From Bottle to High Chair: Feeding Essentials
Whether you’re nursing, bottle-feeding, or somewhere in between, these are the feeding items that made my life easier. This is the stuff that actually worked when I was half-asleep with a baby in one arm and cold coffee in the other.
Best investment. This thing saves so much time and energy which is essential during those first few months! I love that I can set it and forget it so that in the middle of the night when your little ray of sunshine inevitably cry’s for a late night s...
Baby Brezza Formula Pro
A total game-changer. I was on the fence about purchasing another Baby Brezza item. They can cost a pretty penny but I finally pulled the trigger and görl let me tell you thank goodness I did! It saves me hours every week and keeps bottles truly clea...
Baby Breeza Bottle Washer Pro - All In One Baby Bottle Washer, Sterilizer, Dryer
My son is the one who decided to put these bad boys on the list. They are his first and only choice for binkies. From 6 months to over a year he didn’t want anything but these! I love them because they are incredibly easy to clean and are super affor...
Dr. Brown's Pacifier
Baby Tech and Heavy Machinery
These items helped create a calm, healthy environment for both of us—from white noise that soothed us both to clean air that made breathing easier
As a mom I don’t mess around with air quality especially with a baby in the house. This purifier has been one of the few baby-related purchases that actually gave me peace of mind. It’s quiet enough to run during naps (even on higher settings), keeps...
Coway True HEPA Air Purifier
Compact, quiet, and genuinely effective, this little dehumidifier was a game-changer for our small apartment. It helps keep moisture (and that telltale musty smell) under control in tight spaces like the nursery, bathroom, or wherever damp baby laund...
VIVOSUN Small Space 0.85-Pint Mini Dehumidifier
Peace of mind doesn’t come cheap, but in those early months when sleep is scarce and anxiety is high, the Owlet Dream Sock delivered. It gave me live updates on my baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels right to my phone, which meant fewer middle-of-the...

Boy Baby Threds
Soft, comfy, and actually cute—these are the baby clothes I reach for on repeat. I skipped the scratchy stuff and anything with 45 buttons, and if it was too difficult to get a stain out it didn’t live with us anymore!
These are my toddler’s favorite pjs
Carters is where it’s at for pajamas for infants to toddlers they Always have the breathable cool and cozy warm. They’re 100% cotton and always affordable!
Carters Toddler Pajamas
Ok I have spent so much time trying to find footed pajamas that go up past size 12M. It’s SO difficult, many brands think that past 12 months footies should be removed but not Carters! They’re affordable and they go up to 24M!!
Carters 100% Snug Fit Cotton Footie Pajamas

Toys that Baby/Toddler Loved and Mom Does Too!
These toys sparked curiosity, encouraged movement, and helped us both stay grounded during long days at home.
This toy has by far been the biggest hit at our house! I love it because it teaches my toddler that chores can be fun! Pretty soon he’ll be old enough to use the real dishwasher! But in the mean time he loves being just like mommy and putting his dis...
Little Tykes First Dishwasher
It grows with your kid, rides smooth, and looks good doing it. I love that I can steer it like a stroller now, and when my toddler wants his independence it transitions easily. The seat is comfy, the shade is decent, and the storage basket holds all ...
Little Tikes Perfect Fit 4-in-1 Trike
Soak & Splash Essentials
Equal parts splash zone and spa, here’s what helped us stay upright, stay sane, and (mostly) dry.
My kid would live in the bathtub if he could so I’ve tested many a bath time product! The rinser doesn’t splash everywhere like a tiny fire hose, the spout cover stays put (even when kicked), and the bath mat doesn’t slip and slide like a death trap....

Pipette Baby Shampoo + Wash Fragrance Free - 11.8 fl oz
I’m a Pipette Stan through and through, but their sunscreen spray is at the top of my list. My baby has porcelain skin that immediately gets burned if put in the sun, every other baby sunscreen was super heavy despite the claims of natural ingredient...

Delta Gateway 2-in-1 Changing Table & Storage Unit
I’ve tried many other diapers, but I always end up coming back to Pampers Swaddlers. They’re soft, don’t irritate my baby’s skin, and actually hold up overnight.
The fit is good, the wetness indicator is helpful when I’m too sleep-deprived to guess,...
