Ubbi diaper pail
Hands down the best low-profile "diaper bag" alternative! It’s super lightweight, water-resistant against minor spills and rain, and fits all your quick-run baby essentials. The padded strap is super comfortable for all-day wear, too.
Women's Puffy Shoulder Bag
This hip seat saved my wrists and back when carrying my little one for a longer period of time. So easy to wear and carry the baby. My little one loves this front facing when walking outside.

Highly recommend Totter & Tumble playmats if you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish floor mat! They are made with thick, supportive memory foam, fully wipeable and waterproof, and blend seamlessly into your home decor like an actual rug.
Totter And Tumble Play Mat
Used this slip stick for couches, coffee table and all other furniture that are free floating. My almost walking baby who stands and walks along the furniture has been safe from not moving furniture.
Slipstick GorillaPads CB147 Non Slip Pads
Once our little one started opening every drawer in sight, these came to the rescue. They install on the inside so you don't have to look at bulky plastic straps on your furniture. The peel-and-stick adhesive was super easy to set up, and they pop op...

Whenever sore gums make baby fussy or restless before naptime, these single-use vials bring so much comfort. They're unflavored liquid, benzocaine-free, and crazy convenient to toss a few into your diaper bag for on-the-go relief. Absolutely a staple...
Boiron Camilia Teething Drops Day & Night
Loves this stacking teething toy which helps baby develop not only fine motors but also serves as teether for itchy gums
Stacking Teething Rings
Probably one of the most used teether when baby started grabbing things and putting things in the mouth. It’s a high quality silicone and really easy for baby to hold with the wristband.
MEDITOY Baby Wrist Teether
A true day-one newborn essential! We’ve used these soft gauze wands from the very beginning to clear away milk film and keep baby's mouth and gums clean. Super gentle, individually wrapped for hygiene, and effortless to use.

The Going to Bed Book
Moo, Baa, La La La! is another huge favorite in our house! It’s short, hilarious, and so much fun to read aloud with all the silly animal sounds. Whenever our baby hears the pigs singing "La La La!", it instantly gets a big laugh!
