Feeding
The tray is a little small, but this booster is great! It’s small and we take it with us whenever we need to. We use the tray daily, but also use it as a booster seat at our table for meals and crafts.
Pocket Snack Booster Seat - Grey
I love the size of the tray on this high chair. It’s great for both feeding and playtime for baby! I also love that it grows with baby.
Ingenuity Full Course SmartClean 6-in-1 High Chair - Slate
Our favorite water bottle for our toddler.

We used this cup when we were teaching our first kid how to drink from a straw. He was having a hard time grasping the concept, but as soon as we used this cup, it clicked the first time he used it!

Diapering
We’ve used these cloth diapers on two kids and are happy with them. Cloth diapers have helped us save lots of money on diapers!

We use these wet bags for our cloth diapers on-the-go and for disposable diapers when we need to pack them out.

The best diaper bag we’ve ever had! So many pockets and lots of space!

One thing that we love about this diaper pail is that you can use either the bags that come with the pail or regular trash bags and it contains the smell either way.
Dekor Diaper Pail
When we’re not using cloth diapers, these disposable ones are our go-to. We loved Huggies, but we wanted to find a more budget-friendly option. These work really well and we haven’t regretted the switch.
Disposable Diapers - up&up™ (Select Size and Count)
We love these unscented wipes. They’re gentle on baby’s skin and are budget-friendly.

This tractor pairs well with the farm set and is an easy toy to take on-the-go!

Breastfeeding
This is a great way to start building a freezer stash if you’re breastfeeding. Just pop this Haaka on the side baby isn’t feeding on instead of letting that milk go to waste!
Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector 2.5 oz/75 ml
Great for catching milk that would otherwise go to waste and helpful for removing clogs.

I exclusively pumped with my first for 14 months and would not have made it that far without this pump. I paired it with the Legendairy Milk collection cups to make pumping hands-free.

I paired these with the Baby Buddha pump to make pumping hands-free.

My go-to for staying dry while breastfeeding.

This smells so good and can also be used as lotion on dry hands in a pinch!

Ceres Chill
I loved the drying feature on this sterilizer!
Philips Avent Baby Bottle Sterilizer & Dryer SCF293
I use this bag for my pump and collection cups, but it would also make a great diaper bag!

Of ALL the baby items, the Boppy probably gets more use than anything else! It’ll save your shoulders during feeds!

Car Seats & Strollers
We LOVE this car seat! Now that we have the Turn-to-me, we can never go back to the car seats that don’t rotate. This is a back-saver for sure! It’s also helpful when your toddler gets to their independent stage and want to climb in the car seat on t...

Clothes & Shoes
Easy to put on and good quality. We’ve purchased some shoes for my toddler that have only lasted a couple of months, but these have outlasted many other pairs we’ve purchased. Plus, he loves the light-up feature!
Toddler Disney Spider-Man Sneakers - Black 7T: Light-Up, Hook & Loop Closure, Indoor/Outdoor Sole, EVA Insole
This snow bib keeps my toddler warm and dry in the snow! It has an elastic waist and the straps are adjustable so it grows with your kiddo a little bit. We’re using the same size snow bib for our toddler for a second season!

Outdoor Play
This vest is truly incredible! It’s very bright and fits my toddler well with plenty of room to adjust as he grows. A must-have for playing outside in the dark.
Tracer Junior - Noxgear | Outdoors/Kids/Safety | USA
Now that it’s getting dark earlier, might visibility has been an issue for us when we’re playing outside after dark. This is a great light up, reflective vest for adults when you’re outside playing with your kids!
