1- Cybex Balios S Stroller– I love this stroller for its sleek modern look and versatility. I always wished for a stroller that I could see my first child in as we shopped, it wasn’t a thing. The Cybex has the turn around option to face both the infant seat or child seat rear or forward! An adjustable handle makes it easy for myself or my husband to enjoy pushing and in the folded position doubles as a carrying handle and the seat sits up higher to allow an extra roomy basket underneath!
2-Cybex Bucket Seat with SensorSafe– There’s an app for that, literally! This trendy seat has a built in sensor that will alert you via smart phone when the seat is too hot, the chest clip is unbuckled and even if a child is left unattended. Other safety features include An energy absorbing shell, 5 point harness and UV protective fabric. The base has an adjustable foot and easy belt or latch installation. Canopy on smaller side, mesh type material.
3- Diaper bag- Next to my minivan the diaper bag is my lifeline! Lots of pockets is necessity, I need to fit extra clothes, diapers, wipes, creams, my wallet, phone, snacks, bottles etc! A back pack style and/or one that clips to the stroller is especially great for easy transitions. You never know when a poopsplotion is going to happen!
(Itzy Ritzy back packs are 🔥 right now)
4- Diaper Caddy– You need somewhere to store all of those 2500-3000 you’ll change in babies first year. Don’t forget the wipes, cream and all the other things, thermometers, nail clippers, cotton swabs.. that will probably end up there too! Keep it all organized and at hand. Wait I need a mobile diaper organizer? Yes because no matter how much you say you will strictly change your baby on the changing table, you will end up doing it on the floor, the couch, bed and pretty much everywhere. Something with a handle will help you get around with all your diapers, wipes and other necessities.
5- MAM bottles– Known as the Anti Colic bottles. The air flow design at the bottom of the bottle allows for just the right amount of air to keep the nipple from collapsing and the milk flowing nicely through the bottle. They also have a SkinSoft nipple that mimics breastfeeding, my nursing/pumping friend swore by these! My favorite feature though has to be that the bottom comes off for no worry cleaning, Mom win!
6- Pacifiers- To think you thought only hair ties just vanished. Lift the mattress of any toddler who loves their binky, plug, nuk and you’re sure to find a handful. No two are created equal and your baby will most likely have a preference, my preference is any that have a strap or a stuffed animal that can be attached so they can be easily found.
7- Baby Carrier by LILLEbaby– Every mom needs a baby carrier and not just outdoorsy hiking Moms, because baby wants to be with you when you’re loading the dishwasher I love this carrier because it’s adjustable six ways including a hip carry option which many others do not have. A zip off panel for all weather so your babe doesn’t get too hot. Breathable 3D mesh, comfy padding for Mom and comes in beautiful colors and patterns. For baby from 7 to 45 lbs
8- Boppy– I haven’t met a Mom that didn’t love her Boppy! Being a c-section Mom myself mine was a lifesaver. The half circle design that fits around your waist as you sit to hold your baby comfortably for feedings is perfect. We used the boppy to prop baby up for sitting later which allowed a little more stability for playtime. The zip off covers in prints and even soft kinky fabrics are perfect for spit up incidents and wash easily too. The Bobby Lounger is another favorite for laying next to baby on floor or a pillow for the parents.
9- Baby Monitor– When baby naps you shouldn’t have to tip toe around, crack the door and check if they’re still asleep. Get a good baby monitor, preferably one with a camera and a temperature monitor. Some models even have bells and whistles such as recording features, intercom and music.
10- Swing/Bouncer– You’ll need a place to put baby down that can still be entertaining for a while. Most if not all swings and bouncers now come fully loaded shall we say, with lights, toys, music and motion. If space is a concern “travel” size swings might be a good option and look for bouncers that fold.
11- Play Mat Activity Gym– Another keep baby busy option, a play mat is super important for tummy time. I love a play mat that folds away, has different textures for baby to explore and is machine washable. Lights and sound can be a fun bonus too. I suggest to with these items to mix songs/brands so you are not listening to the same lullaby on repeat.
12- Pack and Play-
We took ours everywhere, from Grandmas house to the water park. I loved how portable we could be and not have to worry where the baby was going to sleep or be put down safely in maybe not so baby proof places once they were mobile. Some even come with built in bassinets, changing tables, twin options, music, vibration, diaper organizers the features are endless. If you are going to use it as a sleep source, they also make mattresses for them, we had one for grandma’s house.
13- Sleep Sheep- Sound Soother– Ever notice how a baby can sleep in a crowded room but in a quiet house a pin drop could wake them? Babies love white noise and we love our Sleep Sheep! With 4 soothing sounds like rain and ocean ability to hang on the crib it’s also adorable. We has sheep and giraffe and they went everywhere when we traveled, it was the one constant and it stuck on to things. I am pretty sure Grandma still has one at her house to use.
14- ERGOPouch- Cocoon Swaddle & Sleep Bag–
No fuss, no wrapping, A zippered swaddle to sleep bag. These are made with breathable organic cotton and come in sweet colors and patterns. I love the arm feature, snaps allow you to go from swaddle to sleep sack by unveiling arm holes. The longer style allows for extra leg room too.
15- Bibs: Bibs with pockets–
Save your highchair some of the mess too with a bib with a pocket. Wipeable/washable silicone that catches dropped food, no mess on baby’s lap or in the seat.
b.box travel zip Bibs–
Life gets messy when it comes to baby and toddler feeding time and these bibs are a big help! Designed with a pocket in front for food catching that then doubles as a portable pouch you can pack up your bib inside of itself. Also comes with a spoon.
16- b.box Sippy Cup with Innovative Weighted Straw
Weighted straw, who knew? The weighted straw feature allows the end of the straw to stay in the liquid even when the cup is tipped up. Less fuss from your Littles trying to distinguish bottle or straw cup, this can be both.
17- Mabel’s Labels
Kids Lose things! I love these because they are customizable with cute designs and washable. We have everything in our house Mabels Label-ed!! Beach towels for 5+ years still looking brand new, water bottles and phones. They are 100% worth every penny if you don’t want to loose your kids stuff at daycare, preschool etc.
Another 2 time mom tip: We went with items we could find almost everywhere, so if we lost the 5th paci on vacation we could find in any food store/pharmacy/etc when amazon, BUYBUYBaby and Target weren’t around.
