Essentials
This works really well for trimming my daughter’s nails! It worked best when she was asleep when she was little. It’s harder now that she’s older and more aware, but I don’t ever worry about her getting cut as this is very gentle.
FANSIDI Baby Nail Trimmer Electric with 10 Pads
I use this on my baby twice a day and she has beautiful skin! If she gets any sort of irritation, this also helps to clear that up within a few days. It’s amazing for my baby!
CeraVe Baby Cream, Gentle Moisturizer 8oz
I use these for EVERYTHING! Yes, for pacifiers, but also for teethers, sippy cups, spoons - anything that I don’t want to pick up off the ground that I can clip to a bib!
Silicone Pacifier Clip Holder 4 Pack
I am a plus size mama in her 30’s and this fits me really well! This doesn’t give me any back pain and allows my baby to sit facing my chest, outwards or on my hip - I really like the flexibility this gives! I tried a few less expensive options, but ...
Momcozy 2-in-1 Baby Carrier with Hip Seat
Feeding
I think I love this more than my husband. 😳 It’s amazing. It does go on sale so I totally get needing to wait. But seriously - you will not regret this purchase!
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer & Sterilizer
We use formula for our daughter and learned quickly to batch prepare it in a pitcher. We use this lid on some wide mouth mason jars that we already had. These make it so easy to store the “pitcher” in the fridge during the day and just pour out a lit...
2 Pack Wide Mouth Mason Jar V-Shaped Lids
Diapering
It holds in the stink so well, that I forget there is any until I have to change the bag! You can use any bag you want and it almost vacuum seals the diapers in the bottom of the bag, making it take up less room in the dumpster. It’s awesome!
This is AMAZING! It was recommended to me by a pharmacist and it does not disappoint! It’s cleared my baby’s diaper rash up within a week.
Desitin Max Strength Diaper Rash Cream 4.8oz
I feel like diaper cream was so confusing when I was a new mom! This is a brand I trust. I use it on my daughter at every diaper change. It’s lightweight and provides enough protection that we’ve only ever had 4 cases of diaper rash in her whole 8 mo...
Desitin Daily Defense Baby Diaper Rash Cream 4oz
We went on a car ride and had to change a poopy diaper on the side of the road with no trash can. These were a life saver in making it so we didn’t have to smell stinky diaper until our next pit stop! Seriously - not a whiff! Definitely would recomme...
Amazon Basics Dog Poop Bags 300 Count Leakproof
Sleeping
I was really comfortable with my baby sleeping in this bassinet. It was a little wobbly on carpet, but my daughter didn’t move around enough to have that warrant any issue. I really appreciated that the legs adjust height and that the front folds dow...
Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer Bassinet Charcoal
This mattress pad is made for the bassinet I recommended. We bought 2 packs of 2 (one for each of the 4 sheets we bought) so we didn’t have to do laundry every day. They kept their shape and elasticity for the 4 months we used them with washing at le...
Waterproof Bassinet Mattress Pad Cover 2 Pack
These sheets go with the bassinet I recommended. We used them for 4 months , washing them at least once a week (if not more). They kept their shape, elasticity and color. Really happy with them!
Baby Bassinet Sheets 4 Pack 33x20 Pink Print
These sleeping sacks are very lightweight and they don’t shrink in the wash! My baby is tall so I appreciate how long these are - she is in the 98th percentile for height and will most likely be able to use these for the full recommended age. 🎉
3 Pack Baby Sleep Sack 0-6M Rayon Cotton
I really like this sound machine! The app works well and connects seamlessly, it has a good range of volume and a wide variety of sounds. The light is bright enough that I can change a diaper in the dark but not so bright as to disturb my sleeping ba...
Momcozy Baby Sound Machine with Night Light
Extras
I really love how easy this camera makes it to see my baby when we’re in the car! I used to use a mirror and the shadows were weird, making it really difficult to see my baby. This automatically adjusts between night and day mode - although I wish th...
Baby Car Mirror with 4.3'' HD Night Vision Display
This was so nice when we were room sharing. We used it to store all of my daughter’s clothes so we didn’t have to rearrange anything in our room for a temporary situation. It’s very spacious and holds its structure very well. Much better than any oth...
SIMPLE HOUSEWARE 6 Clear Window Pocket Organizer
This may seem a little overkill, but I’ve really relied on it for every bath my baby has had. It’s very accurate and the battery lasts a long time.
b&h Baby Bath Floating Thermometer Duck
We’ve used this in my daughter’s room this winter and it’s been amazing! It connects to an app so I always have control over the temperature. She is on the opposite side of the house and we have no issue with connecting to the app. It automatically s...
Smart Portable 1500W WiFi Space Heater
We used this for washing bottles on our cruise ship and it fit perfectly in the sink! I like that it collapses and doesn’t take up my space. Doesn’t fit many bottles to soak, but we didn’t need it for that so it worked perfectly for us!
Beright Collapsible Storage Bin & Wash Basin
My daughter LOVES this book! The pictures are so colorful - she cannot look away. We’ve only read this once, but I know it will quickly make its way into our rotation.
A Day in the Life of Two Spoiled Frenchies
Links
I’m a Type A mom so I really appreciate being able to track everything for my daughter. The app keeps track of how long it’s been since she’s eaten and when it’s time for her to fall asleep again. This app has been a total lifesaver, especially when ...
Huckleberry: Baby & Child App - App Store
I really appreciated the completion discount and the mystery box that came with the Amazon baby registry!
