My recommendations as a mom of 3. Tried and true recs as well as things I haven’t used but would absolutely buy if I had another baby, knowing what I know after 3 kids.
This looks AMAZING. After 3 kids, I usually just use a blanket or burp cloth to cover while I get my boob out to feed if I’m in public. But it usually falls or is hard to keep in place. This would be perfect for that!
Muslin Multi-use Blanket
Just like on my other list, this would be a must have! Great for on-the-go pumping!
Momcozy M5 Hands-Free Wearable Electric Breast Pump Set
This is such a good pillow and would definitely buy again!
Nursing Pillow
I would definitely use this portable milk cooler to keep milk cool until we got home to put it in the fridge/freezer. So convenient.
WILLOW Portable Breast Milk Cooler
Absorbent pads for your boobs are essential for those first few days/weeks when your milk is getting regulated. Definitely get these so you don’t leak all over your shirts.
Organic Reusable Breast Pads
I’ve used Kindred Bravely bras for babies 2 and 3. I love them, easy to clasp, and wash well.
Pumping & Nursing Bra
These are a genius idea. You can freeze milk in 0.25oz portions, with a whole tray being 2oz. Great option for people who don’t bottle feed often and can really adjust how much milk they need per feed.
Evenflo Breast Milk Storage Silicone Tray
We have loved Nuk bottles as well as Mam. These look like a great option for a more breast-like bottle.
NUK Perfect Match - Slow Flow
Our babies have liked Mam bottles in the past. I would definitely use these again.
MAM Anti-Colic Baby Bottle
You will definitely need this if your baby likes warm milk vs cool/cold. Also great for making formula on the go because you can warm up the water for them.
Momcozy Portable Milk Warmer
Can you warm up a bottle in a bowl of warm water? Yes. Is it easier to use a warmer? Also yes. Just buy this to save yourself some headache.
Momcozy Bottle Warmer
Glass is a healthier option that plastic for when you’re not scared of breaking them haha
MAM Glass Bottle
If you’re formula feeding, this will make your life SO much easier!
Baby Brezza Formula Dispenser
You will get more use out of this even when they’re a toddler. All of those small straws and cup parts.
Munchkin Dishwasher Basket
This is better than a drying mat because they dry quickly and completely.
OXO TOT Space Saving Drying Rack
What a genius idea. This is perfect for traveling with baby and still being able to wash their bottles and dry them!
Genius Portable Bottle Drying Rack with Bottle Brush
If you’re going to be bottle feeding a lot, I’d recommend a countertop washer/sterilizer. You don’t want to run the dishwasher that many times in a day.
Dr. Brown's Sterilizer & Dryer
Formula is something I would be picky about. I won’t feed “corn syrup solids” to my baby so this formula is a great option. Organic ingredients and good nutrition for your baby.
Kendamil Organic Infant Formula Powder
Another great formula option and more budget friendly if organic isn’t super important to you.
Kendamil Infant Formula - Not Organic
This is a great organic formula option!
Bobbie Organic Gentle Infant Formula
Another very healthy formula option!
Bobbie Grass Fed Whole Milk Infant Powdered Formula
I absolutely love Copper Pearl! These bibs are absorbent and so cute! Also hard for baby to pull off because they snap.
Copper Pearl Snap Bib Set - 4pk
Copper Pearl burp cloths are the best I’ve ever used. They’re huge, absorbent, and soft!
The GOAT Burp Cloths
I love these swaddles. Soft and stretchy, and matching hats/bows available.
Swaddle Blankets
These blankets are large and will keep baby warm and still be a good size as they grow older. They have some good weight to them.
Large Baby Blanket
These are so soft and cozy. They are a heavier TOG rating so better for cool rooms at night and not sweaty babes.
Comfortable Sleeping Bag for Babies
These crib sheets are so soft and comfy!
Soft Crib Sheets
I love newborn gowns. There so easy for diaper changes and baby stays cozy in their own little bubble
Newborn Knotted Gown
If I had another baby, I would invest in a couple of these during one of their sales. They work for any temperature and fit from 2 months-2 years because of the adjustable fit.
Baby-Toddler Sleep Sacks
I had a ring sling and a wrap from Hope&Plum with my 3rd baby. I would want the Lark for another baby. I never had the time to learn how to use a ring sling or wrap correctly.
Lark Baby Carrier
Most play gym bottoms are pretty thin. But this one is nice and cushy to protect baby laying on the floor.
Comfy Play Gym
We love Millie Moon. Honest diapers are our second choice if Millie Moon isn’t in stock.
Millie Moon Diapers
We like these diapers. Nice fit, smaller than other brands typically.
Honest Diapers
Great wipes! Only con is that more than 1 wipe comes out at a time.
Millie Moon Wipes
These are my favorite wipes. They’re just more expensive than Millie Moon so I don’t usually buy them. But the closure on these is better than Millie Moon.
Honest Wipes
These wipes are so good too! And only ONE wipe comes out at a time.
Rascals Wipes
Straws are a great teether and these would be great with the different textures and you get a cleaner brush with this set.
Re-Play Teether Straws
How freaking cute is this. They also have a frog for a boy/gender neutral option.
Itzy Ritzy Rattle Sweetie Crinkle - Bow
We love Itzy Ritzy in this house. This is so fun because it has the spinning ball and it rattles. Multiple places for baby to chew on too.
Spinner Sensory Teething Rattle
These are so fun for the car seat and to keep them occupied. You can also attach them to their play gyms.
Busy Ring Teething Toy
So good for teething babes
Cutie Coolers 3pk Teether Set
We love this teether. Great quality and fun textures, easy to clean.
Itzy Ritzy Teensy Tubes Teether
We love Britax! This is an amazing slim option.
Britax One4Life® Slim Convertible Car Seat
Again, we love Britax. This is the wider version of the One4Life so if space isn’t a concern (you don’t need 3 across or someone sitting between 2 car seats) I would choose this one.
Britax One4Life WIDER Car Seat
This seat is very slim side to side and is for forward facing harnesses as well as a seatbelt booster. I would personally have to buy this to put my youngest in when the time comes because we need slim seats.
Chicco MyFit ClearTex Harness + Booster Seat
We love Nuna. We have a Rava and their booster, the Aace. Amazing quality and easy installs.
Nuna Rava Convertible Car Seat -
Thule strollers are AMAZING and I love the adjustability of the handle.
Thule Spring 2.0 Foldable Baby Stroller - Mid Blue
We love Newton. Used them with baby 2 & 3. Also used the bassinet. So I would absolutely buy another mattress!
Newton Crib Mattress
Pack n play mattresses aren’t comfy. This is a much better option and easy to set up! I love how large it is.
Travel Crib & Play Yard
I hated when my kids would stick their arms and legs through the slats. It gave me such anxiety. This would be amazing!
HALO Convertible Crib with Mesh Walls
These loveys are SO soft and cozy. They also have a puppy now but it sells out too quick!
Bunny Lovey
SO cozy and soft. Air dry them so they stay that way. We absolutely love these sleep sacks and the blankets!
Gums Muna Sleep Sacks
Guna Mina’s blankets are super soft and cozy. Nice for babe to cuddle up with.
Cloud Blanket
These pajamas are super easy for diaper changes and easy to get on thanks to the neckline! I also recommend air drying to keep them so soft!
Easy Hidden-Zip Pajamas
Easy change newborn gown!
Gown
These were my go-to easy outfit for baby 3. Would buy a ton more!
