Finding the best baby products is a journey. From hours of googling and watching TikTok videos, I started my journey of motherhood confident on what products I thought I wanted. But now, a handful of those products just sit and take up space (I'm loo...

Diapering

I hear people say their babies don't like it, but this is the only surface we put my baby on in the first two months that he wouldn't scream! Even now, we put it on the floor under his play gym and he loves it. Not to mention, it's wipeable!!

I never pictured myself cloth diapering, but these diapers are so easy to use and soft on my baby's skin. They seem so much more comfortable than a disposable diaper. We picked up a few just so hear can trade out disposables for cloth a couple times ...

These are hands down the best diapers I've used! They are soft and mold to my baby's body. We've never had a blowout in these. They are nearly identical to Millie Moon but slightly more affordable!

This play mat was life changing for us! It's big and perfect to relax on as a family during tummy time. It is shockingly comfortable and it is easy to clean.

The tent part alone saved my sanity in the newborn stage! My baby loves laying and looking up at the polka dots. He hasn't discovered the mat's features yet, but I look forward to when he does!

Bathing

Bath time is a breeze with this bath seat! The material is so soft and the foldover flaps feel like a warm hug for baby. If he's fussing, a warm bath in this seat instantly soothes him! After a bath, I throw it in the washer with a load of laundry.

These muslin washcloths are perfect for bath time. They have just the right amount of texture to create a great lather but are still incredibly soft. I love how breathable they are, perfect to soak in warm water and lay on baby's chest.

World's Best Baby Carrier. It's an investment piece but so easy to use and keep clean. It's incredibly comfortable both sitting and walking. My baby likes this more than all his other carriers. Cute patterns and ethical company, too! I would but this...

This stroller looks and feels high dollar, but it is very affordable! I have the forest color. We use in bassinet mode mostly, but also attach our Chicco Keyfit 35 carseat.

Having a small crossbody diaper bag is so handy. It keeps things right next to me, isn't a pain to lug around, and it prevents overpacking. I use this most of the time, though I use a diaper backpack for longer outings.

Sleep

Skip every other sleep sack and get this one! Once my baby outgrew his swaddle, we got a popular bamboo sleep sack. Despite fitting the weight recommendation, my baby was still too small, so we had to find something else. We turned to the Woolino bec...

My baby's favorite swaddle, featuring an "arms up" position. Even when not in the swaddle, my baby would sleep with his arms up because of how comfortable he got in the swaddle

I use this nightly next to our bassinet because of the "shush" setting it has that the regular hatch lacks. It's miraculous in helping my baby go to and stay asleep!

We use this for my baby because I'm paranoid about him getting a flat spot. He has never had a flat spot so we use it preventatively, but we love it! Baby seems comfortable on it.

I love the portability of this seat, but more than anything I love that it's great for baby's development. It is PT created and recommended. My baby loves it, too! As an added bonus, the midnight black color is just really cool.

Ok, I was hesitant to use these at first. They sat in our medicine cabinet for weeks before we were desperate enough to try them out. Once we did, though, we realized how effective they are! These bring my baby from screaming from gas pain to smiling...
