My favorite mineral based sunscreen. Very gentle on the skin - I have been using this since my son was 6 months old and he’s NEVER been sunburnt!!

We just started potty training and this has been a life saver! He was scared of the potty before we got this - but we also have a little potty he can use as well.

Definitely recommend getting some cabinet locks. We use these for under the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and the utensil drawer. Could also be used on the toilet or other places you don’t want your curious toddler getting into!

My little guy loves to help in the kitchen and this has made it so much easier for him to be involved with the cooking/cleaning process!

Can not say enough good things about these cups. I purchased 3x so we could have some at Nana & Grandma’s house. They don’t leak and they can sip from any side of the cup! Great transition from bottles/sippys to cups.

We still use bibs when we have messy meals, and I’ve never bothered with the cloth kind that get stained. These are so easy to wash & clean - plus they hold up well. We still use the same set we got from his 1st birthday!

Always have some of these on hand. In the diaper bag, my purse, the car - especially during the allergy season. These are so much gentler than a napkin, Kleenex or regular baby wipe. Cannot recommend these enough

One of my favorite light jackets for the fall. Fleece material, not too heavy but not too thin either. We have the black, gray & camo color.

A little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. My son started using his at age 1, and by 2.5 he is scooting all along and lifting his feet up. Definitely helps them get their balance and I’d say he’ll be riding a regular pedal bicycle by next ye...

I will NEVER purchase another car seat, as this grows with the child until they no longer need one. Made the transition at 10 months old. Easy to clean, and so convenient for getting in & out of the car.

We love this wagon for the zoo, beach, pumpkin patch, the races, etc. Love the canopy for extra shade, cup holders, or a pocket for your phone. The tires handle all terrain & there is enough room my son could lay down and nap if he wanted too.

We have the black & white checkered bag and love it! Just enough space for some extra clothes, diapers, wipes & a few other necessities. No need for a huge bulky bag!

The ear thermometer is where it’s at. We had the forehead thermometers (no touch) and I felt like they were always giving me different readings. This one is very reliable and I will never purchase another!

These are my favorite plates to use with my baby/toddler. They suction to the table so they can’t throw them in the floor 🤪

I transitioned to real silverware once my toddler was 2. They have a soft grip handle for easy handling!

We started using this with my son when he has to potty and it’s been a great adjustment so far! Easy to clean and the spinner makes aiming “fun”

A must have for curious babies and toddlers! I still leave mine in and my son is 2.5. He was very interested in outlets, so this is just a precaution to stay safe!

My FAVORITE toothbrushes. Turn the light on and let them brush until it goes off! A good way to ensure they are brushing their teeth long enough, and it’s fun!

We love this toothpaste! It “taste” goo, and it’s safe to swallow.

We used this up until my son was 1.5! One of my favorite high chairs. Super easy to clean, can fold up easily and bonus points for being aesthetically pleasing!

We used these to transition my son off bottles at age 1! They’re a little bit of a pain to clean, but no worse than the Dr. Brown bottles which is all my son ever took!

We loved these pouch holders and still do! They prevent them from squeezing them all out on the floor 😵‍💫

If you are tired of spending $ on expensive applesauce/yogurt pouches, we like to make our own with these fun reusable ones! Dishwasher safe, and you can even put jello in them!
