This pillow is amazing for both nursing and tummy time. It’s a two for one!
Boppy Nursing Pillow
Absolute game changer for tummy time. I set him up on his boppy and he is mesmerized by this for his tummy time!

These are great for babies, especially between 0-6 months with their high contrast. The hard cards and accordion cards keep baby very entertained during tummy time.

Great probiotics, especially for baby that may have colic. Five drops every day, and helps baby with gas. We love this!

These are especially important for exclusively breastfed babies! One drop daily.

One of our preferred low tox baby wipes!

OEKO TEK plant based diapers. We love these! Absorbable, soft, and comfortable.

This is amazing as well. I alternate this with earth mama diaper balm to soothe baby’s bottom.

I keep one of these at every diapering station, and they’re extremely helpful. Especially when you’re on your own, having both hands free without having baby on a changing table or somewhere may be impossible to wash your hands. Always helps to have ...
Babyganics Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer
Sanitizing
Items to sanitize the home, body, and clothes daily.
I use this even as a hand sanitizer for my sweet baby, it’s hypochlorous acid and it really helps sanitize and disinfect without harsh chemicals.
Active Baby Spray
This hypochlorous acid can be used to disinfect surfaces and works great with a fogger
BRIOTECH Pure Hypochlorous Acid Cleanser
This is best paired with the hypochlorous acid disinfectant for all surfaces, including door knobs, tables, and toys!
Disinfectant Fogger
Sleep
Best items that have improved baby’s sleep.
This humidifier is amazing to help keep baby’s airway moist. This helps support sleep and ease any congestion.
3-in-1 Humidifier – Frida | The fuss stops here.
These have helped prevent baby’s hair from falling out due to friction on his mattress. We love these!

Boppy Nursing Pillow
This is the absolute best nipple cream. It helps keeps baby’s lips hydrated and it feels like butter!
The Best Organic Nipple Cream
This is my go-to portable breast pump. I love the heated feature on this and it helps empty me just as good as my spectra. Remember to size your flanges appropriately! I have flange inserts for mine.
eufy Wearable Breast Pump S1 Pro | Hospital-Grade
These are great, I use them for my Eufy S1 portable pumps and my spectra flanges to get the best output. I love that it comes with a nipple chart to measure.
Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit 3-in-1 with 10PCS Inserts
This is the GOAT! It’s somewhat portable in the sense you don’t have to plug in to the wall at all times with its battery. I alternate between this and my Eufy. Make sure you check your insurance benefits, they usually cover one pump!
Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump
These are amazing for my spectra!
Maymom Spectra Flanges
These bottles have my baby’s preferred nipple shape! I love that they’re glass so it’s extremely helpful to put in the bottle warmer without fear of plastic chemicals seeping into baby’s milk.
Philips Avent Glass Natural Response Baby Bottle
Even though these are plastic, the nipple shape is absolutely fantastic. It allows for phenomenal latch, especially to babies that are still on the boob.
Evenflo Proflo Baby Bottle
This is the GOAT at nighttime. It makes bottles the perfect temperate with slow heating to preserve the nutrients in breast milk.
