items There’s nothing that can make being a first-time mom easy, but there are several things that can make it easier.
I have 3 baby carriers but this is hands-down my most used one. I bring it everywhere. Tip: get a pattern or colour that you think you can work into your wardrobe best. I treat my carrier like part of my outfit.
The Monarch Baby Carrier by Mabe
My coffee is a non-negotiable but until I got this mug, I never managed to drink it while it was hot. Now even if it takes me 2 hours to finish my coffee, I can enjoy it the whole time. The ceramic lining means my coffee doesn’t taste like nickels.
Rambler® 414 ml Stackable Mug
Getting outside daily is key for my mental health. Rain boots have made it much harder for me to come up with an excuse not to, even if the weather sucks.

I haven’t done my hair in days. This is the only way I can go outside.
New York Yankees Core Classic Home 9TWENTY Adjustable Hat
I spend a lot of time in PJs and these are unbeatable. Lightweight (for the postpartum night sweats), soft, and breastfeeding friendly. I have 2 pairs and they’re on a constant rotation.
Love & Lore PJs
A oversized white button down shirt gives you endless outfit possibilities. Breastfeeding friendly and made the first few months of getting dressed so much easier.
