Sink Basin

In those early postpartum days, this sink basin proved to be a true workhorse. With the unexpected need to exclusively pump for the first three weeks, it became indispensable for managing the constant stream of bottles and pump parts. I appreciate that it keeps our baby's dishes separate from ours, providing a dedicated space for soaking until we can tackle them. Our sterilizer also deserves an honorable mention—it's still in daily use.

BabyBjorn Bouncer

While it may be a bit on the pricier side, our BabyBjorn bouncer has earned its keep by being used daily. Unlike the swing, which went untouched, our little one enjoys sitting in the bouncer while I prepare meals or fold laundry. It's the perfect spot for him to observe our activities and interact with us, even if only for short periods. Here is a more budget-friendly option.

Skip Hop Wipeable Changing Pad

Transitioning to the nursery, we've become obsessed with this wipeable changing pad from Skip Hop. Offering a more affordable alternative to the well-known Keekaroo, it's a game-changer when it comes to messy diaper changes. Instead of adding more laundry to our never-ending list of chores, we simply wipe it clean and move on.

Ubbi Changing Mat

Featuring a yoga-mat-like texture, this changing pad has become a staple in our household. Its compact fold and wipeable material make it ideal for quick diaper changes, whether we're at home or on the go. We keep one downstairs in our diaper caddy for easy access, and it's perfect for tossing into the car or diaper bag when needed.

Car Camera

Initially, I brushed off the idea of a car camera, believing the regular mirror was sufficient and not wanting cords cluttering up my car. However, the moment my son entered the picture, reality hit hard—I could barely see him in the mirror, especially at night. That's when we decided to give the car camera a try, and it's been a game-changer. Despite the cords, its benefits far outweigh any inconvenience. I particularly appreciate its windshield suction feature, a must-have for me as I didn't want a projectile resting on my dashboard.

Wet Bags

Sometimes, it's the simplest things that become lifesavers. Wet bags have been one of our most-used products over the past three months. We always keep them in the diaper bag, and whenever we're out and about—whether it's dealing with a car seat blowout, a sudden projectile vomit incident in a restaurant, or a little pee mishap—dirty or wet clothes go straight into the wet bag. When we return home, we just dump the contents into the washing machine. No more scrambling for plastic bags or worrying about soiling the rest of the diaper bag—this idea gets a solid 10/10 from us!
