Budget Friendly
I use this on my daughter a few times a week and helps her breathe so much easier. The concept seemed gross but it works so well!
NoseFrida the SnotSucker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
We have a stack of these in every room! A must have!
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths 10 Pack Organic
We used this in the hospital to drown out the machines! I don’t want her to rely on it but it is helpful during desperate times!
Hatch Rest Go - Nap trapped no more
Love using this at bath time! It was safe to use from day one and no bad reactions, my daughter has very sensitive skin so this product was a relief!
Baby Shampoo + Wash
My daughter didn’t like having her hands/arms wrapped in a swaddle but would startle herself and wake up. This was a great option to give her that comfort of being swaddled while also having her arms up by her face.
Newborn Swaddling Collection
This was AMAZING at getting the cradle cap off my daughter’s hairline. She had very little flakes remaining after using the brush and the comb from this set.
DermaFrida the FLAKEFIXER Cradle Cap System - Sponge, Brush and Comb
I didn’t know what to do during wake windows before these books. Great books that actually catch babies attention before they gain full eyesight. Love these for tummy time and play time!
Hello, My World: Book for Parents & Caregivers
Another good onesies option if you aren’t set on bamboo. We use both these and the little sleepies (linked above). Fun patterns and they go on sale from time to time! 2 way zippers are a must for night time changes.
Unisex Sleep & Play 2-Way-Zip Footed One-Piece for Baby | Old Navy
Splurge Worthy
I use this everyday, 2-3 times a day! It’s been a life saver to clean bottles, pacifiers, pump parts, etc and I know they’re sterilized! It really has given me so much time back in the day and peace of mind!
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer & Dryer
Love being able to keep my little one close but still be hands free to get things done around the house. So easy to tie and baby enjoys being close!
Newborn Babywearing Wraps
Love these diaper bag options! So easy to clean off and fit so much stuff. I have the backpack and it has a laptop sleeve which is super convenient.
Baby Travel Essentials - Diaper Bags, Changing Pads & More
Hear me out, I didn’t understand the need for a $200 bouncer but trust me - it’s worth the hype and the price. All the other bouncers we’ve tried are stiff and my daughter hates them. This one she’s loved since the first day we got it! The design/sha...
Baby Bouncers that gently rock your child | BabyBjörn
I love the travel bassinet part of this pack n play. We haven’t used the pack n play yet but know we will when she gets bigger. The bassinet folds down pretty flat and is easy to transport. We use it outside mostly as it provides its own shade and ha...
Pack 'n Play® Day2Dream™ Travel Bassinet Playard
I have this exact color and love this stroller system! We have the Aria car seat and it snaps right on to this stroller, makes trips to the store super easy. We also have the bassinet attachment and use that for walks in the neighborhood!
Vista V3 - Declan
I haven’t used the diapers from this brand yet but the wipes are a gamechanger, so soft and they come out one at a time (if you know, you know).
Sensitive Wipes | For Delicate Skin
Another splurge item but worth it if your little one needs constant movement and the high contrast toys at the top are an eye catcher!
4moms MamaRoo Multi-Motion Baby Swing Bluetooth
These onesies are the best! I swear they get softer with each wash. However they do run big so just keep that in mind. That does mean they last a little longer which for me helps justify the cost!
Little Sleepies
