My baby was born with a high arch palette and demonstrated difficulty latching early on. My lactation consultant recommended these nipple shields and 6 weeks later, I am still using them during each breastfeeding session. In addition to encouraging a...
Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding
This is a great option for on the go pumping and/or collecting let down during breast feeding. I actually find this device to pump milk effectively and fast - sometimes even faster than my wearable pump.
Medela Manual Breast Pump
This is an investment piece for sure but if you are on the go, this is worth the investment. I received this as a combined gift from a few family members on my registry and it has provided me with SO much freedom during the day. I love being able to ...

Explore my top baby skincare and body care picks, featuring clear, gentle ingredients and fragrance-free options that prioritize your little one’s sensitive skin. Tubby Todd takes center stage as my go-to brand—an investment, but absolutely worth the...

There are so many toys out there for our llttle ones! I wanted to keep this list simple. These toys are great for gross motor and fine motor development, while achieving optimal alignment and positioning for your baby.
This activity center has an adjustable footplate that allows baby's feet to always be on the ground. I recommend this over other play centers/swings because it reduces unnecessary force on the baby's under-developed body.
Skip Hop Baby Activity Center
Push walkers encourage effective and efficient muscle engagement for your baby. Sit-in walkers can compromise baby's posture and positioning. Also, I love push walkers because they encourage your baby to improve coordination/balance while for effecti...
Wooden Baby Push Walker
I love this seat because it keeps the baby's spine in safe position while encouraging engagement of core muscles. Core engagement is critical for development and by strengthening the abdominal muscles, baby is able to transition to independent sittin...
