I will never say I know it all, but I will say that I’ve learned a lot after having 6 (almost 7) babies. One of the things I’ve learned is baby products. I want to share my top baby product picks that have become tried and true over the years. These are the ones I will not go without. They have either lasted through all my kids or are worth getting over and over again because I use them so much. I also have a blog post where I show What I Pack in my Hospital Bag that you may want to check out too.
If you’ve had even 1 baby, you know there are those things you think “how could anyone NOT use this”. We all have them. There is a lot of baby products out there, but there’s good reason for that. Having the right bathtub makes all the difference when bathing a baby. Having the right swaddle makes all the difference to get a good comfy wrap. Having the right baby carrier makes all the difference in not throwing out your back every time you carry your baby for hours on end. You get the point.
Pacifiers
I love Ryan and Rose Pacifiers. If you’ve never shopped with Ryan and Rose, click this link to get $5 off your first purchase of $12 or more. If you have purchased before, click here to shop on Amazon.
Sleep Sacks
Kyte Baby is my go-to for Sleep Sacks. They have varying thicknesses for warmth and come in the best variety of colors/patterns. Click here for $10 off your first order of $50 or more.
Onesies
H&M side snap onesies have always and forever been my favorite. I think I got my first pack of them with Jude and I get a fresh new pack with every single baby. They are thick and good quality, they come in great solid colors, and the side snap is a look I have always loved. Plus, it’s so much easier and gentler to not have to put over baby’s head every time. This is the new set (click here) I just bought for baby girl this last weekend.
Burp Cloths
I don’t think any mom would argue that this is a must have. And a must have that you need about 10 of, but luckily they always sell them in packs of about 10. After lots of babies, these are my newest favorites. The key to a burp cloth is absorption. And these do the job. They come in a 10-pack here.
Bath Tub
I have had the same baby bathtub for all 7 kids, so that’s a win. The First Years Bathtub in the best in my opinion. Sure, there are cuter ones out there now. But this one takes the cake. It has a sling to start your brand new baby in. Then it transitions to a reclined position on one side, and finally a more upright position as your baby starts sitting up more. It works all the way from newborn until your baby is ready for an actual bathtub. And the price point is great (especially if you divide that by 7 kids).
Washcloths
While we are talking about bathing, you need a simple washcloth. I like these ones because they are thin enough to get in all the nooks and crannies. You don’t want a super plush washcloth for a baby. You want something gentle and thin.
Sound Machine
Does everyone use a sound machine for their babies? I think the percentage would be super high. It’s so nice to have that gentle background noise, it’s soothing and consistent. This is something I’ve changed over time, but right now I’m using the Hatch Sound machine. I like that you can control it from your phone if needed also.
Baby Lullabies
While we are talking sleep, this is something I have always done and it’s just really sweet to me. I’ve always had a soft and sweet lullaby playing in my babies rooms during nap and night. Who knows if it helps, but if it’s just for me as I nurse and lay them down, I love it. Click here for one cd I have, and click here for another.
Swaddles
Another product I have switched over time is my swaddles. I am 100% sold on a stretch swaddle now. They have stretch and I can do the best baby burrito that completely stays in place with these. There is nothing cuter than a swaddled baby, am I right? There are lots of companies that make great stretch swaddles, but my go-to’s are Kyte Baby and LouLouandCompany.
Nursing Pillow
My tried and true nursing pillow is the Luna Lullaby. I take it everywhere with me, it’s soft enough to sleep with, and has lasted me through all my babies. It’s a totally different shape than traditional ones and way more useful in my opinion. It even doubles as a great pillow for tummy time and when baby is learning to sit up. That’s a good investment right there.
Snuggleme Lounger
I haven’t had a Snuggleme Lounger for all my babies. Maybe I got my first one with Beck? Either way, I love it. I surprisingly would bring it everywhere with me when we traveled. It’s wonderful to have a safe place for baby to play no matter where you are. I love this around the house because it’s a bit of protection for the baby while they lay and play.
Bouncer
A bouncer is a simple and safe seat you can carry all around your home. I take it with me when I shower so baby can be right there, you can bring it in the kitchen while you cook, or it’s a great place to play during the day. I will not say this one is the cutest one around, but it is functional. Some of them don’t come with a toy bar, and although it may look more sleek without, they are wonderful for when your baby gets a few months old and is reaching their hands out to toys.
Play Mat
Whatever you call them, play mat or play gym, they are wonderful. I love this one from Skip Hop because it’s easy to set up, lightweight, and has great little hanging toys at the perfect height for little babies. This is the perfect mat to lay your baby under and enjoy playtime with their siblings too. They are safe and it’s a fun activity for the whole family.
Baby Toys
You need a few baby toys, even right from the start. Well, maybe not day 1, but a month in it’s fun to start introducing. And if you have older kids, this is a great way to involve them in playing with your new baby. There are a million toys out there, so many are fun and cute, but for the purpose of showing you one of my favorites, it’s this one. Pull-down toys are so cute. Hook it to your carseat, play. mat, or just hold and play.
I’m sure I could keep going on this subject, but there needs to be a stopping point. There are so many top baby products, but who knows, maybe I’ll do round 2 here for when baby gets a little bit older. Either way, these are essentials and every new mom should have them in my opinion. I would love to hear your ONE go-to baby item that you can’t live without. Leave it in the comments, maybe we’ll all learn something new!
xo, Sarah

SarahThe baby bjorn bouncer has been amazing! For a sleep sack I love the woolino. We don’t use many baby products but my midwife gave us a baby tip that saves us the first few day. She gave us a peri bottle full of olive oil to put on baby’s bottom so the meconium doesn’t stick to the skin. 🙌🏼

Viktoriya bratnichenko
Favorite items I’ve used with all my babies was the oxo travel bottle cleaning tray with brush! I’ve recommended it to so many moms who loved it and I’ve gifted them to moms who also loved it!

Deb Clardy
This is so helpful, I am having my first grandbaby, after 5 yrs. So excited!!!!! Baby carrier is a favorite.

Kristen Ivey
Gotta have a sound machine! Love it
Vanessa
Lou lou and company swaddles and knotted gowns.

My favorite product is a wrap so I can baby wear for at least 1 nap a day and feel like I can get things done! It’s a bonus that it also makes my baby fall asleep immediately.
Jessica
Baby lounger!
Angela Barta
My kids are much older, 17, 16, 14, 12. But my favorite baby item when my youngest two were born were sleep sacks. I wish I would have had them when my oldest was born almost 18 years ago. Cloth diapers were my favorite for burp cloths!

That bathtub is perfect for all ages babies! Also love all things Ryan and Rose.
Brianna
I’m 4 babies in (with another on the way), and my can’t live without items are a pacifier (Ryan and Rose are my fave too!), a good cozy blanket for baby, and comfy clothes (Lou Lou, Kyte baby, L’oved are my faves)!! Oh, and a structured baby carrier is a must for me too! I’m a very minimalistic mama, and I love it that way!
Brittany
We are definitely a Ryan and Rose family! I love that they have multiple nipple options since every baby is different!
Tracy
As a grandparent, I didn’t realize how awesome sound machines are until our little guy spent the night at our house and my stepdaughter forgot to pack it! Definitely sound machine!!! Lifesavers and the babies sleep so much sounder!!!

Veronica Vela
The nosiboo has been the best investment by far! It’s my go to for cold season!
Tia Meerbergen
I love the burp clothes you have on here. We use the same ones. So soft and absorbent. My favorite baby item is our bedside bassinet. We have the kind that attaches right to the side of our bed and I love that baby is right there within reach, easy to touch and reassure an anxious new mom that babe is breathing, easy to pop a pacifier back in. And I just loved laying there looking at my sweet bave sleeping as I went to sleep.
Brenda Brown
Sound Machine

T Lacy
The snuggle me would have been a game changer when I had my son. Best wishes to you and your family bringing your lil girl into the world.
Taylor B.
Any sort of baby lounger is a must for me! Safe spot for baby to play while mom pumps or siblings are playing!

My haakaa is the most essential thing I used for our 7th baby! I wish I had it 17 years ago for baby #1!!!
amandagoodman333
Can’t live without our sound machines! I have three, one in each bedroom.
Chelsey Sicheneder
A sound machine is a must have item for me. There are so many items now that I either didn’t know about with my boys or just were not made yet. Several items you suggest are on my wish list to try when we get our baby girl.
Ramona Beachy
Wool Cover for the carseat, if it is winter time
Amanda Donnelly
I love sound machine, sleep warps, soothers these are the things I could not live without. ❤️
Mollie Barry
One of my fave baby products, especially since recently having baby #3, is my Moby Wrap! So useful to have so I can easily chase around my two toddlers!
Kendra Watkowski
Love having a sound machine!
Kate Patches
It’s so hard to pick just one favorite baby item! For me I would say definitely a sound machine, OXO wipe container, and a good quality carrier (LOVE my ergo!), especially when you have multiple children!
Brenda Wulterkens
My favorite thing is receiving blankets but I use them as burp cloths because the other ones are just too darn small 😂 I want full coverage lol
Melanie Holtzem
Love the hatch sound machine and kyte sleep sack!!
Jamie Richmond
My baby is now 7, but my Ergo was a necessity!!!!!! I cried when I sold it! Loved carrying my babies close!
Sus
I lllooovvees our nose frida! And wouldn’t want to be without it.
Lindsey
I agree about the sleep sacks!! We love them and they are definitely a top favorite in our house! I’ve had my eye on the snuggle me and might have to snag one for baby #2! Thanks for all the great recommendations!!
Kelsey
I love our ergo 360 carrier! Currently in my 3rd trimester with baby #3 and your list has me eager to start nesting and try out some new items! Thanks, Sarah 🙂
Maycie Lee
My favorite baby item is the Snuggleme! My newborn loves it so much! It instantly calms him down❤️
Rebekah White
Love the Ollie baby swaddle!
Amber
My favorite baby item is a BOB stroller! So sturdy and heavy duty. I also love Scripture Lullabies! My 2 1/2 year old has listened to them while falling asleep his whole life, in fact he falls asleep so fast when I turn it on, he just know that that’s sleep music. 😊
Angeline Zimmerman
I invested in a genuine leather purse/backpack for my diaper bag for my first baby. It is quality and timeless and I can use it even when I don’t have babies anymore and never goes out of style.
Alyssa P
Sound machine hands down. We take it everywhere or we don’t sleep. 🤪
Samantha
Definitely love our boba wrap and boon bottles
Kendra Brown
Though I’m ever so thankful for our sound machines. My fav baby product would probably be the Nose Frieda. It’s literally saved me multiple times for my kiddos!
Nadine
Pacifiers!
Kara Hatchel
Pregnant with my first so idk what my favorite things are quite yet but so far I love Ryan and Rose’s pacifiers and things. They’re so cute.
Cassy
Definitely swaddles/sleep sacks and bouncers or swings!
Emily
Sound machine!! You can use it for many years to come, not just in infant years 💗💗
Sarah Angles
I can’t believe you are having baby girl so soon!! I’m due with baby #4 in July and I’m so excited! Our second little girl! We love the bibs brand pacifier here but my all time favorite baby product that I get for everyone is a baby bum brush! With this baby I’m hoping to get a lalabu baby carrier! It’s our last baby and I can’t believe after a year of trying we are already half way done with this pregnancy!
Kelli Olson
my babies are 3,6 & 9 but we have always loved sound machines and they all still have them!!
Madison Devino
We have always loved our sound machine! It goes everywhere with us when we travel. I’m really looking forward to trying sleep sacks this time around. I had one with my son but we never used it. I can’t wait to see the difference this time. Thanks for sharing!!
Abby
Boogie bottoms diaper spray! Feels “extra” and luxurious, but so handy just to give a quick spray and be on the way!
Tami
Baby gowns versus zip or snap pjs were my favorite especially the first several months. I had no desire to have to fight zipping or snapping in the middle of each sleep deprived night 😂 All 4 of our kids loved to be swaddled in the old school light flannel receiving blankets and those double great as emergency burp rags because they’re very absorbent! I also used actual burp rags (most of ours were Gerber Baby brand or Carters brand) for everything for years too!
Karen Byler
Definitely nursing pillow or swaddle blanket or so many other things😂😍
Liz
Love, love our sound machine. Also have loved the nose frida, aquifor, and silicone bibs for when they start solid.
Mary Morris
My favorite baby items are Dr Brown baby bottles, bouncer, swaddle snap blanket and any pacifier a baby will take.
MJ
Sound machines are so helpful!
Rachael
Kyte baby sleep sacks🙌🏼
Ashley T
Thank you for sharing this post! I am pregnant with our fourth and this is an excellent refresher for things we will need when the baby arrives! My favorite is the bouncer seat! Not fancy but oh so helpful!
Krista
The wubbanub pacifiers are a favorite of ours!
Lexi Allred
Sleep Sacks are heaven sent! Also solly wraps are an amazing thing also!
Chasity Rodgers
These are all SO good!!! Burp clothes are definitely the best!!
Debi W
After having seven babies myself the best are the kyte baby sleep sacks! (And jammies)
Page Russell
Great list! I’d say knotted gowns by Milkmaid goods and Gigi and Max; Sophie the giraffe teether, and the Ergo embrace baby carrier! 💕
Page Russell
Page RussellOh I love Scripture lullabies too, and love my kids falling asleep to them. I have so many memorized and love that as well.🥰
Heather C
Page RussellI love a good cozy blanket!!
Judith Cook
Baby carrier
Sara p
I live Ryan and Rose too. I’m trying out their smile pacifier for this 3rd baby. I also am obsessed with the cloud island onesies.
Jennifer
Just one?! Nursing pillow and swaddle blankets must useful in beginning
Mckinna

Out of everything: SLEEP SACKS. 💯 I could do without every other single thing but not sleep sacks! We ALL need our sleep! Sooooo excited for your baby girl’s imminent arrival! I check every day just to make sure! Praying for you as you come to mind. Xxx
Danielle Vertiyev
Yesss we love that sound machine too!
Alexandria
Going to try the snuggle me lounger with my first baby boy! I’ve heard great things and excited to give it a try. So glad to hear it’s a must have from an experienced momma 🤗
Tiffany Merryman
Sound machine hands down my fav product! We even bought a travel one.
ChristineW
The bouncer is my personal favorite! Perfect for newborn stage on, until they become mobile!
Alyssa Garcia
Little sleepies pajamas with the fold over cuffs and feet. My son wore his newborn ones up until he was 6 months old, and he’s in the 90th percentile for both height and weight so not tiny! He’s in a 6-12 mo now at 8 months and they will still fit him for awhile 🙌 They’re bamboo so keep him comfortable plus the fold over cuffs are a lifesaver since he has eczema and is always scratching 😕
Aubrey Hannah
I’ll be 36 weeks tomorrow with baby #2! I couldn’t live without a sound machine the first time around and loved the side snap onesies!
I also loved having a Saranoni baby blanket for my first!
Nicole Spindor
Sleeps sacks and sound machine are my two must haves!!
Sarah Blanchard
I loveeeee a good sound machine! The hatch sounds amazing. Thank you for the recommendations, Sarah! 💗💗💗
Rebecca
Yes to sleep sacs!! Loved using them for our kids. Our oldest is 16 and at that time, I couldn’t find/buy them in Canada, so family in the Netherlands would send them over for me 😀
Carolina
The Hatch sound machine is definitely my favorite! My daughter is 19 months old and still uses hers every single night.
Tracie
Sound machine is a must! Also love kyte baby!
Chaitali Kalra
Sound machine all the way
Jamie Couvaris
Owlet. My oldest was a premie and after being in the NICU for 9 weeks on monitors it gave me the comfort I needed at home to see her levels!!! Helped this mama rest peacefully!
Nicholle
We are due with baby #4 (boy? girl?) in May. I have thought about getting the Snuggle Me Lounger in the past but never pulled the trigger. Sounds like you have loved it. Thanks for the great blog post. Love following your family.
Meagan
Gotta have the sleep sacks & sound machine! Also love a good swaddle blanket from LouLou & Co!
Paige
100% sleep sacks are the best!

Some stretchy and soft sleepers that zip up from the bottom.
Sharon
Snuggle me!

About to be a third time Mom on March 17! I loved reading all your favorites. I agree that a sound machine is a must and I also bought the snuggle me lounger for this kiddo! Thanks for sharing and blessings to you as you welcome sweet baby girl into the world 💗
Kelsey Burres
I gotta say the ultimate item that will carry into older years (& beyond) would be the sound machine! Honestly my hubby & I can’t even sleep without one now! We take them when we travel!
Brittany Goyak
The Haaka, ergo 360, the Zoe + twin stroller for the season of multiple littles.
Stephanie
A friend gifted me that cd when I got my first position as a preschool teacher. I played it at Naptime every day for each of my classes through the years. Now I get to play it for my own kids. I still love it.
Taylor Herrera
Pregnant with our 4th! This is such a great list! I love the snuggle me, graco duoglider swing, baby wrap.. too many things to just pick one!!
Nelson
Taylor HerreraLOVE and totally agree with this list! The sound machine was a MUST for us because baby had 2 older siblings 😂 Can’t wait to meet baby girl!! ❤️
Sarah
NelsonOh my goodness yes! Especially with older kids!

Love all of these baby essentials! So excited for your family!
Courtney
I agree! Kyte sleep sacks and the snuggle me lounger are a must!
Kassi Early
So many practical suggestions! I’d agree with most of your must haves!
Brianna Greer
The Snuggle Me Lounger was a game changer with our third baby (she was born in July). And of course, all the white noise in this house for sleep!
Alyssa Hendricks
Snuggle me, hands down! And all things Lou Lou and Co- literally all my baby wore for the first year of her life- expecting baby #2 in fall and so excited to get more stuff! Absolutely adore you, you’re fam, and your blog! Can’t wait to see baby girl!!!!
Simone Friesen
The stretchy swaddles are my favorite for sure. They are honestly a game changer. I’m my opinion way better then the muslin swaddles. I love muslin dresses for my girls but when it comes to swaddles I’m all about the stretchy kind. My last baby actually loved being swaddled so much. I swaddled and rocked her to sleep all the way until her first birthday. It would calm her down and put her to sleep right away.
Andrea White
About to have our third and I could not live without the baby bjorn bouncer and ollie swaddle. Two things I always gift to new moms
Alex Doty
My favorites are the kyte sleep sack and sound machine!
Melinda
Love a good lounger! It’s the best to have your hands free and my babies love just chilling in it 😁
Madison Adams
As a mom of four, almost five boys I can vouch for the Hatch sound machine. It’s sooo good. Definitely something I can’t live without. Also one thing you didn’t mention that’s on my list is blackout curtains! I feel like they help a lot with sleep too.
Rebecca
Baby carrier is a must for me!
Are due dates are very close! March 18th here for our 5th boy 🙂
Diana Lee
Baby swing was a life saver with baby #3. Kept the older ones from picking him up and could watch everything around him
Kathi Hovland
Sound machine!
Megan DeLong
The onesies are so cute!
Jessica Halterman
Definitely a second car seat base is a must. Moving the base from vehicle to vehicle is tough in a healing body. Favorite mama necessity is a Hakaa and a manual breast pump. Loved my Medela.
Jenifer Hanson
The kyte baby sleep sack is a favorite! Great quality super soft
and lots of options for colors and prints.
Marianne
We *just* found out we’re pregnant with our third! 🥳 We often joke that we have a wall of silence, and have sound machines in both boys’ rooms and one in the hallway for good measure. Prioritize sleep! Haha! Must need item! I haven’t had a lounger for either yet, but maybe that’s something I should get for this one.
Ashleigh Pitzer
Onesies and lounger
April
Sleep sacks are a lifesaver! I love the Ollie swaddle for the first few months!
Mirranda B
Yes! All of these! The kyte baby sleep sack has been a staple in our house for all 3 of our babies. My oldest (4) still loves wearing his !
Also I don’t know what I would do without the hatch sound machine !
Jessica Stonestrom
Some of my favorites are a rocking chair, air purifier or diffuser – nice for low lights, bouncer, pacifiers
Brooke Siebert
I have not tried it but I think the SnuggleMe lounger would be so handy for my son coming in April.
Daisia Toney
Pregnant with baby #2 and due next month! With my first, he loved baths. We had a little bath that transitioned through the months and loved it. Plan to find one for baby girl too!
Devyn
Hatch Sounds Machine and Zipper Sleepers
Svetlana Kruit
Oh such a tie, either the sound machine or a good baby carrier for those days when baby just needs a deep cuddle on mom. ♥️

I loved the vava egg light for late night feeds during the newborn days! And also the kick and play piano was a favorite (and still is 13 months later!)
AshleY Veurink
I love a sound machine with both my boys. With my second I wasn’t able to breastfeed and was gifted the Babybrezza bottle maker. It was a game changer in the middle of the night and helped reduce bubbles and preparation time. Happy baby, happier mama!
Emily Dingman
For us stocking up freezer meals was the most helpful. People didn’t bring us meals so it was stressful if I didn’t have things prepped or cooked ahead of time.
Alyssa Emerson
I would say my favorite baby item is milk snob nursing/ car seat covers!
Robyn Norbeck
Hatch sound machine!
Julia Dehue
Hi Sarah and Tim! My favorite would have to be sound machines! ❤️

Consistency is king!
Rachel Lewis
The Hatch is our all time favorite baby item!
Paula Newbill Newbill
Love the bouncer!!!
Joy
After 6 babies, the bouncer is for an essential baby item. Also, triangle bibs and copper pearl gowns are newer finds I wish I had used sooner.

All time favorite item Aden and Anais muslin swaddle blankets! We had so many and used them for night time comfort, swaddling, nursing cover, burp cloth, everything. They are the BEST! We still have them all and talk about making a big quilt with them.
Melanie
Mine would have to be a good rocking chair and breastfeeding pillow; the countless hours spent feeding my babies in a rocking chair I definitely feel a quality rocker is important and worth the money!
Anna
My favorite product is the Hatch for sure! I love all of the options for lighting and sounds and it’s so easy to program for different times of the day!
Brandi Brown
The onsies were an absolute must for me. Love easy access for skin to skin without going over babies head.
Brandi Brown
Brandi BrownOh…and your second book…while I love your first book and the concept, I became a mama though adoption and the growth wasn’t the same…we are now growing with them, but not then. The Song That Goes On and On and On and On is perfect for this house…because now as a mama of 5….the noise goes on and on and on and on!
Kendra
We just bought the Babysense monitor with 2 cameras and I love it! Beautiful crisp display and so many great features!

I loved the snuggle me when our baby was a newborn! It was one of the only places he’d let us put him down

Sleep sacks are the literal best!

Perfect collection of items!

No babies for me but I’m glad that you have compiled a list as an “ expert momma” for other moms! You’re just simply a joy and ever so thoughtful of other!
Leah
I haven’t had a little one in almost 7 years but am expecting my 3rd in September so everything seems all new. So these items are great. So many new baby items!! So with my first two I’d have to say a baby swing was one of my favorite items. It helped when they seemed a little fussy.
Getruda
Expecting my first and its definitely helpful to have all the tips and insight you have to offer!
Melinda
So much new stuff nowadays! My kids are almost 18 and almost 20🥴 not sure how that happened. Lol. But my niece just had her baby boy Archer on Feb 28th and im just confused on what to get. Would love one of your items! Would love to get her the snuggle me thing or a sleep sack. Thanks for the chance! Cant wait to to pics of your baby girl!❤️

It’s been a long time since we had a little one, but the bottle warmer was awesome for those late night feedings, and baby sleepsacks!! Prayers for a safe and quick delivery! Dios te cuide! 🙏🏼
Christina Snyder
Dr. Talbot’s diaper cream silicon brush, it’s a minor tool but so nice to use instead of fingers for applying diaper cream!
Ann B
I’m a 3X grandma hoping for more 😊
Kyte baby sleep sacks are now on my radar.
Leah Walder
Bibs!! And the dock a tot. 🙂
Kateri S.
Hard to pick! I think my favorite might be the sleep and play zipper outfits for the first few months. They are so easy to get on and very versatile for play and comfort!
Keyla
Stretchy swaddles, snap footies, and flat pacifiers (mam or Ryan & Rose) are my absolute must haves for every baby!
Alexis Wenzel
I couldn’t breast feed so the baby brezza bottle maker was a life saver!! As a mom of 6…it was even more of a lifesaver with each kid I had! Also, the baby swing!

Jaime-lyn Jolley
Mini fridge to put breast milk or milk beside the bed so at night you need it, it is close by. Especially if you have stairs and light sleepers.
Crystal Dietrich
My favorite that helped me so much was a baby carrier around the house & the sound machine.
Amy-Maree
Hard to choose a favorite because I swear you have the most comprehensive list here but I do wanna say the hatch is a must!
Charlotte Williams
Velcro swaddles, gripe water and a good bouncer for those early days!!!
Morghan Clark
Sound machine is also our fav, a MUST have!
Ali
R & R CutiePats are the best!! ♥️
Not only are they the best, but everyone behind them are amazing!!!
I love how they pray over all their products, praying for safe use and for the little ones who use them. ♥️
Maria
Definitely the nursing pillow or white noise
Crystal Schmidt
I’m soon to be a new grandma!! Looking for a fun young grandma name! 😀 Can’t wait to meet the little miss!!! I love the swaddles. They weren’t a thing when my babies were little. And if course couldn’t live without pacifiers…
Kelsey
I have a 20 month old and 6 month old twin boys. My friend has a baby Brezza for formula to use with her baby and I tried it out and I’m hooked! The price tag isn’t friendly, but it would be such a life saver to have with my twin boys who go through formula like crazy. 8 oz per bottle 😅 the most loved baby item so far has been our love every play mat. We used it with my toddler, and my twin boys absolutely love it! Definitely a win!
Kayla Felland
I can’t decide between sleep sacks/swaddles or the hatch sound machine. Life savers for us!
Katie Protzeller
Definitely sleep sacks although I’ve never tried the Kyte baby ones!! I’m due in a few weeks with our first baby girl so maybe this time! My babies seem to roll over pretty early so we don’t swaddle for long. Also love our hatch sound machines!!
Melissa Tomlinson
Swaddles!! Yes, I finally found a brand that works for me and I cannot wait to use it on our little girl who is due soon (we are past our due date so patiently waiting).
Kayla Jackson
Definitely a Kyte sleep sack
Ashley Luyk
Copper pearl swaddles, bibs, and burp rags!
Hannah
Hatch sound machine is by far one of my must-haves! 🙌🏻
Christine Dunn
Thank you for this list! Baby number two coming this Fall and we need a few of these things! We have always loved our Hatch sound machine for our now 18 month old, we will definitely be getting another one! We have yet to try the Kyte baby sleep sacks and pjs, or the snuggle me organic lounger – both sound like great items to add for our next little one!
Virginia
By far the nose Frida saved us from many many er visits .
Allison Breitbach
I love the play-mats! They are a must have.
S
Got to have the sleep sacks!
Cely MacDonald
Hushh portable sound machine & SwaddleUp transitional swaddles!
Caitlin
I have that bouncer and it’s been used so much with all three of my kids. Definitely functional and needed!
Hannah
The sound machine! Game changer!
Jessica Frost
For sure sound machine! But also our new favorite find is a pack and play black out cover – amazing for travel!!
Kimberly Rosser
We love Ryan & rose pacifiers & clips & @kalinmarieco for lovers to clip on pacifiers & blankets. Also, the snuggle me organic.
Alyssa
Sleep sacks, swaddles, and hatch sound machine!! My absolute musts!! The sound machine all my kids have and they love when their noise turns green it’s time to get up!
Hillary Henderson
I’m due the same week as you! Love all these items!
Becky
Definitely love the snuggleme, especially with the cute covers!
Eddy-layne Reister
I loved the bouncer with my first, we gave it away though! Just had our second (due date was March 14th but he arrived feb 27!!) and we forgot to get a bouncer or something like that to put him in safely away from our toddler 😂 woops!!! Also love the swaddles, our first didn’t like them but our second is a fan!
Kayleigh Speth
Silicone bibs! Best thing for easy clean up!
Mandy
I think I discovered the Beco Gemini baby carrier with my 5th, and it absolutely saved me with my 6th!
Kalli L.
Ryan & Rose is a favorite around here too! I have a fisher price baby bath similar to the one you use and it was a game changer for me. Love it so much more then the other options out there because of the sling for the newborn phase. Copper pearl burp cloths became a favorite for me with my second because of their thickness and cute prints. Absolutely love kyte baby sleep sacks and would buy them in a smaller size for a new baby as I didn’t have one till my oldest was over a year old (he actually still sleeps in his at 2.5).
Hhale
Swaddlez are my favorite ones too!
Jeannette Estes
Sleep sacks are the bomb!
Brittany O
I absolutely love Ryan & Rose and the SnuggleMe Organic Pillows
Kirstin
Pregnant with our fourth baby and the sound machine is a MUST! Our third baby I went ahead and got a portable one too and have used it so much. Also loved Copper Pearl Swaddles with our third and plan to get more for our 4th. My favorite item that was recalled and discontinued though is the Rock n Play! We have one that self rocks, vibrates and plays music. We still use it but just make sure it’s when we are present and only to a certain age! Definitely love love that!
Heidi Hillukka
My #1 baby item would probably be the Fisher Price Cradle n’ Swing. Best swing ever and great price point!
Katelynn Tritt
Swaddles and nuk bottles and bonks!
Katelynn Tritt
Katelynn TrittBinks*
Mary Brown
Lalabu baby Carrier
Hands down the best carrier ever! And I have tried a few as a nanny for years! And being able to carry my baby and still get things done is my Favorite thing ever!!
Susan Bush
One of my top baby item is a dock a tot. Congratulations on baby girl!
Steph G
Having a video monitor was/is a must for us. I couldn’t believe it when I had talked to friends who never had one. I used mine all the time with all 5 kids. And still use them when they’re toddlers, because I can’t always hear them if they wake up in the night.
Kimberly Rosser
It keeps saying I am ousting a duplicate comment:( I am not intentionally & can’t see that I commented before )
We love Ryan & rose pacifiers & clips & @kalinmarieco for lovers to clip on pacifiers & blankets. Also, the snuggle me organic.
Crystal Hofer
Swaddle blankets and play mat are my absolute Favorite! Wouldn’t want to be without either 1!!!
Stefanie
Knotted gowns to make night changes easier!
Andrea Stapleton
The Nose Frida from Frida baby! (Snot sucker :)) It really is so helpful when tiny babies can’t breathe well because of congestion. It’s gross but so worth it!! 😄
Lindsey
About to embark on baby number three! I’ve always wanted to try a snuggle me lounger!
Jillian Chester
I’m all about the sleep sacks and sound machines! Just had a baby (literally three days ago) and need to get my hands on these!
Kiley
Momma of 6 here!🤍 Completely agree on ALL of these favorite items!! I’ve had all of these items for all of my babies except for the snuggle lounger- but who knows maybe I can try it someday! 🤍
Laura Shepherd
Love a good sound machine/ nightlight. Never tried the snuggleme, but think it would also be a great baby item. Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your daughter. We had our fourth baby born this January. I just love the newborn stage and all the love that comes into the home.
Lavonne Peters
sleep sacks are amazing!
Ali
Snuggle me lounger!
Traci Jones
Didn’t have one but always wanted the snuggle me lounger. Swaddles and sleep sacks were a must!
Elise
Favorite, most used baby item is always my nursing pillows! I cannot live without it during those first few foggy learning to latch weeks!
Mattea McPhee
We have sound machines for our kids but not a Hatch — I’ve heard great things about it! It would be really nice to be able to control settings from my phone.
Kyli
Definitely Lou Lou swaddles and knotted gowns!
Kelli M
What a great list! My first is due in 6 weeks so I hope to be able to put some of these to good use. Can’t say what my favorite is just yet but the fact that we have to formula feed the Baby Brezza formula maker might be the big winner during those middle of the night feedings. I’m all about ways to make my life easier.
Beth Elliott
Baby bouncer and swaddles! 💛
Crystal
I received a snuggle me lounger with my last baby! Loved it!
Emily Ayers
I love Ryan and Rose pacifiers, and thank you for the great resources!

Megan White
We love love love our Hatch Light!

Tara
Swaddles are lifesavers!
Cait Malich
Due in June! Can’t wait to get a few of these recommendations!
Heather Carpenter
I just discovered Ryan and Rose, I think from a previous story of yours. My baby boy is due in May but that didn’t stop me from buying a few cutie pacs!! Definitely a top favorite for me.
Rebecca
So many good ones! I couldn’t do without a stroller-car seat system. And love a wipeable changing pad and Ergo 360!
Jessica Hardy
I loveeeee the snuggle me! It’s so amazing! My daughter slept amazing in it and love it!
Kerstin Strickland
Love reading recommendations from other mamas! So helpful!
Alivia Valentine
One of my favorite baby items that I will forever use with my babies is a wrap. My newborns lived in them.
Tiffany Acuff
I, too, love the First Years bathtub! I’m deeply curious about the snuggleMe lounger and wonder if it’d be comforting to babies coming into foster care, which is the only way we’re having new babies in the house now!
Briana
Good muslin swaddles are my favorite go to for baby!
Kelsey
I haven’t tried it out yet, but I think my favorite baby product would be switching to a collapsible baby bath! In a small home, the baby bath just feels so cumbersome to store!
Veronica
Snuggle me, sound machine, car seat and caddy!
Cassie Waterman
The burp cloths are definitely one of my absolute musts! I feel like I can never have enough in those first months of lots of spitups, and by the time the spitups end, the babies are teething and I use the burp cloths for all the teething drool!
Rachel Tennant
Burp clothes have been a must for our newest baby girl 😆 so they are my favorite in this season!
Aimee Blythe
Love all things kyte baby! I also swear by Ryan and rose and a sound machine!
Natasha Tiede
Loved the thicker Gerber burp cloths for my 4 babies!
Olivia Bruss
We love our Kyte!! Their sleep sacks are a must have! Also love our mini size Chappy Wrap fleece blanket that we use daily in the winter!
Jasmin Hatten
The baby bouncer for sure! Also baby carrier makes life so much easier.
Amanda S.
Those are my favorite onsies too!
Katherine Helm
I thought we wouldn’t use a sound machine, but it’s our lifesaver!! Our son clearly knows when it’s nap/bedtime when we turn the sound machine on! It’s the best!
Amy
Definitely a hatch!!!
Ashlyn
Absolutely the Hatch Sound Machine!
Morgan
My favorite baby item(s) are the copper pearl burp cloths! They’re thick, large, soft, and come in really cute patterns!
Jennifer Malott
So many good items on this list!
Melina onkoba
Ergo baby carrier. I wear my babies all the time though.
Megan
We love the kyte baby “sleepy sacks” as we call them! Actually bought our first one after your recommendation a few years ago and our three year old still wears one. 💕
Shannon
I swore we wouldn’t use sound machines and oh my, I was foolish! Ha! We love them! I also loved loved loved the sit me up seat!

Olivia
I’m actually about to have my first baby, so I can’t say that I have a fav item yet, but I am grateful for all the advice here 💗💗
Marienny
This is so helpful!
Kelli
Onesies are always great!
Regina Kauffman
How to pick only one??😊 I’d have to say my doona car seat/stroller and a close second is my portable sound machine!
Sindy Shepard
My favorite item was the dock, a tot!
Courtney Billingsly-Tien
Love the Halo sleep sacks and Wildbird ring sling. My husband could always make a great baby burrito, but I was constantly frustrated because the babies would always escape from my swaddles. The sleep sacks have been a game changer.
Sandra Hendrickson
One piece zipper outfits with feet! Or the envelope back!
Molly Vargas
One of many favorite items is having a diaper pale, we have the smaller cheap diaper genie right now because we moved but should’ve splurged on the ubbi pale as I’ve seen it at a family members house. They contain stink well.
Kris Sanders
Sound machine for the win!!
Erin
Such good recommendations! Saving this list because baby boy is due next month!
Natalie Carter
Loooove Lou Lou swaddles!!
Yuliya Teleten
Ooh just had my baby girl, after 4 boys so I am super excited for you… will have to look into the mute baby sleep sacks 🙂
Brittany Skow
Favorite baby item is a tie between Hatch sound machine and the snuggle me. Love them both!
Cami Proszek
Oh my gosh yes to the Snuggle Me!
Deacnie Bonilla
I was on the fence if to try the Ryan and rose pacifiers I am glad you have swayed me in that direction. I am also loving those H&M onesies. Thanks and best of luck with baby girls delivery.
McKenzie
Sound machines are a game changer! Especially in a small home.
Ashlei B
Swaddles, and sleep sacs are my favorite! I’d like to use the baby lounger for the next baby I watch ❤️ These are great tips!
Kristin
Yes! The snuggle me has become our favorite as well! Some of these others are new to me, so thank you so much for sharing!
Anita
I loved the snuggle me lounger! Baby girl coming in May!
Bethann
The Kyte baby sleep sacks are sooo soft!!!
Lylah Koch
I love my wrap carrier. I didn’t get a fancy one, just one from Amazon but it is the best! And my husband loves to wear baby too when we’re out and about!!
Amy Peedle
Love musical toys. I believe music is such a good thing for babies. Love sweet lullabies..
Nataliya
Have never tried a sleep sack with my babies, but feel like I need to!
Nicole
Baby blankets of various sizes and thicknesses. You can never have too many as they always come in handy.
Angela
We love the baby gowns for sleeping at night. So much easier to change diapers.
Molly Evans
We love our dohm white noise machine!
Ashley
Love the lounger!! My little one does so well in this!!
Kayla
I totally agree with you on the songs: I actually have 3 volumes of Hidden in My Heart lullabies that I play. I love it bc it’s Scripture, and my now 5 year old will sing them to his brother, and He has scripture memorized since He knows the songs!
The other thing that I LOVE is my swing. It’s not a fancy swing, but it’s perfect. It’s small, compact, folds up to easily store it away when not in use, and it goes up to 45 pounds! It’s the Grace slim Spaces compact baby swing. It’s under $100. It’s gone thru 4 kids (2 of mine and 2 friends borrowed it for their babies) and I’m planning to use it for my baby in the way. ❤️
Kody Nguyen
That’s a good list! I would say burp clothes are near the top of my list, followed closely by stretch swaddles and sound machines, because anything that helps with sleep is a must!
Tiana
I’m pregnant with my third, but my older two are 9 and 11, so we feel like we are starting over! I’m excited to try the Snuggle Me and will be adding the H&M onesies to my list, thank you!
Kelli B
My necessities were a million burp clothes, a halo swaddle, and Dr Brown’s bottles. I could handle it all if I had those (and Diapers, obviously lol)
Tammy
Sleep sacks! 🙌🏻
Erica Secrist
Sound machine and Haaka!
Liz
Good recommendations!
Mindy
I loved our snuggle me!
Megan Calvert
Definitely the hatch sound machine! Love that I can control it with my phone and choose from so many colors, brightness, sounds etc. Also for my 2nd baby, I got to try out a Konny baby carrier, it was a little too small for me to use more than once but it was amazing and so easy to put on. I would definitely invest in a nice soft baby carrier for my next baby, one that I don’t have to wrap up by myself cause I struggle with those.
Allie
Agreed on the hatch! 💙
Lesley Koehn
It’s been a hot minute since my babies were…babies. I like the thought of having lullabies playing softly in the baby’s nursery! My niece is having her first baby in August. I’m definitely gonna check out some of your favorites for Taylor and my first great nephew! Thanks!
Taylor
Kyte baby sleep sacks were recommended by my college roommate after her baby loved them! I feel like sleep sacks and a great sound machine (Hatch) are the main reason why we have slept through the night pretty consistently since 2 months!
Alyssa
Love the snuggle me, sound machine, momaroo swing!
Sydney Pauls
SnuggleMe is the best! I love all their earthy tones 😍

I love using the sleep sacks!
Ashley Gilbert
Sound machines are a must especially with older siblings ❤️
Emily K
Definitely a good sleep sack and sound machine are a couple of my top things. I haven’t tried the snuggle me but they sure look great!
Anna
I think my favorite must have item after 6 babies in would be the bouncy seat. Unfortunately ours bit the dust after baby #5 and our the chunky toddler trying it out when her baby brother wasn’t in it. Lol totally want to go check out kyte baby items now though!
Karysa Luckow
Hatch!
Cami Duckett
I am pregnant with my first baby. But I have always loved swaddling my friends babies!

Kari Hill
Just found out my daughter is pregnant with her first. I’m so excited.

Sydney
The SnuggleMe! Soo great and I love all their earthy colors. 😍

Love Kyte baby sleep sacks and the hatch sound machine! I’m curious to check out the lullaby cds, thanks for the suggestion!

Great post! I’ll have to run to H&M to check out their onesies. Baby #4 coming soon!
Miranda
I haven’t had a baby for 11 years and we are due any day with our 3rd. They have so much new stuff out now. I really want to try the snuggle me but it is kinda expensive. I don’t even know what my favorite product is anymore. Lol I can’t wait to see our baby girl any day. I am so excited for your family! 😁
Debbie
Would love to try a baby carrier with my new princess
Brittany Vance
I’m having my fourth baby soon and need to try sleep sacks this time. I’ve never used them before!
Katie mcneely
I’m pregnant with number 6 due in April!
But swaddles I didn’t find till my 5th baby😂 who knew I would miss out so much!
Emily Wuollet
My list is similar to yours! I love my baby swing tho also. For baths I’ve started using wipes as wash clothes. I just have a few set out before with a dot of soap on them and toss out when done. I’m due in July to have baby #15!! In a few months I’ll be getting my list out and checked!
Alyssa Brewster
We have a sound machine with a light that changes. As my daughter got older we used it to remind her when it’s ok to get up (turns green). Love the Hatch!
Carly Knowles
Kyte baby sleep sacks! They are the most amazing breathable fabric
Jordyn Andrews
The sound machine is probably one of the most underrated items. Didn’t have it for my first but I did for my 2nd and 3rd. Best thing ever!!!
jacqui Gerbracht
Baby Bjorn all the way but I’m old so that might be out of
Style now
Meghan rollins
My favorite items after having several children were my Ergo and my double bob

I loved sleep sacks, nightgowns and ZIPPER pajamasand my erobaby baby carrier.
Heather Olson
Absolutely sound machine or play mat!! Both life savers!

Solly baby wraps have been a favorite of mine for every baby! Especially with big siblings, having a wrap/carrier is a way to keep my baby close while engaging with my bigs ❤️

Serena Mckenzie
BaileyThese look amazing! I will definitely look into them if I have grandchildren (hopefully soon!)

The Snuggle me and sound machine are top needs for any momma!

Baby carriers are definitely my favorite baby product! Love that baby wearing allows me to keep baby close and get things done!
Erin Haberle
Anything to wear baby 🙂
Mariah Schilling
Hatch baby monitor & vasaline (put it on everything!)

Sleep sacks are a must for us!!

Ergo pack!!!
Georgia Fulenwider
Onesies… you can never have enough!

Melissa Troyer
Both the Hatch sound machine and actual functional (not only pretty) burp cloths.. love the ones yous posted!!
Charlene
My favorite baby item for my 4 month old is the snuggle me lounger! He’s baby number 4 and I got it with baby number 3. Still don’t know how I managed the first 2 without it:) very close 2nd is my mom cozy breast pumps. Let me tell you…LIFE CHANGING! Was my baby gift to myself with little man and oh how I wish I would have had it with the first 3. So perfect for a busy mom on the go who has to pump:)
Rachel B
Love my snuggle me!! I didn’t have one with my first but really loved it for my second.
Susie B
I am waiting to be a grandmother, but my favorites with my children were side snap onesies and a bouncy seat. I loved seeing your list, as dk much has changed and I’m very intrigued by everyone’s promotion of the sound machine! Will have to get for the grand babies! Blessings to you and your family in the days ahead!
Chana Posen
Ergo baby carrier
Katie Crafton
I’m due in 8 weeks! I haven’t used the kyte sleep sacks but would love to. So many good things!
Jaclyn
Can’t live without a sound machine! Lifesaver for when the girls need to go to bed but there’s people over or something going on downstairs!
Caley
We love Ryan and Rose pacifiers (actually all things R&R) and we love our Kyte sleep sack. Can’t forget the Nose Frieda 🤧
Cathleen
Babyswaddle .sound machine
Christa McDonald
My newborn must have is a Solly wrap!
Chelsea Riggeal
Ooo this is a tough one, but it’s definitely the sound machine for me 🙂
Rebecca McReynolds
I think I’d have to say sound machine, they are wonderful, it is so helpful ! I also love the bouncy seat!!!
Moriah
Kyte sleep sack and a baby wrap has been a game changer for baby #2!!
Caleigh
Sleep sacks were an absolute life saver for us! I should have invested in different sizes, we only had up to 6m.
Amber Zimmerman
Frida snot sucker
Pam Myers
As a foster parent sleepsack, and sound machines are the best
Jane Kenney
I’ve always wanted to try the Hatch sound machine!
B W
Those swaddles❤️
Chrisanne Drangsholt
A big rocking recliner so I could nurse and rock the baby and the older ones could still sit with us and snuggle.
MW
Love the side snap onesies for the newborn days!
Rachel
MyBrestFriend pillow was such a lifesaver for us! Nursing would not have been as successful for sure. I had a fuzzy/cozy cover for winter and a cooler one for summer.
Emilee
The baby bouncer has always been my favorite baby item. So handy and easy to use literally anywhere!
Sarah Beavers
Sound machine!
Whitney Swaney
We love our Hatch sound machine! But having a car car seat camera was a game changer! Best baby registry item for us by far!
Kaylynn
My favorite baby item is a Quinn St stretch swaddle! Baby doesn’t even need clothes, you can swaddle them in just a diaper and skin to skin. They also make the best nursing covers.
Susan
The lounger. I have a new grandbaby due in April that I will be watching and the lounger is such a great item to have.
Julie Ellington
Nose frida and a sound machine!
Sara Grose
Love those side snap onesies! My daughter is having her first. I love all the thing’s available now that I didn’t have. Matching pants are so cute, too!
Alea and Jacob Reiser
I love the hatch sound machine and I even brought it to the hospital! Best decision ever!

Alison s
Copper pearl swaddle blankets are the best! So soft! My boys are 3 and 1 and still use them!
Ashley
The Hatch sound machine is my FAVORITE baby item!
Monique Oosthuysen
I love cloth diapers as it is cheaper than buying nappies again and again but I recently found bamboo disposable nappies and will definitely try them coming September for our new baby. We love natural products like Pure beginnings and Oh Lief. That’s what South Africa has available. Nursing bras is a must and also a nursing cushion.
Shavona Templeton
These are all so good! I’m so thrilled for you!!!
Carisia Ganda
Love all of these! I would say my most favorite is the sound machine! It’s a must! We have the hatch and love it!
Amanda
Zip-a-dee sleep sack. I was in love with the halo with my first but when it didn’t work for my second I went searching. We call it his flying squirrel suit and he sleeps so well! Also a mini electric space heater, we keep our home on the cooler side for best sleep and this is great for keeping baby’s room warmer pre-blanket stage.
Jolene
Definitely a snuggle me lounger!
Ashley Lee
I have never seen those onesies – just found out we are pregnant with our third! Excited to try these next time!
Amy P
Ashley Lee100% a sound machine!

Leeanna cline
Really wanting to get the Donna worn my next baby! Sling carry is my biggest go to as well
Betty DuFrane
Baby camera
Jennifer Baker
We couldn’t have done the first six months without the rock m play. It was a lifesaver. Also, portable sound machine!
Frumie Diskind
Swaddles are my favorite. Babies just go right to sleep when they are all cozy and swaddled up. Didn’t use with my first 3 kids and made a huge difference now with my 4th
Alissa Helm
I’m with you on all of these!! Especially the Kyte baby sleep sacks and Lou Lou and co. Swaddles!
Lydia

A really special keepsake is a personalized baby blanket from My Story Blankets! They are so special 🤍
Stefanie Vasquez
Nested bean zen swaddle and zen one! Lightly weighted so baby feels like you’re still holding them
Amina Dougherty
Baby bouncer and swing were my favorite items when my 9 year old was born!! About to have baby number 2 and those were the first things I bought!
Connie
Pacifiers have been lifesavers for me!! Might do without lots of other things but not those!
Rhen F
Can we just agree the best baby product is the fresh baby smell?? 💖 can’t wait for august to have mine back again ❣️
Daniela Clark
I love the sleep bag. Had it for all of mine It’s practical and cuddly
Kim
Hi guys my favorite is a Safe Sleep Under-Mattress Baby Monitor it tells you if your baby stops breathing when sleeping.
It gave me peace of mind. 💕
Kyleigh B.
The Kyte baby sleep sacks are SO dreamy! I got a SnuggleMe for baby #2 (coming in July), and I’m so excited to try it!
Karina
I want to try a sleepsack, ive heard great things.
Jodi Brown
Sound machine, dock a tot, and a wipe warmer!
Megan T
Swaddles all the way! I used to try to wrap our babies with the little flannel blankets…what a hassle and what a sweaty ordeal 😆
Analysa
Snuggle me lounger is the best!
Heather
The Snuggleme Lounger looks so great!! Wouldn’t have thought of something like that 🙂
Celina
I love all of these too! As a mother of 5…couldn’t agree more.
I always give nursing baskets for mommas at baby showers. All out together in a Cute basket that they can keep by their chair. I make sure to include – trail mixes, dark chocolate, a personalized water bottle, soothie nipple patches, and organic nipple balm.
Lately I’ve included those wash cloths, van mans chapstick and organic hand lotion. It’s just the little things that are needing while your nursing – right?!?! Cant wait to meet little girly girl!
Debra Cashmore
Great post Sarah! My fave baby item NEVER goes out of style and is perfect for all babies! I buy books for our babies before they are even born and read to them whilst still in the womb. All our babies have grown up loving to be ready to and to read! A book baby shower is such a fun idea too, to start off baby’s library.
Heather
The Snuggleme Lounger look so great!! Wouldn’t have thought of something like that for around the house 🙂
Terri Simmons
First grandbaby on the way finally! I’m so intrigued by how many things are the same after 30 years! For example, washclothes and burp pads- gotta have them!
Gracie k
Definitely getting the burp clothes and lounger for my second baby boy due June 23rd and this will be my husbands 6th son!! Maybe 7 is the lucky number for girls!! 🤞
Christina
Love the owlet! It gives me peace of mind. I just recently gave birth to my second child and this time around I know to expect baby noises so the owlet helps me sleep so much better.
Hailey E
Ergobaby wrap! LOVED wearing my son for pretty much everything. He was close to me, yet I still had 2 hands to function with
Ashley Jantz
Lou Lou swaddles and Ryan and Rose paci clips!!
Jill
Love louloi and company!! Want to grab another one of theirs for our next little one due in less than 3 months! Also the Scripture Lullaby CDs our all of our favorites! My kids all love going to sleep to these CDs! I am thankful for God’s Word being hidden in their hearts! It’s amazing how much they can memorize from this music.
Aneesa Clervoix
I can’t live without the Kyte baby sleep sacks & Hatch sound machine .. they are certainly baby must haves.
Joanna Funderburg
💜💜💜💜
alyssa Perkins
My favorite sleepers are Carter’s, especially for the double zippers feature. Also highly recommend the nose Frida and the Frida brand head scrubber.
Svenja
I Love Loulou and Company. I also really like Copper Pearl. If you havent checked out their swaddles and stuff you should!

Emilee Walker
I’ve never had a snuggle me organic but I’ve been interested in them for sure! My favorite baby item that I’ve used with my 5 babies so far (and will with this next one) has been muslin swaddle blankets! I use them as blankets, breastfeeding coverage, and burp cloths. I just love how lightweight and breathable (and soft and cute) they are!
Katie H
I love the hatch sound machine, swaddles and kyte sleep sack for baby!
Kelli Garvin
I think you picked great practical stuff! Thank you for sharing!
Chellsey Rogers
My all time FAVORITE baby item is the nuna pipa infant seat! Really saved me for the first 5 months, I had a c section so it was nice that i could carry it being as it was so light! I thought it would be extremely expensive but it was around $250 and we got our moneys worth!
Karen
Portable sound machine for the stroller or car rides. Finally got one with baby #3. Why didn’t I get one sooner?!?
Lorena Batista
We love Ryan and Rose pacis! Kyte Baby Sleep sacks is number one here for sleep routine.
Chantel Federico
Cotton muslin baby quilts!! They’re my FAVE and the 3/4 of my kids who have had them, are glued to their blankies. It’s so sweet. And definitely get 2 to rotate in case they become necessity.
Tara N
Ahhh so many must haves! I’m going to comment the baby nose frida!! My number one pick for baby shower gifts!
Andrea Humphreys
My nursing pillow! I used it for my 3 babies and it helped my back and neck, posture and c-s recovery for my 3rd! Worth the splurge on a high quality pillow!
Tiffany Hannus
Love the LouLou swaddles, snuggle me and Kyte sleep sakes!! All are a must have with new babies!! I am also a huge fan of the Saranoni mini plush it’s my daughters favorite snuggle blanket!

Ryan and rose pacifiers and snuggle me
Lesley Motsinger
Favorite most used baby item… definitely a sound machine!!
Kristi Morris
Baby #5 on the way and I finally ordered from Ryan and Rose and cannot wait!! Yay!
Amy
The sleep sack looks so comfy! We just had our last baby girl on February 17th and this is something I would definitely like to try.
Victoria Wood
My top baby item would be between a sound machine and a baby carrier! Sound machine is a game changer though for peaceful sleeps!!
Erin
Dreamland weighted sleep sack!!! I feel like every time I swaddle and zip my little girl in it she instantly seems to calmed and has been sleeping 6-10 hours stents since 8ish weeks old!!!
I also LOVE the Ninni Co pacifier! It is great for babies who need any help with suck training, it very much so mimics the same motion of nursing in order to keep the pacifier in their mouth!
LOVe Mebie Baby blankets and burp cloths 💞
Marianne
Having my fifth baby in June however I got rid of many things after my last and need to start over on some things. I think my favorite essential is zipper footie sleepers and burp cloths for sure!
Chelsea
Can’t do without the Hatch sound machine or a baby lounger !!
Megan
Great list! A sound machine is an absolute must for us! With my twins sharing a room it has really helped them sleep better, even now as toddlers. Sadly ours is starting to go, I’ll have to look into the Hatch!
Melissa Witt
The snuggle me has to be my top item!!!
Miranda
We recently bought the Evenflo Pivot Explor wagon with the top seat. FAVORITE purchase yet. Seats 3 kids, is light enough that I can unload it easily, and it fits in the trunk of my Odyssey with room to spare.
Marangely
Ahh! Its hard to pick what baby item I loved. I did love the diaper bags I’ve had, I changed only twice with my 3rd baby. But I will my fave Abby item would the Ryan and Rose pacifiers and their cute clips. I love their pacifiers because it comes in different stages for the baby. Now I want another one and order from them again, hehe!
Meagan
I love the Kyte sleepsacks!!
Kaitlyn A
Definitely the Solly baby wrap or hatch baby rest 💕
Samantha Stitt
The hatch is a necessity! My other absolute favorite item is the haakaa, it is a game changer with nursing!
Sarah S
The snuggle me lounger! Finally got one with baby #3 and it was amazing. Also the H&M side snap onesies are a must have for newborns! Great list
Sarah
The bouncer seat is always something I get my friends. So easy to move anywhere and put baby. 💗💗
Amanda Haugen
We missed a sound machine with the first one, definitely will not be missing it this time around!
Melissa Powell
Love the play mat I got the same one with my oldest and used with all three and still holding onto it in case we have anymore. I would add a Haaka it was my favorite new thing after my second and it’s so helpful especially to catch that extra milk in those early weeks. ❤️❤️🍼
Alisha
Yess I love our hatch sound. My 6 year old still uses the dryer setting every night so going to need another one! Thank you for the refresher/ideas!
Ashley Riley
My favorite baby item is the sleep sacks. Helps the babies feel snug. Always helped my boys sleep better.
Stephany
Baby must have for me, dock a tot & Ryan and rose products for sure! 😊
Abi
Expecting baby number 1 in August. Unsure of a favorite item(s)!!
Lynsey
Sound machines are the best! Portable ones even better. My newest is three months today and already loves to hear soft music or nature sounds.
Lynn barndt
I wish I had the funds for so many fun baby items! 🙂 I was giving two loulouandcompany swaddles and I agree they are some of my favorite blankets!! And Ryan and Rose pacifiers are the best! Watch for their sales to stock up!
Katie
My favorite is our Ubi diaper can. Doesn’t need special bags, but does such a good job holding the smell inside so I don’t have to make so many trips to the outside trash!
Tanya
Wow! Very nice list. Expecting my ninth baby, and would have to say H&M onesies are great!
Nikki S
We love the R&R pacifiers!! Currently pregnant with our rainbow baby & seriously considering the lounger! That seems like a great item!!
Thanks so much for sharing. Can’t wait to hear the good news that baby girl is here!
Micaiah
Ergo and sleep sacks are definitely some of my favorite baby items! (Though my snuggle me has got so much good use with most of my kids.. the newest babe likes to sleep on his stomach so he outgrew it faster than the others!)
Angelita herrera
Definitely can’t go without the baby carrier! 🤍🙏
Whitney
We loved our snuggle me! Baby girl basically lived in it when she was tiny! Loved having a save place to set her down. I had a friend in need who just had a baby so i gifted mine to her and would love another for my next baby💓
Chris
Sound machines are a lifesaver
Wendy
Baby lounger of mamaroo bouncer/swing
Ashley Shoemaker
We just finally got a Kyte baby sleep sack and love it! I can’t get over how soft it is, so snuggly.
Christa Olvera
Sleep sacks are definitely a must. One thing I forget about and some may think it’s extra but was so very helpful was a baby wipe warmer
Stephanie H.
Would love love love the Hatch Sound. We are transitioning baby girl to her own nursery next week and I will try anything to make it as seamless as possible! This mama needs some sleep, lol.
Jocelyn
Portable sound machine to attach to car seat!
And snuggle me lounger!

Sam bauer
My favorite baby item has been the mamaroo and Elvie breast pump
Chanelle Corley
I definitely want a sound machine or a sleep sack, great read for must haves!
Lan
We love Ryan and rose pacifiers too, discovered it with our 3rd baby. Have a new pack ready for our 4th (she is still not ready to come yet, although I’m 41 weeks already).
Fern Day
I like that nursing pillow!!
Shana Lapp
You really need a snot sucker:) the nose Frieda brand works fine, but I’m sure there’s others too!
Emy Ray
We have the same due date and I’m also have an exclamation point girl! (Although I only have three boys). Any day now!
Marina
I absolutely love the Toby Fairy Swaddle blankets from Zulily! So stretchy and soft, and decent in size too! One of my favorite products after 6 kids 🙂
Carlyn Hurtado
SnuggleMe Lounger!! I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and It’s one of my top wish list items for my sweet baby.
Natania Hill
We have a bouncer just like that and has come in handy with my fourth baby! It’s definitely not the cutest thing I own but she loves it!!
Caroline Racky
First grandbaby comming soon. It helps to have seasoned moms opinions.
Illona
Lots of your favorite are mine too! I will have to try your recommendations for a nursing pillow for our next baby. I just couldn’t find a good one this time around.
Lindsay Babaeian
Love the muslin cloths!
Eva
Woolino sleep sacks! 3 years of using them for my twins, and i just got a couple more for new baby. Nothing compares.
Carolina
Swaddle, baby wrap and diaper bag from skip hop
Esther Froese
Must have is a sound machine
Lesya Pshenychnyi
Snuggle me lounger
Tiffany
Snuggle me lounger and sound machine are needs! My baby loved his lounger when he got in it, he just turned 1 on Tuesday!
Nicole
Definitely the sound machine!
Karen Engstrom
Johnnie Jump Up
Is that even what it’s still called? Did I just date myself?
Cari Murphy
I love my bum brush and my frieda baby tool (booger grabber!). Two small but useful baby products!
Andrea P
All great suggestions. I love the snuggleme as well! I used it with my first two and I’m due in a week and plan to use it again. Good luck with everything!
Naomi G
I would say the bouncer was my favorite. So portable and easy and with my non stop boys, they loved to literally bounce in them!
Norah Funk
Amen to the stretchy swaddles! Not only does the baby stay snug, they feel so absolutely adorably soft and squishy all wrapped up!
Also Kyte Baby sleep sacks are right up there on the list of must-haves!
I would say R&R pacifiers were must-haves as well, except my son has refused any kind of pacifier (I think I tried 7 or 8 different kinds!) and we’re still surviving!
Another essential for me is a co-sleeper bassinet. I have a BabyBay and LOVE it for keeping a baby right at arms reach but out of my sleeps pace!
Emily
Didn’t think to use a sound machine until our 3rd daughter but they are so worth it!
Tabbitha
Snuggleme lounger
Amy Aldridge
We love love love our Hatch machine! We also love the Ollie swaddle. Such a game changer!
Alannah Newcomer
I am expecting my first baby in April! I don’t have any must haves of my own yet, but I was excited to see your list and see a few items I was planning on using!
Elizabeth Flick
LOVE Kyte baby sleep sacks!! Have tried so many and they are by far our fave 🤍
Jennifer luciano
Oh gosh my fav items are the sound machine, the Ryan and rose pacifiers!! With my last little guy I got every color , I absolutely could not live with out burp cloths!! I can stay here all day lol I basically used everything on your list 🤣🤣🤣
Elizabeth
Love all the baby items! Sound machine & sleep sacks are my favorites. Congratulations on your growing family ❤️
Bella Gehrett
Just found out that I’m pregnant for the first time and I’m really wanting to get a snuggle me lounger. I’ve heard great things about it! Can’t wait for October to be here! That’s when I’m due!
Nakieva Crum
Love all essentials basics. Boppy, swaddles, burp cloths/receiving blanket
Marla
I bring a baby file, onesies, socks, and hat to the hospital. My favorite items at home are bouncy chair, Boppy, and co-sleeper.
Mariah Garcia
Definitely need to look into those burp clothes! My little guy is definitely putting the traditional ones I have to the test 😅
Raeganne
This is so helpful 🫶
Patricia
Very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Ana
Definitely swaddles but my kids love their baby swing too.
Heather Clementi
As a mama who’s tried nursing twice and was unable, the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced has been a life saver with two under two.
Shelbi S.
The Snuggle Me is a fave here! We love it as a safe place to lay baby when everyone is in the livingroom. And sound machines are amazing!
Sheila Bailey
I just love the one piece sleeper suits. So easy for changing & cute & cozy!
Sable Alongi
The hatch sound machine is a fav in our house!
Erin C
We can’t survive without our sound machines! Love white noise! Pregnant with baby 5 and you’d think “we have it all” but I’m eyeing your list making mental notes of what we should get for our final round!
Beth Chernick
Sound machine for sure!
Jenna Ericson
My favorites are either the kyte baby sleep sacks or the hatch sound machine. My baby sleeps in our room and once I move him I’m going to miss having a sound machine in my room.
Ashleigh
My first loved the bouncer! Hopefully my second will too!!!
Jenna
Sound machines and nursing pillows were by far my faves. Most of my kids still sleep with sound machine or night lights. The bathtub you chose is also my favorite! I’ve used it for all my babies as well.
Joy
Snuggle me! I’m the grandma and I even have my own at my house for the little ones who come to vis!
Angela K
As a first time mom, the My Brest Friend pillow has been an amazing help to me while figuring out nursing!
Nikki
Totally agree with these! I’m due in a couple weeks with #4 and I would also say my favourite is my solly baby wrap!
❤️🥰
Kaitlyn High
Scripture lullabies 100%! Also love my Baby Delight bedside bassinet and zipadee zip sleep sacks when baby graduates from swaddle!
Mikaela Harbach
I love the stretchy baby swaddles and anything from Kyte! My favorite brand for baby stuff!
Desiree Dorsey
I love kyte baby sleep sack. I have one since 4 years! Just one. I love it, my youngest ( 11 months old) is in it now. I wish I had more!
Tracey Hintze
Love my baby bjorn mini! This is baby #2 and this has been super comfy to wear baby and get things done around the house or enjoy walks in the neighborhood! Also love the fisher price piano play gym for both my kids!! Congrats on your baby girl 💕
Caitlin Eden
Ohhh the snuggle me! I need to try it for this babe for sure
Alexandra
Sleep sacks and the front pack are live savers!
Haley Baldwin
We love sleep sacks but have never tried ones like Kyte Baby!
Sandra Buckallew
If I had another baby I would get a lot of things they didn’t have before. Like a formula machine that stores the formula, and makes a bottle for you. I used formula longer than I breastfed. I wouldn’t let my child use Ryan and rose pacifiers. Especially if I was breastfeeding. I’ve read articles from lactation consultants that say their pacifiers aren’t anywhere near close to what breasts feel like. So if you use their pacifiers while breastfeeding it could confuse the baby.
Teresa Stoltz
The soother! It calmed our first down sooo quickly it was magic. Just waiting on baby girl’s arrive now too!
Whitney Choate
Hatch Sound Machine is a must! Game changer!!
Carla
Whitney ChoateI love swaddles and would love to try the stretch ones this pregnancy! Pregnant with #5…4 boys right now! And I would love to try the snuggleme lounger for this baby, sounds wonderful!
Sylwia Gorczyca
I love love love the hatch sound machine!!
Tammie Hammett
Side snap onesies are amazing and the bouncer is great. My son could really get some air in his. ♥️
Nicole
Love my “feeding pillow” as our 2 year old calls it! Have one in the living room and our room right now for the new baby 💙
Kat
Two way zippered pajamas are life changing. They weren’t around for my first two but that’s all my 3rd wore!
Amy Wright
After 6 kids, I would say I have used the boppy every single time
Tania jesus
Love you picks! Is I ever have another child I am so going o to try the sound machine !
Charity
My favorite baby item is the blanket my Mom crochets for each baby! She even makes little ones for them to carry around. ❤️
Hayley
Love these favorites- sleep sacks are amazing.
Maria Maggenaki
Sound machine my love…definitely!
Alodie
Kyte baby sleepers are a favorite of ours!
Natalie
The bouncer for sure and the bath tub, pregnant with baby number 1 and constantly re making lists of things to get. 9 weeks feels so close and so far
Natalie P.
I absolutely love the onsies. I love them even when the babies are nearing 2 and not yet potty trained.Love not dealing with exploded or hanging diapers.Also one thing that I probably couldn’t go without is a swing that rocks side to side or some of my kids loved the mamaroo but had to have both they were my extra hands when needed to place her down.
Victoria Franco
Definitely agree with sound machine as an essential! But what you don’t have one your list are the zipper onsies…they are the BEST from zipster, but anything with a zipper for newborns and toddlers who move around a lot…super easy and faster than the buttons. Zipster also has matching pajamas for babies and toddlers AND parents 🙂
Kathleen Worthen
Puppy pee pads! 😂 I know it sounds crazy but for diaper changes, they are a must have, especially for the public diaper changes. I buy the puppy ones because they are way cheaper than the people ones. They are big and can cover the changing area then you toss the whole thing when done.
Rachael Rhame
Love a sound machine! I even use one now myself 🤦🏻♀️ and there are never enough burb cloths! Love you and your sharing your family, life and faith with all of us. Thank you and God bless you and keep you safe as you move towards delivery of your sweet baby girl 💝
McKenzie Hyde
Snuggle me loungern
Jackie
Couldn’t live without the hatch sound machine and a play mat! It’s great that the hatch grows with them and you can use it to help set a schedule as they grow up 🙂
Lynn Donley
The Luna Lullaby …. It looks wonderful and a much needed baby item!
Jacki Lambert
Swaddles that velcro to get them nice and snug! Sleep sacks to keep them warm without blankets in the winter months. A bounce and our swing. With my first I had a for swing that could be locked to also be used as a bouncer and it worked great in a small home. With my second, we had put on an addition and double the sized of the house, I ended up buying a bounce within the first month so it was much easier to move room to room.
Christy
A nursing pillow is the top item I can’t live without and good muslin nursing blankets!
Joanna L Schlabach
Nana here- I see the sound machine and swaddles as such a wonderful way to put my grandbabies to sleep. I wish I would have had them for my own babies!
Amy Patterson
First time expecting mom here so I have much less first hand knowledge than Sarah, but so far the baby item we’ve purchased that I’m most excited about is our Uppababy Cruz stroller! I tortured my poor husband in the stroller aisle at buy buy baby for over an hour “testing” out the strollers and the uppababy was far superior to all the rest. Can’t wait for us to start using it in a few short weeks with our new baby girl!
Katherine S
H&M nursing tanks!
Lauren
Snuggle me lounger or bouncer. Due with baby boy in 8 weeks! 🙂
Joanne MacEachern
1000000% would have to say, a mobile for the crib…..it entertained for relaxing, the music calmed them if fussing and it also was a signal if the room was dark that it was bedtime
Debbie Shank
My daughter loves a good nursing pillow
Maria
My baby is real chunky so the H&M onesies were too tight for him, but I Loove the sleep sacks. He has just outgrown the one we have 🙂
Marysia K
Sleep sacks!!
Krista Sterling
Thanks so much for this list! As a first time mom expecting this summer, it’s so helpful to know what experienced moms feel are most beneficial to have.
Trin
I am a huge lover of my nursing pillow too! I went without for the first Month or two with our oldest and I would never go without after that! It helped me so much with a sore back neck shoulders!
Billy-Lynn Clowe
I loved my wipe warmer!
Meredith Mueller
We loved the sound machine and the love to dream swaddles and the my breast friend nursing pillow!
Adrienne
The lounger is great for us!!! It’s nice to be able to set them down in a soft space while I’m tidying up or with our older one!
Hillary
As a foster Mom who loves on some special foster babies, my all time favorite baby item is the snuggle me lounger.
Elizabeth
Oh I loved sleep sacks for our daughter! Definitely need to get some before baby boy arrives!
Fal B.
Hands down kyte sleep sack
Polly S
100% must have is a white noise/ sound machine!!!
Lauren Pyper
Need to try Kyte baby swaddles for my new girl!
Christina Campbell
The hatch and a fan are my go to for sleep. Sleep sack or the Merlin ones to are hood depending on what baby likes best.
Allison
The doona!!! Such a lifesaver!!!
Taylor
Love this! Onesies are a must for me, as well as either a bouncer or swing (both kids have preferred one or the other). I can’t wait to find out what our third is like in a few months!
Jessica Knisley
I loved swaddle blankets, bouncer and sound machine for all five of mine.
Melanie K
I love stretchy swaddles too! I just had my daughter on Monday. She’s in the NICU now but I’ll be swaddling her at home soon!
Lauren
Nursing cover that also becomes a car seat cover or blanket or anything in between!
Krissy Schultz
Hatch sound machine! Baby boy number 3 is due in June and definitely will be purchasing another one!
Heather-Joy Batten
These top picks really resonate with me! There is so much noise and clutter when it comes to “baby stuff” and it pays to cut out the “fluff” and cling tightly to the necessities and basically the stuff that just makes life easier! Thanks for sharing these suggestions … with Baby no. 5 on the way … I share MANY of your likes and loves! How do I pick a fave?! R&R pacifiers have been a tried and true staple for us … but isn’t a functional and reliable baby bathtub that grows with them just a little slice of luxury?! 😆💓 Thinking of you guys and praying for a safe and happy arrival of Baby Girl!
Sarah Bosch
My solly baby wrap was my favorite after I had my second kid! Needed something to allow me to have my hands to help the toddler while keeping baby snuggled up and close
Catherine
I love my simple bouncer. I don’t even remember the brand, but it’s so convenient to have a safe place for baby early on when you need to cook dinner, etc. Having my fourth boy in the next week or two! I love those H&M onesies. What is it about the crossover that is so cute??
Kayela
We love love love our Kyte sleep things! They last so long. I ordered a couple new things for this babe during their summer sale and plan on grabbing a few more. I’m due the 17th but having this babe next Friday (the 10th!!).
Jaimie denney
Sound machine! All of my kids use them and even my husband and I use one every night. They are life saving!
Morgan
I would love to try out the hatch! We have a much cheaper one and don’t think the quality is great and usually just rely on a fan
Leanne Leason
Burp cloth!! I use the white cloth diapers. They are super absorbent and soft.
Danielle H.
The electric nose frida!
Melissa Malinowski
Great items listed! My most used were bathtub, swaddles, sound machine, burp cloths!
Stephanie Sanaga
Sound machine for sure! Both my girls still sleep with theirs (4.5 and 2.5 years old). Even I can’t fall asleep with my own after using them with babies in the room!
Miriam
Love to dream sleep sacks! Absolute game changer for babies who like to sleep with their arms up!
Courtney Robbins
Sleep sacks are by far my favorite baby item! I love the Halo swaddle ones in the beginning then move to the regular!
Lindsey Rawson
My favorite is the hatch machine! Have to have ours set to 36 every night for our girl ❤️
Samantha
The snuggle me lounger! I didn’t have it for my first two kids and it was a dream for my third.
Teresa Gregor
Ergo baby carrier! Funny thing is, we have 12 children and I never really got the hang of a baby carrier until now…. I’ve been using it with our granddaughter and it’s awesome!
Ariel
Kyte baby sleep sacks and he hatch sound machine are must haves!!!
Trisha
Muslin blankets
Meg
Best baby item: Target Cloud 9 footie pajamas. My babies love in those til they can walk.
Natosha Clark
Definitely sleep sacks and sound machines! I got so use to sleeping with rain sound from my 3rd and still use it now that she’s in her own room.
Kassidy Spencer
Hatch sound machine or baby lounger are my must haves!
Pam
Receiving blankets
Candice
One of my favorite baby items was muslin swaddle blankets…the perfect weight and thickness and could be used in so many ways!
Miriam Rockhill
I look at all the new things they have come out with for when you have a baby and I wish they had them when I had my first baby at 19 which was almost 21yrs ago. I don’t need anything but my sister fosters and adopts and she just brought her 7th baby into her home a little girl and would love any of these things! ❤️
Allie
About to have our first baby and we have so many of these items on our registry or have already been gifted them! So excited!!
Maggie Phillips
I’ve never had a snuggle me lounger and go back and forth on getting one. Maybe I will this go around—pregnant with baby number 5. My favorite baby product is a baby carrier so I can get things done around the house, while still snuggling my little one.
Janelle Young
I am the grandma (Myme) is what my granddaughter decided to call me all on her own. She is 2 and we have another little girl on the way! 💕 the sound machine has been a life saver for them! 😍

Any baby wear item is a must! Especially if you have other kids or if your baby loves and wants to be held all the time.

We love our sound machine and the snuggle me for those first few weeks.

Snuggle me lounger. I’ve never used on with my babies. I’d love to use it for my next foster love.

Joanne Paauw
I love the swaddles. Only I make my own so they are a bit bigger and you can cover up when nursing.

Haven Stallings
My favorite baby item is definitely our hatch. It’s so useful to work it from my phone. But also super portable so I can easily take it to my parents when the kids sleep over, or on vacations.

So many favorites in this list, but top two are probably the hatch and the snuggle me! We used the snuggle me so much and our baby loved it. We still have the hatch and use it every night!
Tatiana Buhler
Definitely wanting to try the snuggle me this time around. It’s such a gamechanger having a second baby! Anything to ease the transition. Is what I need!
Sonya Jones
Swaddles!!! Number 1 for me
Kristy Seigman
I could not have survived without a bouncer. I used that for all 3 of my girls and it was a lifesaver.
Lisa O
Portable sound machine! We start using it in the hospital so we can sleep and then I take it everywhere. .the nose Frida too! My 4 mo has her first virus and e-bike she hates it, it’s quick and easy for me plus easy to clean. I’ve used one with all 3 of my kiddos
Emily Janning.
My favorite baby item is the hooka! It helped me so much!

I love my hatch sound machine! Now I want to try your Nursing pillow 😍

Anneleise
Baby bjorn bouncer 👏🏻
renae Lemmens
Baby Breeza
Robyn Miller
We love our Hatch Baby sound machine and basically anything from Ryan & Rose too!
Rebecca Weiland
Pacifiers and sound machines were life savers for us. Helped with sleep training, gave comfort to the kids and we live in a small apartment so drowning out noise is always a win! We are expecting our 3rd late summer too!
Caeolyn
I’m going to have to try those onesies with the side buttons! They look so cute & much easier to slip on.
Jordan S
I love the Love to Dream swaddles! They zip both ways and all baby to have arms up. No fussing with velcro or wrapping or anything. They’re awesome
Raquel Bodner
Hatch sound machine by far is our most used item! But also would say our miku monitor and Newton mattress!!
Nicole Clore
The nursing pillow is a must have those first couple of months! And a sound machine, especially when you have a house full of rowdy brothers 🙂
Angelica K
I don’t have kids of my own yet but I have been a nanny for 15 plus years and have done a foster type program recently where we had an infant.
He did so well with swaddles. Husband and I loved seeing how happy he was swaddled up! So definitely would have to be swaddles
Amanda
My favorite is the hatch! I got it for my boys when they were a little older. I’m excited to try it for baby girl when she comes this summer. I think it will make a wonderful not so bright nightlight and so useful to have it in the same thing as the sound machine!
Brooke Hinkle
By far one of my favorite baby products that I bought with my son and have continued to use with my daughter and the new one on the way is the Halo sleep sack. We have what we call Houdini babies. No matter what swaddle we put them in they always seemed to get their arms out as a newborn and it made for long nights. The Halo worked wonders in being able to keep them comfortable and keeping their arms swaddled in.
Megan
Yes to all the sleep sacks!
Karen Boone
Definitely for me, my favorite must have is a Haakaa. As an over producer of milk, it is a MUST! I’ve got 2 and used them with both kids so far.
Lauren St Arnaud
Swaddles! Especially for the first few months of life. I don’t think I would have survived the nights with out them. Who ever came up with those… Lord, bless them!
Julie Moberly
Expecting our baby girl in May so don’t have a favorite yet, but heard snuggle me organic is the best thing!
Courtney Kitchen
First of all, I love that the items you’ve suggested are super resonance in price! I’m expecting twins this summer, babies number 3&4 for me, so I need a few more things! My favorite item is the snuggle me organic! I just bought another so I have two. They are a game changer. Most practical needed item is definitely a bouncy seat. The less frill, and money it cost, the more the babies like the seat! 😂♥️
Michelle Collins
The Halo sound machine has been amazing with my twins! As a twin mom there are several baby favorites that are unique to having two a time but the sound machine works for everyone. Also can never go wrong with Ryan and Rose pacifier clips and Pacifiers.
Bailee R
My favorite baby item was for sure the lounger! It was a game changer for us!
Genevieve Winn
I give the same baby gift to every new mom. They get a sound machine, a Wubbanub paci picked special for that baby, Frida Windi gas’s relievers, gas drops, and a bottle of wine.
Marissa Steidle
My favorite was the snuggle me lounger!! We had one for our first but then lost it when our house flooded 😅 definitely going to be repurchasing for our second (I’m 16 weeks today!!!)
Sonya Van Daalen

Sound machine
Elena Brooks

The Hatch, Kyte Baby sleep sack, and Little Sleepies are definitely our faves!

Meghan
We love the sound machine!!
Cassie Siple
A sound machine is a must when you have older kids at home playing while the baby is trying to sleep!
Casi Stuart
I didn’t have a snuggleme lounger, but I plan in trying one with the next baby!
Alexandra Wilcox
Sound machine is absolutely necessary
Alyssa Goad
Definitely sound machine and sleep sacks!! Still use both with my toddler. However, I bought a snuggle me when you posted about the sale recently. I’m having twins this time so double everything ❤️
Stacy
It will be 4 years between my children when our second comes in the fall. Thank you so much for this! I feel like my first was so long ago! it’s awesome to have lists like this from experienced moms to help get the preparing juices flowing. The h&m onesies are a definite addition to my list. My first didn’t take a pacifier, but I’m still going to try Ryan and rose this time around. SnuggleMe is a definite addition as well. I agree with you about the pull down toys (ours was a cow who we affectionately names “crazy cow”) and the bouncer (a removable toy bar makes it great from start of use and as they get older).
Excited for you and your family!!
Tanya
Dr. Brown bottles! Our son was just about five weeks early. And he had some struggle feeding at first. These were such a blessing!
https://www.drbrownsbaby.com/product/dr-browns-natural-flow-anti-colic-options-plus-baby-bottles-newborn-feeding-set/
Kenzie Schissel
Sound machine! I use one myself now 😂

Liz H
Love the look of that nursing pillow. Definitely wish I’d seen something like this sooner! All your top baby picks are great choices.
Ally
Our snuggle me lounger was something I wish I had for my first two! Loooved it for my third.
Ashley S
We’ve never had a sound machine or sleep sacks. Favorites for us: Haaka pump that just sits in bra – no more wasting milk or filling your shirt with it, burp cloths (we keep calling them drop cloths haha maybe it’s due to having a carpenter husband), a carrier – we’ve traveled internationally with each baby so it’s necessary, nursing pillow – don’t need to be building biceps while feeding baby.
So excited to “meet” your newest little miracle. Speaking joy and peace over your labor and delivery, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Linnea
Definitely a baby carrier. With current baby I’ve been loving the Solli baby wrap and Tula ring sling.
Susanna Lapp
I’m having my first this MONTH!!! Can’t believe the time is so soon!!! I wasn’t going to get a nursing pillow but now you’ve got we thinking maybe I should!!! Thanks for sharing theses links with us! Hope your final weeks go well! 💕
Summer
Love these ideas!
Heather
I,000% LouLou swaddles!! They’re SO stretchy and breathable! We were gifted some when we welcomed our twin boys and used them daily!
Mary Gibson
Sleep sacks are at my top too! We love the hatch sound machines. We’re about to play musical rooms and purchasing another is on our to do list before that happens.
So many good choices on your list, as a mom to four.
Jeanne Eberly
Definitely a sound machine!!
Brittany Smith
My must haves three kids in are a sound machine and a battery powered nasal aspirator! Game changer!!

Snuggle Me & a sound machine all the way!!
Andra Bower
I’m about to be a new mom but have worked in the Nicu for years and LOVE the stretch swaddles. Definitely high on my wish list for baby!
Pamela Hale
Swaddles and sound machine!!
Kathryn Blair
Absolute favorite baby item is a wrap or carrier (moby wrap or lillebaby). Baby wearing with age gaps is a life saver! And who wouldn’t like the bonding ❤️
Cassie Dorsey
I LOVED the boppy lounger. I know it’s since been recalled but it was so helpful!!!
Cassie Dorsey
Cassie DorseyOoh I’ve never tried the battery powered nasal aspirator! I would love to try that with the next baby!
Melita Haapala
The kyte sleep sack is awesome! Onsies long sleeve and short sleeve are a necessity! And I got to try to the snuggle lounger with my baby a few weeks ago and she loved it!
Grace
I love the Snuggle Me, it was a life saver in the first few months when my baby only wanted to nap in our arms. I could lay him in it next to me and he would stay asleep.
We were also given a bouncer seat and I was surprised at how much we used it. He loved it so he could sit up and see, especially as we ate. He also would poop every time he was in it 😆 so we knew to give him a few min in it before we left the house so there wouldn’t be a mess in the car!
Madison Fiechter
Kyte Baby Sleep sack! My sister in law uses them and loves them! I would love to try one!
Samantha Grant
My favorite is our Baby Tula for sure. We still use our toddler carrier for our two year old twins!
Sara Long
Love the kyte baby sleep sacks!! Such a game changer for my baby!
Sara Condon
This is the pro list! I might say the nursing pillow is my favorite because we used it way beyond the nursing years. Congratulations ♥️
Kaitlyn
We have a very simple area set up with a mirror on the floor and a blanket for baby to lay on. We have mobiles we hang up beginning with a black and white one. We also have some black and white images we prop up for a little change of things to look at. It’s very simple and inexpensive and my babies so far love being able to move and look at things freely. I also love just the simplicity of laying baby on a blanket under a tree-natures built in mobile. It’s so peaceful!
Samantha Mock
Hatch rest+ sound machine. Our toddler loves it! He uses it every night and it helps that I can control it from my phone if need be. I will be getting one for my 3 month old once she is in her own room( she room shares with us for now)
Justin Davis
Love spray diaper cream. No mess!
Katherine McGraw
Love that baby bathtub too! We’ve used it for all our our boys, using it on baby boy #4 now! It’s an oldie but a goodie!
Danae Talsma
I love a good burp cloth! Some of my favorites have been homemade gifts from family.
Katie P.
Baby carriers and pacifiers! Used Ryan and Rose with my youngest and she is addicted! Love the different styles and options they offer!
Christine
I discovered the Kyte baby sleep sacks way too late with my first daughter, but now that I’m pregnant with baby girl #2, I will be trying to snag more! Those plus the noise machine have to be my fave baby products from this list.

A sound machine by far is a lifesaver. My top favorite hands down. Can’t wait to see baby girl.
Cara English
I’ve heard the sleep hatch sound machine is amazing! It’s on our list for our first baby due in July!
Annalise
My favourite baby item has probably been the playpen that my in-laws gave us! It’s a wooden box I guess you could say with rails. It’s a safe place for baby to play in and for mom to be able to do a few things without the worry of how baby is! My 2 year old still loves it and plays in it every day, especially in the mornings when mom isn’t feeling so great due to pregnancy!
Tina
I loved the solly baby wrap for my newborn
Leah Deaton
I couldn’t do without my baby wrap, for baby wearing. 💙
Miranda Piepenburg
Obsessed with ALL things kyte baby! Everything is so soft and comes in the most adorable patterns!
Amanda Haywood
My favorite baby item right now is the Moby wrap carrier. But I would love to try a sleep sack!
Sarah Secker
MUST HAVE a good quality sound machine and sleep sack/swaddle! Sleep is crucial for me (and baby of course). But I’m a better mama if baby is sleep well, and those two products are the best sleep aides out there!

Megan Kellogg
Love these especially the snuggle me!!
McCall Ramberg
SnuggleMe hands down! My babes loved it 🙂 and the sound machine
Katie Payne
Yes! The side snap onesies are a MUST during the first 6 months in my opinion! I also love copper pearl swaddle blankets, they’re super stretchy and very comforting when swaddling a NB! Also, Dr. Brown glass bottles!

Kd
Love the H&M onesies!
Melissa Trask
I didn’t discover Kyte Baby until my 2nd baby was about 3 months old but omg what a game changer it has been using their sleep sacks! I’m now pregnant with baby #3 due at the end of July and can’t wait to stock up on all the tiny sizes from Kyte Baby!
Emily Filibert
Sleep sacks! The Kyte ones are such amazing fabric and quality too! I am pregnant with our 3rd baby! Congratulations on baby girl arriving so soon! ☺️

Such great Post, especially for an expecting first time mom like me. 🙂
Meagan Arca
My favorite baby item is dock a tot. My son is 3 months old and since day 1, he will not sleep anywhere else but in bed beside me. So I put him in this so that he’s still beside me but secured a little more so he can’t roll around. Also makes it so easy when I breastfeed him to have him in this in our bed, so I’m not having to totally wake up to go and grab him from a crib or bassinet.
Ann Vollman
My ergo baby carrier for sure!!! But I also think the cuddlers look amazing, I’ve never coslept because I just lay there awake, but a safe option for snuggles is amazing!
Denise Gula
Great ideas! As a La La (grandma)) I have a room just for the kids. We have a sound machine for sleeping, lots of books and toys and extra clothes for sleepovers. That way mom and dad do not have to bring anything when they bring the little ones over.
Jeana stromer
Couldn’t survive without sound machine!
JoAnna S
The bathtub! Loved using it to bathe the kids and have in the shower with me for them as they got a bit older. We left ours when we moved out of state.
Brooke
We love our Hatch sound machine! An essential!
Brionna Kelley
For my twins, my twin nursing pillow has been my favorite and most used! For all of my babies I have loved sleep sacks, sound machine, and my baby wraps to wear them around.
Anna R.
Love the Hatch and Snuggleme Organic!! Can’t wait to see your new little one all snuggled up – she’s already so beautiful! 🥰💕
Von
A sound machine is a game changer for baby and for mama for sure ❣
Kaylee Nichol
Definitely sleep sacks are my favourite when my son was a newborn!! And the playmats are amazing!!
Lacee C
Love Ryan and Rose!!! And we love stretchy swaddles too! I have most on the list… we use our music system for our “sound machine” though – we have a Sonia speaker in every room. The only one I haven’t tried yet is a lounger!

Solly baby wrap! My favorite for those early days
Crissy
Such good tips! 💕💕
Angelle Boyd
Along with a lot of the items you mentioned, the Haaka toothbrush has been soooo helpful now that baby girl can hold things & is teething. It’ll be my new gift to give to new mamas!

Sound machine #1
This mama needs a new one for my youngest!
Helps so much at naptime and bedtime!
Jen
We have sound machines all over our house! Definitely in my top 5 baby items!
Lori
I love the Hidden in my Heart lullabies!
As a former Children’s Pastor I believe hiding Gods Word in our hearts. This is an easy yet practical way to start! Playing it during pregnancy is a great way to start😍
Crissy
I loved the breastfriend pillow last time and bought a new one for this new bub coming. I like that it snaps and has a little pocket that I can put vitamin d drops or water or whatever in!
Kristen Wiggins
Onesies!! Down in Georgie here, they are a must have with this humid heat!
Hailey
Baby tub!

Jessica
My favorite baby items are my sound machines and my electric nose sucker. I have a portable sound machine that I also take with me when we go places. if baby is still sleeping, I can set it in their car seat to help Keep them relaxed. My two girls have cystic fibrosis, and so the electric nose sucker is amazing for us!
Christina J
My fav is the Love2Fre sleep sacks. My babies have never liked their arms down for long, and this still covers them but let’s them be up so they can mouth on them too (plus they kind of look like a cute gingerbread. Lol).
Mariah
I love all those ideas. I can’t wait to start getting everything we need. Just found out we’re pregnant with our FIRST!❤️❤️
Megan Didiano
Pacifier. And sound machine
Sydney
Definitely baby lounger!

Christy
I loved the snuggleme, swaddle blankets, sound machine and the nose Frida.

You have such great insight Sarah! I love these recommendations.
Liz Gritzinger
There are so many great products out there. I don’t know that I have a favorite baby item. I’ve heard of the sleep sacs but have never tried them. I have a 6 week old baby girl, Winnie. She thinks her favorite baby product is her kitty WubbaNub.
Dorothy Hofer
A Baby Nest . Especially for first time Moms .
Lisa Suber
We have used that bouncy seat for years, too. It’s a good price point and used frequently. We also have a Lamaze toy that’s similar – the moose. It’s a beloved baby toy everyone has played with in our home! Can’t wait to see pictures of your sweet girl when she comes!
Jenn
Those sleep sacks are the best! We had them with our first baby and will use them again for our next.
Laren Wimberley
Sound machine, Ollie swaddle, and halo bassinet are must haves for the newborn phase!!

Kelana Colwell
The hatch sounds machine is amazing!! We love it so much!
Jessi Bolt
Diapers and wipes! I was blessed with so many diapers and wipes with my son he is almost 21 months and I have wipes from my shower still. And we didn’t have to buy diapers for 6-7 months I had to exchange some of course but I was so grateful. I’m pregnant with my second child and I’ve already told my mom I would be happy with just a diaper shower because it’s no nice not to have to think about buying diapers all the time! My other favorite thing was we ask for books instead of cards at our shower and my son has so many books he loves that I had never heard of some of our favorites!
Alycia
The First Years bathtub is also a favorite for us! Storing it is a bit of a pain but it’s hands down the most function one! I’ve been hoping to try out kyte baby with our next one as I’ve heard so many great things!!
Jessica
I always wanted a Moses basket for my babies, but I love the soft sleepers too!
Gena Bogard
I always liked the hooded bath towels!!!

Wishing you and your baby girl all the very best!

Laura Mahaney
Pacis and burp cloths are a must! I want to try a snuggle me this time around!
Ashley Johnson
I think mine are a car seat cover since we live in the frozen tundra, Co-Sleeper, and a nursing cover with a firm panel on the top so you always have privacy but you can always look down and see your baby! ❤️
Cathy Beard
As a grandma to 5 under 5 it’s been so neat seeing the way the babies and parents love the sleep sacks! What a great idea that is! Neat that the ones you recommend come in different thicknesses for the seasons;)

The snuggle me for sure! Love the transition to a dockatot after the snuggle me !!

Sarah, thank you for taking the time putting this together! I love following your family’s adventures. My fave baby item would be the bathtub!

Janelle J
We are all about Brave Little Ones Jammie’s over here!
Kelly
I love the angelcare bathtub because I just put it in our bathtub and it’s not an extra thing big thing ya know. I also am that weird mom that never really used burp cloths. Maybe with the next one! But I love love love the h&m onesies. They really are just the best ones. Great for under layers in the winter too.

Still being used today almost 40 years later as snot rags haha!!)
Taylor
Couldn’t live without a sound machine!
Bethany Zamaripa
So hard to choose one! I’m pregnant with my 3rd and love all of these! I would say the hatch sound machine has been incredible!

Hatch sound machine hands down! We have the one with a built in baby monitor and it is amazing! Also Kyte not a need but hands down nothing like picking up your tiny squish and then being in butter clothes!
Mariah Heine
I bought a few items from one of your past blog posts about best baby items after Griffy. We had our first in April ‘22 and he was either naturally a good sleeper or the Kyte sleep sacks and hatch sound machine were what kept him cozy and sleeping!
Chelsea Emery
This is so helpful, I’m expecting baby number two in May! My favorite product is Velcro Swaddles! They are seriously a lifesaver I do buy a cute bamboo one for a photo but swaddling in the middle of the night is a lot so i love the ease of the Velcro swaddles
Dani Del Castillo
The first years bathtub has been our FAVORITE item ever. We love the sling!
Rachel
The sleep sacks by far are a favorite! They have gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing baby is warm and no blankets are going over the head!
Wendy
There are many items I’ve used and loved, and the one I still cannot go without is a sound machine. It’s the only item still being used years later.
My favorite baby item that I always gift to new moms is a butt spatula. Diaper cream on fingers is the worst!
Katie Eldridge
My Moby Wrap was probably my favorable item. Made carrying baby around so easy!
Lauren Glenn

Lauren Jones
Pobi baby crib sheets & blankets are the best!

Karlee Knab
Love a playmate. It’s been wonderful for my boys!

Margo Newman
Happy Baby Carrier!
Allison Thompson

Best baby item are those swaddles with velcro! I was terrible at swaddling with just blankets so those were a game changer!!

Bouncers for the win!

Ooo, I have the same burp clothes and they truly are the best!!
Jancee Casuga

A sound machine and sleep sacks are a must!

A good nursing cover is a must for me but also a sound machine, especially if you have multiple kids or a smaller home!
Jill
Pacifiers! Love a paci faced baby!❤️

My favorite baby item has to be cloth diapers! They are so versatile and can be used for anything, not just as a diaper. Using it as a burp cloth is my favorite.
Sarah
We love love love our SnuggleMe! We also use sound machines in every room! I had a baby girl after having just boys and wanting to update her room some. I’ve had my eye on the Hatch sound machine so I may try that for baby girl!
Noémie Lavallée

Kelsie Kowallis
Love my nursing pillow! Can’t believe your baby girl is almost here!!! 💖
Hailey Crosby
Swaddles would be our biggest must have! My son could not sleep well without being swaddled or in a sleep sack
Briana
I also love the hatch it was a game changer for my toddler to sleep train. I also love the momma roo swing had it with my last two and the halo bassinet. Since it was tall enough to go next to our giant bed.
Allyssa
Yes, definitely a sound machine!! When my son was in our room and we had the sound machine, both me and my husband couldn’t believe how much better we slept with white noise!
Also having a stroller that the infant car seat clicks into was sooo convenient!
Alyssa
The Ollie Swaddle! My daughter slept through the night with it as soon as we got it at 5 weeks and continued to sleep through the night! She’s 3 now, and is an amazing sleeper!
Sarah Willenborg
The hatch sound machine is the best! Use it for the kids I nanny and plan to get one for my little guy due in May!
Amy Varela
Swaddle for sure! I couldn’t survive the first month without it.
Carrie
Copper Pearl burp cloths and itzy ritzy diaper bag
Kathy
With every baby, I like absorbent hooded bath towels and new washcloths. A bouncy seat for sure. Onesies
Kara Purcell
I love all the baby items! What I love most is what you can’t ever find or buy. The best baby item is the love which you so freely give. I’m always in awe of the patience and love you just carry. Your a true inspiration and I am grateful that you are the example you are to help me be better as a mother. This baby is already coming sooooooo blessed! Blessing you and yours with my prayers.
Casie Foskey (casie.leigh5)
My favorite has been the electric mixing pitcher for milk. I will make the milk in the pitcher then hit the button so it mixes all by itself. This way I don’t have to do any shaking. Also it is so much easier to get up in the middle of the night & pour milk into a bottle from the pitcher. I put the pitcher in the fridge & use the milk within 24 hours.
Liesel Bott
The sound machine! Must have!!🙌🙌
Tinz
Thanks for sharing! We are welcoming a sweet almost 4 month old baby girl into our family on Sunday!
Jennifer
I love zipper pajamas no buttons to mess with at night! Also my baby girl loved the bouncer. She still tries to get in it even if she is too big!
Tracey Albert
Tula baby carriers are my favorite baby item.
Shelby
A sound machine is a must for us! With back up batteries just in case the electric goes out.
Kim
Love, love sleep sacks. Good luck and can’t wait to meet baby girl!
Britney
I like the nursing pillow

I personally have not used any yet but definitely have added some of these to use once our baby arrives in the coming months. The Lou Lou swaddles look amazing. Thank you for sharing 💛
Jessica Hayward
We also LOVE our hatch sound machine!
Elizabeth Lobdell
I dont actually use most of these for my babies, because we have a very small space and just don’t have the room. But I have to say, swaddles and sleep sacks are really high on my list of must have’s!
Alyssa
My Brest friend nursing pillow
Love to dream swaddle me
Como tomo bottles
Mam pacifiers
Dock a Tot
Any kind of swing
Magnet snap or zipper onesies (definitely NO button snaps)
Jessica Grazewski
We love sleepsacks as well. And my grandchildren sleep in them as well
Lacy Lindsey
I love the sleep sacks you use! Mine are past babies but we went through so many sleep sacks!
Donna
I know it’s very controversial these days but I always loved the Walker for my 5 kids. It gave them confidence and they were able to go where they wanted and it gave them a different perspective than the floor. And no it didn’t cause any hip problems.
Niki Hammerich
By far the sleep sack!!! Life saver with our boys!!
Leanne Kanis
I love all these things! My 3rd just turned 5 months and I would buy them all if I could.
Emily DeHart
I will forever be a fan of my baby carrier! Even with my first, it was CRUCIAL to be able to get anything done! I have a sling for tiny babies and a Tula for as they get older!
LuAnn
Love the sleep sack. Need to try a sound machine yet.
Liz Edmondson
My favorite nursing pillow was the my Brest Friend. It was so helpful and I loved being able to clip it on my waist and stand up without losing the pillow
Carly Bojczuk
A sounds machine (for our noisy house ), Hakka ( to use on the breast I’m not nursing from to catch leaks), tie bottom gowns (easy diaper changes)
Victoria
I just had my third baby and I would say my favorite thing is a nursing pillow.
Theresa
Oh! I love a good bouncer for when I’m in the shower also! Also, love sleep sacks & sound machines for sleeping.

I love the Kyte baby sleep sacks! They are just soooo soft!!
Shey
My favorite item is the bouncey chair
Lynn Painter
Loved the swaddlers! For my grand babies. They sleep so much better and they stay warm
Joelle
A moby wrap is my absolute favorite newborn must have. As baby gets over 10lbs I love a buckle carrier for babywearing. With 5 little ones(4boys, 1girl) I feel babywearing is absolutely necessary so I can still snuggle baby but also take care of all my boys.
Szabó Laura
Yay Baby bouncer would be great!
Lisa S
we can’t live without burt’s bees baby burp cloths!
Rachael
My last baby wouldn’t take a pacifier, like my first, but he wanted something so bad, so we found this penguin hand teether on Amazon, and it made him so gloriously happy!
Also, that baby bathtub looks great! Might have to upgrade for this next baby!!
Nicolette Watson
Too baby favorite is the TushBaby carrier!! It’s the perfect item for traveling with a baby or toddler.
Kellie Boersma
Love a nice bouncer to put the baby in ❤️
Serena
Totally noting a few of these items! Thanks!
Alix
We’ve never tried a sound machine but am tempted to for babe on the way. Two active (young) kiddos in the small house make Naps next to impossible.
Jillian
My favorite is a dock a tot! It’s so versatile and I love that I can bring it anywhere!
Keri McCrory
Hands down a sound machine 🙌
Ashleigh Bittle
The Snoo bassinet was a life saver for us first time parents who had a baby rolling around in his swaddle in the first week of life. Every baby and every parent is so different and it’s hard to know what will be the right fit. It’s always great to hear other moms must have lists, thank you for sharing!
Laurie Burns
I’m a grandma now but every baby needs burp cloths and bibs – both of which I hand make for my daughters and their friends!
Bri M
The Haaka is our fave!
Rebecca
Sound machine is a must!!
Deb Pazdziorny
Thank you for this! My daughter is having her first baby next month!!!!!
Grammy M
I just bought a five pack of the wrap around onesies for my new grandson! Can’t wait to gift them to my daughter in law and son!
Margaret
Snuggle me and the pacifiers!! 😍
Kelli
Sound machine! Definitely a must have. 🙂
No wait, I’m changing that to a baby wrap. Especially with my second babe, I wore her for a nap a day! Now with my third, I know those wraps will get some good use. 🙂
Brooke
40 + 4 with our rainbow baby girl! Snuggle me, Haakaa, sound machine!
Mariah
I love the hatch and snuggle me! They were both must haves for our kids. We also swear by the “shusher.” Makes car rides a life saver
Amanda
My favorite item when my baby was a newborn was the Halo sleep sack. It was so easy to use and my baby loved it!
Nicole @nicoleroberson_17
A swing! My babies loved a swing!
Margaret
My new favorite baby item is the snuggle me. Will probably buy the hatch sound machine & the burp cloths . Having quality burp cloths while nursing is a must.
Anna Heath
We used the same scripture lullabies CD with our last baby 9 years ago and I still love it. 🙂
Claire Dunn
The stretch swaddles are my fav too for my little one. Have another little one coming in May, and want to get their own stretch swaddle personalized with their name when they arrive!
Hope Smith
I’m currently pregnant with my first and greatly appreciate all of these suggestions! I’ve already added the snuggle me lounger to my registry:)
Lauren
The snuggle me lounger! We’re expecting baby #2 this fall and would love to get a new one for them 🙂
Lauren
Snuggle me lounger! We are expecting baby number two this fall and they’ll use one just like big bro!
Amanda Carlson
My favorite baby item is the baby lounger. I used that thing everyday! My son lived in it so much, especially during the newborn days. My second would be the my breast friend nursing pillow! Great for gals with larger chests!
Cindy Rawden
I love all those baby things that you love to! I love having a bassinet, I love having a glider chair in the nursery for me and baby special time I love pacifiers, bottles I love little onesies
I love those little gowns for easy changing at night I’m so happy that you are finally getting a baby girl!!! I have two girls no boys and they are lots of fun!!!
Chelsea Bazzolo
For the first 3 months, a swing was a MUST for us! Afterwards, we’ve been getting great use out of our 4-in-1 Skip Hop activity table!
Shayla
Hatch sound machine!
Brianne Greenwood
Baby bouncers are a must over here!😊
Emily
The Kyte baby sleep sack and sound machine are our favorites for bedtime!
Rachel
A baby carrier. I babywore for what felt like forever. We live in the northeast- and being very rural- we don’t have sidewalks. We walk everyday- still do- have upgraded to a backpack.
Amy Schaap
Sound machine for sure!!! And the pacifiers!! I loved both for all my babies!!
Jamie Ervine
I love kyte baby sleep sacks! I also had a Mory June Moses bag I adored but they no longer carry the product.
Andrea
There are so many handy things. I love a good carrier and a back pack diaper bag because having one slide off my shoulder onto my elbow while carrying a baby and trying to shuffle 3 toddler boyd places makes it challenging. A backpack diaper bag stays put, out of the wayband gives an extra hand
Foxhoven Maddie
Couldn’t live without our Hatch!
Lily Swansburg
Sound machine 100%
We also really loved the stretchy swaddles but had the best luck with copper pearl!
My little guy loved being close to me in a wrap and I’m expecting #2 in the fall so, hopefully this baby does too!
Allison Becton
Right now (3 month old) my favorite is my solly baby wrap … helps me so much with having my hands free for household chores and spending time with my older two
Alicia
You can never have enough wash cloths or swaddles! I always wanted the lounge!
Darlis
Love having a playmat and another favorite that I have used for all my children so far is a rock and play.
Cassidy
A Hatch! Definitely a game changer!
Kristen
Love these Sarah! Saving for if we ever have baby #6 🙈 it’s been 5 years since my last baby!!!! Lol
Audrey
Butt paste spatula!
Heather Boyd
My favorite is the Bamboobies nursing covers. I can’t believe I made it through my first baby’s nursing journey without a cover that wraps all around you! Game changer for sure!
Kara Jatoft
Our best baby item for infants was the SwaddleMe. For older babies we always used the munchkin snack cups and the little tether you could attach to it so they couldn’t throw it on the ground!
Rachel Silva
Kyte sleep sack is my favorite! We don’t have one for our babe but would absolutely love one 🥰
Arlene Flores
Sound machine was a huge help especially when the other kids are playing loudly haha!
Jessica
Love this list! Every one of mine has loved different things but a snuggle me has always been on my wish list, maybe with this one (#5)!
Sound machine and a bum brush are a must have for all my babes so far though!
Kristen
I love having a bouncer for my babies! So nice to have a safe spot to set them down. Those soft swaddling blankets & sleep sack look great. I’ll need to keep those in mind for next time.
Jess
Too much to pick just one! But absolutely love Ryan & Rose pacifiers! Discovered them with our son and kept using them for our second daughter. Amazing how babies have different preferences with them! They both liked completely different designs!
So excited for baby girl to get here! ❤️ Hugs & prayers!
Jackie Lally
Sleep sack and sound machine!
Kirsten
I have always wanted to try the Snuggle Me Lounger!
Wanda Calder
Bouncer
Tabitha
Tough to pick one I loved my nursing pillow loved my baby carrier made shopping and park trips with my older son and baby easier also my video baby monitor Soni could get stuff done or take 5 mins when stressed out and could still keep eye on kids
Chelsee Scott
We love the snuggle me and tula carrier!
Angela
A sound machine! So great
Kris Vincent
Snuggleme lounger is my favorite baby product
Meag
I love a good bouncer. I find it so handy when showering, cooking, etc. Great post, I’m also going to check out those cute swaddle blankets.
Hannah Grant
The hatch sound machine! My husband and I had to buy one for ourselves when my babe transitioned to her own room because we loved it so much 😂🫶🏻
Galina U
I would say that my most used baby/mom item that I couldn’t live without was my medela double electric breast pump, but also I used the Muslim swaddle blankets instead of burp cloths because you never know how much and where it can land, I always had extra on hand.
Abigail Eades
My one baby product I can’t do without is my boppy/nursing pillow! It goes with me everywhere! Our own baby girl is due in 4 weeks so I’m neck-deep in sorting through baby stuff!
Kylie
Snuggle me! Wish I would’ve bought a bouncer seat bc the baby could be in it longer
Cassie Klutman
Baby Breeza formula machine!
Andrea
My favorite is the SnuggleMe lounger!
ann
I Love this ! Lots of great items🍼🍼🍼
Julianna
A good bottle brush for all the bottles
Gabrielle
Humidifier
Emily Heise
My favorite item, hands down is the Pottery Barn Inglesina Fast Table Chair! We use it ah home- friends houses and most importantly at restaurants!
Kylie Poindexter
My favorite baby item(s) is a solly wrap for the first 4-6 months and an ergo 360 carrier for 4 months and up. It’s a life saver for carrying young kiddos while getting things done around the house.
Angel
Honestly these are all the things I love too, especially the sound machine and burp clothes for my pukers. But we also love zip jammies for night time and not snap. Who wants to snap in the middle of the night while sleep deprived?!
Kaylene
Great list! Everything on here besides a noise machine (just never tried it) would be on my list if I made one. The lullaby kind of thing on my list would be a wind up stuffed animal, it plays a song or 2 as it unwinds we’ve had bears, a giraffe, or dogs with our kids. Really sweet. If we are talking practical must haves pacifiers, onesies and burp cloths, we had spitters so probably 2 packs of 10 😂🤦🏻♀️.
Areli Mroch
Definitely the hatch noise machine, also sleep sacks so you don’t have to use blankets in crib. So excited to see baby girl ♥️
Victoria
My favorites were the snuggle me lounger and Kyte baby sleep sacks!
linda Lewy
Uppa baby stroller and car seat! Sound machine! Wishing you an easy delivery!
Kristyna H
Definitely love LLC swaddles as well! They’re so cozy! We haven’t tried the snuggleme but definitely need to for next baby!
Rebecca Wagler
I love my Happy Baby carrier!
Lauren Knight
Our house sounds like an ocean at night with all the sound machines going!!!
Ashley Bryant
I have been out of the Abby game for 6 years but am expecting my third in September! So much has changed that I don’t even know what my favorite product is anymore. Super excited to try a snuggle me lounger this time around!
Julia K.
My favorite is the SuggleMe lounger!
Keziah
I love the Hatch sound machine and Ryan and Rose as well! The sound machine has been a game changer for us with bedtime and nap time.
Julia
It’s amazing how much things have changed since I’ve had my babies, and how much more stuff there is! I think it’s great!! 🙂
Courtney W.
Swaddled are always a top items for me as well! And we love the Hatch sound machine! Each kids room has one!
Kaylee
Muslin swaddles and a haakaa, I’ve become very minimalistic in extras for my babys, I enjoy not storing/buying so much.
Adrianna
Swaddles were a must with my first! My second loved the baby carrier! So those are on our must have list for our third! After reading some comments I’m thinking that we might have to add a sound machine to our list!
Marilyn Ledesma
Love the Rose & Ryan pacifiers ! Love the colors ! Your list is perfect! My daughters are getting ready for there babies in May & July ! This is all perfect information I’m going to pass along too.
Thx you
Krista Kreke
Sound machine, swaddles and baby play gym!!!
Eva
Baby girl loves the swing! Therefore the swing is my favorite😊
But also a ring sling 🤗
Brigitte
I enjoy using the sleep sack and carrying my baby in a carrier! Hope you will have a good delivery!

The Hatch gives me life!! But I so badly want to try the snuggle me and Kyte sleep sacks :). Due with baby #3 in July and maybe it’s time to try!
Olivia
Halo sleep sacks/swaddles are our favorite!!
Hillary-Frances Gwani

Tracey
Baby swing
Lindsay Huseby
Swaddle blankets!
Gianna
I love the Hatch sound machine too! And I got my first kyte sleep sack for baby #3, which looks so cozy I wish it came in my size! 😂
Janelle
GiannaSnuggle me lounger never had one but they sound so helpful!! Maybe even for changing diapers on the floor as I don’t do changing tables 🙂
Erica Martin
Sound machine is a MUST have for us! Also, my brest friend nursing pillow is a back saver!
Joanna
The swaddles! I had one stretch swaddle for my first son and it was my favorite. I’ve been looking for more for my second (due in five weeks 🤩) I may try your recommendations!
Dorothy Eicher
Definitely the snuggle me lounger or something similar. My foster baby is a year old now but I’m so happy I had one for her. I just wish I would’ve got one way sooner!
Marie Gilkerson
Need to try that sleep sack!! Baby arriving in May 🥰
Liza Dutra
I would say that the sound machine would be nice item to have. It would definitely be a helpful tool to keep them sleeping longer and not be bothered by their louder siblings playing in the next room. 😂 Shoot, I’d even love it for myself to sleep in on weekends when the hubby wakes up to early and starts up with the banging of the cabinet doors.😳🙉
Elizabeth
I’ve never had a SnuggleMe lounger but would love to try one! It looks so cozy!
Sarah Miller
A good swaddle is probably my favorite baby item!! I also love all of my carriers!
Lindsay Stover
I am pregnant with my first , so this list is super helpful! In my work with kids, interactive play mats have been a lifesaver! A safe place for tummy time with developmentally appropriate activities is a win-win!
Emily Wood
What a wonderful list!!!!!!! As a mama of 4, (3 boys and my youngest is a GIRL! She is 5 months old.) I can say this is truly a GREAT list!!! We love our bath tub which is very similar to the one you posted. I’m always a big fan of anything that can transition as the baby gets older. Can’t wait to see your precious little girl!
Caitlyn
I love my lillebaby carrier and I feel like I’m always needing new burp cloths!!
Larissa McNew
Such great suggestions, Sarah!!
Linda Gannon
I love ❤️ the sound machines. But I didn’t/don’t know about the cd 💿 playing sound machines. But it’s my favorite 😍
Kristen Halsey
My lifesaver was a baby swing. It’s the only thing my youngest especially, would sleep in.
Karna
A baby carrier/sling, etc!
Natalie M
Oh gosh! Only one go to?! Haha, let’s see…I think for the early days, it would have to be a wrap carrier. But it quickly develops into if you give a mouse a cookie scenario for e, so I’ll stop there!! You have amazing advice here, so I tried to think of ANOTHER one that is clutch too!
Jana Daw
Looks like you’re a pro about all your items. I’ll make sure to buy some of these items for my fire grand daughter
Catelyn Ness
Portable sound machine!
Maggie
Pacifiers and burp cloths are my favorites! Pregnant with baby number five! Due May 11th. Praying you and your sweet baby girl have a safe sweet delivery!
Kailee Cordle
Baby Ktan carrier for sure!!
Lindsey Shinkey
My all time favorite bay item is my wrap conversion ringsling. 👌🏼 especially with having so many other babes!
Ashley Turner
Sound machine for sure and baby camera
Kelsey
Sound machine! I just got a portable one that can clip to the carseat or wherever you need it for my third babe and it’s been a game changer!
Chantelle Perez
The sound machine! We still use sound machines in our kids’ rooms and ours as well.
Alexis
Definitely a sound machine and a swing for us! I formula feed my last baby and hands down the best purchase for doing formula is an electric tea kettle that will bear to exactly 100 degrees!
Rebekah Spencer
Ergo baby baby carrier, I used with all four and I was a life saver when one was fussy
Whitney Bradshaw
I LOVE the Hidden In My Heart scripture baby lullaby’s! We listen to them every night. And I have that same bath tub. I love that it fits over my sink in the kitchen so when they are those first several weeks old, I dont have to bend over the tub while I’m still healing. I have 2 boys and 1 girl. I do wish I would have had a wipe warmer with my girl. Things are just more sensitive during diaper changes and she is 2 and still hates getting her diaper changed. Also, one of those little finger tooth brushes! I like to start when they are newborns so they go right into brushing their teeth like champs when they get their little teeth in.
Erika Fagley
Breathable mattress
Sonya
I love Indestructibles Books!! Make sure you have the “s” on the end of Indestructibles when you search. They are chew proof, rip proof, non-toxic, and 100% washable (bath friendly)! They’re super, super light weight so they’re great for on the go in the diaper bag and for travel. Most importantly, I love that they have bright, eye catching pictures, just the right amount of print for babies and toddlers, and they have lots of titles! My kids love the “songs/rhymes” books like This Little Piggy, Wheels on the Bus, Happy and you Know It… They have titles promoting kindness, foods, shapes… so many!! You will love them!
Andrea Munoz
I’ve never personally owned a breastfeeding pillow but would love to as this is our last pregnancy. Husband being the only one who works we need to ensure we are wise with our spending…
Rosalind Atkinson
Pacifier and mattress pad
Alexis

Deanna Magee
Most used baby item by far is the sound machine, it’s a must have in all our bedrooms now. My favorite spurge item was a Babybjorn bouncer.
Kelly
I love the sound machine and the snuggle me lounger!

Our favorite baby item is our portable high chair. It folds up like a camp chair and is so easy to use, wash, and transport!
Amy Baker
So many good things here… Snuggle me Lounger would be amazing to have, so useful!

The snuggle me lounger
Kyla Lanigan
I am expecting my fifth baby in a few months! Love Ryan and Rose!
I think I would like the snuggle me organic—but haven’t had one of those yet!

Sabrina Hathaway
The sound machine. My grandson liked it so much, I purchased one for myself ❤️
Morgan Burleson
The hatch is our favorite!! We have one in our 18 month olds room, one at my in laws and one at my parents house for her!

Bridgette
Fisher price cradle n swing! The best swing! All 4 of my babies loved it 😊
Summer
So many of these are also on my favorites list! I love our Ryan & Rose, Lou Lou, Kyte, and Snuggle Me. I also absolutely love our Baby Bjorn bouncer… I wish we had invested in it for our first instead of waiting for our third!
Shannon Roehl-Wickingson
I love love the Kyte sleepsacks! So many colors and prints to chooose from! And the different weights/thicknesses are key as well.
Kimberly

Sound machine for the win!!
Lydia Hambrick
Sound machines have helped us sooo much! We swear by them and even have one in our room too:)

I think nursing pillow for sure was my favorite! My little never liked to be swaddled but now that he’s 2 that’s the only way I can transfer him from my bed to his! 🤣
Cassie Molitor
Pacifiers and sound machines all the way. And swaddle sacks!
Katy King
Pregnancy Pillow is my favorite!

Katie Williams
Sound machine looks cool and I’d love to try that sleep sack
Briana Waldoch
I Love stretchy swaddles for my babies!
Terrah Waide
Totally agree with the nursing pillow!
Kim Buff
Super simple but from someone that used formula, the simple little gadget to premeasure out the formula was a huge time saver. Especially when out and about. 🤗
Kristin Franklin
I love silly baby wraps! Hands free but still get baby snugs 😊
Liana Kurudimov
I appreciate you sharing all your favorites. I feel like with every kiddo I discover something new and better. Thank you
Taryn Wright
My son loved his play gym when he was a baby.
Autumn Sloggett
Sound machine!
Dana
A sound machine of some sort for sure. We had a light up toy that would hook to the crib and play nature sounds. It was perfect!
Autumn Sloggett
Probably a sound machine
Kristen Limacher
A Kyte baby sleep sack and a GOOD quality sound machine.
Jordan Nider
As far as big ticket items go, I’m partial to a bedside bassinet/cosleeper! The ones that secure against the side of your mattress and use a zip-up side to give easy access to baby during the night are SO helpful. Baby gets fed much quicker (and without having to fumble for light switches), and mama has the peace of mind of having them safely in sight. It helped my postpartum anxiety tremendously to have my son close enough to touch.
In terms of small items, I definitely recommend the Haakaa milk collectors! They catch letdown so well, and help you passively build up a freezer stash without the hassle of a mechanical pump. I recommend them to all of my doula client mamas and friends!
CP
Definitely the two sided zippered pajamas! Also, I have learned from other moms that sound machines are where it’s at!
Karen
The sound machine is the best.
Nahomi
The baby brezza formula maker was probably one of my favorites
Rachel
My ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE is a Newton Baby Crib Mattress! It gave such peace of mind when Baby transitioned out of the bassinet in our room and into her own crib. Especially considering she is a belly sleeper, we absolutely got our money’s worth and we can’t wait to use it for the rest of our babies!
Irina
Can’t live without fisher price baby swing
Hailey
Dock a Tot been the BEST baby purchase ive ever made! And the two way zipper pjs for sure
Sara
Expecting FTM and NICU nurse here and my favorite item to gift and will be to use myself is a sleep sack! I am all about promoting safe sleep!!
Tamara
Items I cannot live without must be a baby carrier/sling, sound machine and a good swaddle for a new born!!
Kelly Forsberg
I would say my all-time favorites, baby item is a pacifier if they’ll take it, and definitely a bouncer/baby swing that makes noises plus rock them asleep as well! 💗
Emma
My favorite baby item is a carrier! Love to wear my baby all day 🙂
Maria
I love Lou Lou and Co. products!!! I found them with my last one and so excited to be able to use them again in a couple of months with our little one coming in May ❤️🥰
Jill
Snuggle me looks like a life saver
Katherine
Snuggle me is definitely a must have! Both my babies have loved it. I also always recommend the doona car seat stroller for every new mom.
Kristi
I have 8 kids, and after several a sound machine is a must!
Adriana
Sleep Sacks and Sound Machines are a must! Having our baby and due in June! She’s our final little one and it’s so bittersweet! Congrats on your new addition!
Jennifer Anthony
The Ergo!

Sound machine and zippered pjs, don’t fuss with snaps
allison
Lounger though is something I never knew I needed! Broke down and got one just to try and LOVED it
Kali Wanstrom
Oooh I definitely need to get me the snuggle me baby lounger for baby #2 due in August! I will say, I’ve loved having our diaper genie for those stinky diapers you don’t want stinking up the house but the snow is just a little to high to run out to the dumpster haha something I couldn’t go without! I’ve been looking for a good baby lounger so I’ll definitely be trying the snuggleme!
Carolyn Konopi
I’m amazed at how many ingenious baby products are available since I had my kids. My daughter has used a sound machine with great success. It’s ideal for blocking out the sounds of life in the home.
Kayleigh
Sleep sacs! And como tomo bottles!
Dianna Maendel
2 of my favourite baby products are pretty swaddle blankets, and a sound machine!

Alissa Deutsch
I agree with all these items! I have twins so to add something for my twin moms I would add the twinzpillow!
Jill Bolinger
Our daughter (and s-i-l) who are missionaries in Guatemala will be coming back to have their third child soon! So exciting, but also daunting as they have nothing (and very limited funds). These are so helpful as we try to help them but can’t do “it all”.
God’s richest to you and yours as you will soon enjoy more fully this gift from Him!
Sandra Sharp
Sound machine’ and now even i sleep with one.
Nancy Morganweck
Sleep sacks, the best!!!
Jennifer Igo
Mine would have to be the boppy. I felt like with my one child I used it so much. Thank you for sharing yours!!!
Guadalupe Dejesus
Thank you for sharing your family and recipes and homeschooling so encouraging to see!
Brianna
So many good ones! I love the R&R pacifiers for my babies as well, I love how easy they are to clean/sterilize! Also the Lou Lou & Company swaddles are so good and I have way too many! But they can be used as nursing covers, car seat covers, shopping cart covers, burp rags, just about anything! My 18 month old drags hers around everywhere and loves snuggling with it at night.
Jessie Matvey
A baby carrier! Especially with more kids… I wear my third baby wayyyy more than I ever did with my first! I love the Tula brand!
Colleen Coggins
Kyte baby sleep sack!
Megan Clauson
I have purchased the Ollie swaddle from the Ollie world after following her on Instagram and I cannot wait to use it! Also love my Ryan and Rose pacifiers!
Falon B.
My favorite baby item has hands down been Copper Pearl burp rags! They have soooo many cute designs and are the perfect size for all messes!
Michelle kooyenga
I’m a big fan of the baby bouncer. I have a similar one that I have used for my first three babies and plan to use in the next 7 weeks for my 4th baby.
I also have the same bath tub just without the sling. Again another favorite.
My mom makes me homemade burp clothes in super cute fabrics that I use all over the house.
Margaret Callahan
Love Kyte Baby saddles. They would have been so nice

Sarah

My favorite baby item is the sit me up seat!
Alyssa
The lovevery play mat, sleep sacks, and a breastfeeding pillow are my favorite items! I will be trying the pillow you like for sure with my next baby!
Kay Halfman
My favorite item is a nose sucker, booger sucker, nose Frieda, etc. It has been so helpful when my babies have been sick. Clearing their little airways gives a scared momma some sense of relief.
Wanda
The stretch swaddle and and bouncy seat are my two must haves for babies.

Would love the hatch. I hear great reviews. Blessings to you and your beautiful family

My vintage graco swing has been a life saver for me! All 4 of my boys have loved it. The ninni co pacifier has been a hit with baby #4 and I so wish I would’ve had it 5 years ago!

I think you nailed it pretty well! Definitely agree with sound machine (and a portable one or the white noise baby app), but if I were to add to the list I love a good black and white crinkle boook. This one is my favorite but I love so many of their baby books and fold out options! https://1107731.paperpie.com/p/8157/crinkle-jungle

Hatch and Snuggle Me are two of the best things and we have both!
Melissa Truitt
My favorite item is the sound machine. Literally the best ever.
Sara Richards
Probiotics for baby instead of gripe water…total game changer for fussy babies! I’m thinking I might need to try the snuggle me lounger for my baby coming in July though! Thanks for the suggestions!

Burp Rags -can never have enough

So many great products! I just bought the hatch sound machine and can’t wait to try it out!
Emily
Ergo baby carrier and a sound machine are some of my favorite baby items. I’m currently 17 wks pregnant and this is getting me excited about all the baby stuff again. 😊

Pacifiers!

A good devotional for mom & a baby swing are my must essentials for surviving lol. None of my three kiddos used a pacifier or their crib. Nursing pillows are essential!
Jenna Venezia
My fav baby item the 3rd time around definitely was my SnuggleMe!! I wish I had it for my first two! I also very much loved my Luna Lullaby nursing pillow best of all the ones I had!
Rebecca
Love seeing all the baby things!

As a mom to5, I always love my baby carriers, makes it so much easier to get things done while still snuggling baby. I also love using a sound machine to help drown out the sounds of a crazy household while baby sleeps!
Melissa McClenaghan Damon
Momma of 7 here! And I’m always seeing new stuff I like with each sweet baby. Would love some swaddles for my sweet girl or onsies! The sound machine has always been on my lost too! Just have never tried it and in a house with seven kids, five boys and two girls it sounds like a great idea!
Kimberly
I love my city select stroller! I use it all the time!
Lisa Saunders
I love the snuggle me !Like you said having a safe space for them is so Amazing!
Sue Haynes
My favorite baby item for my grandkids was the cute little muslin blankets. They’re so light and airy, yet so cuddly
Jennifer
Thanks for the recommendation on a Snuggle Me! I keep looking at them and trying to decide if I actually need one or not since I have gone 5 kids without one 🙂 but I see everyone with them now!
