After having two babies and preparing for our third, I’ve learned which baby products are actually worth having—and which ones tend to collect dust. 🤍 These are my tried-and-true newborn essentials, baby must-haves, and everyday products that I’ve p...

Travel Essentials for Baby
I absolutely love this brand! I’ve been so happy with Maxi-Cosi that I’ve personally purchased 2 car seats and 2 strollers over the years. Their products have a great combination of style, comfort, and functionality. I personally love that the stroll...

Absolutely necessity for summer if you live anywhere near the Midwest or South! It’s perfect walks or even going to the beach.

Feeding Essentials for Baby
These are the only bottles I’ll use with my babies. I love that they don’t have a million little pieces that need to be washed. I also love that you can buy additional silicone sleeves and nipples that grow with your baby. You can feed from newborn t...
nursh® 8oz
I love this highchair. I love the style, the aesthetic, and I love the straps! We’ve tried other high chairs, but the straps always had them slumped to one side. These straps are amazing and actually keep baby where they need to be. But most importan...
Momcozy DinerPal Wooden High Chair for Babies
I used these to throw the dirty bottles in so they weren’t mixed in with our dishes.
Collapsible Wash Basin
These are the burp cloths I keep coming back to. They’re soft, absorbent, and you get a whole 10-pack without spending a fortune. With a newborn, I’d much rather have a big stack of these than constantly be doing laundry!

Baby Diapering Essentials
Baby Diaper Essentials
The only diapers that worked for my babies and didn’t cause a rash. They also have a great rewards program and Target always has a gift card promotion going on!
Pampers® Swaddlers™ Diapers for Babies and Newborns
I don’t even bother with any other diaper rash cream. Once they start rolling around like an alligator during diaper changes, it’s so much easier to have a spray instead of trying to spread a cream on them. Game changer!
Boogie No-Rub Diaper Rash Spray 1.7 fl oz
I absolutely loooove these overnight diapers when they start sleeping a little more during the night! They hold so much without leaking or causing a diaper rash.

Sleep Essentials for Baby
When I first got the Hatch, I honestly didn’t think I’d end up using it much—but now I can’t imagine nap time or bedtime without it! I use the white noise setting for every nap and at bedtime, and it has quickly become one of those baby items I use e...
Hatch
I used this for all my babies for during postpartum recovery and bedtime. I just sat it on my nightstand and had everything ready to go for those middle of the night diaper changes and feedings.
Felt Diaper Caddy Organizer for Baby Essentials
I love this crib! It can grow with your baby from newborn to toddler to big kid! It goes all the way to a full size bed! This one also has a trundle so perfect for additional storage!
Carter's by DaVinci | Colby Collection
I love this bassinet and how you can zip the side down for an easy side sleeper. It makes it so much easier to get baby out in the middle of the night.
Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer Bassinet
Bath & Baby Care
Don’t even bother buying a different bath tub! I’ve tried sooo many tubs and this is the only one that I don’t feel like is a death trap for babies. All the other ones don’t support baby and I was always afraid baby was going to keep sliding and go i...
Angelcare Baby Bath Support, Grey, 0-6 Months
The only shampoo, conditioner, and body wash I’ll use on my babies. I love that they have fragrance free options so you don’t have to worry about causing a rash on baby.

Baby Health Essentials
This is a lifesaver! It’s so much easier to buff their nails than to fight with little baby hands with something sharp. When I accidentally snipped my babies fingertip, I ordered this and it’s the only thing I use for little ones now.
Electric Nail Buffer – Frida | The fuss stops here.
At first, I was absolutely disgusted with the idea of using this, but oh my gosh—it actually does the job! I’ve never sucked out so much snot with one of those handheld ones. Once you get past the thought of it, it’s such an amazing gadget and makes ...
Frida Baby NoseFrida SnotSucker Nasal Aspirator
So much easier than trying to use a regular thermometer on a wiggly baby or toddler!
