1. 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!
Walmart
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." — Nicole
2. Or a Nanit sleep set that includes a pro camera with wall mount, a sound and light audio monitor, a travel stand, and a breathing band that means you can easily slip it on your baby's chest and let the pro camera do the rest of the work of keeping you at ease so you can catch those sweet, sweet Zzzzz's.

Plus, it comes with the CUTEST and most compact case, so this really is an everywhere kinda gadget, which every parent knows is ELITE when you have young kiddos and babies who get attached to their routines.
3. 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.

4. 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!
Walmart
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!" — Haley
5. 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.
Walmart
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." — roxanna
6. 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.
Walmart
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." — Akw11
7. 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.
Walmart
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." — Jasmine
8. 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).
Walmart
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!" — Janelle
9. 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. 😂)
Walmart
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 customer
10. 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!
Walmart
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." — sande276
11. 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.
Walmart
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." — Cindy
12. 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!
Walmart
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!" — Iris
13. 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!
Walmart
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." — Daven
14. 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.
15. A lightweight, travel Graco Pack 'n Play for all the adventures to Auntie's house, vacations, and everywhere in-between! No more trying to finagle a place for your kiddos to play and sleep: You've already got it ~in the bag~. (Get it? Because there's a TRAVEL BAG INCLUDED?)
Walmart
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." — Kameryn
16. 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."
Walmart
Promising reviews:"This is a great baby carrier for an even better price! Comfortable straps, fits my petite shoulder width, and you can wear it on your front or your back! Baby loves it! 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!!" — Megan
17. 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!
Walmart
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." — Melanie
18. A Little Remedies new baby essentials kit to stock up on all the over-the-counter helpers you can before cold and flu season rears its head again. I LOVE Little Remedies and still use their stuff on my 4-year-old.
Walmart
This kit includes saline nasal spray and saline drops, a nasal aspirator, baby gas relief drops, infant fever and pain relief with acetaminophen, gripe water for babies, Boudreaux's Butt Paste maximum strength diaper rash cream, and baby ointment.
19. A Fisher-Price portable travel play space with a dome shade and a surprising amount of room for your little one to snooze and play given how easy it is to bring along on all your outings.
Walmart
20. 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.
Walmart
21. A stain-treating spray you'll want to keep on hand during the baby years and beyond for its amazing stain-fighting power against spilled food, spit up, and mud.
Walmart
22. A Gerber grocery cart cushion perfect for your next in-person Walmart trip so your little sidekick can come along on your bargain-hunting adventures.
Walmart
23. A baby car camera even the Spy Kids would envy for how efficient and affordable it is. No more awkwardly angling your rearview mirror to try and catch a quick glimpse of your snoozing (or squalling) baby: Just position the camera on your dashboard for easy and safe viewing (when stopped, of course).
24. A Frida Baby 4-in-1 bathtub so you don't have to worry about cleaning out your sink or baby-proofing your bathtub in order to give your little a wash. This grows from newborn to up to 24 months and the sling is machine-washable! Wins all around.
Walmart
Promising reviews:"The bathtub is wonderful. Love how you can use the adjustments. Baby likes it too." — Donna
" All around great product for newborn to comfortable tub-sitter age." — Samantha
Price: $49.97
25. 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!)
Walmart
26.
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.
27. A Bluey and Bingo cookbook to help get your kids psyched about helping out in the kitchen. This has 13 recipes including Chile and Bingo's omelet, Shadowlands cupcakes, and Nana's ice blocks! If you've got a picky eater, sometimes getting them involved in the kitchen can get them excited to try new foods.
Walmart
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!" — Maverick
Price: $9.14
28. A pair of noise reduction ear muffs that'll cut back on the noise in your little's ears by 23 decibels and help muffle loud travel sounds whether they're awake or asleep.
Walmart
Promising review:"These worked great for my 2-month-old. The headband part adjusts nicely, and the headphones cover the ears well. Plus, they are super cute." — Julie
Price: $15.29 (available in three colors)
29. A Welly First Aid Kit to give you peace of mind for any bumps and ouchies that your baby might get on the go. The colorful (and secure) bandages are so cute that you should be prepared for your kiddo to request more than one for ~aesthetic~ reasons.
Walmart
Promising review:"Love the designs and organization. It's got a little of everything, which is perfect for our little boy." — Kelly
Price: $33.77
30. A Munchkin portable UV light sanitizer because you know the second you find the dirtiest floor, that pacifier is going down. This will have your binky sanitized and ready to go again in just under a minute!
Walmart
Price: $25.93 (originally $29.95)
