Feeding/Nursing
These are the only pacifiers my Squish likes after he stopped using the Avent Soothies
Philips AVENT SCF214/40 Ultra Soft Dummy 0-6M
Love that these come in two different sizes and with silicone covers to help protect the bottle.
Not as heavy as I thought (which was a reservation!) plus I feel better knowing the continuous washing and sterilizing of the bottle is shedding micro-...
Philips Avent Glass Natural Response Baby Bottle
Plushy and absorbent! 10 seems like a lot but you’ll def need more!
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths for Baby 10 Pack
Loungers/Carriers
I LOVE this carrier!
I’ve tried the Ergo, the K’tan wrap, the Moby wrap but this carrier was LIFE CHANGING! Squish is my 4th kiddo and I never felt comfortable wearing my first 3 with the other carriers! With this, I feel so secure and comfortable!
Aerial Buckle Baby Carrier - WildBird
Again - we LOVE the WildBird carriers. My husband uses this carrier (in black) and we love the fact that we could order one that would genuinely fit his size (6’2 and broad) without feeling constrained in a “one size fits all” carrier.
Aerial Buckle Baby Carrier
This is great for the first few months, especially when you’re soaking in the snuggles but want to keep the baby at arms length so do other things (like eat!)
Infant Loungers - Snuggle Me Organic
I have three of these bouncers (one at each grandparent house plus mine!). They are lightweight and collapsible, which is so helpful if you don’t have a lot of space (hello small SF house!)
BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss Sand Gray Woven
Don’t forget this attachment for your Baby Bjorn - love that it’s detachable to help make the bouncer more compact! Great entertainment and my older kiddos love to sit next to Squish and “play” with him!

Bath Time
All of my babies have bad cradle cap - loving this shampoo so far (month 3) in trying to keep it minimal!

Yoofoss Hooded Baby Towels 2 Pack Muslin
Comes with two hair scrubbers to help get a head start on the cradle cap. Love to pair this with my Medela body wash for Squish!
Frida Baby DermaFrida SkinSoother Bath Brush 2 Pack
Sleeping
We choose this bassinet after trying two others (Halo Swivel and another) and settled on this one due mainly for the mobility and it seemed to fit best in our SF home! Has adjustable height, space for diapers/wipes underneath and a locking mechanism ...
Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 Bassinet & Changing Table
Stock up on waterproof sheets - after having a boy after my two girls, I forget how far the stream can go during a diaper change!
2-pk Waterproof Bassinet Sheets Cotton 33x17
Accessories
Absolutely love this car seat cover - I got the All Seasons because we live in SF and the weather is different traveling to different parts of the city! I love the fleece insert, especially when I’m in a rush and forget a baby blanket! The cover is v...
Skip Hop All Seasons Baby Car Seat Cover 4-in-1
I have FOUR of these to make sure I never go without one. Great for walks or if you’re heading somewhere warm in the summer! I not just a good baby must have but good for ALL ages!
Misting Stroller Fan 6000mAh Portable 360°
Great diaper caddy with tons of pockets! I had another one before this but I like this one more due to the softer material and longer handles!
PUTSKA Baby Diaper Caddy Organizer - Grey
Cannot go without this over the door organizer. Great for storing all the “extras” that you inevitable have. This is also great if you’re on a space saver mission or don’t have tons of extra room for an entire baby nursery or dresser for baby items!
Criusia 6-Shelf Over Door Organizer, 13 Pockets
