A list of toys that stand the test of time. Some are an investment, but some won't break the bank, and they will all be played with for years - not just a few weeks!

As a first time mom I consulted a lot of friends and family before creating my registry. Even though I had a very solid list I had an urgent C-section which none of my friends or family had a c-section so I have product recommendations for both based on experiences from women in all walks of life! Also as someone who STRUGGLED to get their baby to latch and ended up exclusively pumping even though I swore up and down I would exclusively breastfeed I was humbled very quickly when my baby had a tongue tie and jaw tightness that didn’t allow him to easily latch! I worked with an IBCLC for week and a speech language pathologist for our son to work through his latch issues and body tightness! It was a long 8 weeks before I decided to go to solely pumping for ease of going back to work. While my dreams of breastfeeding never took off I do have so many product recommendations for pumping and keeping your sanity.
