If you're anxious about baby sleeping in the other room, but need some serious space - This monitor is the way to go!

Not having to rush to the bedroom to check if they are still breathing, or if they're awake - Huge help for nervous parents!

1080P High - Performance Video Baby Monitor BM01

Nail File and Buffer

I had no idea I would basically become a nail technician having to file his nails so much to avoid being scratched. This one is so gentle and soft, I feel way better knowing I can't really F it up and baby doesn't notice or mind getting his nails did...

Does not hurt baby at all!! I was so scared to use it, but it's a pain free way to tame those talons! 💅

Pump It GF 🫒🫒

Working on building up milk supply has been helped so muc with this pump! Babe is working on taking a bottle, but it makes me feel better knowing he's got a supply of extra milk in the freezer.

Medela Breast Pumps

Thermometer 🌡️

Seriously, add this to your registry for those ‘what if…’ nights with a fussy baby who may be uncomfortable.

I hate that I needed to use this sooner than I wanted, but I was SO glad I added it to my registry! Calms the nerves when you don't know what's going on with the babe, and what to do when they get the inevitable fever.

Cradle Cap

This one came on for us around 3 months and poor H was so itchy :( , someone gifted us this and I'm so grateful they did!

Life saver for a babies flakey head - I honestly didn't think it would happen to us!

DermaFrida the FLAKEFIXER Cradle Cap System - Sponge, Brush and Comb

Soft Neutral Baby Carrier

Beautiful design and the only way to get sh*t done around the house, work, or even eat.

This is a knockoff of a bigger brand, but I think it's basically the same design for a way better price. It's cozy for both of us and gives you a hands free way to still hang with baby.

Baby Carrier - Neutral Houndstooth

🍑 Wipe Sticks

LOL I have no idea what the technical term is for these, but you dip these into the diaper cream so your hands aren't getting sh*tty LOL. I put the cream on a soft cloth and use it for diaper rash. Again - Who knew?!

Butt spatula LOL - I had to ask what these were for when I received these from my registry, but I use these like everyday.

Cutie Outfits

I mean .. How do you not go nuts with all the cute clothing for babies?! These are just a few of my favourites!

Soooo soft and H basically lives in the sleeper onesies. I love the multi packs and I got a lot from my baby shower. I wish they made them in adult sizes 😅

Baby Boy Clothes | Carter's Oshkosh Canada

I was surprised at how often the Gap would have major sales, especially for holiday wear, so keep your eye out for the fun outfits - I'll never miss an opportunity to dress him up! 🧸

Poppin Bottles 🍼🍼

H is breast fed now, but when we were in the hospital, and a few weeks after, he was on some bottle feeding - We are trying to get him back on the juice (breast milk) from a bottle as mamma needs to go to work!

We love these, because they are glass and you can interchange the nipple for fussier feeders.

Sleep 😴

For when nothing is working… And, you're exhausted!

Shhhh 🤫 - You're going to become a pro ‘shusher’ OR you can get this handy device that does the work for you - SO many sounds and settings that help your sanity when they just won't sleep. 😅 I go the on the go one, because we are walking, bouncing,...

Diapers 🧷🧷

The first week, we literally went through 80 diapers 😳 - Do yourself a favour and get your partner's buddys to host a diaper party and request the best! No shame - you've done it for others, haven't you?

Canadian 🇨🇦 non toxic diaper brand that I LOVE. Sizing is a bit wonky, bc H is long and narrow, so he is only now in the size 1 at 3 months! But, I love that there's no funny business in these diapers.

Box of Bamboo Diapers

Clean, non-toxic, safe for your baby's booty. And, another Canadian brand I love to support.

Box of Unbleached Bamboo Baby Wipes

🎒Why are diaper bags insanely expensive!? I had a gift card for lulu, so I used it towards this bag and I'm so glad I did! I can eventually use it as a travel bag for myself with all the handy pockets. I take it everywhere for those just in case mom...

Play ▶️

‘Wake windows’ are actually so stressful for me, because I'm not a naturally playful person. These helped me in those months where you're like, ‘ok, what can you even register at this age?’ Turns out a LOT. These toys and tools helped keep it fresh a...

Baby Gear

So far, we haven't needed to fill our home with too many things, but these are the ones that let you take a shower, or have a hot min when you've been with babe allllll day and allll night.

Rest assured that baby is safe and protected while you get stuff done at home, or just put them down for a hot min! So cute and cozy.

C-Section Recovery

I was gutted to have an unplanned c-section, so I was not prepared for the recovery, but these items made it a bit more bearable. Honestly, it still sucks and I'm still recovering, but I'm so glad I grabbed these.

This helped me big time in the early weeks post surgery. My back was killing me, but my abs were non-existent/ still healing. This gave me the support I needed to lift and feed baby.
