Diapering
My favorite (and not so favorite) diapers!
BUY! We LOVE pampers around here, especially as a boy mom, they just work! I’ve never had a leak with Pampers!
Pampers: Swaddlers - Amazon.com
BUY! These definitely come in as a top contender as well. They fit beautifully and again, I’ve had no leaks with the Honest brand!
Baby Diapers | The Honest Company
BYE! Just in my personal experience, we’ve had the most leaks with Huggies): All babies are different so you just need to use what works for you!
Huggies® Baby Diapers
Wipes
My top three!
BUY! These are my absolute favorite! Seriously the best wipes ever. I was actually gifted these at my baby shower and an obsession started after that😍
Face, Hand, and Body Wipes for Baby | Aveeno®
BUY! Even though the diapers are a miss in our house, the wipes sure aren’t! Again, every baby is different but they are so soft and have not caused any skin irritation.
Huggies® Baby Wipes
BUY! These wipes are soooo good. They are soft but thick which I love for those “stinkier” situations!
All Wipes | The Honest Company
BYE! I never used this, not once. I was scared my baby would get used to warm wipes at home and then have a fit in public when a cold wipe touched them. Personal preference though!

BUY! I don’t have this exact one but one similar and I LOVE. Makes a nervous mom feel better knowing her baby is right next to her and within arms reach safely:)
Beside Me™ Dreamer Organic Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper
BYE! Yes, these may be great for travel BUT we don’t necessarily need one for our midnight butt changes. Some may prefer to use one rather than change your baby on the bed but I have found I’m so tired, I don’t even remember it’s next to my bed half ...

Bottle Fed Babies!
Fed is best! Whether that be formula or breast milk, or both! Here are some items for those mamas who use strictly bottles:)
BUY! I will scream this from the rooftops, this is my most used baby item up to date. I both formula feed and pump and this warmer has been AMAZING since I’ve started my bottle feeding journey. You can warm water, bread milk or even a pre-made formul...

BUY! This swing is a hot commodity in our house! It has all the bells and whistles such as, bluetooth! You can turn the swing on and change modes and music straight from your phone. I don’t know what I would do without this swing if I’m being honest�...
Mamaroo® Smart Swing - Wells - UPPAbaby
BYE! Maybe I couldn’t quite get in the swing of this but it takes FOREVER to warm anything up. I do like you can thaw out frozen, bagged breast milk but it takes about an hour. This just seems to take up more space more than be convenient for me unfo...
