Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic Narrow Bottle
I swear by these silicone bottle brushes! They last 10 times longer, don't get all nasty and sticky, doesn't rip while cleaning small/tight spaces, and don't collect bacteria

I have never met a baby who doesn't like these ones!!!

I absolutely love these for meals and while in a highchair! As they get older, they also come in handy on teaching them how to use a cup without a lid!

sleep/lounging
The best swing ever! Works just like the mamaroo but 80% of the price!!!

No point to waste $200+ on a bassinet when this works the same exact way, but can also be used the entire first year old their lives!
Graco Pack 'n Play® On The Go™ Playard, Kaden
I never understood spending $70+ on something they can only use for maybe 12 months, these are cheaper and wayyyy more cute!!!

clothing/swaddles
Skip all the swaddle blankets, these are much easier, and my kiddos loved them!!
Organic Cotton Baby Swaddles 0-3 Months, 2-Pack Blue Dinosaur
These are so perfect to have during the newborn stage, as they grow so fast early on, spending lots of money on cute outfits is so pointless, and during postpartum I hated leaving the house, so these were my bestie!!!!
Gerber Baby Multi-pack Long-sleeve Onesies
toys/activities
I SWEAR BY THESE THINGS!!! Do not get the boring beige ones, your babies don’t want that!! They have soooo many cute options to choose from!!

Both my babies loved these, they are light weight and super easy for them to hold by theirselves!!
