A 〉 Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rocker– Damian lived in this the first 3 months. It was easy for him to sit in and nap in. We still use it today if he happens to fall asleep downstairs but I see us using it more once he starts walking around and wanting to sit because it converts to a toddler chair!
B 〉 Nuby Cloth Pacifinders with Plastic Snaps– This is the only kid i’ve had that has kept the pacifier past a few weeks. We lost a bunch of them the first month but once I found these little snaps we’ve kept on top of where his “chupis” is! Also yay for cloth and easy to clean!
C 〉 Playtex Baby Ventaire Anti Colic Baby Bottle– Hands down our most favorite bottle of all time. All 3 kids used this bottle and still love it. No colic issues here. Damian did well with them from the very beginning as we supplemented with formula. had no issues going from boob to bottle and back.
D 〉 Haakaa Silicone Breastfeeding Manual Breast Pump– I breastfed a little longer this time around and used this pump to catch my milk when I was breastfeeding. I was able to save my milk rather than losing it. It was easy to carry around and easy to clean too. A must for breastfeeding moms for sure!
E 〉 Tommee Tippee Night Time Pacifiers– His favorites. We were sent a sample and he loved them. We had moved him up to the bigger size because of his cheeks but he still preferred the 0-3.
F 〉 Boon Lawn and Twig Drying Racks– Hubs came home with this rack and twig aside from how cool they look in our kitchen they actually do a great job at holding and drying all our bottle pieces. I can’t even remember what I used with the other kids.
G 〉 Baby Dove Tip to Toe Wash and Lotion– We were sent Baby Dove products to try and loved them. My kids have sensitive skin so I was unsure if this would be a product we could use. Damian has done well and smells so good. They carry it in sensitive skin too.
H 〉 Ziggy Baby Muslin Swaddle Blankets– These are so good. They’re extra large and can be used not only to swaddle but to cover when feeding baby. I always carried one on the go.
I 〉 Pampers Swaddlers and Sensitive Wipes– We are part of Pampers Baby Board but all 3 of our kids have been wearing Pampers since day 1! We love the Swaddlers and sensitive wipes the most especially in the first 3 months.
J 〉 SwaddleMe By Your Side Sleeper– The best co-sleeper. It doesn’t take up too much space and Damian lived in it for the first 3 months of life. It saved us a lot of getting up and staying up because even as a 3rd-time mama I still check to see if my baby is breathing. This made life simpler.
K 〉 Carter’s Short-Sleeve Bodysuits– He lived in these because they were the easiest to deal with during the summer.
L 〉 Infantino Grow-with-Me Gym and Ball Pit– This was a great buy especially because he loved it and will be able to use it as he grows. It’s great for tummy time with so many things to entertain him. It was also a safe area and he learned to roll over in it too. Best of all it grows with him so when he begins to sit we can transform it into a ball pit! The dangling toys that it comes with are also removable. It’s easy to wipe down to clean too.

Thank you for this list! I’m due in September with my first and I honestly have no idea what I need/don’t need so this is very helpful.
