Baby Must Haves
26
items All the things I used and still use for our baby! I like to shop inexpensive when I can, but am not afraid to splurge on certain things, (especially when it comes to safety) so, you’ll find things of all price ranges here! Feel free to comment with a...
We used this every single day! You can also purchase removable covers that are easy to change out to wash or to change colors!
Snuggle Me Lounger
Didn’t get this until roughly 4 months post partum & my only regret is not buying it sooner. I load bottles, pacis, and even the dreaded pump parts in here. Everything comes out clean, sanitized, and dried! It also gets that pesky breastmilk film...
MOMFANN Baby Bottle Washer - 19 Min Rapid Wash
We returned a different monitor that was WiFi after one, constantly having connection issues & two, hearing horror stories about WiFi monitors getting hacked! We aren’t paranoid people, but we’ll do whatever we can to keep our baby safe! We love ...
HelloBaby No WiFi Baby Monitor 5" Screen 30H Battery
Everyone swore by these pacis & we couldn’t figure out why! We tried a bunch of others & while our girl didn’t mind them, she seemed to always struggle to hold onto them. Still aren’t sure what’s different about these ones but they are her ab...
BIBS Pacifiers Collection | Safe & Stylish Designs
The only other paci we use! We have multiple around the house because, trust, they go missing out of nowhere, so you’ll want extra! Only other paci our girl can hold onto!
FRIGG - Award Winning Pacifiers | 100% Made in Denmark
We use this every time we leave the house! Even if you plan to breastfeed, you never know when you may need this! It helped me keep fresh pumped milk cold in the early days when I was pumping more than baby was eating & to this day we use it when...
Skip Hop Baby Breastmilk Cooler Bag Chevron
A must have even if you plan on breastfeeding or using a bottle washer! We have used our bottle washer every single day since we bought it, but we STILL use this drying grass! Our girl is still a baby, but I know a lot of people who continue to use t...
Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack, Green
Bought this for a long road trip & ended up using it whenever we were out of the house for extended periods of time & during my 12 hours nursing shifts! This has different methods to keep your milk cold depending on how much you’re keeping co...
FROSH Stainless Steel Portable Milk Chiller
We did SO MUCH RESEARCH on infant car seats, strollers, and travel systems. In the end we went with the Chicco Keyfit 35 that came with the Chicco Corso LE Modular Travel system! This stroller lays nearly completely flat so you don’t need a separate ...
Corso LE ClearTex Modular Travel System
Just buy it. 😮💨 we went through SO MANY CARRIERS! Not sure what the deal was but our girl hated most! We had a wrap carrier we loved for newborn days, but once she got more squirmy and needed more support we could not find a carrier that was comfo...
Happy Baby Original Baby Carrier
We have had and still have multiple bottle warmers. This is hands down our favorite one. Why? Because we know it will be 98.6° every single time. Other bottle warmers either end up making our bottles come out scorching or still cold. Doesn’t matter i...
Munchkin 98° Digital Bottle Warmer w/ Adapters
You will want some type of stroller organization for yourself. We have this one and we love it. It has plenty of room for bottles, coffees 😉, pacis, toys, keys, phone, cash, etc. It is universal and adjustable to fit the needs of your stroller and i...
Skip Hop Universal Stroller Organizer, Black
Babies digestive systems are very immature. Most babies struggle at some point or another with gas pains. We had this on our baby registry as I didn’t want to be stuck without it at 3am. We used it A LOT!!! I think whether or not it really helps trul...
MYLICON Infants Gas Relief Drops, Dye Free
I’ll never be able to say enough good things about this product. We bought it for “peace of mind” thinking we would likely never use it. Well, we used it, and continue to use it every single night. For a while, we also used to during every nap, but w...
Owlet Baby Monitor
Makes making batches of formula SO much easier! Instead of mixing each individual bottle, this pitcher helps you mix up a whole days worth at once if you want to! It really helps to mix the formula quickly and the formula gets fully dissolved instead...
Dr. Brown's® Formula Mixing Pitcher
We chose this crib because of the storage drawer at the bottom and we’re so glad we did! We planned to just put diapers, wipes, etc, in the top drawer of the dresser, but it really wasn’t deep enough, so this has been perfect! We ended up never using...
Hadley 4-in-1 Convertible Crib with Drawer
One of the bottles we chose to use! This is an anti colic bottle, but unlock some other bottles, it doesn’t have a million and one pieces, just the green piece you see inside. You can remove the green piece as your baby gets older, however we have le...
Compare our Anti-colic baby bottles
Was gifted this as a baby shower gift along with another cult favorite nursing pillow! I ended up using the other one for our baby to lounge in and mostly used this one for nursing. It was less stiff, softer, and easier to maneuver than the other one...
V-Shaped Nursing Pillow Made in USA | Award-Winning
An absolute MUST HAVE. This was a non- negotiable for me. I wanted to make sure we had the most breathable crib mattress on the market & this one is worth every penny. I am very safety conscious and when this mattress arrived at our house, I laid...
Essential Crib Mattress
We have used this every single night since our girl was born & I even took it with me when we went to the hospital. It has dim light that you can make brighter if you need to! It is baby safe, not hot, and also has different color settings! It ha...
MediAcous Kids Night Light, 7 Colors, Timer
Love this sound machine! We never planned to use a sound machine in our nursery, and we ended up using one, so this is this one we use in there! It takes up very little space, has multiple settings, and stays charged for a long time! We initially got...
Portable Baby Sound Machine - 12 Soothing Sounds, Timer, 15H Battery
I love this pump! I got this at roughly 4 months post partum when my other cult favorite blue pump of a different brand died. I was worried I would have the same experience and honestly couldn’t tell where the defect was with the pump or if I had jus...
Genie Advanced Portable Breast Pump
A Pack N’ Play! Even if you won’t be traveling! We got this exact one and our baby never slept in it but she would play around in it & bat at the toys! It was nice to just have a safe place to set her for a second if we had to! We did not get the...
Graco Pack 'n Play On the Go Playard - Kaden
Hear me out. I did not think we’d ever use this. I had it on my registry for my work baby shower and someone bought it for me. I held onto for months thinking we would end up returning it. We just were using our garbage can in our master bath since w...
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail, Odor Locking, No Bag
A goodie! We actually have TWO favorite bath tubs, & this is one. We were using our other favorite when we took a trip home & my Mom had picked this one up for our girl to keep at her house & we realized how much she LOVED it because she ...
