birth to my daughter! This list focuses on care for mom mostly but also has products that are good for mom & baby.
My son started struggling with eczema right at 4 months. I was on a mission to help him through it by change our lifestyle and eating habits. With lots of patience, trial and error of many different products and focusing on our health in the kitchen I discovered the best things that worked for us.
The lotions were HUGE in keeping things calm so I used tubs of nearly all the lotions recommended. Switching to more sensitive focused products was key since we cosleep. Changing his clothes to more 100% cotton was essential. All these changes allowed me to rule out anything on the outside that could be irritating him while I focused on his health on the inside through quality nutrition.
All these things combined was the key to keeping him comfortable, flare-ups at bay. I hope these help you too! I completely understand the stress of the eczema journey.

I refuse to pay full price for clothes my kid will destroy in two weeks. These are the clearance scores I keep going back for whenever I spot them marked down.
As a first time mother with FBI level research skills, I've spent hours trawling the internet, reviews, scientific papers and reddit to figure out what to buy for my first born to make our first 6 months of parenthood as smooth as possible. In order to save other first time mums time, I've created a list of all the items we ended up buying after those late nights of research, and our reasons why.
First time mom here! I did EXTENSIVE research before having my baby on the best and most recommended products. I also prioritized nontoxic options. I only listed things here that we used regularly and did not include things that weren’t worth the space it took up. Hope this helps a future mom to be!

Montessori clicked for me when I stopped buying toys that perform and started buying ones that invite work.

We love learning in this family, but we also think learning should be through play, especially for little kids! Dont overthink it, just have FUN! This list is to help you find some ideas for more structures learning through play, but please know that little kids are always learning. *** Also, in preschool, I encourage you to incorporate a lot of sensory time, and movement.

Every weekday morning used to feel like a hostage negotiation — cereal too soggy, banana slices too thick, toast cut wrong. If you're a parent running on four hours of sleep trying to get food on the table before the school bus arrives, this is the lineup that finally made mornings survivable. Took me two years of burned toast and crying fits to figure this out so you don't have to.

Travel items that have changed the game for this mama! We did not anticipate being a traveling family, but our 2YO has now been to 10 different states and we already have plans for more! From the mountains of West Virgina to the beaches of Oahu, Hawaii, we've traveled by air and by land and have had much better experiences because of these items! We certainly identify as “scrunchy” but we also recognize that quality sleep and convenience while on the go can be a bit harder to achieve without some “less-crunchy” items. For us, a good night sleep and smooth travels are reasons to compromise on some alternative products. These are not things we use every day, but they make traveling a breeze.

I'm a former teacher and I compiled a list of versatile products worth investing in and free printables I sequenced these so your child can build their skills.
