We welcomed our third daughter this spring and the gear we purchased almost seven years ago with our first is still going strong! I think a seven year testing period is a pretty good recommendation, right? With out further ado…
one / This monitor is new to us and a really great price point. You can add additional cameras and smart features like room temperature and night vision keep parents feeling safe. It is simple and easy to use!
two / This serenity star was a life saver with my first daughter. I was an anxious first time parent and was convinced her room was either too hot or cold at any given time. Enter the serenity star that will glow red, blue, or white indicating the room temperature. It gave me so much peace of mind!
three / This sound machine is new to us and has been a life saver. With two older sisters and so much noise this helps keep baby girl fast asleep.
four / Cuddle + Kind dolls have been a favorite in our house and is the perfect gift for any baby shower. So many cute options!
five / A teether and rattle that is so easy for your baby to hold.
six & seven / The boppy nursing pillow offers so much support and comfort when nursing. I have used this pillow with all my girls and added this nordic Swiss black cross slipcover for a modern look.
eight / The best burp clothes that fit nicely over your shoulder for maximum coverage or snaps at the back to turn into a bib.
nine & ten / I found this baby shampoo through Grove and fell in love. It smells heavenly but best feature of all – no harsh chemicals! Our bathroom is super tiny and I don’t have anywhere to store a baby tub so this sponge was the best solution and worked out great!
eleven / I love this diaper pail. Locks in odor and no need to buy special bags!
twelve / Clementine Kids is a new brand to me and I fell in love with the design. Baby girl is our rainbow baby! This quilt can be easily washed and oh so soft!
thirteen / We have used this crib with all of our girls – going on eight years of usage! It is sturdy and made of quality material. We removed the caster wheels for a more traditional look.
fourteen & fifteen / aden + anais changing pad cover and crib sheet are so incredibly soft and durable after 5 years of usage.
sixteen / Great on the go change mat but best feature is the baby wipe case!
seventeen / New to me this time around but gosh do I love this diaper bag. It is extremely spacious with individual compartments to store items and you can carry it over your shoulder or wear as a backpack.
eighteen / The cutest swaddle blanket!
nineteen / Waterproof wet bag for just about anything! Lets be honest blow outs happen, A LOT and also perfect for wet bathing suits.
twenty / This portable high chair was new to me this time around and folks it is a game changer! The perfect safe space for baby to sit, eat, and play. It is designed to fit dining chairs of most shapes and sizes and machine washable.
twenty-one & twenty-two / This stroller is an investment but we have had ours for 8 years now and it is still going strong. I absolutely love it! When we lived abroad it was practically our second car and safely carried a baby and toddler throughout the city and our European travels. It has an extra large easy access basket and the sunshade provides ample cover. It also comes with a bassinet which we end up using inside the home as an additional sleeping spot. The infant snug seat softly cradles child while supporting their neck and back and can be safely used from birth. This stroller is my number one recommendation!
twenty-three / I have a carrier I love but needed something for those infant days and this perfectly carries newborns.
twenty-four / We did not use this car seat since UPPAbaby did not make one when we first had our daughter seven years ago but if you are going with the stroller then I would highly suggest going with the car seat too. I have used my girlfriends and it is easy to install and light weight.
twenty-five / A play mat is the only toy you need for an infant. All my girls loved being under the canopy and looking at the dangling toys. This mat grows with your child from tummy time to play fort.
twenty-six / We have had this high chair for 7 years and are extremely happy with it. It has a small foot print, easily wipeable tray and converts to a youth chair. Oh, and it doesn’t look half bad!
twenty-seven / This rocker is new to us and the perfect addition to your living room.
