Six years ago, I published my first “Baby Must-Haves” blog post and have so much more to say/add now! Luckily, almost every single thing from that list remains on this list but I have so many more things that I believe are absolute staples for us + our newborns. Here is my list.

  1. Baby Aquaphor – just for everything. Everything.
  2. Ergobaby Omni 360 – carriers are a must with newborns! Babywearing is my favorite part of having little babies. Also love the Wildbird, Solly Baby, and I am going to be trying an Artipoppe one with baby #3. If you want $50 off your Artipoppe, email me!
  3. Gathre Changing Mat – we love having these on hand for diaper changes on the go.
  4. Uppababy Vista Stroller – this stroller has been amazing for us. Get it with your first! We bought this PIGGYBACK RIDE ALONG BOARD to ride on when we had our third and it’s so great.
  5. Muslin Burp Cloths – we go through these like crazy.
  6. Ubbi Diaper Pail – this is the one we use. I’m sure others are great too!
  7. Diaper bag – this is such a beautiful, timeless bag. Definitely on the more expensive side but we love our MZ Wallace backpack as our diaper bag!
  8. Zoe Double Stroller – use THIS LINK for a discount on this stroller. This is for when your baby has a little better head control but it is AMAZING! We love it so much. PERFECT for traveling!
  9. Stroller Fan – having a baby in the summer… this is a must-have! We will also put it in the car if they’re reverse facing still.
  10. Uppababy Mesa Infant Car Seat – this car seat clips right into the Uppababy Vista Stroller.
  11. Oogie Bear Nose Cleaner – this is AMAZING to clean out baby ears. Soo satisfying too.
  12. NoseFridaso satisfying to clean out their noses with this thing
  13. Dockatot – we loooove the Dockatot for the newborn phase. They hardly sell them anymore which is too bad because we absolutely love these
  14. Hatch Rest + Sound Machine – we love these sound machines for our kids rooms.
  15. Baby Bum Brush – a game-changer putting diaper ointment on your baby!
  16. Rosamae Baby Essentials – I absolutely LOVE these diaper changing clutches! I always have one in my purse. Use code OLIVIA10 for a discount.
  17. Boon Drying Rack – this is what we use to dry all of our bottles after we wash them
  18. Baby Wooden Brush – love combing cute little baby heads with this.
  19. Bath Kneeling Mat – I couldn’t imagine bathing my kids without this haha. Protect those knees!
  20. Slumberpod – these are just life-changing. Especially if you’re traveling or room-sharing! Use OLIVIABETH for a discount!
  21. Swaddle – these are hands down our favorite swaddles. They zip and velcro and you can wrap the babies up so tight!
  22. Tubby Todd Everything – honestly, just everything TT is great. We love it all! Especially the All Over Ointment! Use THIS LINK for a discount!
  23. Angelcare Bath Tub – perfect to put in the tub for your tiny babies!
  24. Babybjorn Travel Crib – this travel crib is SO SLIM AND LIGHT! Game changer for traveling. We love it.

Pumping Must Haves!

  1. Liquid Gold – I take two of these with each meal to help increase my milk supply!
  2. MomCozy Freezer Milk Bags – what I use to store any extra pumped milk
  3. NUK Simply Natural Bottles – the twins will only drink out of these bottles. The most similar to a nipple in my opinion!
  4. Pumping Bra – I am pumping exclusively with the twins so I put this on every three hours haha
  5. MomCozy Milk/Bottle Warmer – we will use this to warm up any frozen milk we’ve had stored
  6. Medela Hand Pump – so great when you’re on the go. If I don’t use the Medela, I love my Elvies too for hands-free!
  7. Spectra Pump – I bought this pump with the twins and SO WISH I bought this portable one. Worth every extra dime in my opinion!!! You could pump anywhere without plugging it in. Really regret not buying this one. But the Spectra pump is amazing
  8. Reusable Nursing Pads – these are for if you milk comes in and don’t want to leak through your shirt. I love that they’re reusable too!
  9. Nipple Balm – I put this on every single time I pump. Makes it so much more comfortable in my opinion!

Also, I NEED to include the BABY BREZZA! Sometimes if I don’t pump enough milk and we need something quick, we will use the Baby Brezza to whip up some formula and it is INCREDIBLE!!! If your kids are formula-fed, you save so much time not waiting for the water to be the right temperature. This does it all for you! UNREAL.

And that’s all for now! Let me know if you have any specific questions about any items!
