Baby items that I use and love
These are my tried-and-true baby items that I have used with both of my kids. These are items that I love and recommend to all my friends and family. I hope this list helps you find all your baby essentials!
Carriers
These are the baby carriers we love. We have used both of these carriers for both of our kids. They have traveled with us, been on hikes with us, or just worn around the house.
This is a MUST HAVE for all new parents. These carriers make life with a new born SO MUCH EASIER. They allow you to be hands free while also keeping your baby safe and secure. I recommend to every new parent.
The is the best baby carrier backpack. It is light weight, compact and comfortable. It has lasted me through 2 children, hiking countless trails, and been to multiple states. It is a must have for the outdoorsy, adventure families.
This rain cover makes it super convenient and easy to hike and explore even when it's a little rainy out.
Use your baby carrier in rain or shine!
Stoller and accessories
This is the stroller we use for our two kids and we love it.
We absolutely love this stroller for our two kids. We used it as a single and then upgraded it to a double when our second was born. It was been with us on countless walks, zoo trips, and adventures. I love this stroller and recommend it to everyone.
This car seat adapter is so convenient for the first few months. All you have to do is take the cars eat out of the car and attach it right into this adaptor. Mockingbird has so many adaptors that are compatible with all types of car seats. All you h...
This organizer is so convenient! I put everything in here from water bottles, sun glasses, sunscreen, chapstick and more.
This stroller is perfect because it grows with your family. When you're ready for a second child, this stroller turns into a double!
Safe sleep essentials
I'm passionate about safe sleep and these are some of the items I use for my kids.
We love this crib because it is simple, beautiful, safe and affordable. It looks beautiful in any nursery.
I'm obsessed with the Burt's Bees sleep sacks. They're so soft and comfortable. They keep babies warm and safe all night long.
WYZE Cams make it so easy to monitor your little ones when they're sleeping or playing. We have these all over our house. We connected them to our phones and our Google Homes.
This Pack ‘n Play is the best! We used the bassinet attachment when our babies were first born and the changing station is so convenient. When our kids got older, they slept in the play-yard itself. They’re so versitile and easy to use. When we trave...
Breastfeeding essentials
These are some items that made my breastfeeding journey so much easier.
The Bobby Nursing Pillow is so versatile. They're great for nursing support but they're also great for tummy time or assisting babies sit.
THESE ARE A MUST HAVE!! They make sanitizing and cleaning pump parts, bottles, pacifiers, and other thing SO EASY. You put them in the microwave for the designated time and it steam sanitized the parts! They can be used up to 20 times! I'm obsessed w...
The Haakaa is a must have for breastfeeding moms. They collect your let-down so no milk goes wasted! They're also great for manually pumping. I prefer this one with the lid so I can just pop the whole thing right in the fridge after use.
This is a great hospital grade breast pump. I used this pump with both of my kids and loved it.
This is a great travel breast pump! It's small, easy to travel with, and discrete.
It is absolutely not necessary to cover yourself or your baby when nursing in public, but for those who like a little of extra privacy, this is a great cover.
Toys babies actually play with
These are the toys my kids actually used and loved (and still use and love)!
This kick and play mat is a favorite in our house. Both of my kids loved it. Beware because the Monkey in the Bubble Gum Tree song will get stuck in your head :)
These are another favorite in our house. Our toddler loves these for climbing, building and making obstacle courses. Our infant loves to crawl all over these and use them to stand.
These fabric crinkle books are always a hit! Babies love holding them in their hands and feeling the crinkling. They're a great toy for babies!
Hygiene care
These are some Hygiene items that make baby care so much easier.
The perfect nail trimmer for sharp baby claws. It's gentle and safe. It stops spinning when too much pressure is applied.
This shampoo smells amazing and it is so gentle on the babies skin. I still use this on my toddler.
A fun bath thermometer to make sure the bath water isn't too hot. I actually bought this for myself when I was pregnant so I could safely soak in the bathtub and then used it for both of my kids.
This little baby bath is so great. It has a sling for newborns, and then it has sitting support for babies who are just learning to sit, and then the sling part removes completely and it's just an open bathtub. It has a hook so it can hang easily fro...
Safety
Safety is so important when it comes to babies. Here are some of my favorite items.
We love this gate for indoor and outdoor play. It's great for keeping crawling babies contained in a safe play space. We bought two of them and connected them together to make a large safe play area for our kids.
We used this car seat with both of our kids and we loved it.
When our kids became too big or seemed to be uncomfortable in the bucket seats, we transitioned them over to this Graco car seat. We love it and bought 2! One for each of our kids.
Attaching furniture to the wall is so important. These are the anchors we use to keep our furniture safe and secure.
