A Hatch Rest baby sound machine with so many sound and lighting options, you'll have a blast picking your baby's room ~vibes~. This can also be set to use as an "okay to wake" clock when your kiddo is a little older!
Promising review: "Love the wide range of volume, sounds, brightness, and color. I have one kid that prefers his sound quiet and two that like it loud. Third time purchasing this product. I have the Skip Hop sound machines as well, but they don't hold a candle to the Hatch products." —NicolePrice: $59.99
A long-range Dr. Care baby monitor that includes a motion-detecting camera (with temperature and humidity monitoring!), and a view of your snoozing baby that you can see on the monitor or the corresponding phone app. Let this setup effortlessly do the rest of the work of keeping you at ease so you can catch those sweet, sweet Zzzzz's.
I got this to replace my first baby monitor that was on the fritz, and as someone who *didn't* have the app ability before, this is a GAME CHANGER. Price: $89.99
A pack of disposable table toppers for airplane seat trays and restaurant tables. These make cleanup so much easier that you won't have to stress about de-sticking fruit snacks from surfaces outside the comfort of your own home.
Price: $8.97 for a 36-pack
A Skip Hop baby activity center reviewers love for its grow-with-me functionality, safety, and ability to keep babies entertained for more than three minutes while you, like, run to pee by yourself or something luxurious like that. Also, it grows with your kids, so it can turn into a standing center or a table for your toddler!
Promising review: "I so badly wish we would've known about this activity center or had this for our first two babies. It is PERFECT! So easy to clean, so many different ways you can arrange the little play toys on the surface, and the best part is that it encourages standing rather than tip-toe jumping! The assembly is incredible, I am so impressed with the design. The colors are not so bright that it's an eyesore for my poor, destroyed living room, but there is still color and life to intrigue my little guy. The seat is wonderful because it is so easy to pop out and clean up, or wash the lining. If I could give this 80 stars, I would. 300% worth the money!" —HaleyPrice: $141
A Baby Trend expedition stroller wagon all the parents at the park will be envious of because it's roomy enough for two whole kids and *all* of the stuff that goes along with them. If you've gotta push a stroller, it really should have space to offload everything so you can just cruise and soothe without your back getting all hot from your backpack diaper bag or feeling like a pack mule.
Promising review: "I love every single thing about this stroller. I put my 3-year-old and 2-year-old in there, and they fit perfectly. They enjoy being in it as well. It took two minutes to set it up, and it's very simple to fold and store in the trunk. I get compliments on it everywhere I go." —roxannaPrice: $149 (available in two colors)
A three-pack of Munchkin suction cup bowls still in my home even though my kid is past the toddler phase because they are the PERFECT snack size for cheese cubes, fruit snacks, and grapes.
The suction cup bottom is GREAT because it totally works when they're younger, but isn't so obnoxiously sticky that it's a bother when they're older and don't need the functionality anymore. Promising review: "I love these bowls' perfect sizes, and the suction cup on the bottom is great. Easy for kids to use and easy to clean. This is actually my second set that I've purchased." —Akw11Price: $8.82
An Oogiebear nose cleaner and ear wax removal tool because babies can be pretty finicky about getting their nose and ears cleaned, and this relieves of stress for both babies and parents vs. the traditional snot sucker balls.
Promising reviews: "Best way to get rid of boogers in babies. My daughter hated the sucker ones and this was easy and the perfect size." —Mollie"This is a great tool for babies! I use it to clean my 2-month-old's nose and it works great. Their noses are so little and cotton swabs just push boogies further. This works so well because it can scoop the boogies out." —JasminePrice: $9.97
Or an electric nose sucker that puts on a little music and light show to keep your baby entertained while you get the gunk out of their noses. No manual effort needed on this one! Power it on and tell the boogies goodbye without having to squeeze a bulb or suck through a filter (IYKYK).
Promising review: "BUY IT! Amazing. My kids have always hated ANY booger suckers I've tried. This one is like magic. It works so efficiently while also being gentle enough to not bother my child at all. It does make noise, but my baby does not seem to mind, especially when you use the music or light feature. It is well worth spending a little extra compared to other brands. BEST purchase ever in regards to getting snot or boogers out! Also, it comes with different sizes — fit for baby or toddler!" —JanellePrice: $21.24+ (originally $79.99, available in two colors)
An Ingenuity 3-in-1 baby bouncer to have a safe place to let your baby bounce and play without you having to worry about them suddenly learning to crawl and taking off for the great wide yonder. (Which we all know is *probably* not going to happen the moment we turn our backs, but this eliminates the fear altogether. 😂)
Promising review: "This has been a great addition to our arsenal. Lightweight and easy to move around. I appreciate that the vibration is easy to remove and change the batteries, so I can still do it while baby is in the bouncer." —Walmart customerPrice: $64+ (available in three colors and two patterns)
A bedside sleeper bassinet for easy night feedings and snuggles. It butts up right against the bed, so no aerobics are necessary to get to your little one when they're hungry or need some comfort in the wee hours. Work smarter, not harder than you already are!
Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver! Having had a C-section, this has really made it a game changer as I can sit and access my newborn instead of bending over. It has a great little shelf on the bottom, and the side zips open and closed. I love that I can also push it around, and it doesn't feel flimsy. Wish I would have known about this style with my previous kids." —sande276Price: $85.89 (originally $159.99, available in two colors)
A Baby Brezza bottle sterilizer which happily lived on my counter for a long time because it can sanitize EVERYTHING from bottles to pacifiers to teething toys with the press of a button. Bye-bye, annoying stove method, hello getting some time (and brain cells!) back.
Promising reviews: "This sterilizer is great. Easy to operate. Bought a second one for grandma's house." —Stephanie "In 30 minutes we have sterilized bottle. I wish this product had been around for our first grandchild. We sterilize everything in it, including bottle brushes and pacifiers." —CindyPrice: $99.99
And a Baby Brezza Advanced Formula Dispensing Machine, affectionately called "the baby formula Keurig" in my household. This thing is MAGICAL. You check the manual and adjust the settings to your specific formula, and voila! A perfectly warmed bottle at the touch of a button. Scoops and spilled powder be gone!
Promising review: "The Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced has been a total game changer for us! It makes bottles in seconds with the perfect temperature and consistency every time. No more late-night fumbling or worrying about mixing ratios. It's so easy to use and saves a ton of time. I honestly don't know how we managed without it. Highly recommend for any formula feeding parent!" —IrisPrice: $198
A Halo sleep swaddle a lot of hospitals will issue you as a ~free gift~ on your way out the door, but trust me: You're gonna want to be smart and have at least three of them in rotation. With Velcro wings you can use to swaddle arms or just wrap around their tummy if your kiddo likes to be hands-free, these are the easiest, comfiest swaddles around!
Promising reviews: "This is amazing, especially if you have a baby that is constantly wiggling around at night. This is the only thing that seems to keep my son content." —alyissa"Love this swaddle, you can use it three different ways so you don't have to get new swaddles when they don't want their hands out of the swaddle." —DavenPrice: $34.99
A Skip Hop diaper bag backpack to hold everything but the kitchen sink, though I'm sure you could fit that in if you absolutely needed to. This bag is roomy, has plenty of pockets, and is easily cleaned, so you can spend more time soaking up cute baby sounds and less time scrubbing at spilled milk.
Price: $70.99

Promising review: "My baby loves it, it's super easy to put together and is easily portable. It's spacious but doesn't take up too much room like an ordinary crib would. The product is also super durable and sturdy, best money I've spent on a product." —KamerynPrice: $139 (available in two colors)
A Momcozy baby carrier your body and your baby will love for the hands-free abilities without straining your already-tired back. Lots of reviewers note that it's also a guaranteed nap-maker for their littles, which any parent knows means an automatic, "Add it to the cart."

Still using it with her as a 7-month-old." —Anonymous"So impressed by this carrier! I wanted a WildBird Ariel carrier and ordered both, and this is just as good of quality, if not better! Save your money and buy this!!" —MeganPrice: $59.99+ (originally $79.99+, available in nine colors)
A four-pack of silicone baby bibs I loved even pre the solid food era because it caught all the lil' milk dribbles and spit up throughout the day. Also, it's ridiculously easy to clean up in a jiff in the sink. These made me feel ~super smart~ every time I avoided a huge mess!
Promising review: "I love these bibs. I'm so happy I bought them. They are great for my babies. I love that they're dishwasher-safe, so they get sanitized in the dishwasher. I would definitely recommend buying these." —MelaniePrice: $10+ (available in three color sets)

A Munchkin portable diaper changing pad because rule #1 is never, ever assume "they'll have a changing table" at that restaurant/store/sporting event bathroom. Save your baby (and yourself) from the ick of being unprepared by having this cute-as-a-button folded up dream in your diaper bag always.
Promising review: "The kit is exactly as pictured. It is the perfect size for baby. The area for the wipes and diapers is quite big too, which makes it perfect for storage!" —BrayleaPrice: $15.99

A baby diaper caddy organizer because even the tightest diapering routine can involve a lot of stuff, and it's so much easier to have it all in one space, especially if your home has several floors or changing stations. (Psst, I also used mine for breast pump transpo!)
Promising review: "The bag was bigger than I expected and was 109% sturdier than the other one I bought. Would definitely gift this to someone at a baby shower." —BianhkaPrice: $24.95+ (originally $28.95+; available in two sizes)
A Munchkin wipe warmer and dispenser you'll love no matter your climate because trust me: As someone living in Texas where "warming" isn't usually a concern, this dispenser also keeps the diapers moist, so you don't have to worry about a whole pack going to waste because it accidentally dried out. The night light is also perfect for late-night diaper changes without light-blinding you or your baby.
Promising review: "Ordered this last minute after getting home from being discharged with my baby. I quickly realized cold wipes make my diaper changes harder, so I ordered, and it's easy to load and use!!" —TaAaliyahPrice: $16.25 (originally $30.75)

Promising review: "Really cool cookbook. We're big Bluey fans in my house, so everyone was so excited when it arrived. There's a good variety of food to make, and if you're not from the U.S., it's got a lot of nostalgic recipes too! If you're debating buying this, don't. It's been a family night activity for months now. It's genuinely worth the purchase!" —MaverickPrice: $9.14
