Items for new moms and baby ❤️
47
items I have a few kids, all spread apart from adults to a baby. I have learned over the years and researched as much as possible on items. I was trying to stay focused on buying what I need and not just a want because it can be wasted money. I hope this helps anyone with the search! I look for saftey, price, durability, something we would actually use and ratings as much as possible.

Baby gift/accessories
We did a lot of purchasing of baby items like most do. You always think you'll need so many items or that you'll use them all and like us, you end up with too many items unused. I gave so many things away to other people and I hated that. I narrowed ...
When I first had my daughter, I was nursing and there was many nights that I held her in our bed and fell asleep or now as a toddler, she comes in bed and I'm scared she'll fall off so I found this and we've used it for over 2 years! I know many moms...

I wanted a budget friendly crib and one that we would use long-term, this was a good purchase and I am now passing it on to my niece. It was easy to put together, stable, you can adjust the height of how high you want the mattress up or down, so it w...
Delta Ollie 4-in-1 Crib Bianca + Simmons Mattress
I did a lot of reading about mattresses for infants and they have ones that are breathable but really at a price range for us. My last kid was 12 years ago and none of that information came up at the time so it was really confusing. I did a lot of re...
Letmxiu Premium 5" Crib & Toddler Mattress
I love all the designs new parents get now! When I had my first, there was no options. This lasted forever, was easy to clean, comfortable, stylish and was an easy place to safely lay baby. I really enjoyed this and it was too cute! We had so many co...
Blissful Diary Leaf Baby Play Gym Mat w Toys
My daughter was sitting up when we bought this and we bought because when I showered, she wanted to be in there but it was unsafe sitting on the tile. This was such a win! We took a bath, was warm, safe and played with toys. We have it to my niece fo...

Kids get tired of bath toys easily but this lasted with her and without any mold for months. It stayed attached as it should and all worked according. We used too put buckets near caterpillar legs and let them fill up. We also connected a used shampo...
Bath Toys for Kids 1-3 Years with Cups
The top part is so strong that after months of play, it's now a bucket where she holds her toothbrush and tooth paste since she wants to brush in the bath. She's put her weight on it unintentionally and it held. She loved the different adjustments an...
Nuby Wacky Waterworks Pipes Bath Toy
We needed a gate to keep baby in and dogs out, and vice versa. We have an upstairs that we needed protected and we made a baby room for no dogs. This was easy to assemble, held up and we still use.
REGALO EXTRA WIDE SAFETY GATE
I looked for weeks at wagons and reviews and pricing. This was it. It was tall enough and nice because you can switch to a sitting position or flat, and had a cover or not overtop. It's easy to take with us and now even handles the dogs since we adde...
ELEMARA Foldable Stroller Wagon for 2 Kids
Our baby loves books and this was her favorite. She liked the flipping pages and engagement, and loves to play peekaboo so it was probably a mix of all those. She's 2 and we had this a year and she still grabs it
Where Is Baby's Belly Button? A Lift-the-Flap Book
I liked this 360 brush because you can quickly brush the babies teeth and feel like you got all sides. It was easy for her to hold and she enjoyed. The suction didn't work well on our granite but it did on the glass lol
Momcozy 360° Ultrasoft Baby Toothbrush Pink
This was such a cool buy because it came with so many! Anytime we went to a restaurant, we'd put this down and play with her, set her food on it and it was big enough that she could eat and look at the pictures. It included different designs so it wa...
Babebay Disposable Baby Placemats, 60 Pack
We lived these because they were easy to clean. We had the mesh version and I loved but they were hard to clean and often molded so we threw away. This was easier to wash and keep clean and baby held handle nice
Dr. Brown's Fresh First Silicone Feeder, 2 Ct
Listen, the throw away swim diapers are a money pit if you swim a lot. Essentially all those diapers are only made to hold poop in, as the pee doesn't stay in. If you only need to hold the poop, tese were easy to clean and put on and you can use over...
ALVABABY 2pcs Reusable Adjustable Swim Diapers
Our holistic doctor recommended these. When we first had our baby and found out she had eczema, some say it's the gut. She recommended a diet change since I was breastfeeding and to give her these. Unfortunately it wasn't the cause of her eczema afte...

This was so cute, firm, we used it all the time for sitting the baby in it, feeding, and snuggling. I used it during nursing for a problem my arm to hold the baby
Little Grape Land Nursing Pillow, Butterfly Soft Cover
You can use this for diaper rash but we were recommended it by our holistic doctor to help with eczema flare-ups. It has zinc and calamine, so it was a calmer. We still keep this on hand because it has so many uses
Calmoseptine Ointment by Calmoseptine
I hate that these cost so much and I dislike the packaging so much bc it's wasteful but these diapers saved our eczema baby. She already breaks out from my things but these allowed us to keep that area, clean. It was the only diaper that worked and i...

We used this because our daughter had such a eczema flare ups and everything burned her. This was expensive but we were desperate and it paid off. It was so gentle, kept her from an infection and has a hundred other uses. Good to keep at home for saf...
Emuaid
Aloe is an item we hold year-round, either for sunburns, burns, irritated skin or even nice just to put on skin as it's tightening and contains natural collagen. It's hard to find 100% aloe but this is close, doesn't change color or go bad easy. It's organic too and a nice price as this lasts long

Baby Lounger Snuggle Cozy Me Infant Lounger
Mom's
Mostly people forget about the mom and as all the baby gifts came in, and as I bought for the baby, I quickly realized I needed a ton of stuff too. I bought things I didn't need and quickly was finding I had a lot of stuff to return and had to give a...
Traditional diaper bags were so hard to carry on top of car seat and strollers and we were very active. This was a life saver because I could barely tell it was there. Easy to clean, roomy, area for insulated stuff and my husband wore it!

This was my go to for pain! Easy to use, has a cover and doesn't get too hot. I still use it years later and this thing works perfect
Boileau Electric Heating Pad 17x33 XXL Blue
I was always looking for items that were pregnancy and safe for nursing, this was the way to get a lot of nutrients in or myself and for my daughter. I liked the taste, I just added to water but I think you can add it to anything
Boobie Mother of All Greens - Mango, 30 svgs
This company does a lot with clean ingredients, we've used several of their products for our family. I was looking at this because I know omegas can help with skin conditions, such as eczema which we were experiencing with my daughter so I bought thi...
Nordic Naturals Postnatal Omega-3 Lemon 60 Softgels
This was our first diaper bag, it was stylish, not too big and did hold a lot. It was easy to hang on everything, had a compartment for the bottles or items that you needed to keep cold and lots of other pockets. It has clips on the inside that let y...
FHELAD Diaper Bag Tote with Insulated Pocket & 16" Laptop Compartment (Black)
We were always told that live probiotics are the best version but when you don't have access to them always, due to cause or availability because they have to be refrigerated, this was our next option for nutrients and probiotics. Good brand overall ...
MaryRuth Postnatal Probiotics 54B CFU Vegan
Always talk with doctor first before adding anything, as everyone is different. I was cleared for this and started taking to help relax and as I was older on my last child, I wanted to make sure I had every bit of support to help my body prepare for childbirth
Earth Mama Organic Third Trimester Tea, 16 Bags
I had trouble sleeping in the late months of pregnancy, and then after as my daughter aged because she started sleeping with us. I wanted something to support sleep and not keep me sleeping, in case I needed to get up and attend to my daughter. I was still nursing so I found this. Good taste, worked - clean ingredients
Perelel Sleep Support Magnesium Powder, Lemon Balm
I absolutely love Ginger and I am a big fan of it, the benefits of it being an anti-inflammatory, how it helps with upset stomach but I don't like most the candy out there because it has so much sugar. This was nice because it didn't contain a lot of...
Pink Stork Organic Mango Sweets with B6 & Ginger - 30 Candies
Postpartum
Don't forget to gift or remember the mom during a baby :)
These were nice after birth and postpartum, or even regularly on periods. The cooling effect helps soothe irritation and holds out odor, if any. They did the best job! Good as gifts too for new moms
The Honey Pot Herbal Heavy Flow Pads 16ct
Nice gift or get for yourself. My niece had her first baby and wanted to breastfeed but with breastfeeding, is some definite struggles with comfort. This helped get her started. I breastfeed before on my other kids and didn't get the kit for my most ...
Frida Mom Breast feeding Survival Kit
I breastfed several kids so I don't have the shyness anymore in front of family but didn't want to be in public and have to be exposed so I bought this and absolutely loved the feel, because I was nursing during the summer and it was lightweight, it ...
Blissful Diary Muslin Nursing Cover - Gray
My midwife suggested these once I started nursing, but she recommended doing so after 6 months age since your milk is in production heavy initially and then can slow down. This wasn't a recommended for milk flow, it was overall since Morninga Tea had so many other benefits. This is 100% but in pill form. I have tried the actual tea too!
Moringa Capsules 800mg - 60 Count Superfood
Skin
Baby skin is so delicate and we had a daughter that had eczema, so we couldn't buy typical over the counter skin products. I have sensitive skin as well so we're very careful on buying things that are single ingredients or limited ingredients to limi...
Our baby had a tough time sleeping and went through a million 'regressions'. Not that this product miracly changed things but ingredients are clean, smelled good and I do believe helped on days when we did a lot of activities. That a magnesium bath

This was good for any age, I use on the whole family. It's easy to spray, safe for any age and you use as many times as you want. Good to keep in stock
Little Remedies Baby Saline Nasal Mist, 3oz, 3 Pack
There's many different tallows, even cheaper brands. We used this because we needed unscented and 100% tallow that we could verify (vs other ways of buying, Etsy for example). We used as infant and older and anyone can use. We carry in the diaper bag...
NAKED Beef Tallow Balm 100% Grass Fed 4oz
This was another cream we kept in the diaper bag. Clean ingredients so you can use anywhere, for dry skin, cuts or chapped. I got it originally because calendula is recommended for eczema and we wanted gentle, clean ingredients only. This worked
Era Organics Healing Ointment for Babies - USDA Organic Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin
Roe was nice because it didn't have fragrances but smelled nice because it the vanilla. They have products that claim to not break skin barrier and have probiotics for skin, which help babies with eczema. Our daughter had moderate to severe eczema so...
Roe Wellness Toddler & Baby Body Wash 9.4oz
I liked this just because I like coconut oil. Cocunt oil is naturally antiinflammatory, antibacterial, a face cleaner and the best make up cleaner fyi, but this also had all clean ingredients and I needed limited ingredients since my daughter had fre...
Evereden Baby Shampoo & Body Wash 2-in-1, 8.5 fl oz
We weren't sure if her current wipes were irritating or not. Although they say hypoallergenic or 99% water, we NEVER realized they have other things added! I just never looked. After reading the labels on many, we tried these because they had no brighteners, no chemicals, no fragrance and we did notice improvement. There are many other good options too!
