Toys & Teethers
Super easy to hold and has multiple textures to explore!
Frida Baby Baby Teethers in Baby & Toddler Toys(3)
Super easy for babies to grab! I love that I can connect them to make a chain long enough to attach other toys and attach it to the car seat or stroller. If the toy is dropped it doesn’t fall to the ground. 👏🏽
Bright Starts Lots of Links Toy
Not as annoying as I thought it would be 😅 and it got us through many car rides!

For the Tatas
Very helpful if you have a baby who only nurses on one side. We love a good multitask system, nurse on one side and use the haakaa on the other.

Pump straight into a bag and skip having to wash a bottle. Need I say more?!
Breastmilk Storage Bag Adapters for Spectra S1 S2 Pumps
This nursing bra is so soft and super stretchy. You can pull it down or pull it up to nurse. It also has a criss cross function due to the double lined fabric that allows it to be used for pumping.

Clothes
Skip the socks, these little booties actually stay on!

These convertible magnetic onesies are so soft and stretchy. I love that the foot and hand cuffs are foldable- turning into them into footies and mittens.

Diaper changes
We went through a few different brands and this one actually worked. It cleared the diaper rash right up!
Triple Paste products at Target
This is something you’d appreciate after a chaotic diaper change and you’re trying to single handily trying to shove the wipes back into the package so you can close it. 🫠 No need for all that nonsense when you can simply close the lid.
OXO Perfect Pull Flushable Wipes Dispenser
Feeding
These come in a variety of colors and they are actually absorbent!
5-Pack Lumi Muslin Burp Cloths
If you plan to pump, this is an absolute time saver. It washes, sterilizes and drys. Sure it will live on your counter for the unforeseeable future but you won’t be wasting your time handwashing so MANY parts. 😮💨

Sleeping
It’s portable and sleek for travel. The sound quality is great and it has an adjustable night light. This has become our night light for middle of the night diaper changes and feedings.

This was so much easier than trying to figure out a wrap or muslin swaddle.Velcro strap on the inside to keep arms down and zipper on the outside. They make a transition swaddle as well when you’re ready to put one or both arms out.
