This saved us so much time and energy. Something about knowing my baby's bottles were clean and sterilized made me feel so much better as a first-time mom. It still runs 2 times a day, everyday, and I still feel the same about it. 10/10. Will forever...

We keep our house at 68 degrees in the winter and this microfleece sleep sack swaddle kept baby boy warm and snug like a bug. I also liked how easy it was to swaddle him.

I wanted our crib in a specific spot against the wall, and unfortunately our air vent blew cold air directly on top of the crib. These vent deflectors came in clutch and are so easy to install. They're magnetic and they are adjustable to fit your ven...

Being a first-time mom, this was very important to me. Knowing that SIDS can happen during infancy, I wanted to make sure I had a breathable mattress. This Newton mattress was a no-brainer and love how easy it is to clean.

All Purpose 3 Drawer Storage Clear - Brightroom™
Hear me out, you want a weighted wipe dispenser! This isn't meant to warm your baby wipes, it's meant for easy access to one wipe versus multiple at a time! The weight makes it easy to pull out one wipe at a time, therefore never wasting. Seems silly...
OXO Tot Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser, Gray
Definitely a thicker cushioned mat than others. I like it a lot. I also love how easy it is to wipe down and disinfect. I love using washable pads on top to make it even easier to keep clean in case of major blow outs. Will link those too!

These have been great with the Keekaroo. Blowouts are easy to handle with these being machine washable, and they keep baby's back warm during diaper changes!

We have 2 of these - one upstairs and downstairs. LOVE how these take any standard sized garbage bag, no need to purchase specific ones! I also like how there's a lock feature to keep the opening locked. Definitely a must have.

Perfect for the plane or sporting events. We took our son to his first NBA game and these made me feel so much better knowing his ears were protected! They worked so good, he fell asleep with them on and stayed asleep!

I love hot showers so it's hard for me to know what the perfect temperature is for my baby. This gave me peace of mind and was a no brainer for me to get. Doubles as a toy for them when they get a little bigger!

I'm a nurse and I wish I had this for my patients back in the day LOL. Whomever invented this is genius. I love that this is easy to use, easy to clean and is also rechargeable. It has it's own little storage box that holds all of the parts, so keeps...
GROWNSY Baby Nasal Aspirator with Music & Light
The amount of times I actually used this for my newborn was surprising. This is the ultimate nose picker. You'll be surprised how little their noses are and how hard it is to pick dry boogers lol. Trust me on this haha.
Frida Baby 3-in-1 Nose, Nail + Ear Picker
Having this is great. We use it to hold our dirty bottles and pacis. Whatever goes in here gets put in the bottle washer and sterilizer. Sometimes I use it to soak and clean my baby's toys. I've also traveled with this. Super versatile and is a must ...
2.6 Gallon Collapsible Wash Basin
I especially love how this is smaller than the Vista. For me, I prefer more compact. Even tho I'm undecided about a second baby, I know I would rather have a side by side double stroller. I love the bassinet option, as well as all of the other featur...
Cruz V3 - UPPAbaby
THIS IS A MUST IF YOU BREASTFEED. Having this in our room was such a game changer since I would pump in the middle of the night. It stored my pump parts and also kept my milk fresh until I bagged it in the morning. It's definitely a reliable fridge, ...
Frigidaire EFR840 Retro Mini Fridge 3.1 Cu Ft

This Snuggleme lounger kept baby nice and snug like a bug. We would lounge on the couch during the day and he would just chill right beside me!

I have this pajama set in both navy blue and black. I love how soft the material is and how stretchy the waistband is. Comfy was a must postpartum. This top also gave me easy access to breastfeed.
