Super affordable and easy to use! Definitely great for someone with a smaller build because of how lightweight it is!
Baby Trend EZ-Lift™ PLUS Infant Car Seat
Great for anyone who has long visits with family and loved ones! So many different uses! The extra storage for diapers and wipes is convenient! The changing pad on it makes visits with baby so much easier!
Baby Trend Pack N Play
Perfect for anyone who wants to wear baby! Super comfy and easy to put on. One of babies favorite spots to nap! Would 100% recommend if you have a Velcro baby or you’re a Velcro mommy!
Baby Wrap Carriers | Supportive Newborn Slings
One of baby’s favorite places! Lifesaver when I need to put him down for a minute and decompress! Would 1000% recommend because sometimes there is nothing you can figure out to soothe a baby and you might just need a breather!
Graco Baby Swing
Super easy to use and fold away! Love it for walks and getting outside with baby! Definitely helps get baby to sleep!
Expedition® Race Tec™ Plus Jogger - Angled Flex-Grip Handles
Bath time🛁
Lasts through so many stages and easy to clean! Definitely makes bath time quick and easy which is great if your baby HATES baths like mine
4-in-1 Grow-With-Me Bath Tub - Frida Baby
Great for baby’s with sensitive skin and the nighttime one is a miracle worker for a baby who fights sleep!
Johnson's® Baby Shampoo
Clothes
So many cute outfits and basics! Easy to get on and off a squirmy baby! I love having an already put together outfit for baby especially during the first month with so many other things going on!
Baby, Newborn, and Infant Clothes
Love the feel of these! Super light and breathable and helped so much to be able to put on baby when he got a heat rash! One of our go to nighttime outfits now!
Modern Moments Baby Wear | Stylish & Comfortable
A must have! I thought we wouldn’t need mittens since so many outfits had fold over ones and we thought cutting baby’s nails would be easy but these saved us because baby’s nails grow so fast and we couldn’t keep up! And I didn’t realize how much we ...

Toys and Entertainment
So many ways to use this! The piano is a great learning tool but also a great distraction when you need something to entertain your baby! The tummy time pillow is so great for getting baby’s head up and building neck strength! And all the hanging toy...
Baby Einstein: Play Gyms & Mats
Amazing for tummy time and so great if you are looking for a way to avoid screens but still entertain! Love Baby Einstein toys for development and fun!
Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Crib Toy
Breastfeeding and Pumping!
Super comfortable! If you prefer sports bras compared to regular bras this is a great choice. The material is great as well!
Hanes Maternity Women's Lounge Nursing Bralette
My go to snack while BF! Definitely noticed an increase in my milk supply when I found these! Also taste great and are healthy so I eat them very often!
Bobo's Oat Bites | Oatmeal Bites | Gluten Free, Vegan Snacks
Lifesaver for leaks! I was going through so much laundry before I got these!
Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
These bags are great. No milk gets wasted and milk storage bags are really not worth splurging on! I’ve been able to build a pretty good milk stash from pumping after baby eats and these bags hold it great!
Parent's Choice Breast Milk Storage Bags, 6 oz, 100 Count HSA/FSA Eligible
So important to stay hydrated while breastfeeding! Drinking lots of water is important but electrolytes matter so much! And it’s nice to have a good flavored drink that will help provide more for baby!
Gatorade

Learning what pacifiers baby likes and doesn’t has been so difficult, I fully expected the one the hospital gave to be acceptable for baby but he would not have it. Finding these was a game changer, he’s EBF so the rare occasion he will accept a paci...
Pacifiers
Definitely didn’t expect to need all of this so soon but I’m so glad I had it on hand! The gripe water literally saved us from sleepless nights when baby was struggling with gas and hiccups constantly!
Little Remedies New Baby Essentials Kit with Saline
Diaper Change Essentials
Love these for baby! He’s more long than chunky and they fit great! No leaks or irritation for baby, definitely would recommend!
Pampers Swaddlers Diapers
Our favorite wipes! Great for sensitive skin and don’t need as many as other brands! My #1 pick for changing time!
Kirkland Signature Baby Wipes, 900-count
Love these wipes! They don’t tear when wiping or irritate baby’s skin. I always have a pack in the diaper bag and multiple around at all times!
Baby Wipes
We use it everyday! So easy to travel with. I prefer a tote over a backpack diaper bag and this is the best and most worth it option! Love how easy it is to organize and it comes with a changing pad which is perfect!
Huggies Diaper Bag
Saved us from diaper rash! We could not find a diaper rash cream that actually did anything but make it worse. Don’t waste money this is the best way to heal baby’s butt!
Vaseline
Postpartum Needs
This makes going to the bathroom so much easier! The hospital does usually give a peri bottle but the angle on this is super helpful. Definitely not a product necessary to splurge on but this one is affordable and gets the job done great!
Parent's Choice Upside Down Peri Bottle for Postpartum Care, 300 ml
This is a NEED! Witch hazel is a life saver after birth and it’s so so so much easier than tucks pads. Makes going to the bathroom so much quicker and helps healing move quickly!
