Breastfeeding
I used these religiously from day 1 and never had breakdown!
Willow Silver Nursing Cups, 2 Pack BPA Free
I do not like sleeping in bras but in this phase of life it’s a must! These are comfortable and easy to feed baby at night or hold in my silver cups/breast pads.
Caramel Cantina 4 Pack Maternity Sleep Bra
The clip was a must for me! Now that she’s older I love the bumper to keep her from rolling everywhere!
Momcozy Nursing Pillow with Safety Fence
I truly believe the flange size the pumps come with fits 5% of women!
Nuliie 10PCS Flange Sizing Kit 13-21mm
Have more than you think you’ll need!
Muslin Burp Cloths 100% Cotton 6 Pack
I last minute purchased these when milk was everywhere! They were much more comfortable than the disposable ones.
Lansinoh Organic Bamboo Nursing Pads, 10ct
Soothing
My daughter’s favorite! We panic purchased every kind and landed on these!
Tommee Tippee UltraLight Stay Put Silicone Pacifier 0-6m - Light Pink & Dark Pink - 2pk
Can’t imagine life without this! We keep the travel one in our room by her bassinet and the main one in her nursery to rock her.
Hatch Baby Sleep Bundle: Rest 2nd Gen & Go
Incredibly helpful! We even used it at the hospital for softer light.
Anico Flip Night Light for Baby Nursery
Sometimes it worked great! We would say “a little something to take the edge off” worth it to try!
MYLICON Infants Gas Relief Drops, Dye Free
I loved that this went through many stages. Our girl wanted to roll early so we used the arms out function by 8 weeks.
SwaddleMe Compression Baby Swaddle Pod 2-Pack
We used this for a couple weeks to understand our girls patterns a bit better. I never used the paid subscription, we just got the hang of her cues.

You’re never alone in motherhood!
Up with your baby late last night? These nuns prayed for you
Baby and Mama Hygiene
Midnight blowouts are way less stressful with these on hand!
TILLYOU Waterproof Changing Pad Liners 6 Pack
Once her cord fell off we loved bath time in this! We’d put this on the kitchen counter since I couldn’t comfortably bend over the tub yet.
Fisher-Price Baby to Toddler 4-in-1 Tub
We used this right away if she would get any redness on her bottom and it cleared up so quickly.
Weleda Baby Calendula Diaper Cream 2.8oz
Another must! We used this in the hospital because those nails were sharp from day 1!
Fansidi Upgraded Electric Baby Nail Trimmer
Absolutely loved these - hands down worth it!
Frida Mom Postpartum Disposable Boyshorts
This will last you forever! We use a couple pumps of it after each bath time - 3 months in and it’s still 3/4 full!
Honest Company Fragrance-Free Baby Body Oil
Around the house
Good organization is great for an exhausted mama!
Sturdy Fabric Drawer Organizers 12-Pack Grey
I lived with this on my back, belly and shoulders
Deepsoon Electric Heating Pad for Back & Neck
This saved my anxiety, I could sleep a little better knowing I’d get an alert.
eufy Security Baby Smart Sock Monitor Wi-Fi
A little over the top on this one but hear me out! Clean floors and less work for everyone 🤷♀️
