For Baby
The portable Hatch has been a life saver for on the go and during the day when we aren’t using the Hatch night light! Super quick to charge and lasts SO long!
Hatch.co
This has been amazing for those middle of the night feeds when we don’t want to turn on the big light! Also a game changer that you can control it from the app on your phone or on the machine itself!
Hatch Rest 2nd Gen All-in-one Sleep Machine, Nightlight & Sound Machine
A nice cozy place to lay baby down when you need it! Our little man loves this and will take some of his best day time naps in it (supervised of course). You can also get different covers for it as well!
Infant Loungers
There’s several bedside bassinets out there and you really can’t go wrong with a lot of them but this is the one we have and it’s been great! We have a taller bed and this is the perfect height. It can also be adjusted either higher or lower too! Als...
Baby Bassinets
LOVE these bottles. Also love that they help reduce colic and the wide nipple. I feel like our little man drinks really well from these. We aren’t breastfeeding but I feel like these would be a great option for breastfed babies as well!
Baby Bottles for Every Stage | Anti-Colic, BPA-Free & More
Another great bottle option. Our little man does take longer to drink from these but that’s just because the flow is a little slower to prevent gas and colic. I will say, the filter inside is a little difficult to clean but just make sure to take it ...
Baby Bottles
Literally a life saver. No notes. Just the best. We run this thing constantly. It’s so nice to just put everything in there and have it do its thing. It washes, dries, and sanitizes so when it’s done everything is ready to use!
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer Sterilizer Dryer
Another game changer for those middle of the night feeds if you’re bottle feeding. You can change the temperature, ounces, and it’ll dispense the exact amount of formula and water needed! Literally with a press of a button, you’ll have a perfectly mi...
Baby Formula Dispensers & Mixers
Little man loves to have his arms up so this swaddle is amazing for that! Still keeps them nice and cozy but lets him have his arms up!
Newborn Swaddles - Arms Up Swaddles for Infants
A little pricey but it’s so worth it. It gives me peace of mind knowing that it’s made to keep them warm or cool depending on the temperature and you don’t have to worry about buying different TOGs like with other swaddles/sleep sacks.
4 Season Baby Sleep Sacks - Pure Merino Wool & Organic Cotton // ...
There’s so many travel systems out there too but this is the one we went with and are loving it! We wanted a baseless car seat so we don’t have to buy/transfer multiple if we’re in different cars! It locks into the anchors in your seat and there’s se...
Joie Ginger & Mint Latch Travel System | 4-in-1 Versatility
We’ve been loving this so far! It’s so nice to be able to just wipe it down after a changing. When he gets a little older, the mobile will be great to keep his attention and if he gets super wiggly it has the little belt to keep them in place!
Skip Hop Baby Changing Pad Wipe-Clean
The best baby lotion!!! Makes his skin so soft and smells so so good without any fragrances!
Super Soft Baby Lotion
Baby acne = gone!!! A little of this stuff goes a long way and cleared up his baby acne in a week!
All Over Ointment Eczema Treatment
So cute and makes it easy to rinse baby off in the tub!!! It’ll also be a fun toy for when he gets older.
Elephant Baby Bath Shower Head | Yookidoo Newborn Toys in Tub Or Sink
This app has been incredibly useful for keeping track of feedings, naps, and diapers. You can use the app without the premium subscription which is also a plus! I got the premium subscription to get all the extra features and it’s so worth it! It’s r...
Huckleberry: Baby & Child App - App Store
Another life saver is a baby swing. We put our little guy in this and he’s out within 10 minutes. It has 6 different speed settings, 10, 20, and 30 minute timers, and plays nature sounds and lullabies!
Ingenuity Simple Comfort Compact Baby Swing with Wood Toy Bar - Chambray
I don’t know why I didn’t get this sooner but it is an absolute game changer for tummy time. If it’s not on your registry, add it, if you didn’t get it from your registry, buy it!!!! Baby Einstein worked their magic with this one 👏
Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Musical Crib Toy
Postpartum Recs
Using this to spray directly onto yourself after giving birth was a game changer.
Dermoplast Pain, Burn & Itch Relief Spray
Another game changer when making your postpartum pads. So cooling and definitely think they helped speed up my healing process!!!
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
Another amazing postpartum essential. Bulky, but so cooling which is very much needed after giving birth.
Instant Ice Maxi Pads – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Essential. The hospital will likely give you one but having one that can be used upside down like this is so much better.
Peri Bottle
A good, comfy pair of pajamas are essential after having a baby. I got this set from Target and it is SO soft and comfortable. I have to wash them all the time because I wear them multiple times a week!!!
Women's Cozy Ribbed Notch Collar Long Sleeve Shirt and Pants Pajama Set - Auden™ Brown L
