Baby Registry - Top Recs!

Baby Bottle emoji 17 items
I spent HOURS (and hours) combing through reviews on hundreds of products when building out my registry. I wanted to make sure I only purchased things I would truly use and (hopefully) love. I'm proud to say all of that hard work paid off and that th...

Sleep Recs

Getting good sleep in our house quickly became the number one priority after months of sleepless nights and big breakdowns lol. We hired a sleep consultant who shared some great tips and a number of recommendations on things we could purchase to assi...

Pricy but if I could recommend one product for expecting moms, it's this one! Kept my anxiety at bay by providing real time insights into oxygen levels, heart rate, etc while sleeping. Gave me back some much needed rest because I knew if there was ev...

The best sleep sack! Perfect to use when transitioning from a swaddle to being hands free. Helps with the moro reflex transition - my baby LOVED this suit!

Awesome alternative for traditional blackout curtains. These suction directly onto the window behind the blinds and can be folded to fit a number of different sized windows. This has worked so well for our baby and really helped improve his sleep!

This is my sons favorite sleep sack! We use it every night and transitioned into this from the merlin suit once he was ready (and starting to roll!). I have a couple of these I rotate through.

The best sound machine + nightlight. You can select a number of different sounds (white/brown noise, ocean waves, etc.) and all sorts of colors for the nightlight. We like to set it to red to keep the room cozy. It's also controlled via an app so you...

Bath + Skincare

We LOVE bath time in this house! I definitely over-purchased items in this category - so much of it we didn't end up needing/using so I'm just including the basics here. A good bathtub, a few items to keep their skin clean/soft, and some other misc. ...

Best product for keeping your baby clean in between bath days! I've talked about this product at length. I add a little to a cotton pad and wipe down the ‘problem’ areas (under neck, in between fingers, feet, etc.) to keep him nice and clean until hi...

Best little bathtub for babies! We put a hook on the shower wall and hang it up after every use to keep it out of the way. For reference, my baby is now 5 months and starting to outgrow it but it lasted us up until this point and was used multiple ti...

If you can't tell, we are big Mustela fans in this house. This brand has been around for ages and doesnt irritate my babies sensitive skin at all. This wash doubles as shampoo and body wash and smells divine! Not too overpowering, just subtle enough....

Misc Recs

A catchall list for all of the random products that didnt quite fit into the other categories but are still staples in our house! Teething tools, bottle washers, etc. The fun never stops! :)

The BEST bottle washer/dryer/sterilizer in one. It has saved me countless hours spent hand washing/sterilizing. I run this big boy every.single.night. It doesn't just wash bottles either - I throw in all of my pump parts, his pacifiers/teething toys/...

Teething relief gel! We keep these in the fridge for added relief. You put about a pea sized about on your finger and rub it directly onto their little gums. My baby immediately smiles/relaxes - he loves this product so much. It comes in a 2 pack - o...

Just trust me on this one. I have multiple bottles of this stuff - one in my laundry room, one in my car, one in my stroller. It's the best stain remover for blowouts or any other stain for that matter - we use it on our clothes too!

Wake window + play time!

Keeping my baby entertained in ways that felt good to me has been quite the mission! Below are a list of toys/activities that we've used at some point in our journey that he genuinely enjoyed. As he grows, these activities change but for now this is ...

My son is obsessed with this mat. It has all the bells and whistles - things to grab, songs to sing, a piano to push on with his little feet. Keeps him occupied long enough to give me a chance to scarf down some breakfast and a quick coffee if im luc...

Makes tummy time even more enjoyable for babies. We put this pillow on his monkey mat (linked in wake window section as well) ,directly under the toys that dangle and he loves it. What used to be a struggle is now an activity he enjoys.

Great activity for the early days when their vision starts to improve. My baby loved staring at these cards - we would move them side to side and up and down and let his head/eyes follow along. It felt like a great activity for him and was easy to do...

Best baby bouncer! It's a little $ but you get your moneys worth real quick with this one. We use it all the time! I put him in it and strap him in if I need to run to the bathroom quickly or make a quick snack (obviously keeping eyes on him at all t...

This snaps directly onto the Baby bjorn bouncer. Our baby loves to spin the toys around and look at the different colors. It keeps him extra occupied - just long enough for me to make a quick snack which is a gamechanger for me these days
