😴 Sleep & Soothing
For calmer nights and the fussy moments in between.
Love how flexible this one is. Arms in, hands to face or arms out, so it works as baby's preferences change.
HALO SleepSack Swaddle, 100% Cotton, 1.5 TOG
Such a dreamy little nightlight show. The remote is a lifesaver when you don't want to creep back in.
Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother
Smart design since it's shaped like the Dr. Brown's bottle nipple. A great one to try if baby is picky about pacis.
Dr. Brown's HappyPaci One-Piece Silicone Pacifier, 0-6M (3-Pack)
A classic in so many diaper bags for a reason. Nice that it's made without added sugar or alcohol.
Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water Original (4 fl oz)
🥣 Feeding
From first bites to first sips, minus most of the mess.
Such a fun way to let babies explore real food. Messy in the best way.
Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder (2 pk)
These suction bowls actually stay put! The lids make leftovers way easier too.
Munchkin Stay Put Suction Bowls with Lids (3 pk)
The weighted straw is genius. Baby can sip no matter which way the cup tips.
Dr. Brown's Milestones Baby's First Straw Cup (9 oz)
A total must for those early nursing days. Doesn't need to be wiped off before feeding, which is huge.
Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream (1.41 oz)
🛁 Diapering & Bath
Changing table and bath time basics you'll use daily.
The heavy-duty paste you want on hand. A little goes a long way.
Desitin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Paste (4 oz)
That bedtime scent is everything. Makes bath time feel like the start of winding down.
Johnson's Baby Bedtime Moisture Wash (13.6 fl oz)
So much better than a cup over the head. Keeps water out of little eyes without any fuss.
Frida Baby Control The Flow Rinser
Such a clever potty seat. Flips down when they need it and stays out of the way when they don't.
Frida Baby Drop Down Potty Training Seat
🚗 On-the-Go
Make leaving the house with baby feel doable again.
Light, folds in one step and doesn't take over your trunk. Exactly what you want for quick errands.
Summer by Ingenuity 3D Lite Stroller
The only wipes I'd stock up on for sensitive skin. Basically just water and they're thicker than you'd expect.
