Baby Gear That Worked for Us
Our everyday diapers and wipes. Affordable, easy to find in PH stores and online, and they've been gentle on our baby's skin. Buying the bigger packs saves a lot over time.
Kleenfant Diapers & Wipes
What we use to wash every bottle and nipple before sterilizing. Gets rid of the milky residue and rinses off clean, so I'm not worried about soap left behind. A daily must in our kitchen.
We keep this in the diaper station. A thin layer at changes helps protect against redness, and the small tube fits easily in the diaper bag. Pairs well with the Kleenfant diapers and wipes.
Our everyday bottles. BPA-free, leakproof, and easy to clean with a bottle brush. Our baby took to them without a fuss, which is a big win for any new parent.
Youkebei feeding bottle for baby BPA Free Leakproof
Wash the bottles, load them in, and this sterilizes and dries everything in one go. No more boiling pots at 3am. One of the best time-savers we bought for our newborn.
Cocobb Bottle Sterilizer & Dryer
Soft, comfy, and easy to put on even half-asleep. Keeps baby snug against me so my hands are free for chores, work calls, or a quick walk around the village.
Momcozy Baby Carrier
A budget-friendly mesh carrier that stays breathable in Philippine heat. Simple to adjust and comfortable for short trips and errands with baby.
Zima Baby Carrier
Mosquitoes are no joke here, so we stick one of these on baby's clothes or stroller when we head out. No spraying or rubbing anything on her skin, which gives us peace of mind.
Kleenfant Citronella Patches
Another carrier we use and like. Keeps baby close and secure while leaving my hands free, which makes errands and short outings a lot easier.
Shadrach Baby Carrier
Our everyday stroller. Baby can face you or face out, it folds down for the car, and it comes with a food tray and mosquito net, which is a must here. Great value for the price.
Beige 2-Way Foldable Baby Stroller
Dad Fuel for Night Feeds
My go-to 3-in-1 when I need a sweet pick-me-up after a 2am feeding. Creamy with a caramel kick, cheap, and ready in seconds. Every sari-sari store has it.
Kopiko Creamy Caramelo
When I want it creamier and less sweet, this is the one. A Pinoy classic for a reason: cheap, smooth, and easy to grab anywhere.
Kopiko Blanca
My daily milk for energy. Made for adults, creamy, and it keeps me going on long workdays and short-sleep nights with the baby. Easy to mix and budget friendly.
