Feeding
Good size, glass bottle options - our baby used the smallest size from newborn phase and older. Easy to carry around with us when we’re out and about.
Baby Bottles
This started as my travel/out and about breast pump but quickly became my main pump. Great suction and large storage cups - I always had good output using these!
It was also quite discrete - I used it many times on planes and while travelling and y...
All-in-one M5 Wearable Breast Pump: Convenient & Discreet
This was a life saver during the early days of breast feeding. It was quick to use and easy to clean with relatively few parts. I think all moms who pump should have a good manual pump on hand, it felt like less of a hassle than my plug in.
Like al...
Manual Breast Pump
You think you don’t need this but you do. I had a very difficult time at the beginning of my breast feeding journey and the silverettes provided me so much relief and I believe they helped me to heal faster.
SILVERETTE The Original Silver Nursing Cups ...
This was a critical item for us while in the newborn trenches - it saved time and gave peace of mind knowing all of the bottles and accessories were sterilized. The dryer was so great too since we were going through so many bottles it was great to kn...
Dr. Brown's Clean Steam Baby Bottle Sterilizer
It’s expensive but worth it. Easy to clean and looks really nice in our home (for a high chair)! Meal time is messy (inevitably) but clean up is pretty straightforward which I appreciate.
Our baby fit comfortably in this chair at 6 months old and n...
Tripp Trapp® Chair - The Chair That Grows with the Child
Sleep & Soothing
Loved this bassinet. Easy to pick up baby in and out of and the swivel function made it easier to get in and out of the bed.
Shop All - Swivel Sleepers - Halo Sleep
Baby’s first stuffie - our baby’s favourite one is the Jelly Cat bunny. The large floppy ears and dangly arms and legs are so entertaining for our baby and they will play with the bunny until they fall asleep for naps and overnight. A great comfort t...
Bunnies Soft Toys - Official Jellycat Store
The only teether my baby liked. It also helped with fine motor skills as it was light and easy to grasp.
YFLife Teething Toys for Babies Relief
We tried every kind of swaddle out there and our baby was the most comfortable and happy in this one. Our baby quickly disliked having their arms tucked in and this swaddle allowed the arms to be out while being able to tightly swaddle the rest of th...
The Ollie World
On the Go
We live downtown and this stroller was amazing for long walks in the city on all sorts of terrain and was particularly amazing in the snow! Really sturdy and our baby is so comfortable in it.
Navigate Your Family's Growth and Change with The UPPAbaby® Vista® V2
Used this as our travel/car stroller and it’s amazingly compact and light! Perfect for quick trips around town and travel
Shop Bugaboo Butterfly
Pricey but loved every moment of using this carrier. Baby was comfy and so was I for long walks everywhere. Lots of Albany snuggles and cuddles using this!
Artipoppe
Loved this so much - baby felt very safe (we always only used it on the floor) and enjoyed their time in here a lot. Having this freed up my hands when I needed a little break too. The rocking motion would put our baby to sleep easily. We even would ...
Ergonomic baby carriers & baby bouncers | BabyBjörn
Playtime & Development
MVP baby toy. Our baby used for a really long time as it has so many different modes.
Fisher-Price Deluxe Kick & Play Piano Gym
Another great place to set baby down for a moment and learn to independently play. Loved being face to face with our baby in this activity center. There is a piece on the bottom where baby’s feet can stand on which helped ours learn to balance!

Baby Essentials
Super soft, very absorbent. We have used from newborn into infancy and toddler phases
Millie Moon
Non scented and gentle!
WaterWipes Plastic-Free Original Baby Wipes
We bought a bunch of these and had them all over the house. Water and stain resistant and were the MVP for impromptu changes during the day!
BlueSnail: Changing Pad Liner
We love this diaper pail! It keeps odours in, has a locking mechanism (for curious babies) and you can take the garbage bag out easily and without a mess.
stainless steel diaper pail
Bath & Grooming
Loved all the different settings on this. We used the sling mode for newborn phase, then the seat mode when they were older and finally just as a tub when they got sturdier. Our tub was a bit awkward so this allowed us to be able to bathe our baby ef...
Skip Hop: Bath Tubs & Essentials
My husband used a more typical nail clipper to clip baby’s nails and unfortunately took a little too much off and this scarred us! We found the little grinder type to not be very effective and found this one and it gave us both peace of mind while us...
