Items that you will absolutely want to add to your registry. This first time mama loved every single one of these and would purchase them again in a heartbeat 💗
Here is a list of some top baby items that I love and believe every mama and mama to be should have. Being a mom of 3 soon to be 4 I have definitely learned some things along the way, especially when it comes to what is needed and what's not so needed when having a baby. I've also learned throughout the years what products help make it easier for you to take care of your baby!

Breastfeeding comes with its own set of challenges, and finding the right nursing bra shouldn’t be one of them. When I first had my baby, I can't even tell you how many nursing bras I ordered and returned. It was SO hard to find one that fit just right, was comfortable, and that was easy to nurse in. A good nursing bra provides comfort, support, and easy access while preventing common issues like clogged ducts and discomfort. Whether you need something ultra-supportive, budget-friendly, or stylish enough to wear every day, I’ve rounded up the best nursing bras for every need.

As a first-time mum, I was overwhelmed when getting my baby’s bag ready. Confused on what goes in, choice of bag and all. But after much research, I came up with this list and now that my baby is 1+, I can confidently say, these items were my go-tos and also very useful. Curated, so you don’t have to. Whether it is for personal use or daycare, these items are a must-have for your baby’s bag.
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.
