In brief

Halo sleep sack
This sleep sack swaddles babies snugly for womb-like comfort.
“This sleep sack is very well made with adorable patterns and incredibly soft fabric. It keeps our baby warm and cozy, and the material is sturdy enough to gently hold his arms in place without waking him. Since we started using these, he’s been sleeping so much better and rarely wiggles his arms free. Highly recommend for better sleep and peace of mind!”
Newton bassinet
This bassinet offers breathability, washability, and large size for safe sleep.
“Such a high-quality and beautiful bassinet. We have gotten so much use out of it as a bedside sleeper and a travel crib, and we currently use it for our 6-month-old as a 'kitchen bassinet' when we have to set him down to get things done. Highly recommend!”
Baby bouncer chair
This bouncer chair vibrates and has a toy bar for entertainment.
“This bouncer is amazing. Not only does it work perfectly for the reason we bought it (to allow the baby to sit up, hang out with us, and use the mobile), but it also serves another much-appreciated purpose. We lovingly refer to this bouncer as the 'poop chair.' Within 20 minutes of being in this bouncer, a poop is guaranteed!”
Aquaphor baby ointment
This ointment treats drool rash, dry skin, and diaper rash.
“I can't recommend Aquaphor enough! It's been a lifesaver for my baby's delicate skin. Whenever I've tried other products, my little one has developed diaper rash and discomfort. But with Aquaphor, his skin stays moisturized. It's truly the best.”
Tushbaby hip carrier
This carrier reduces back, arm, and shoulder strain for parents.
“You need this now! I love this thing so much. It's sturdy, easy to wear, and takes the pressure off your back and arms when carrying your baby. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and this has been an absolute game changer for us.”
Muslin burp cloths
These cloths protect shoulders from spit-up and clean messes.
“When I was a new mom, I ordered several different brands of cute burp cloths with all different designs and colors. None of them comes close to comparing to these. These absorb so much better and are super soft and easy to clean”
Newton travel crib
This crib packs compactly for vacations and has a play yard.
“The deluxe travel crib and play-yard is exactly what I was looking for. My almost 2-year-old toddler is tall enough to climb out of a standard pack-and-play and won't sleep unless she is contained”
Diaper Genie
This device contains stinky diapers without spreading odor.
“Pretty awesome design that really traps all odors! Fits a good number of diapers as well before needing to be replaced with a new bag”
Mabē baby carrier
This carrier has padded shoulder straps for comfort.
“This carrier is absolutely stunning, so soft, functional, and perfect for a mom of now three babies! I have tried different carriers, and this one is by far my favorite!”
FridaBaby medicine dispenser
This syringe helps put medicine into babies without struggle.
“This thing is worth its weight in gold! A must-have in my opinion because it makes life so much easier. We use it with gripe water or Tylenol”
Pacifier lovey
This lovey helps keep babies focused during bottle feeding.
“My son loves Philips Avent pacis like nobody's business, so of course he loved his little giraffe buddy from them, too!! As he's gotten older, the giraffe has come in handy in an unexpected way, he gets SOOOO fidgety and distracted when he's taking a bottle, but my sister figured out that if you hand this lovey to him to keep him occupied, he'll focus more on eating!”
Comfy zip-up jammies
These jammies have soft, breathable, and stretchy fabric.
“Soft, stretchy, and washes wonderfully. Love the open feet now that she is walking”
Rechargeable nose aspirator
This aspirator has three suction levels and a built-in light.
“As a mom of four, I’ve tried my fair share of baby products, and when it comes to keeping little noses clear, a good nasal aspirator is a game changer. I recently tried the Grownsy Baby Nasal Aspirator, and I have to say, it’s a lifesaver!”
Dishwashing bucket
This bucket keeps baby equipment separate for cleaning.
“Wouldn’t survive the newborn stage without this to keep track of our bottles so we can sanitize them each night. Easy to clean and goes in dishwasher”
Bottle washer
This washer cleans up to eight bottles at once.
“I've only had this for about a week so far, but I love it!!! I had a smaller version, and I was running it at least twice a day. This fits all my pump parts and three to four bottles, so I only have to run one wash cycle a day”
Wipeable changing mat
This mat wipes clean without extra laundry.
“I was looking for an aesthetic changing pad that would fit on a dresser, that wiped down, and was comfortable for my baby. The Lalo changing pad checks all of those boxes! Love the shape, the straps for baby, the color, how easy it is to clean, and the grips on the bottom to keep it secure!”
