Multicolored : Baby Gates & Safety Gates
Violet for Girls and Scout for boys. These are great. You can program your child's name in there and it will refer back to your child. They play music. There's even a spot for playing a set amount of bedtime music. Highly rec this one

We had the non contact but they also have the contact ones. Temporal is so much easier to use on children and adults

As with toothbrushes I recommend using a very small amount of toothpaste. Fluoride free if they can't spit it out yet.

We had the fisher price high chair. It was easy to clean. Fabric came off and was washable. Very durable. We would buy again.

If you have a toddler who loves to throw things on the ground and then watch you pick it up I suggest getting this to save your floors. It did mine 😉

Baby items
The best stroller imo. We loved this stroller. We had the adapter for the car seat and then graduated to the big kid seat. We had the attachment to put two seats on. Large storage underneath. Easy to fold. I would definitely get this again.
Uppababy Vista
My kids loved this car seat. It grew with them and they used it until they were able to get the booster. They still didn't want to switch when the time came. I would definitely do this car seat again if I had more kids (i'm not)
Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat - Carbon (Black/Grey), New
This was great when we lived in apartment and didn't have a lot of space. We also brought it places when we traveled. I would highly recommend for having one in the house.

In the hospital, newborns are put in side snap tees. Make sure you get some for the house. They are great in the beginning while the umbilical cord is healing.

Swaddle Sleeper
Everyone loves this teether. Ours actually liked the ones with the handle the best.

We recommend getting rid of this by four years old (or suffer dental consequences). However, this can be a life saver when they are babies. Just make sure you size up as they get older.
Philips Avent Soothie Pacifiers 3-18m - Green
Once a tooth starts popping out, make sure you brush it every day 2x a day. It will be good for the teeth and help them get used to brushing as well.

For little fingers you need little clippers. Make sure you gey the safety ones.

All 3 of my children and their cousins loved this bouncer. It plays music and has some lights for the water. When they can reach more they can play with the monkey and bird as well. Great source of entertainment for them and a break for you.

These are great for toddlers. Helps catch food before it hits your floor and easy to clean.
Plastic Bibs for Infants | Silicone & Disposable Options
These are the accessories to the grass drying rack. Cute solution to make the kitchen a little more fun.

This is such a cute drying rack. It has flower and tree accessories that you can place wherever on the mat you want. It comes apart for easy cleaning and dishwasher safe. Very durable. We've used the same one for over 12 years!

I love these with the sponge and bristle combo. I still use them on dishes.

These were great for water bottles that have straws or if you use reusable straws in the house

This was my favorite soap. I still use it today. I like the foam and feel like it cleans things with less of a residue.

These were our child's favorite bottles. Just remember when cleaning bottles to disassemble all soft plastic pieces and rings or you will get mold.
Philips Avent products at Target
Love the diaper genie. Helps keep diaper smells from filling the room. Your nose will thank me :)
Diaper Genie products at Target
They sell the small ones that they give you in the hospital. These were very convenient for travel when you don't have time or opportunity to mix them.
Similac Ready-to-Feed Formula Bottles & Powders
These are great for entertaining babies while you are doing stuff. Get one where the chair moves around so as they are older they can swivel to see you.
Baby Exersaucers in Baby Activities & Gear(14)
This was the best thing we used for diaper rash. It helped protect their little butts from further rashes.
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy Skin Protectant
Get some footie baby pj's. Whats nice about these, is the kids can wear them all day. Super easy. Get the ones with foot grips as they get older so they don't slip.

These books are good entertainment for babies. They love making noises. We used to attach them to the car seat carriers so they would have them where ever we went.
Crinkle Books for Babies | Baby Einstein & Mudpuppy Cloth Books
This duck is functional and a perfect toy. My kids loved playing with it in the bath. I would always throw it in first to make sure the water wasn't too hot for them (I myself prefer hot water).
White Hot Ducky | Rubber Ducky | Munchkin Rubber Ducks
You should have one of these in your house. We had to use several times when our baby was sick with a cough to help. I would recommend the one with the air purifier

You never know where you will have to change them on the go. I would recommend getting a travel changing mat to bring on trips with you or to just keep in the car. Why stress?
Baby Diaper Changing Mats & Pads
This author writes my favorite little kids books. I loved reading these to the kids over and over. They have a great rhythm and cute pics. The kids still like to reread them (even though they have them memorized)

Little babies put their hands and mouths everywhere. These cart covers and nice and soft. Its nice not to have to worry about what they are touching while you are shopping!

This diaper bag is super convenient and allows you to stay hands free. Also, when the baby is older you can still use it.

Baby carriers are great to allow you to stay hands free and allow the baby to get some snuggle time. They can really save your arms.
