We went with the newton for its breathable mattress… baby sleeps like an angel. We are soon transitioning to the crib where he will also have a newton mattress 😴

A nap time favorite! Perfect for 0-2 months (or when baby grows out of it). Always be near baby while napping in the lounger, don’t leave them unattended!

Our go to swaddle! Much more simple than learning how to properly swaddle with a traditional swaddle. You get multi use out of these for when baby is ready to transitioning to having his or her arms out!

We tried 10+ bottles, and these are the winner! The narrow mouth allows babies to latch more easily. The anti-colic parts are amazing and worth the extra hassle when washing! These are the bottles used in NICUs across the country!

I didn’t fall for the “hospital grade” is best… I used these pumps starting day 2 of my pumping journey and was producing up to 8oz per side! Hospital grade isn’t the only pump that will allow you to empty 🩵

I used this for 2 days over the spectra- reviews told me it was just as good and I would agree! I switched to complete wearable pumps just for convenience and simplicity but still recommend!

We chose this tub over the angel seat because of its simplicity! We have it on top of the bathroom counter and the tub provides the water temp and baby’s weight! A perfect way to keep track of your baby’s weight gain in between those doctor visits.
