Cleaning & Mess Control
The ONLY cleaner I’ve found that gets rid of baby poop on clothes! Use before tossing in the washing machine.
UTAMARO Laundry Soap
This is my secret weapon for really messy diaper changes — especially when poop is dried on or hard to wipe off. It gets everything clean without irritating baby’s skin.
Medline Remedy No-Rinse Foam Cleanser 8oz
Sleep & Soothing
Doesn’t use WiFi, so the connection is always reliable — no lag, no dropouts, no hacking. I also love having a dedicated parent unit instead of relying on my phone. It’s simple and secure.
Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO Baby Monitor 720P HD
This is my go-to night light for middle-of-the-night feeds. The soft glow doesn’t wake the whole room and you just flip it to turn it on or off.
Baby Night Light, Soft Silicone, Eye Care
I’ve tried a few humidifiers before and always ended up frustrated - they’d get gross inside and were impossible to clean. This one is much easier to care for: most of the parts are dishwasher-safe and the mold-inhibiting design helps keep the inside...
Canopy Nursery Humidifier 2.0, 36HR, 2.5L
Everyday Essentials
Total lifesaver for bottle and pump part cleanup. No more hand washing or wasting a full dishwasher cycle, and the hose drains the dirty water straight into the sink so you don’t have to dump a tank. It just makes everything feel easier.
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer & Sterilizer
So handy to be able to grab this and go and have access to everything you need for a diaper change - changing pad, diaper, wipes, diaper cream, hand sanitizer. I also clipped on a roll of disposable bags for dirty diapers or soiled clothes.
Tiny Twinkle Portable Waterproof Baby Changing Pad
Limits the funky diaper smell, no expensive refill bags, and it still looks cute in the nursery.
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail, Odor Locking, White
This bath grows with your baby from newborn to toddler. The sling is perfect for newborns, the seat supports sitters, and the open tub works for toddlers - all in one.
Skip Hop 4-in-1 Baby Bath Tub with Sling
Incredibly soft, stretchy, and comfortable over your bump. I bought two pairs so I’d always have a clean one ready for my hospital go-bag. I recommend these to every pregnant person I know.
ZOOSIXX Soft Black Wide Leg Pajama Pants
Recommended by our Lactation Consultant. Tried a few types of bottles and this is what ended up working for my breastfed babies.
Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles 5oz 3ct
I love this carrier - the back carry option is one of my favorite features. It’s super soft and comfortable on both me and baby, even during all-day outings, and feels like a fun little bougie touch in the best way. It’s stylish without sacrificing f...
I truly didn’t think anything would work with my paci-obsessed toddler… but this actually did. The weaning process was so much easier and less emotional than I expected.
Frida Baby Silicone Paci Weaning System BPA Free
Attach one of these to the changing pad and diaper bag! Easy disposal for dirty diapers or a way to segregate soiled clothes.
