On-the-Go Must Haves
Getting out of the house with a baby can feel overwhelming, but the right gear makes all the difference. These are my go-to car seat, stroller, and diaper bag must-haves that keep baby safe, comfortable, and calm while making mom life easier on the g...
I absolutely love this stroller! It has been through everything with us, from newborn to now - can’t believe it’s almost been a year already. I go on daily walks with this and it’s withstood rocky terrain, sand, dirt paths. Love it!
Modes™ Nest Travel System
This is the travel stroller we use and I absolutely love it! It’s lightweight, easy to transport and great for travel which we do a lot since we have family on the other side of the country!
Ultra Air Compact Travel Stroller
Having this helped lessen my anxiety of not being able to see my son while I was driving
Itomoro Baby Car Mirror, Wide Crystal View
Great for when you’re traveling! I use this when at the airport in the nursing rooms to put my son to sleep and it helps sooo much. Also can use during car rides, etc.
Dreamegg White Noise Machine - Portable Sound ...
If you live in a warm area you need a fan! I’m telling you this stays in my diaper bag and I whip it out on all our walks or anytime it’s over 70 degrees outside. It helps to keep him cool and happy
AMACOOL Battery Operated Stroller Fan Clip
A LIFESAVER!!! Gives me somewhere to put my phone and water bottle or coffee when I’m out and about with my son (which is very often). I even hide my pepper spray in the middle pouch
Best Baby Stroller Organizers
Highly recommend a travel changing pad because no one wants to lay their baby down to change in public on those nasty restroom changing tables! It also gives you a place to change your baby on while in public
Best Portable Changing Pads
This is kind of self explanatory - you always need to prepare for if something happens while you’re out!
General Medi Mini 110-Piece First Aid Kit
Great for messes on the go and those smelly diaper changes that have to happen in the trunk of the car because there’s no changing pad inside the restroom at the store/restaurant
Diaper Disposal Bags
Great lightweight cover for those cold winter days. You can lay it on top of your baby after you buckle them into their car seat or while thy they’re sitting in their stroller
Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blankets
Skincare
LOVE Honest sensitive skin for my son! We’ve been using this since he was 3 months old, his skin is super sensitive and this is the only one that hasn’t broken him out and we’ve tried a lot of different brands.
Sensitive Collection
We use this everyday during his bedtime routine after his baths and every morning on his face, arms and legs. It keeps his dry skin moisturized and doesn’t break him out! 10/10

Breastfeeding & Pumping Must Haves
Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding, these essentials make the process easier and less stressful. From nipple cream and burp cloths to a reliable breast pump and bottle warmer—these are the items that kept me fed, sane, and prep...
The ultimate breast pump!! Highly recommend a hospital grade breast pump if you’re going to be pumping at home. This is the one I used when I first got home from the hospital and it helped to build my milk supply. 10/10 recommend
S2 Plus | Hospital Strength Breast Pump
This nipple cream saved my nipples while I was pumping!! It helped the cracking and dryness you’ll experience especially if it’s your first baby
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ Cream
You will need these because those first 6-12 weeks you will leak A LOT. To avoid those breast milk stained shirts I would put these in my nursing bras
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
These bags are great because of the spout that they have! I have yet to see another type of bag that has this, SUPERRR convenient for when you’re pouring the milk so it doesn’t get everywhere
Motif Medical Breastmilk Storage Freezer Bags
Super important to stay hydrated while breastfeeding!! These make it AND they’re sugar free
Sugar-Free
