Think of this as the registry cheat sheet you didn’t know you needed—researched, tested, and this mom-approved—so you can cut through all the marketing noise!
P.S. Of course, you still need the basics—crib, diapers, wipes, the usual suspects. But these extras are worth it (and every ounce of sanity).
We used this from the moment we got home from the hospital until my baby outgrew it. #1 rec!

Lifesaver for bedtime. Have bought one in every size.

You truly don’t need any other ointment/diaper cream. This takes care of it all. 1+ year old and never had a diaper rash. Don’t really even need the “baby” version. It’s all the same. Also, just get the tub. It’ll make your life easier.
