The Sleep Savers
Building a cozy, safe, and sleepy environment for those long nights.
I literally don't go anywhere without this. It drowns out the dog barking and instantly cues to my baby that it's time to sleep. Total lifesaver!
Magic Sleep Box
Don't even try messing with traditional blankets at 3 AM. The velcro on these makes swaddling foolproof, even when you're half asleep.
"Houdini-Proof" Swaddle
It pulls right up to my mattress so I can just reach over and grab the baby for night feeds. Plus, the neutral mesh design looks so chic in my bedroom.
Bedside Cloud
Feeding Must-Haves
Making the feeding journey a little less stressful and a lot more comfortable.
This allowed me to actually eat my lunch while pumping! It holds everything securely and is shockingly comfortable to wear all day.
Hands-Free Hero Bra
If you are nursing, buy this before you go to the hospital. It saved me during week one, and the best part is you don't have to wipe it off before feeding.
Soothing Butter Balm
You can never have enough of these. They are so soft, soak up everything, and actually look like a cute accessory on your shoulder.
Ultra-Absorbent Muslin Cloths
On-The-Go with Baby
Getting out of the house is intimidating at first, but these make it a breeze.
I refused to buy a bag that looked like a typical diaper bag. This looks like a designer backpack but has a million insulated pockets inside. Obsessed.
Chic "Not-a-Diaper-Bag" Backpack
My baby practically lived in this for the first three months. It kept them close and happy while I finally got to fold the laundry hands-free.
Snuggle-Close Carrier
So much easier than lugging the whole bag into a tiny public restroom. Just grab this clutch, which holds wipes and diapers, and you're good to go.
Wipeable Changing Clutch
Mama's Postpartum Care
Because taking care of you is just as important as taking care of the baby.
I wore this for the first two weeks straight. It’s incredibly soft, easy for nursing, and made me feel somewhat put-together when visitors came over.
"Live-In" Maternity Rob
Skip the hospital one, trust me. The angled neck on this one makes postpartum bathroom trips so much easier and more comfortable.
Upside-Down Washer
My little secret weapon. It instantly cools and brightens my under-eyes, completely hiding the fact that I've been up since 2 AM.
"I Slept 8 Hours" Eye Cream
