Bathtime
I love this for when they start sitting in the tub as a toddler. It keeps them from bumping their head on the spout. Let's be honest, that metal spout hurts! So this soft protector cushions when the inevitable happens. I've had one on ours for years,...
Nuby Bathtub Safety Spout Guard Dolphin
I LOVE this shampoo, and I LOVE the ingredients. It's so safe for babies, and cleans without being harsh on their sensitive skin. I love their baby lotion too in this same line.
Babo Botanicals Sensitive Baby 2-in-1 Shampoo
I love this thermometer, because I always worry I'll get water too hot or too cold for baby. What's comfy to me isn't always to them. So this takes out the guesswork for me and I can rest easy knowing water temp is perfect before I put my baby in the...
Dreambaby Bath & Room Thermometer Turtle
The bristles on the brush are amazingly soft. I wish I could brush my hair with bristles that soft. But I love brushing my babe's hair with it, and knowing it's so gentle on his little head.
Dr. Brown's Soft and Safe Baby Brush + Comb
Mama care
My go to after every birth for the first week especially. I love the ingredients and how safe they are, but also, things are sore after birth and this stuff is refreshing and really, really helps me out with healing and comfort levels. I've used it a...
Earth Mama Postpartum Recovery Kit, 2-Piece
So much better than the one from the hospital or birth center. It squirts without having to flip it upside down, so it gets where you need it every time, gently. I bought one for after my most recent birth, and it was so nice for when you need to go ...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle Sprayer Gray
I keep this on hand for the after cramps that follow birth. It's so helpful. I have had it on hand after 4 births. And if I have any leftover, I save it and use it for menstrual cramps after my period returns.
WishGarden AfterEase Herbal Supplement 2oz
Another mom told me about these, and they worked so well for the last few months of pregnancy and postpartum. They're so very comfortable and they stretch enough that I bought my regular non pregnant size and it fit just fine at 8 months pregnant, an...
Athletic Works ButterCore
Car seat and travel
Our favorite car seat!!!! It's got so many safety features, plus no yucky flame retardants in the fabric, and you can upgrade and get the matching stroller. Also, this thing is so lightweight so it's not hard on me when I need to move it with baby in...
UPPAbaby Aria V2 Infant Car Seat - Callum
I waited until my 4th baby to get one of these, thinking I didn't need it. But I absolutely wish I'd have bought one a long time ago. It eases my mind when I'm driving, so I can see what he's doing and he loves looking at himself in it so it's also e...
Britax Baby Car Mirror XL Clear View - Crash Tested
Health
This has been a great little tool to have on hand for all 4 babies. It's perfect for getting out the boogers gently.
oogiebear Baby Nose & Ear Cleaner Tool
This is a LIFESAVER for congested babies when they can't get the snot out. Another item I always have on hand through 4 babies.
Frida Baby NoseFrida SnotSucker Nasal Aspirator with 24 Filters
My babies are prone to cradle cap, and this set has been a game changer for dealing with that. The sponge helps soap up his head gently, the tiny bristles are so soft but do an amazing job of working up the flakes, and the comb is curved perfectly fo...
Frida Baby 3-Step Cradle Cap System
Diapering
If you're on a budget but want something that's not quite so toxic, these were a good middle-ground for me. We're on a tight budget, but these were better (in my opinion) than Huggies or Pampers. No scent, soft, absorbent. They're not perfectly non-t...
Member's Mark Premium Baby Diapers, Sizes Newborn - 8 - Samsclub.com
These wipes have been a great buy for us. They're a decent price, but also I feel better about the ingredients. They're maybe not the most non-toxic ever but on a budget, these are sturdy and have done well for my babe with sensitive skin.
Hello Bello Fragrance-Free Baby Wipes, 540
This diaper cream has been my go to for 4 babies. As soon as I see red starting to appear, I apply this and it's taken care of problems before they ever start. Plus you can use it for other skin issues. This is definitely on my must have on hand list...
Earth Mama Organic Diaper Balm 2oz, EWG Verified
I bought one of these to hang on my playard, and it's been so handy for keeping extra diapers, wipes, diaper cream, extra changing pad liners, etc. close at hand, and still organized. I wish I'd have bought one for my first 3 babies, rather than not until my last but I guess better late than never.
Maliton Hanging Diaper Organizer Caddy - Beige
Teething
One of our favorite teethers. Our almost 6 month old started using it at about 4 months, and it stays on his hand better so he's not throwing it on the floor all the time. Plus it's easy to clean if he does.
Frida Baby Get-A-Grip Silicone Teether Blue
One of our favorite teethers since our first baby 10 years ago. They love the handle, and both ends makes them happy to gnaw on.
Innobaby EZ Grip Star Teether BPA Free
Baby wearing
This is my all time favorite stretchy wrap. I've used it for 3 babies now, various colors, and the material is perfection, not too hot. And it keeps the tiny ones close and snuggly.
Tuck and Bundle Baby Wrap Carrier, 8-35 lb, Citadel Blue
My most favorite soft structured carrier ever. All time. No question. Breathable, comfortable, beautiful. I've tried multiple brands but nothing beats my Happy Baby and I don't even bother trying other brands anymore. 8 years of a happy customer of H...
Happy Baby Carriers
Feeding
I have bought a new set of these for all 4 babies. They are so good for the drool, and it doesn't soak through to their clothes, so they stay dry.
Stay-dry Baby Bibs
This is one of my favorite cups for littles when they start transitioning from a bottle. The lid sits securely in, so it doesn't get spilled everywhere. It's made of silicone, so I'm not worried about plastics. And it comes in two sizes, so my now 4 ...
Olababy Silicone Training Cup with Straw Lid
We don't use this as a floor seat, we just strap it to one of our dining chairs and leave it there. It's a much cheaper alternative to a high chair and takes up much less space. Easy to clean, and easy to transport if we need to take it on a trip.
Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Seat Slate
High chairs at restaurants are GrOsS. I always wonder what germs we'll pick up this time. So we bought this portable booster seat that straps in the chair. Comes with a carrying case, and extra wide feet for stability. Now the only germs my little on...
Hiccapop OmniBoost Travel Booster Seat w/ Tray
This is so amazing for when they start drinking juice boxes/pouches. They always end up squeezing the pouch and it gets everywhere. We bought a couple of these several years ago and they work so well. You can fit a juice box or a pouch in them, and i...
InchBug MyDrinky Pouch Holder, 2-Pack BPA-Free
Baby toys
These books are amazing. Baby can't rip them, can chew on them without damaging, and it makes for a great entertainer in the car seat so the board books don't die a gummy, chewed up death.
Indestructibles: Hello, Farm! - Baby Book
My 5 month old loves this, and I love how soft it is. It crinkles, but also has a silicone teether ring attached. And the fabric itself is soft and he likes chewing on both the knotted “feet” and the teething ring.
Itzy Ritzy Bitzy Crinkle Sensory Toy Bunny
We've gotten at least one of these for every kid. Being able to heat them is so handy when the kids are cold, or my two oldest went through a spell of growing pains, and the heating pad helped tremendously with easing those leg pains when they'd get ...
Warmies™
Nursing essentials
These are reusable, washable, organic nursing pads, and I wouldn't be without them. It saves me money from having to buy disposable ones on repeat. I like to use these when I'm at home, and save the disposable ones for when I'm out and about. These a...
Kindred Bravely Organic Nursing Pads 10pk
Great for tender nipples after those first few days and weeks while you and baby are adjusting to new latch and all.
Earth Mama Nipple Butter & Diaper Balm Bundle
This was so helpful especially with the first couple of babies, while I figured out the various holds, and trying to support baby without wearing out my arms and elbows. It's held up through 4 babies also, so it's well made.
My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow Deluxe Aqua
Swing, playard, etc.
We have the elephant one, and I LOVE the options that comes with this swing. The seat swivels any direction easily, without having to push extra buttons or anything. And my baby gets so excited when he gets in, he immediately looks up and starts kick...
Ingenuity InLighten 5-Speed Baby Swing Nally Owl
We've used a Graco playard for all 4 babies. I love the bassinet feature so it can be higher for when they're little. Saves my back! And I love the changing table feature. Also a back saver! We don't use the newborn insert part as much though.
Graco Pack ’n Play Travel Dome LX Playard
