Baby Gear
This is the travel stroller we have but just get anything that isn’t the uppababy vista v2 or v3. iykyk
Travel Stroller
My first literally lived in this for the first 6 months. I’m not even exaggerating. He was a Velcro and colicky baby so this was a MUST have. The only thing keeping me sane.
Newborn Boba Baby Wrap Carriers
Just get any carrier that you think is cute and love! This is my favourite one but I know it’s hella $$$$ but I have tons of other carriers that I love too!
Artipoppe carrier - Denim Classic
AKA baby jail. Great to pop in for a short period of time when you need to get things done (pee, shower, cook, etc.)
Baby Bjorn Bouncer
Solid carrier! We love the forward facing mode on this one specifically!
Ergo Omni 360
Sick Baby Essentials
Because sucking out snot using a straw and your mouth is nasty. Wondering why you’re always sick? Duh. Hand pump ftw.
Elite booger sucker
Easy to use and lights up for middle of the night temp checks
Ear Thermometer
Softer than a tissue and helps wipe off the runny nose with ease!
Boogie wipes
Life saver. I used this so much when my youngest was stuffy! Pair this with the boogie sucker and you’re golden!
Boogie Micro-Mist Saline Inhaler
Baby nostrils are TINY so this is what I used to pick my baby’s nose (satisfying)!
oogiebear Baby Nose Picker
Feeding
Actually was my best friend hahah used it constantly breastfeeding both my first and second kids until I got a handle of it.
My Brest Friend
You’ll thank me later when you wake up with a clogged duct. Pop a couple of these and you’ll be good as new in no time! Saved my life a few times!
Sunflower Lecithin
Love these when starting solids or even when they are teething!
Baby Spoons
Don’t waste the letdown! Get the one with the base and lid cause I’ve spilled it before (older version) and cried. So don’t be me!
haakaa mount
Who knew I’d need a pad for my yitties. Wild. But INCREDIBLY important.
Nursing pads
Cause unfortunately breastfeeding hurts in the beginning. People will say “it shouldn’t hurt”. Lies. It does until you get used to it but these help!
SILVERETTE
Miscellaneous
My MUST have. It really is that serious. I spray this on babies hands instead of hand sanitizer or when she drops a toy in the ground. I am obsessed.
✨Hypochlorous Acid Spray
Love using this to cover my baby up outside when it’s too sunny! She hates hats so we compromise with this.
UV Baby Blanket
No joke I’ve had this one for 4 years and it still works! Great for on the go.
Portable Sound Machine
Clutch to throw in your purse, car, or diaper bag! Doesn’t take up any room and can chuck it once you’re done!
Disposable changing pads
Love these baby books! Get the high contract ones but the best part is they can chew and go crazy with the a nd they won’t rip!
Indestructible Baby Books
Cause I can’t stand the thought of cutting my baby’s actual finger and making them bleed. This brings me peace knowing that wont happen.
Baby electric nail file
Ask for a subscription to the huckleberry app! Was helpful with recording all the information like feeding, naps, etc. the pro version helps with wake windows!
Huckleberry app
When you’re up in the middle of the night or stuck nap trapped it’s nice to be listening to a book.
Audible gift card
Yes really. When it’s the witching hour and your baby is crying you will be thankful for earplugs while you’re bouncing them to sleep.
