Never hand wash bottles or pump parts again!! 🥳🤩🙌🏼

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "This is my third Hatch, which already says a lot. We have one at home, one at my parents’ place for sleepovers, and I just bought this one for our newest baby’s room. We started using it when our first was a newborn, and it quickly became part of our daily rhythm. The sound quality is excellent (not tinny or harsh like some others), and the range of white noise and ambient sounds actually makes a difference in helping our baby settle and stay asleep. It creates a really consistent sleep environment, which I’ve found is key. The light feature is just as useful. It’s soft, customizable, and perfect for middle of the night feeds or diaper changes without fully waking the baby (or yourself). I especially love being able to adjust both brightness and color. I'm absolutely convinced that the consistent use of the light/sound combos helped sleep train our first baby and will no doubt help in the process of sleep training our next. Would highly recommend." —Yulim Heo

This bassinet comes with the mattress and sheets and the whole pad is washable.

Yes, yes, yes, I know the Snoo is all the rage, but frankly I was not interested in shelling out over $1,500 on something my baby will use for like six months?! I don't even wanna spend that much on a bed for myself that I would use for years. This Newton version was the best choice for me because it is much more affordable and I like the fact that the side goes down so you can easily reach in and grab your baby when you need. And no, this one doesn't rock your baby to sleep, but I've seen conflicting research about that because a lot of babies have a harder time transitioning to a traditional crib when the time comes because that doesn't move and they are used to it. This is a great option for me and I love that it is designed to be extremely breathable and has mesh sides so you can always see your baby inside.

Promising reviews: "Such a high quality and beautiful bassinet. We have gotten so much use out of it as a bedside sleeper, a travel crib, and currently use it for our 6-month-old as a 'kitchen bassinet' when we have to set him down to get things done. Highly recommend!" —Nicole Roggow

"This exceeded expectations. My baby is large and grew out of her other bassinet too quickly. She has so much more room in this and the mattress pad is extra breathable so it gives me peace of mind. Love this bassinet so much. You can tell it was made well." —britnee paredes

Promising review: "As a speech language pathologist I knew I had to have this portable high chair because of one key feature, the adjustable footrest! It is such a game changer compared to other high chairs like it. Babies need to follow the 90/90/90 rule when sitting upright during meals and this chair gives me that peace of mind. Also an added bonus is that it’s so cute! The sage color is my favorite and we have gotten so many compliments on it so far when we take it out and about to restaurants. Definitely recommend purchasing!" —Lalo I.

Get it from Lalo for $89.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I ordered this with low hopes because I feel like stroller cup holders are always so flimsy. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this cup holder! You can attach it to any bar, no matter the direction it goes, as it is adjustable. It was easy to attach. It holds my large 42-ounce cup with no problem. I do have to remove my wallet from my phone to put in the phone compartment. I'll be ordering another for our leisure stroller!" —Jeanette Rojas

Get it from Amazon for $8.09+ (available in 13 colors, double cupholder versions, and two-packs).

Maybe I'm just naive but before getting pregnant I had zero idea babies slept in a swaddle like this. I thought we were either wrapping them up in a large blanket-like swaddle or just letting them be free. This brand was recommended to me by a few people because it's on the more affordable side and has different configurations for babies who like to sleep in different positions. You can have both arms in, one arm in and one out, or both arms out, which is a great option for when your baby is starting to roll and needs to have their arms free for safety. There's also a zipper that starts on the bottom so you can still change their diaper in the night without having to fully unwrap and rewrap them each time.

Promising review: "This sleep sac is very well made with adorable patterns and incredibly soft fabric. It keeps our baby warm and cozy, and the material is sturdy enough to gently hold his arms in place without waking him. Since we started using these, he’s been sleeping so much better and rarely wiggles his arms free. Highly recommend for better sleep and peace of mind!" —GC

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes and 17 designs).

Promising review: "My baby is 2-months-old and has been suffering from cradle cap. I didn’t want to pick it out. So I ordered this product. When i tell you it took EVERYTHING out and DIDN’T take out his hair! I’m VERY APPRECIATIVE!" —Ahonesty

Promising review: "Love this stroller as we transition to using it with our son ahead of welcoming our baby in a couple of months. As someone who walks 5+ miles a day with the stroller, I needed something sturdy and easy to push that handled well. It's been great so far!" —lyss_palmquist

Get it from Bugaboo for $2,169 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "These are amazing. They have helped so much with the toy clutter. I have one in each child's room and one in our loft/living space. The kids can easily clean up and the toys end up in the right location. I love this!" —DeborahB

Get it from Amazon for $45.11+ (available in nine styles). 

It can even work on grass, blood, oil, and other stubborn stains.

Promising review: "So I am a mom of a nourished, happy, almost 9-month-old boy.... Who has given us more than our fair share of mustard yellow to orange, bright breast milk diaper blowouts? Let me tell you, they make one heck of a stain. I had Resolve stain remover and Honest Company stain remover... A stain still remained after using and scrubbing. This stuff, Grandma’s Secret, WORKS. What I do is rinse the clothing of any remaining 'residue,' spray with Grandma's Secret, scrub it in a bit, let it sit for a few minutes, and either I’ll rinse it out after or it may sit for a day or so before going through the wash, but either way, STAIN IS GONE!" —Mellisa B.

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes and various multi-packs). 

Promising review: "This nasal aspirator is definitely worth the money. I haven’t had as much luck with others as I’ve had with this one. It has a powerful suction to get those hard to reach boogers, and the best part in my opinion is the mask that you can put over their mouth and nose and have mist coming out of it. That really helps loosen everything up. I’d recommend this to any parents looking for a good aspirator!" —J. Resendiz

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This product is a life hack for new mothers, especially if you are bottle feeding or have pump parts to wash! So easy to use, clean, and collapses to store under the sink. I like how I can collect all of the bottle and pump parts in the basin throughout the day, wash them separately from the everyday dishes, and store when finished. It’s the perfect size, a good price, and does its job. A must-buy!" —Linds

Get it from Amazon for $15.90+ (available in five colors and a two-pack).

UnbuckleMe is a family-owned small business that specializes in car seat accessories.

This is also great for anyone with long nails or hand weakness!

Promising review: "I think I saw this product first being advertised on TikTok, so I bought it because my 4-year-old is really independent and was always trying to buckle and unbuckle her car seats by herself, but obviously having a difficult time. She loves being able to do this independently. Also, I was thinking about my mother, who has arthritis, and how this is gonna be so helpful for her, too. I would recommend 10/10; I think this product is amazing." —Mary

Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99 (available in five color combos). 

Promising review: "My 10-month-old loves to feed himself finger foods but I hate putting food directly on restaurant tables. He tends to throw/knock over plates so I wanted to try this as another option... and we love them! They stick to the table and cover the entire area in front of him so that I can place pieces of food on there. Then when the meal is over, I simply pull the cover up and the mess on the table is contained. Very simple and makes life much easier. Highly recommend!" —Jen ECC

Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $25 (design can vary).

Note: The version linked below is only compatible with the Tripp Trapp high chair. Be sure to select the high chair you have on the product page to make sure it works!

Promising reviews: "I cannot adequately express how necessary this product is. We originally purchased a mat to go under the high chair, but then we were still picking up food from the floor, and it still required us to move the mat after every meal to wipe it. The Catchy makes it so easily wipeable, and we don't need to remove it every time." —Lauren Reed

"This has been the one item that we are constantly getting complimented on when people come over. It's so, so easy to put together and even easier to clean. It saves our rug from food that my toddler throws or pushes off her high chair tray. It also provides a nice shelf for my dog to eat all the discarded food from." —Bianca

Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in four colors and versions for 14 different high chair models).

Promising review: "We have been using ergoPouch since our baby was born last year in August. It was time to upgrade to a sleep suit as he is very mobile now! He is able to climb down off the bed and walk, even if the legs are a little longer at the moment. I think he was pretty excited at his new found mobility in sleep, now that his legs are separated!! I honestly don’t think he sleeps the same when not in a ergoPouch. I sure know they help me." —Brodie L.

Get it from ergoPouch for $64.95+ (available in four sizes, four TOG levels, and six designs).

Promising review: "Such a TIME SAVER! Omg, I’m OBSESSED with this product! It lets me cut grapes and olives for my toddler EFFORTLESSLY. Amazing product. DEFINITELY worth the purchase, especially for me, since my daughter loves to eat grapes daily and most of the time more than once a day. This has made it so easy, my husband and I almost cried, hahaha." —Makeda

Promising reviews: "These are a game changer! Worth the purchase. Our newborn pees and poops so much that we had to constantly change the reusable changing pads. These disposable pads hold up great, don’t leak through and are a good size for a changing table." —Olivia Dodrill

"These are perfect for on the go use. I have definitely been caught off guard with pee in the middle of a diaper change and these absorb really well. Better than the changing mats because although waterproof, they don't absorb so it just runs everywhere. I even use them on our home changing table just in case of an accident. Also, really good for changing a poopy diaper to make sure nothing gets on your changing pad. You can just roll everything up in it when you're done and dispose. They are a good size as well to make sure you have everything covered and contained." —Davena C.

Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life.

Promising review: "I saw this on Shark Tank as I was sitting with a glass of wine in my hand and had just taken an Advil to relieve the kink in my back from carrying my 25-pound little one around — I bought it immediately! It’s been great! Easy to use once you adjust it a few times for fit and comfort. Certainly much better on the back than the Mommy hip shelf. I use it daily as we go on walks. When she gets tired and wants to be carried, I can just sit her right on and go. Plus, it’s got handy storage pockets for the phone and snacks, and doggie poops bags for our four-legged family member. Highly recommended for those who have a toddler who wants to walk but not at the endurance level yet to make it the whole way!" —wildcatsarahj

Get it from Amazon for $67.99+ (available in five colors). 

The set comes with locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.

Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push-down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds; the bracket means they line up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door so the dog stays out of the trash, so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." —Joseph J. Krakker

Promising review: "Love love love this stuff! We use it every night after our baths. I got the big tube so that I can use it too! A little goes a long way and I love the naturally light oatmeal scent the frangrance-free one has." —Erin M.

Get it from Tubby Todd from $15+ (available in six quantities and two scents).

As you can imagine, babies' skin is sensitive, and there are soooo many different ointments and treatments out there, it can be hard to know. I think I'm drawn to this for a few reasons: I personally use Aquaphor products and love them so I have experience with them and feel comfortable with them, it has sooo many different uses so I can just have one product on hand instead of a bunch of different ones, and it's pretty cheap (especially compared to other products) and comes in a hefty size so you won't have to constantly buy refills.

Promising reviews: "This has been the ONLY thing to help clear my newborn’s diaper rash! Even other Aquaphor products did not help. This stuff really works! So happy!" —KC

"I can't recommend Aquaphor enough! It's been a lifesaver for my baby's delicate skin. Whenever I've tried other products, my little one ended up with diaper rash and discomfort. But with Aquaphor, his skin stays moisturized and nourished. It's truly the best." —Rosa

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has this and says, "When I had my first child I used the Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, which is absolutely fantastic, but still had to hand wash and scrub the bottles before popping them into the machine. This new FANTASTIC model takes that completely out of the equation. I got it before having my daughter and it has truly changed my life — not an exaggeration. I haven't used a bottle brush ONCE and she's almost 8-months-old! It has six different cleaning modes, but I always use the 88-minute one that does all three features. The only somewhat downside is you'll need to purchase detergent tablets, but I promise you it's worth it. 

Here's what you'll need to do: fill the front partition of the machine with your bottles/nipples (or pump parts, whatever) and drop the detergent tablet into the bottom. Next, empty any water from previous cycles from the water basin and replace it back in the machine. Finally, fill the top container with clean (I used filtered) water up to the max line mark, then pop that back in as well. Choose which cycle you want to run and, BOOM, you're done! The whole water dumping/refilling process probably takes about...... five minutes? It is a bit bulky, so rather than keep ours in the kitchen we leave on top of our washing machine. It's also worth noting it holds four bottles at once, so we typically need to run it twice a day. TL;DR: It's a miracle machine."

Promising review: "Granted, I did NOT want to spend this much on a toddler tower, but it's amazing. I love that it can be folded away and set up was so easy. The kids loooove it, can help cook and 'clean dishes.' The adjustable height and the grip on the bottom are amazing! I never worry when they are in it, and it is very easy to wipe clean. Definitely worth it." —Madison Owens

I feel like there's a trend out there of creating diaper carts with all the essentials you'd need throughout the day, but I couldn't have one of those cause I live in a three-story townhouse and I'm not about to be lugging a cart up and down the stairs. This was great option for me cause it has a bunch of different sections and pockets where I can store different items and know where they all are without just having them thrown into a center section and having to dig around to find what I need.

Promising reviews: "Perfect for bedside changes in the newborn phase. After we needed it in our room, we transitioned it to storage in our kids room and it’s great. Multipurpose!" —Nicolette

"I got this for my friend as a baby shower gift. I had received one myself for my own baby. My baby is now nine months old and I still use it. It’s great to be able to just grab this caddy and have everything you need. I’d even fit my Stanley Cup in it, snacks, and whatever else I needed. I love the little side pockets it has as well. My friend also said that she loves hers!" —Josh & Kelsie

Get it from Amazon for $19.45+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

Many new parents become stressed about their baby losing or gaining weight, so this is a great way to be able to keep track of that and make sure they are staying on track. 

Promising review: "The Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale is a fantastic addition to our nursery! It combines a comfortable changing pad with a built-in scale, making it easy to monitor our baby’s growth. The app integration is seamless, providing real-time data and tracking. The design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly into our nursery decor. Highly recommend for any new parent looking for convenience and peace of mind!" —Kevin

The set comes with three soft attachments for kids and three additional attachments for adults!

Promising review: "I didn’t even try using regular clippers for my newborn cause I was so nervous — these make nail trimming nerve-free! Love that even if I miss the nail there is no pain when it touches skin. My baby is so content whenever I trim his nails (and he loves to get fussy whenever he can — lucky me). I plan to get this as a baby gift for anyone I know who is expecting!" —AlyssaP

It includes a lightweight car seat that works for babies 4–30 pounds so you can pop them on the stroller if you need a quick transfer from the car.

Promising review: "Been using the Turn and Go 360-degree Rotating Modular Travel System stroller since day one, and it really has been the best stroller I have ever purchased! It's made traveling alone so easy for me. Very easy to open and close! 360 feature is just .👌🏻" —Elyy27
