Sippy cups
These were all featured in a video I did on YouTube. They are also featured in my home. 😅
Work for a bit older kids and I had some success when kiddos were young and just learning under close supervision. If dropped, they leak a ton.
Miracle® 360° Spoutless Sippy & Trainer Cups
Leak if dropped, but they do ok in bags and pretty good for kids if they don’t drop them.
Miracle® 360° Sippy Cup, 10oz | No Spill Cups for Toddlers
Hard to take apart, but as long as it is put back together correctly, it doesn’t really leak much. Tiny straw, so less choking hazard, but much more effort to get anything out as well.
Superstar Weighted Straw Cup, 6m+, 10oz
Great cup! Straw goes all the way to the top easily when tipped. Small straw, slow flow great for more independent drinking with less risk of leaking.
Any Angle™ Click Lock® Weighted Straw Cup, 10oz | Toddler Sippy Cup
Leaks a bit, but should be good for transitioning from bottle to more of a sippy cup.
Dr. Brown's® Milestones™ Options+™ Sippy Spouts, 2-Pack Narrow, Soft 1
Current daytime favorite for our 2 year old. Easy to clean straw and super easy to put together and take apart. Watch for the straw coming off though.
Simple Clean™ Straw Cup, 10oz, 2-Pack
Super durable, but very heavy. Keeps water a decent temperature as long as it’s not in direct sun. Great cup for slightly older kids.
YAYA My First Tumbler
This one is here for the cup, but the whole set is nice for baby led weaning.
BooginHead Baby Led Weaning Supplies Stage 1 & 2
These are our favorite for night time. Next to no spill and bite resistant! Plus, our toddler loves it!
NUK® Cup-Like Rim, 10 oz
Nice to give some independence, but still not likely to spill all over their face. It’s like a cup with training wheels on it.
Reflo Smart Cup
Pumping products
Products I have used in my journey of feeding 2 kiddos… other than solids.
Covered by many insurances and a decent primary pump, but it’s not hospital grade. I have used the battery pack, but it uses 8 AAs so I only used that for travel.
Pump In Style® with MaxFlow™ Breast Pump
This has been my go to pump for baby number two as an exclusive pumper. You can get a different set of tubing to connect the hanging flange and bottles.
Walmart Supercenter
My first hands free pump. Worked well for a while, but shorts out now.
Freestyle™ Hands-free Breast Pump
These tend to be my go to as an over supplier because they go so flat and they are a good price. The bags are kind of thin as a result and do tend to have some leaking every so often.
Breastmilk Storage Bags - 6oz
Bags are thick with a spout. Not really my favorite to pour out as they are not very flexible. Look aesthetically pleasing.
Motif Medical Breastmilk Storage Freezer Bags
I’m almost positive I had these kind. I know I got a few of this brand, but other than them being shorter and squatter than the lansinoh bags and I think one of them may have leaked, I don’t have much to say.
Easy Pour Breast Milk Storage Bags
I like these fine. I think they actually might be more expensive than the lansinoh bags, but they have a bit more thinkness to them.
Parent's Choice Breast Milk Storage Bags, 6 oz, 100 Count HSA/FSA Eligible
Cool idea with the temperature guage, but my daughter takes cold or room temp milk, and we have never really heated it for her consumption, so we didn't really use it. The bag ripped badly and didn't pour very well.
Nuliie 150pcs Temp-Sensing Breastmilk Bags
Baby health
Things I use to keep the kids healthy. Near impossible feat, but we try anyway! :P
I use this nightly with my younger one to help prevent diaper rash. We have a giant tub of it that sits next to the changing table.
Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Rapid Relief Cream
I use this when there is actually diaper rash already present.
Maximum Strength Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste
This lasted us almost a year and was great for our kids from age newborn to 2.5 years. I feel like it really helps to soften and move the mucus around. Makes it easier to suck out kids nose
Vicks® Sinex™ Children's Saline Nasal Mist
