Since the playpen doesn’t come with padding, these foam floor pieces are definitely a must if your floor is on the harder side. It’s probably the only flaw I’ve noticed with this playpen, but I understand it’s part of the trade-off for having a colla...
LAITIMIA Interlocking Foam Playmat & Reviews | Wayfair
While I know this section is play. This is something that is still in her play pen to allow her an area to rest and relax. I had it from her travel bassinet, and it ended up being a perfect addition to making her play pen more cozy.

Feeding
I try my absolute best to keep her eating as clean as possible from her food, down to utensils, and cleaning products that clean her feeding utensils.

These things are AMAZING. I'm someone who doesn't like to feed my daughter much food out because of all the perservatives, and additives. I have multiple now, these help so much when it comes to making her food, and bringing it out to events. I have ...

Another EWG approved item which I feel like is huge for sunscreen. I personally felt like it was a little difficult finding a sunscreen that I felt comfortable enough using on her. Not only is it safe, it works, and lasts.
