Because parenting is hard enough without endless doom-comment scrolling to see what actually works. These are all straight-up winners.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

My partner and I fight over who gets to scrub our kid now, thanks to how nice this smells. Yes, I'm serious. Yes, I usually win. We love ALL of Dabble & Dollops offerings, so be sure to check out their whole line of gentle bath care goodies. 

Promising reviews: "Fun addition to Disney trip toiletries bag." —anonymous 

Promising review: "Originally had a regular Hatch, loved it so much we bought this for our room. Well, it's now the one we use in the nursery. Love how easy it is to read the clock at night, with different light and sound options. Came with six months of Hatch subscription for free, which gives guides for sleep training and naps, etc. Huge fan!!! Love that you can make a schedule to keep on track and help him wind down, sleep, and wake on time. I can also tell the functions will be easy for him to use on his own as he gets older. The child-lock option in the app is also incredible. Can't say enough good things!" —Jessica

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. 

Promising reviews: "Works great for what we needed it for!" —Janet

"My bedroom is on the opposite side of the house, so this comes in real handy. I am glad I purchased it." —Leah

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

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

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

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

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

Promising reviews: "The auto cycle works well. Pushing the on/off button automatically sterilizes and dries the bottles. Very easy to use with large capacity." —Katrina

"The bottle sterilizer has so many functions and I use them all. Not only does it do its job of sterilizing but you can also warm up or thaw breast milk." —Fatima

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

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

Price: $34.95+ (available in 23 colors/patterns)

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

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!!" —TaAaliyah

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

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

Promising review: "This sanitizer is really light and easy to use. It comes really handy especially when your traveling and are trying to keep your baby as safe as possible. I love that it does not require chemicals and the pacifier smell as really clean, no rubbery smell. It could also be use with the bottle nipples. One of the features that i love the most is that it could be use with batteries or usb cable." —Luz

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 had known about this style with my previous kids." —sande276
