Emma Lord: "I live in a tiny NYC apartment, so making space on the counter for this was a gamble, but oh my STARS, I would have been lost without it. As a first-time, very anxious solo mom who was deeply overwhelmed by the number of bottles my VERY HUNGRY late-term preemie went through, I was both on high alert about everything being perfectly sterilized and also the amount of upkeep bottles took. This bottle washer made everything a breeze. As soon as I hit four bottles, I just filled up the reservoir tank, plopped the bottles in with one of the detergent tablets, and watched all the bottles magically get taken care of in an hour without the hullabaloo of running the dishwasher or boiling water on the stove. I adore mine so much that I put stickers all over it to express my undying gratitude." Price: $224.99 (originally $299.99; available in two finishes) — and shop all the Momcozy deals here Natalie Brown: This is the formula we used when our toddler was a baby; if you're formula-feeding and use this formula, you know this is a great price. Promising review: "I have this through subscription, it's so convenient! Not only do I not have to wait for someone to unlock these from a case, but by the time I’m running low on formula, a new batch automatically comes. I wish I had known about the price difference when I started giving formula 8 months ago. I would’ve started my subscription earlier." —Destno Price: $123.42 for three cans (clip the coupon on the page to get this price; originally $170.84; this is a Prime-exclusive deal) — shop all the Similac formula deals Emma Lord: I have a different version of this for my son, and I am OBSESSED with it. I used it as a bassinet and diaper changing table when we visited my parents and he was super teensy, and stationed it next to my bed. Now that he's older, I like to use it as the "naptime bed" — he still sleeps in the same room as me at night, so if I put him in the pack and play in the other room, I can still have access to my bedroom so I can clean and work. Anyway, DO NOT HESITATE, I promise there's a scenario where you'll need this, and it might never be this cheap again!! Promising review: "I watch my grandchild (who is three months old) twice a week and bought this to have at my house. It’s very convenient. It’s actually pretty cute and very useful. I have a feeling I’m going to get a lot of use out of it in the next couple of years. It has a little changing table part that you can snap on top." —oceanmi Price: $117.32 (typically $199.99; only on sale in the gray color) — and check out all the other Pamo Babe deals here! The kit comes with a sandwich bag, a snack bag, a stand-up bag, and a 2-cup "bowl" bag. Natalie Brown: I have had some since about 2016 and they still work like they're brand new. Yes, I dishwash them all the time, too! I have one of the bowl bags I stick in my purse for leftovers at restaurants, and it works like a charm. Promising review: "Love these bags and lids! The quality does not compare to all other brands out there. Been trying to remove plastics from my home and it’s near impossible. The bags are pricey but well worth it. These will last for years as they are thick and seal well. Easy to hand-wash or stick in the dishwasher. Plenty of sizes and versatile for the fridge, freezer, or microwave. Definitely would recommend if you want a quality product." —Mt Price: $33.47 (originally $57.99; this is a Prime-exclusive deal, non-Prime members can get it for $35.34) — find Stasher's featured deals here Natalie Brown: We bought this car seat during Prime Day back when we moved to the suburbs and got a car, and it's been *remarkably* easy to use. I've installed it both with the seatbelt and the easy-latch system with no problems. As our kiddo has grown from a baby into a toddler, we've simply raised the back and extended the front foot panel to keep him comfortable and safe. And we have many more years ahead with it — it works for kids up to 65 pounds! Promising review: "Easy to install, great quality, cute design, my daughter loves it, and it is the perfect size. The latch is great; her other car seat dug into her neck, and this one doesn’t at all. It is perfect for safety and comfort. All around super happy over this car seat 💯 recommend for anyone needing a new car seat." —Michael Cross Price: $167.99 (originally $239.99; available in three colors) — and shop all the Graco deals here Natalie Brown: Granted, we needed the other stroller when our kiddo was a newborn and couldn't quite sit up by himself, but once he got to the point that he could, we left the other stroller at grandma's house to use there. The one-handed fold is SUCH a game-changer — like yes, convenient for travel, but don't you want that convenience literally all the time, including when you want to go for a walk around the neighborhood? I def do, and we take more walks because of it. The seat fully reclines for on-the-go naps, the basket underneath is surprisingly spacious, and the wheels have handled (easy) hikes on dirt paths just as well as sidewalks. Promising review: "We love this stroller for travel and everyday errands! It performed excellently on our recent trip to Florida. Baby was comfortable, and it folded easily with one hand for the airplane boarding process. The only con is that there is no snack tray; however, there are universal snack trays available for purchase on Amazon." —Tess Price: $151.39+ (originally $189.99; on sale in two colorways) Check out a TikTok of the Mamazing travel stroller in action. Emma Lord: I used this stroller for the first time on a trip with my six-month-old and I love it so much I might cry?? First of all, this thing is so lightweight that I feel like I'm pushing air. The tread is also spectacular — I've hauled it over cement, dirt, and gravel without any issues. My son is ridiculously comfy in it thanks to the cushioning and the very well-designed canopy that blocks him from the sun. He's still a little guy who can't quite sit all on his own yet, so I really appreciate that it has an adjustable recline that was so intuitive to use that I didn't even have to read the instructions. The storage has been phenomenal for taking his diaper bag and shoving little odds and ends we collect each day. I will never go on a trip without this stroller again! Promising review: "We absolutely love this stroller. I bought a different one to compare and settled on this one. Wheels were great in Europe, even on cobblestone. Easy to travel with and carry. There is a small zipper pocket on the back, and the bottom storage is good enough to put a big diaper bag. Had an issue I wasn’t happy with on the latch, and product support quickly sent me a replacement. I would recommend it to everyone and will buy again if this wears out." —Jasmine Price: $179.99+ (typically $249+; available in three styles) Rebecca O'Connell: I have the safari one, and I'm full of regret that I didn't see this moon version — it's so cute! I'll survive because my play mat is still amazing. Skip Hop makes really high-quality, super-adorable play gyms that survive washing and baby gnawing. Highly recommend! When not in use, the arches collapse for easy storage. Promising review: "It’s so big, comfy, fluffy, and gorgeous! It’s very much worth the price I paid for it. It can totally be used as a rug once the baby has outgrown it. It’s that nice. The toys that come with it are also very cute and of nice quality. The whole thing is great.10/10 absolutely in love with this celestial mat." —shannon Price: $63.99 (originally $84.99; also available in four other non-sale styles — see all Skip Hop deals here) Emma Lord: I've been using this with my baby during nap time and when he goes to bed long before I do, and it's been immensely helpful. It's super user-friendly and easy to set up, which is important to me, because technology and I are historically not friends. It also alerts me on my phone if there's a "loud noise" or if he's crying, and the portable screen that comes with the setup lights up, too. I don't use the white noise feature much, but I am obsessed with the "zoom" features — if I set up the camera, I can use the app or the connected portable screen to turn the frame right, left, up, or down, and even zoom in a ton (necessary, because I've learned being a parent just means checking if they're breathing over and over again until they're, like, thirty, I guess). I also love that there's a microphone to talk to the baby! I've only had to use it twice when I couldn't get to my little guy right away when he was crying, and it was both sweet and hilarious. He stopped crying and was like "WHAT ON EARTH WHERE IS MOMMY???" And TBH, I would always prefer a confused baby than a sad one. I also love that when I leave him with my mom for a few hours, I can still peek in on him from my phone and watch him sleep for a little bit, even when I'm across town!! Overall, I can't recommend this gizmo enough! Price: $169.99 (typically $259.99) — and check out all the other Eufy deals here! Natalie Brown: "We were gifted this bathtub when our son was a newborn, and it seamlessly grew with him until he was confident enough with crawling to sit in the big tub. The sling kept him comfy and supported as he could be in his itty-bittiest phases, and drained well. We only used the sitting support for a couple of months as he was learning, but it’s definitely one of those baby things you still need, even if just for a short amount of time. Then, when we felt ready, we removed that and let him splash in the toddler tub. Honestly, all the pieces look completely brand new, and we’ll use them all again if we have another kiddo. Draining takes no effort — I didn’t even hang it up, just turned it over in the tub — although I did separate the insert to let everything dry thoroughly. You can’t go wrong with this simple but smart design!" Price: $34.49+ (typically $44.99; also available in sets with more accessories) — and check out all the other Fisher-Price deals here! Emma Lord: My little guy wore these on the subway, and even when the B train came screeching down the track at decibels that feel illegal, he didn't even flinch. I know these work, too, because whenever I forget he's wearing them and try to get his attention, he just stares into the abyss (very unlike my son, who is an extrovert). I also loved how easy these were to adjust to fit his head, how well they stayed put, and how comfy they were for him! He never once complained or tried to pull them off. Price: $23.99 (typically $29.99; available in nine styles) — and check out all the Alpine Hearing deals here! Emma Lord: I cannot recommend this enough for SO so so so many reasons, but I'll start with the first — my little guy was a late-term preemie and just barely five pounds when I took him home. He had all these weird preemie breathing habits that scared the heck out of me. My anxiety was through the roof, especially when I took him home, and none of my swaddles fit him without him wriggling and managing to shove his mouth and nose into the fabric. After two weeks of frantically testing swaddles, Love To Dream's preemie size was the only one that legitimately fit him well, and finally let me relax a bit — it didn't creep up his face, it was compressive enough that it was super easy for me to see him breathing, and it was super easy to slide him into it after nighttime feeds without waking him up. It remained his perfect sleep solution for months, especially as he learned to self-soothe with his hands as he got older. The other reason I recommend this? Transitioning babies out of swaddles when they get to rolling age is HARD. But Love To Dream even has transitional swaddle sacks (🚨 also on sale for 20% off right now!! 🚨) that make it easy for you to wean them off it, instead of going cold turkey like a lot of other swaddles and making nighttime feel like total chaos. My son used Love To Dream from week one all the way to month four when he started rolling, and I owe them a lot of sleep!! Price: $27.96+ (typically $34.95; available in five sizes, three fabric types, and dozens of styles) — and check out all the Love To Dream deals here! Emma Lord: When I accepted about a month into motherhood that breastfeeding wasn't going to work for me medically, my BFF sent me one of these and saved my new mom booty. My little guy was born a little early and super teensy, so he was HUNGRYYYY, and when he wanted a bottle, he wanted one NOW. His boohoos made me sad as his mother and nervous as an apartment-dweller with many neighbors, so it was an absolute boon to have milk on demand so so so fast without having to scoop and measure water by hand and wait for the bottle to heat up. It's very easy to use and easy to clean, and really comes in handy now that he's in daycare and I have to prep several bottles at once! Natalie Brown: We used this too and swear by it for making formula. We used the premade stuff before switching to this, which saved us SO much money. I second everything Emma says about how easy it is to use and clean, and it's an essential for anyone bottle-feeding! Price: $183.99 (typically $229) — and check out all the other Baby Brezza deals here! Emma Lord: My sister-in-law gifted this to us when an extra came for her kiddo, who is around the same age as mine. My little guy LOVES this thing. He either likes to use the top as a teether or a makeshift pacifier (he's not coordinated enough to stick his own paci in his mouth yet), or he likes to bite the little arms to help his two new teeth feel better. Also, as a millennial who can't afford to buy a house because I "bought too much avocado toast," I find this to be a very darling and cheeky little toy for our kids to have. Price: $6.15 (typically $7.99) — and check out all the other ChooKaChoo deals here! Emma Lord: My son's hands were in "mitten jail" for like the first two or three months of his life because, like all babies, he was born with TALONS, and like all babies, he yearned to scratch his perfect little face with them. His hands were so teensy weensy that the idea of getting near them with a clipper made me way too nervous. I loved this nail file for quietly and easily trimming them down without worrying about hurting him! He never noticed or cared, and I had peace of mind. I use a small nail clipper now that he's older just to save time, but I still use this to round the edges of his nails, since they can be sneakily sharp even after cutting. Price: $19.99 (typically $24.99) — and shop all the MomCozy deals here! Emma Lord: I had this on hand, like the cliche overprepared first-time mom I am, but I'm so glad I did. When my son was born, he was soooooo so little, and he HATED diaper changes. The instant a cold wipe hit him in the hospital, he would howl like I'd dropped him in an ice bath. Once we got home and I set up the wipe warmer, he was much more chill during that part of the diaper change, and it felt like there was less disruption during the nighttime cycles of wake-feed-change-sleep. I didn't end up needing warm wipes by the time he was eight weeks old or so, when he stopped caring, but it was so worth having during that time! Price: $31.90 (typically $39.99; available in three colors and three sizes) — and check out the rest of Momcozy's deals here! Natalie Brown: Like I said above, we've had this for nearly two years, and despite what feels like thousands of diaper changes — including many that got kinda messy — it still looks brand new. I *heart* the versatility too; after we moved and needed a different furniture arrangement, it made it easy to adapt to the new setup. I typically wipe clean with a baby wipe, then occasionally sanitize. The foam feels cushion-y enough that I've never worried about my baby's comfort, and the mobile's collapsible. It's long enough that our 90th-percentile-height kiddo still fits on it fine! Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing — we still use it with my 17-month-old, and in fact, we just ordered a second one for our downstairs changing area when my daughter grew out of the one attached to a Pack n Play. It’s so easy to wipe down, and it’s nicely padded to ensure comfort. We lay a burp cloth down to make sure the surface isn’t chilly on our little one’s back, which is so much easier to change out than styles with covers. It’s also got a decently long surface, making it still useful as our daughter gets taller. We did use the mobile element when she was little, but took it off once she started sitting up." —ECM Price: $71.99 (originally $89.99; available in one on-sale color) — and see all the Skip Hop deals here. Rebecca O'Connell: I have to admit I actually hated these when I first got them. The parts felt flimsy — and so many of them! I was handwashing 12 parts and then meticulously wiping every water drop off them before reassembling (the suction doesn't work if they're wet). Eight times a day! Finally, I realized I could keep the pumps assembled in the fridge and just wash the parts once a day. Since then, they've really grown on me. It's been six months of constant use, and everything is still going strong. I pre-emptively ordered replacement diaphragms, but haven't needed them yet. I love that I can just pop them into a sturdy nursing bra and go about my day. The motor is loud, but not deafening. They fit fairly comfortably. The suction is powerful, but not painful. I like that they come with a charging travel case, so I don't have to worry about going on vacation. All in all, definitely worth considering if you'd like to multitask! Price: $259.99 (typically $314.99) — although your insurance may cover your first pump, so only get this if you want a second pump / already have one through insurance! Rebecca O'Connell: I tried popping one of these teethers in my 5-month-old baby's mouth like a pacifier, and he wasn't into it. Instead, he likes to hold the bristled section and gnaw on the silicone caterpillar loop. He loves these mushies so much, I make sure I always have at least two on hand when we leave the house. Promising review: "This teether has been such a lifesaver during the teething stage. The soft silicone is gentle on my baby’s gums, and the little massaging bristles seem to really help soothe discomfort. I love that it’s lightweight and easy for tiny hands to hold on their own, plus the pacifier-style design keeps it from constantly getting dropped. It’s also super easy to clean." —Kylie Price: $7.99+ (originally $9.99+; available in two pack sizes and four colorways — see all Razbaby deals here) Natalie Brown: At first, he liked knocking down the stacks I made, and once he got older, he would carefully take them apart one cup at a time (most of the time; sometimes there's still an epic tower topple). They're soft, so when they fall, they don't make a loud noise or have the potential to bonk anyone's head. They have holes in them, so you could take them into the bathtub and the beach. Sometimes I put Cheerios in them too, for fun! Promising review: "I bought these for my 1-year-old as a new toy for a trip with several plane rides. It was a hit! Since it is made of silicone, I did not have to worry about loud sounds that would distract other passengers, and they didn’t slide around on the tray tables. Both my toddlers enjoyed stacking and sorting things (like pom poms) with these cups. Since they are made of food-grade silicone, I saved the bigger cups to hold snacks on the plane (but also brought pacifier wipes to clean them if needed). They are super easy to clean when you arrive at your destination and can be used in the bath or at the pool/beach. I now recommend these to all my friends traveling with young toddlers!" —M Price: $12.33 (originally $15.99; available in two colorways) — and check out all the Moonkie Prime Day deals here —TikTok Products That Are Worth The Hype *And* On Sale For Fall Prime Day —Our Top Picks After Covering Prime Day For 11(!!)
