Infants' TYLENOL® Oral Suspension Liquid
if you are breastfeeding, these are a must have! they are very spill free and you can utilize the suction to stimulate extra milk production. i caught enough letdown with these bad boys that I never had to pump!
Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector 2.5 oz/75 ml
if you are going to get a diaper pail, get the ubbi, not the diaper genie! it holds way more diapers and you can use normal trash bags instead of those really expensive ones. if you don’t mind second hand, there’s always some for way cheaper on faceb...
Ubbi Stainless Steel Diaper Pail - Sage Green
our slumber pods (yes we have two) have been our lifeline! we have a permanent one set up in our home because we don’t have room for baby to have her own room. (someday!) we have a second one for traveling and for lending to friends who travel. it is...
SlumberPod Blackout Portable Privacy Pod - Black
I really loved these bottles. glass might seem impractical but the way it eased my mind about microplastics was so worth it.
Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Glass Baby Bottle Set - 18ct

this is my favorite diaper cream -- I love that it's small but you only need a tiny bit. we keep one of these in basically every room, every bag, and every vehicle.
Burt's Bees Baby Bee 100% Natural Diaper Rash Ointment - 3oz
these hats are almost always on sale and baby hats are one of those things you don't realize you need a lot of. assuming you're spending a lot of time outside, it's best to just keep a hat in each bag and one in the car so you don't get caught withou...
Hudson Baby Infant Girl 4Pc Sun Protection Hat, Flamingo Rainbow Stripe Ice Cream Dot, 12-24 Months
this activity center is incredible!! it's always available pretty cheap on facebook marketplace though so I would look there first! we got ours secondhand too, and it was great.

if you plan to breastfeed, a nursing pillow is a game changer! it made nursing so comfortable and easy for my baby and I. I've heard the "my breast friend" is great too. the covers tend to be more expensive than the pillow so those are great to find ...
