Feeding
The only bottles that we ever needed. We had a ton of different brands, but this one didn’t leak and sat well with our “spit up” baby. The parts are a little time-consuming to clean, but we still LOVED these bottles.
Dr. Brown's Narrow Glass Baby Bottle Level 1
The best stain remover for everything and anything from poop to carrots to strawberries!
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray
Especially if you have a “spit up” baby, you’ll need these burp cloths! They are super soft and absorbent. We ran through like 6 of these a day. I’d recommend grabbing a few packs!
Muslin Burp Cloths 20" x 10", Pack of 10
The simplest and very affordable high chair. We are still using this at 2.5. Very easy to clean, and you cannot beat the price.
ANTILOP High chair with tray - white/white
This is the fastest and most evenly warming bottle warmer we have ever used. 10/10 recommend!! We even used it to warm up some puréed foods after we surpassed the bottle.
Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer

I can’t imagine a better sound machine. This was great for newborn days when I needed a low, red light on to peek at my baby during the night and/or feed him. The options for sounds and quality is top notch. The sounds automatically coming on at the ...

The only pacifier that worked for us — seriously the best. Pay attention to the size as your baby grows though! This one is for 18m.
Tommee Tippee Pacifier, 18-36 Months
0-6m pacifiers! the only ones that worked for us. I would buy these over and over again, and they are super lightweight.
Tommee Tippee Ultra-Light Pacifier | 0-6m, 4 Pack
Man oh man this is the only swaddle i’ll ever use! These are much, much better quality than competitors, wash well, and have such precious patterns. you can keep the arms in or out on the 0-3m swaddle. The 1 TOG is perfect for every season. and the d...
GUNAMUNA Baby Swaddle Sleep Sack, Arms In or Out

No wifi for our baby monitor! we have had this one for a few years and love it so much.

Postpartum: for Mom
Holy moly. This is your baby manual. It’s so simple and straightforward. I desperately needed someone to just tell me how to take care of a baby — everything from when I needed to feed him, to how I should soothe, to when I should feed solids, etc. T...
Moms on Call Basic Baby Care 0-6 Months
This is great for breastfeeding to put on the opposite breast to catch extra milk! Very easy to clean too.

I personally like the disposable ones. I like how these stay put and last for a while!
Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
This is amazing for on the go or in the middle of the night OR if you’re in pain and just need a quick pump. I used this every single day!!
Medela Manual breast pump
A great pump! I did get mine through insurance, so I would check there first.
Spectra - S2 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump
Because I exclusively pumped, I used these and kept them in the fridge until it was time to bag and freeze or put in a bottle.
Medela Breast Milk Collection and Storage Bottles
Bath
This was great for our baby for less than 6 months. We gave a bath every night. I would recommend putting a towel over it or a muslin baby blanket. This is also very easy to clean.

Get ready for these songs to be stuck in your head and for your baby to be entertained while you’re doing laundry! Such a cute, safe play area for when you just need 2 minutes to do something. Awesome for tummy time too.
