Tried & True Baby Items

Now that Teddy has been in our lives for 5 weeks today, I wanted to make a compilation of our top and most used baby items. Below are my top purchases and items that I would truly recommend to every new mom.

Tried & True Kitchen:

• Baby Brezza Sterilizer: this item comes in handy big time when you have 12 bottles to clean and a baby that is about to wake up from a nap. I usually clean the bottles and nipples first, then put it in here to get sanitized. Holds about 6 regular sized bottles with room for extra pieces and the nipples/covers!

• Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced: easily a top 5 purchase for us. We supplement him with goat milk when he snacks and it's like a coffee machine for babies. You press a button and presto- your bottle is heated and ready for your baby.

• Medela bottles: these had the best nipple flow for how he eats. I recommend buying a few different types of bottles & then bulk buying a few once you find one that works!

• Bottle warmer: babies love to have their meals "body temperature" so this comes in handy big time when taking milk out of the fridge!

• Ollie World bibs: babies are messy and I love not having to change his clothes and wash them haha

Tried & True Baby Clothes:

• Little Sleepies pajamas: one of the biggest regrets I have is not buying more bamboo material pjs for him upfront. I settled for cotton pjs and bought a ton of onesies that were cheaper, and even though they grow so fast, LS brand stays good for a long time due to elongated length in arms, torso, and legs.

• Burts Bees burp cloths: the superior burp cloth

• Ollie swaddle: this has velcro on the sides and is fool proof and easy to use! He LOVED these swaddles for the first 4 weeks, and recently wanted to sleep with his arms up more. I would highly recommend these swaddles to anyone.

• Love to Dream Arms Up swaddle: really great arms up swaddle option and has zippers on the sides (of the 13-19 lb option) for you to start transitioning them to one arm/both arms unsaddled.

• Magnetic Me onesies: magnetic onesies are another thing I wish we bought more of right out of the gates. They are SO easy for quick changes and also incredibly soft.

• E=MC2 magnetic onesies: see above reasoning :)

• Caden Lane onesies: bamboo and so soft

• Angel Dear onesies: bamboo and so soft

Tried & True Miscellaneous:

• Dockatot: lifesaving device haha- sometimes you have to get something or just want to put them down for a bit. We keep it on our living room coffee table for visability and easy access.

• Baby Bjorn carrier: this carrier is so easy to use, I keep it in the back of my car for easy transports without the car seat/stroller

• Solly Baby wrap

• Baby Delight bassinet: super affordable option and no complaints

• Hatch sound machine

• Honest Company diapers and wipes: an amazing gift for a new mom in your life is to gift them the subscription service!! You get 7 packs of diapers & 4 packs of wipes a month.

• Earth Mama diaper balm

• Baby bathtub

• Zoli Baby nail file and buffer

• Itzy Ritzy pacifiers

• Ryan & Rose pacifiers

• Uppa Baby stroller

• Uppa Baby car seat

• Frida Mom sound machine for bassinet

• Frida Mom nose sucker

• Willow Go portable breast pump

• Spectra S1 pump

• Boppy

• Freshly Picked diaper bag: holds everything and more- plus it is fashionable

• Newton crib mattress: I LOVE that you can breathe through this mattress. Gives me such peace of mind.

• Earth Mama nipple butter
