Baby’s Self Care 🧖♀️
Gentle essentials to keep your little one clean, comfy, and happy every day.
this is my go-to diaper cream for the last 12 years. I always suggest it to parents who are dealing with a rash from hell that just won’t budge or go away.
Boudreaux's Butt Paste Baby Diaper Rash Cream Maximum Strength - 4oz
I preferred luvs for my boys. It seemed to hold their urine without leaks and also provided good coverage.
Luvs products at Target
I preferred pampers for my girls. A lot to do with coverage being able to keep them from leaking too. I know this is such an odd theory but I swear I tested many!

wonderful formula that helps baby relax and enjoy their bath time. We loved using this as part of their nighttime routine. It definitely makes them a little sleepy. No harsh chemicals in this. All natural things 🌱

Saline Nasal Spray for those snotty noses and they seem like they cannot breathe well. This works well with just a spray in each nostril to help clear.
Nasal Spray : Baby Medicine
you are going to think I’m nuts but even Janet from the TV show The Valley uses this for her baby. It sucks out the snot from your baby’s nose by you using your mouth for suction. It’s a neat contraption!
Target
these nail clippers come with a magnifying glass so you can see their nails close up. It is awesome especially for those tiny little nail beds.

I love the Cetaphil brand! When our younger son got a horribly dry skin as an infant, our pediatrician recommended the brand to us. It saved his baby skin from peeling so bad.
Baby Wash and Shampoo
I really enjoyed this thermometer when we had our twins. It was very easy to use and did not wake them if we needed mid night temp checks. (Boo RSV)

Bedtime 😴
For safer naps, smoother nights, and everything in between.
these are amazing! We preferred to practice the safe sleep method and keep as much clutter out of the cribs. These wearable blankets gave us a peace of mind while also keeping our babies cozy and warm.
Sleepsack® Wearable Blankets - Halo Sleep
these cotton muslin blankets are awesome for the spring and summer months when you want to keep baby warm but not overheated with the evening temperatures always changing.
Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blankets
Tons of moms swear by this swing in order to buy themselves maybe 5 mins to use the restroom. baby feels like they are being swayed in your arms. very useful.

Another 🔥HOT🔥 staple if you plan on breastfeeding your sweet little bundle of joy. You can wipe off the balm between feedings but it is also safe enough for it to be left on too. I personally love how it is organic so you’re not putting some questi...
Lansinoh Organic Nipple Balm - 2oz
this is one of the two bottle types that I recommend to any mama who has a newborn that needs to flex feed (formula supported breastfeeding journey) my babes did not have any issues with nipple confusion with these bottles.
Natural Start Baby Bottle
If you plan on breastfeeding, I always recommend going to Target for nursing bras. They have many different styles and multiple different sizes that are inclusive to everyone.
Nursing Bras
You can never have enough options that work with your breastfeeding journey. I had a nursing scarf , a nursing tank top that unhooked like a bra, and also a nursing long sleeve. very easy and hassle free when you have a hungry babe in your arms.
