My Favourite Baby Essentials
18
items After eight babies, I’ve tried A LOT of baby stuff. 😂 These are the baby essentials I genuinely loved, used, and would recommend—from sleep sacks and clothing to everyday products that actually made life with a baby easier. If I were starting over w...
Literally one of my favourite sleep bags. SO soft and cozy. I loved these once my babies were out of the swaddling stage because they could stay cozy without needing a loose blanket in the crib. Plus… baby in a tiny sleep sack 🥹
Kyte Baby | The Original Bamboo Sleep Bag™
My babies LIVED in these. They’re unbelievably soft and cozy, and I especially loved the bamboo fabric for my babies who had sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Also: zippy footies forever because nobody has time for 47 snaps during a 3 a.m. diaper change.

HOW are pacifiers this cute?! These were some of my babies’ favourites and I loved the simple shape and all the gorgeous colours. One of those rare baby things I didn’t mind seeing scattered all over my house.
BIBS Official Webshop | High-quality pacifiers and baby products
An absolute lifesaver during my breastfeeding days. I’d use it on one side while baby nursed on the other and was SHOCKED by how much milk I could collect that otherwise would have gone to waste. Such a simple little thing, but one of my favourite br...
Haakaa
LOVE this sound machine. We started using it for white noise when they were little, but I especially love that it grows with them—you can create different colours and sounds for bedtime and wake-up time and control everything from your phone. We use ...
Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine & Night Light
Eight kids. I've tried A LOT of car seats. 🤣 And the Nuna PIPA is my favourite infant seat I’ve used. I loved how easy it was to use, especially paired with the stroller, and it was one of those baby purchases that made getting out of the house feel...
Nuna PIPA™ rx Infant Car Seat | With Reclining RELX Base
I’ve gone through A LOT of baby gear over eight kids, and this is such a good stroller. It has a really smooth ride, folds easily, works with an infant car seat and feels sturdy without being a nightmare to maneuver. One of those bigger baby purchase...
Nuna mixx - bassinet / stroller ?? - May 2025 Babies | Forums
Having eight kids means I have tried an unreasonable number of car seats. The Foonf is my favourite once baby is ready to move on from the infant seat. It feels incredibly solid, has great extended rear-facing capabilities, and I loved using it with ...
Clek Foonf Convertible Car Seat for Infants and Toddlers
My favourite diaper bag—and apparently I loved it enough that I still use it even though I don’t have babies in diapers anymore. It actually looks like a bag I WANT to carry instead of screaming “DIAPERS ARE IN HERE.” Mine is pink, obviously.

One of my absolute favourite baby keepsakes. They create your baby’s birth poster at their actual 1:1 birth size, which is just 🥹. We have ours and I love being able to look back and see exactly how tiny they once were.

These were always so easy to work into our baby routine. It’s just a tiny drop, which I MUCH preferred to trying to convince a baby to swallow a whole dropper of something. Definitely one of those little baby-stage things I always kept on hand.
Ddrops Baby 400 IU Vitamin D 90 Drops
Such a cute little monitor! I especially loved that it works through an app because we could have multiple cameras set up and check on two babies from the same place. Really handy when you’ve got more than one little person sleeping somewhere in the ...

Cloth diapering looks WAY more intimidating than it actually is! Once you figure out your little wash-and-use routine, it becomes second nature—and there are so many ridiculously cute prints now. I cloth diapered for a few of mine and would absolutel...
Amazon.com: Cloth Diapers
If cloth diapers aren’t your thing, these are such a cute disposable option. I love the prints, they’re nice and soft, and because if you're like me, even diapers need to be adorable when you have a baby.

I keep little baskets like these ALL over the house when I have babies and toddlers… and teens, honestly. Diapers and wipes in one, toys in another, stray homework forgotten somewhere else—basically tiny emergency stations everywhere so I’m not runni...
TIMEYARD Woven Storage Basket with Tassel
Not the fun or cute baby purchase, but one I wanted to have in the house. I keep a choking rescue device accessible in our kitchen as an emergency backup. Important: this doesn’t replace learning infant/child choking first aid or following emergency-...
LifeVac Travel Kit - Choking Rescue Device
My FAVOURITE baby carrier. I used mine from the baby stage well into toddlerhood and found it so comfortable, even for longer stretches of baby wearing. When you need both hands but your baby has decided being put down is a personal betrayal… baby ca...
Snow - Aerial Carrier
These swaddles are SO cute and I love the soft, neutral prints. They’re lightweight and breathable, and I used muslin blankets for everything—swaddling, stroller blankets, nursing covers, burp cloths… basically whatever baby decided we needed that da...
