100%, use every single day especially as baby gets older! It’s so nice having a little clean spot for just her to play on, lick, rub her face, and more without working about whether or not I’ve vacuumed today. Super light weight, easy set up/take dow...

Diaper Genie
Great crib! We wanted as few things as possible with our baby. This crib goes with them, super super sturdy, easy set up, I brought the box in myself 30 weeks pregnant (but it is a bit heavy), reliable brand. You simply cannot beat a reliable brand w...
Graco Benton 5-in-1 Convertible Crib White
Listen, I was anti changing table. JuSt UsE tHe DrEsSeR. Girl my back has aged 10 years. This is the perfect height and has all the space on the shelves for diaper caddies, extra burp cloths, little laundry basket, and more. Doesn’t take up a lot of ...

Another 11/10 diaper pail. This one is on the main floor since it’s a bit more discreet than the diaper genie due to size but works just as amazing

These rock, keep one on every floor and in the car! Keeps everything nice and organized so it’s super quick and easy to grab what you need. So simple but an easily forgotten about thing
Nursery Storage & Organization | Diaper Caddy
Faveeeee burp cloths! Come in a good size pack, super soft, good absorbency, and long. Honestly, having BIG burp cloths is a game changer. These are the perfect length to lay long way for baby’s head to turn side to side and also to put over your sho...

S1 Plus | Rechargeable Double Breast Pump
I have three and it’s fully not even enough. Any milk needs to be the same temp before mixing per the CDC. Putting extra in these makes it so much easier. They’re small so they take up little space but they hold like up to 7-8 ounces. So much easier ...

BD - Bouncers & Rockers
This BUT don’t waste the money on the sheets, just use a blanket like we did. Baby chilled in this basically non stop after the hospital because I had a c section and it was very hard to hold her comfortably. Put it in the couch, on the floor, on the...
Infant Loungers
I wish I could go back in time and tell my early mom self to get this before my baby was born. She HATED the bath…probably because it was way too cold! This has absolutely changed the bath game. And I’m obsessed with the color changing mode to show t...
Baby Bath Thermometer, Digital Water Temp
Amazinggggg! Supper gentle, no weird smell, worked after the first few washes, AND inexpensive. Basically every baby gets cradle cap so having something on deck is a must. Make sure to get the shampoo and the lotion. The lotion makes baby’s hair a bi...
Cradle Cap Products for Babies & Newborns
The holy grail swaddle!!! Our hospital gave us one and if it wasn’t for that, our baby would have literally never slept. You can get these bad boys TIGHT and they grow with your baby. They have fleece and cotton ones. Our baby still (at almost 6 mont...

Yoofoss Mini Crib Pack and Play Sheets 2-Pack
Okay hear me out, it’s a bit difficult to use the very first time but it’s so easy to pick it up. This was a literal life saver in the first 6 weeks of life. She wasn’t big enough for a shaped carrier so this was the only option. She slept 100% of th...
Quality Baby Wrap Carrier for Newborn
Babe if you’re going to pump with any non-wireless pump, you need a bra that holds the cups. Can you do it without? Yes. Would I recommend? HECK no. You have to sit there and hold the pump to your boobs for however long you pump. Girl you don’t want ...
Momcozy Hands Free Adjustable Pumping Bra
This is relatively large which is a bit annoying in my opinion but it’s very much so worth the space taken up. We have almost all hardwood in our house so having a soft area for little girl to roll around and play on is an about must!!
Childlike Behavior XL 72x48-Inch Foam Play Mat

Ddrops Baby 400 IU Vitamin D, 90 Drops
I owe tommee tippee ultralight pacifiers my soul. I would have lost sanity looooong ago if it wasn’t for these. The reviews are amazing and it was truly the other pacifier my BF baby would take. She’s almost 6 months now and still only takes these. T...
Baby Pacifiers | Tommee Tippee US
This was actually a recommendation from my baby’s physical therapist to help with holding, grasping, shaking, and passing hand to hand. Honestly, I was skeptical like what’s so special about a rattle…? My baby is in love with this!! It’s her toy of c...
