items Sharing here my must-have baby and mom items after having 2 under 2. Life is crazy already, take it from me- these items will make your life easier. And your baby will thank you too.
I’ve put both my toddlers in this car seat without complaints where others have caused us some issues. I feel so safe with my toddlers in this seat and it grows with them! Definitely worth the peace of mind
Nuna RAVA™ Convertible Car Seat | Easy Install & FR-Free
Added here because so many moms like myself end up with several strollers only to find out that spending $$$$ is not necessarily the way to go. Toddler and baby approved, you can even add adaptors to this to make it compatible for an infant car seat....
Trend Duo 2025 Double Stroller
Stop and be rest assured your baby or toddler will not be climbing out with this. They sleep, and you do too. Take back your sanity and bedtime routine with this. Bonus tip* start it earlier so there’s no revolt against it when the time comes.
Premium Pop Up Crib Tent - Baby Safety Cover
Compatible via WiFi, control the settings the way you want. Set it to your regular programs for easy future use. Both my toddlers have this one and pro tip: it works great in the hallway too!
Hatch Rest 2nd generation - Night Light, Sound Machine ...
Mimic the womb and soothe your baby with this portable sound machine. Also great for travel. Utilizes a charger but lasts several hours from a full battery. Great to have in a diaper bag!
Hushh® Compact Sound Machine
My babies used these through the ages. Washes well and if it gets destroyed- I’m not upset about it! Great for layering and has a double zip
Unisex 2-Way-Zip Sleep & Play Footed One-Piece 5-Pack for Baby | Old Navy
Great travel stroller. Folds extremely small and can easily walk on an airplane with this, a backpack and a child in your arms. Folds easy.
gb Pockit Air All Terrain Compact Stroller
The snuggliest smooshiest sleep sack ever. My kids both loved these. Organic bamboo helps keep babies temperature regulated on hot nights and during cool winters.
Shop Sleep Bags | Bamboo Sleep Sacks
Use this daily for smoothies and to easily sneek greens into my kids diet. Use it to make your own baby food- no fancy food maker needed. This thing gets used daily in my house

Don’t skimp out here. Especially once through the newborn stage, these diapers are leak free and truly clean. Happy baby, happy mama.
Coterie Diapers | Pricing, Cost, Reviews
More for mom than baby, this is a must have item for coffee drinkers and sleep deprived moms
Vertuo Coffee & Espresso Machines
It may not be the cutest, but after trying all the others this one did the job. Carried me through nursing both my babies for 12+ months each. This thing truly was my Brest friend
My Brest Friend
After trying tons of strollers- this is the best all-use single stroller. Note- I would not bother investing in the vista for use as a double - the weight distribution drastically changes the game but this Cruz - as a single is fantastic!
Cruz V3 - Savannah
After 2 toddlers I was in the hunt for something truly flat (I have tried tons that tilt when baby is resting on one side. This one is super convenient with an adjustable height which is important being bedside. My babies were safe and happy in these...
SnuzPod4 Bedside Bassinet Natural
Staple item for the first 9 months. Ergonomic means baby will be happy and comfortable. My babies both loved these and so did I. Super easy to move since it’s lightweight and stores flat. Turns out this also provided relief of tummy and reflux issues...
Baby Bouncers that gently rock your child | BabyBjörn
Carry comfortably and confidently with this Tula carrier. Super soft and easy to get on and off without help, this was one of many carriers I tried. Priced right, there’s no need for the extra spendy ones when this one does the job and does it well.
Baby Tula
Create a nest for your child to sleep wherever, whenever. This is great for travel or for when you plan to be in a place without blackout shades to help your baby calm and fall asleep easily. Easy to put up, drapes over the crib or pack n play easily...
SlumberPod
Relieve teething pain naturally. This stuff really works. I’ve passed it on to so many other mamas. Contains natural ingredients like clove and provides relief to irritable babies.
Punkin Butt Teething Oil 2 oz - 100% Natural
Love this baby monitor! Something I can finally rely on that will work anywhere in the house with the parent monitor.

I suggest the smaller size for ease, but this item was a MUST HAVE for nursing. Use this in so many ways. Great for if you have an oversupply as a catcher for breastmilk but also can be used on one side while baby nurses the other if you tend to have...
