items As a new mama, it's hard to know what baby products you're actually going to use. Everyone always tells you to get the latest and greatest devices without much explanation as to why they are worth the price. If I'm being honest, we got a lot of our p...

Hygiene and care
These were the only clean wipes we were able to find at pretty much any store near us in our small town. They are 99% water, so there is no need to worry about harsh chemicals on your baby's delicate bottom. Our daughter has never gotten a rash using...
WaterWipes Sensitive Newborn & Baby Wipes, 99.9% Water, Unscented & Hypoallergenic, 120 Wipes
Another awesome brand for clean baby wipes. We used and loved these as well but they are a little harder to find
The Honest Company Plant Based Baby Wipes Fragrance Free 144 Count
This is one of the few ingredient conscious brands we trust. This shampoo is safe, yet gentle and has a lovely soft scent
Pipette Tear-Free Baby Shampoo and Wash, Fragrance-Free, 11.8 fl oz
This is my favorite lotion that we have tried so far. Its very gentle for their little bodies, and I don't know how to describe it, but the fragrance free version somehow smells exactly like a clean newborn
Pipette Baby Lotion, Ultra-Hydration, Fragrance Free, 5.7 fl oz
We have been lucky enough that our baby has not yet gotten any diaper rash, but if she did, this is the brand we would trust
Pipette Diaper Rash Cream - Fragrance Free - 3 fl oz
These were one of two brands of disposable diapers we used in the first weeks with our daughter. We love them for the clean ingredients. Our girl has never gotten a rash, and these diapers are incredibly soft with excellent absorbancy. They also have...
(2 pack) Freestyle Total Chlorine Free 14x Better Absorption Hypoallergenic EWG Verified® Baby Diapers, Newborn (Up to 10 lbs), 56 Count
Comfort items
This is the only pacifier we ever gave our daughter, and it is modeled to support breastfed babies. I definitely think it helped her get the hang of a proper latch in those early days
Ninni Pacifier Oatmeal 2 Pack
Sleep
As always, use your own discretion when it comes to your decisions about what is safe sleep for your baby. That being said, our daughter sleeps in one of these every night. It helps her incredibly with spitup and upset stomach and prevents her from b...
Wdmiya Lounger Pillow for Support Cushion Pillow, Tummy Time, Adjustable Wedge Lounger Pillow
This is the only sleep sack/swaddle that our girl let us put her in. She absolutely hated having her arms wrapped by her side. She always wanted them close to her face for comfort, and this sleep sack allows that. I also love how it keeps her feet fr...
Love To Dream Swaddle Up Original Sleep Sack, Gender Neutral, 4-Way Stretch, Cotton Blend, 1.0 TOG, Deep Olive Stars, Newborn
We have a bedside bassinet very similar to this. Currently, we are safely bed sharing with our daughter, but for those who are not comfortable with bed sharing, this is an incredible option that still allows you to keep your baby close.
Babyeap Baby Bassinet Bedside Sleeper Bassinet for 0–5 Months Infants, Unisex, Dark Gray
Feeding
This is the only bottle we have used so far with our mostly breastfed daughter, and she takes it well. I love that the bottles are glass and don't have a ton of extra parts to clean. The nipple is slow flow enough that she doesn't choke as she eats e...
Evenflo Feeding Balance + Wide Neck Glass Bottles - 6oz 3 Pack
This is another wonderful glass bottle brand that passes the triangle test for supporting breastfed babies. I really like this brand because of the super soft silicone nipple.
NUK Perfect Match Glass Anti-Colic Baby Bottle, Slow Flow, 0+ Months, 4 oz, 2 Pack
This is the grass fed version of the formula we use. It is modeled off of breast milk and free of any bad ingredients like seed oil and corn syrup.
Bobbie Whole Milk Infant Formula for Everyday Feeding, Milk-Based Powder with 1.2mg Iron, Organic Grass-Fed Whole Milk Recipe, 14.1 oz Can
This is the gentle version of the formula we use for those babies with sensitive tummies. We picked this brand for its quality ingredients and because it lacks the harmful seed oils and corn syrup that so many other brands use
Bobbie Organic Gentle Infant Formula for Everyday Feeding, Milk-Based Powder with 1.2mg Iron, Lactose Recipe, Certified USDA Organic, 14.1 oz Can
After a ton of research, this is the only brand of formula that we trust. It is modeled after breast milk, third party tested, and only uses the cleanest ingredients. Our breastfed baby takes a bottle of this no problem when need be.
Bobbie Organic Original Infant Formula for Everyday Feeding, Milk-Based Powder with 1.2mg Iron, Skim Milk Recipe, Certified USDA Organic, 14.1 oz Can
These burp cloths are wonderful for crafty new mamas who wants a little project that can be used every day for their babies. We were gifted a bunch of these that had already been crocheted for us. The flannel is super absorbent and doesn’t soak throu...
Girl - Hemstitch Baby Burps - Ready to crochet around the edges - sets of 2 double sided flannel burps.
These are a pre-completed version of the burp cloths that we use and love. They are super cute to add to your collection with a hand, crocheted edge and adorable patterns. We love that they are made of flannel and don’t soak through easily with spit ...
Baby Burp Cloths Flannel Double Sided with Crocheted Edge. Mini size
Travel and transport
I did a TON of research on car seats when I was pregnant with our daughter, and this is the one I eventually landed on. The only con is that it is not removable and sits permanently in your vehicle, BUT! It grows with your child from infancy up to 10...
Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat, Cullen, Grey
I always thought that I would hate a wrap that I would have to tie every time, but it ended up being the only wrap my baby approves of. Honestly, once you learn how to wrap it, it is an absolute breeze and takes less than a minute. It is the only wra...
Moby True Wrap Baby Carrier
We love our evenflo stroller and are so happy that we chose to get a single to double convertable model as we hope to have our second in the near future. This product is an investment but will serve us for years to come.
Evenflo Pivot Xpand Modular Travel System with LiteMax Infant Car Seat (Sabino Gray)

This nail file is not only great for our baby, but I use it too! There are multiple different grits to file with as your baby grows and their nails get thicker. It comes with a little light, which helps see their tiny little nails way better.
Dr. Talbot's Electric Nail Trimmer
This is the thermometer we use. I love that it is a non invasive forehead monitor. It's super easy to use, and I find that it is very accurate. Our baby doesn't mind it at all
No-Touch Thermometer for Adults and Kids, Accurate Digital Baby Thermometer, Fever Alarm & Silent Mode, 2 in 1 Forehead & Object Mode
This is the nasal aspirator that we use. It has a lot of awesome features! It has three different sections powers, three different sized silicone tips, and it even plays lullabies to help soothe your baby. We love that it is rechargeable, too!
Grownsy Baby Nasal Aspirator Nose Sucker Nose Cleaner Rechargeable, White
This one comes with a hefty price tag, but it has been so worth it for a worried mama like me. It comes with different sized socks to grow with your baby and tracks their heart rate and oxygen levels as they sleep. I also love that it tracks their de...
