1. A top-notch muslin swaddle that’ll quickly become your daily go-to throughout your baby’s swaddling phase, and (if your household is anything like mine) you'll find *countless* more uses beyond that! I've repurposed swaddles as burp cloths, stroller covers, picnic mats, fort building material, nursing shields... you name it. The light fabric and generous size make it, in my opinion, an incredibly adaptable baby must-have.
2. A pair of sock sneakers with rubber soles designed for those eager little ones who want to run before they can walk. These adorable pull-on shoes are a breeze to put on—no laces, no fuss, saving parents from the tantrums we all know too well. Plus, they come with real soles, offering that extra grip for babies learning to stay steady on their feet.
3. A highly durable tentacle teether featuring a playful yet practical design that will surprisingly work wonders when you give it a try. The long, curved form allows babies to reach further back, offering soothing relief to a larger surface area than typical teethers. The "suction cups" have the perfect texture to massage sore gums, and the tentacle itself is hollow, making it lightweight and easy for little hands to grasp, though it can also be worn on your finger—just for fun!
4. An Ergobaby carrier designed with enhanced lumbar support and a *fantastic* breathable design. This parenting essential will ensure both you and your little one stay comfortable during outings — up until they reach 45 lbs!
5. A Snoo, the award-winning bassinet developed by pediatricians that quickly becomes a trusted companion. It's designed to detect when your baby fusses at night, offering white noise and gentle rocking to lull them back to sleep. If desired, you can connect to the sleep app to monitor your baby's sleep cycle. The app will also notify you if your baby can’t be soothed by the bassinet and needs a little human intervention.
The Snoo, developed by Dr. Harvey Karp, pediatrician and author of The Happiest Baby On The Block, holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, just thinking about this bassinet brings tears to my eyes as I write this. My daughter was just over 4lbs when she was born, and we couldn't believe we could take such a tiny baby home. As someone who’s anxious by nature, I was so thankful for a sleep system I could trust. The swaddling straps are secure, breathable, and comfortable (so I never worried about her rolling over at night). It follows the American Association of Pediatrics' safe sleep guidelines: swaddled, on their back, on a flat surface. My husband and I are still amazed by how well we slept with a newborn. I mean, I know my baby is perfect, but this bassinet *might* have played a role in that.
Oh! One more thing (sorry for the long review) – you can get a pre-owned Snoo directly from their website at a lower price, which I think is a real class act. They also offer rentals because the company understands that *everyone* deserves a good night’s sleep, even if we can’t all afford a product we’ll use for only six months. You love to see it.
Get it new from Happiest Baby for $1,695 (also available pre-owned and as a rental).
6. Or opt for a classic bedside bassinet, perfect for placing right next to your bed, keeping your baby safe and cozy *and* within arm’s reach for those late-night feedings. It comes in a variety of colors, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for quality. We CAN have it all.
7. An ergoPouch sleep sack that easily transitions from a swaddle sleep sack — with arms securely tucked in — to a toddler-friendly sleep sack as your baby grows and starts rolling over. The design ensures your baby stays safe, cozy, and (thanks to the clear TOG *thermal overall grade* ratings) at the perfect temperature throughout the night!
8. An Oxo diaper wipes dispenser that will quickly become a favorite at your changing station. The one-press opening and weighted interior allow you to grab wipes with a single hand, which is surprisingly necessary when your baby’s favorite time to squirm is while being changed on top of the dresser.
9. A stylish and spill-resistant silicone snack cup that your child can easily reach into, but *won’t* be able to pull out a bunch of snacks at once (think: one at a time). Sigh, just imagine how much cereal you’ll save with this system.
10. The Nanit Superior Sleep Set for those anxious parents ready to swap Netflix marathons for baby monitor binges, just to be certain their little one isn’t mysteriously abducted by aliens in the night. This set connects to an app, so you can check in on your child from anywhere. It also boasts two-way communication, a night-light, soothing music, and includes a motion and breathing monitor, so you’ll always know when they’re awake or just shifting around in their sleep.
11. A 360-degree spill-proof cup designed with an innovative silicone lid that allows sipping from any spot (hence the 360 name). The top is self-sealing and won’t spill on its own, unlike traditional pop-lid sippy cups. Liquid only comes out when the edge is sucked. This helps your little one learn to drink from a regular cup early on, without needing a straw. Sip, sip, hooray!
12. An automatic baby swing with a variety of rocking motions and soothing sounds (my baby loved the "road trip" option) — this swing is perfect for calming your little one when you need some extra hands. Place your baby in sight of you, and it becomes a great spot for a few minutes of baby-free tasks like laundry folding, dishwashing, or even eating... because let’s be real, two arms just aren't enough.
13. A Trip Trap High Chair from Stokke that transforms from a high chair suited for newborns to a regular chair, adjusting to your child's size as they grow. (It can hold up to 300 lbs!) Lucky for you, it’s also stylish, meaning you’ll be using this chair until your kiddo is all grown up (and likely insists on taking it with them).
14. An easy-to-clean Hatch changing pad equipped with a scale that allows you to track your baby's weight during diaper changes. I had no idea this was even a thing before becoming a parent, and trust me, after using a luggage scale on my newborn, I really wish I had this sooner. It pairs with an app on your phone, so you can record and monitor the data over time, making you look super organized at your pediatrician visits.
15.
An electric steam sterilizer and dryer that uses natural steam to sanitize your baby bottles, followed by hot, filtered air to dry them. It boasts killing 99.9% of germs while sterilizing in just six minutes! The entire sterilization process takes a mere 10 minutes with a simple push of a button. If you've ever dealt with washing baby bottles, you'll understand why this time-saving sterilizer is a total game changer!
16. A Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine that doubles as a two-way audio monitor, night-light, white noise machine, alarm clock, and sleep trainer. This cozy little gadget emits a soft red glow that’s far gentler than other bright lights, ensuring your baby won’t be fully awakened by harsh overhead lighting. Perfect for early-morning diaper changes and late-night feedings, it helps calm the whole family during those unpredictable infant hours.
17. A car baby monitor with over 14,000 5-star reviews! It lets you quickly check on your baby in the backseat without having to adjust mirrors or turn your head. Stay focused on the road while keeping an eye on your little one—always within view and safe at all times!
18. A USDA-certified organic baby healing balm made with chamomile, cocoa butter, coconut oil, calendula, and avocado oil. This soothing balm can help ease eczema, acne, cradle cap, rashes, and, let's be real, even ease unnecessary parental stress.~Stress? What stress?~
19. A bath toy thermometer that becomes an essential part of your little one's bath routine. Not only does it ensure the water temperature is safe, but it also keeps your baby’s body temperature in the safe zone. Plus, it guarantees your baby is cozy and content while learning about water and having fun splashing around.
20. The Owlet Dream Sock — a must-have gadget for tech enthusiasts. Simply place this on your baby's tiny foot during the night to track their heart rate and oxygen levels. If any reading falls outside the normal range, an alert will buzz on your phone, allowing you to quickly check on your little one.
21. The Luli Bebé travel bag (also offered in a daily use size) that will make you feel like a chic, real-life socialite. This super-luxurious duffel doubles as a diaper bag, featuring waterproof pockets and a wipeable surface. With so much room inside, you’ll have all your essentials perfectly organized in one stylish place.
I bought this diaper bag long before I even had kids, purely because I couldn’t resist it. I once traveled to Iceland for two weeks, and this was the *only* bag I took — and it fit *everything* I could possibly need. It's like it's got a little bit of Mary Poppins magic inside. Now that I have a baby? I can’t imagine using any other bag. Trust me, get it!
Promising review: "This is the bag of my dreams! It's absolutely gorgeous, and the quality is top-notch. The inside is so spacious, fitting everything I need for both me and my baby. The front pouch is secure, and it's super easy to grab items in and out. I adore the material — inside and out, it’s so easy to clean! Seriously, you *need* this bag! Don't even hesitate. Buy it, or any Luli Bebé bag. You won’t regret it!" —Hannah E.
Get it on sale from Luli Bebé for $229 (available in six colors).
22. A set of corner guards — an essential for baby-proofing sharp furniture edges, while maintaining your stylish decor. Even if you're prone to bumping into sharp corners yourself, these handy guards will save the day!
23. *The* Nurture& Glider Plus offers a luxurious, swiveling, rocking experience that has TikTok parents (and this very Mytour writer) raving. This undeniably stylish recliner is a perfect addition to any home, with its electric features that adjust the footrest, backrest, and headrest with the press of a button. Plus, the fabric is stain-resistant, and it even comes with a USB port to charge your phone while you relax. This chair is truly a must-have for anyone. And yes, *everyone* will want one.
I got this chair during my second trimester, and I honestly cried when I realized it had adjustable lumbar support. I read the entire ACOTAR series in it — we've been through so much together. The comfort level is unreal, and I firmly believe it's a crime that this is marketed just for nurseries because *everyone* should experience this chair.
Promising review: "I sit/lay on my glider every day to nurse and sleep. I exclusively breastfeed my 4-month-old, and my back and arms often ache. Thankfully, I have the world’s most comfortable glider. I tried others from Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel; they were either too narrow for sitting cross-legged or too short. Nurture& outshines them all in this price range." —Cat K.
Get it on sale from Nurture& for $1,374 (available in three colors).

This is one of those baby products that always brings tears to my eyes because my tiny 4-lb. baby came home from the hospital in it, and then it accompanied us everywhere until she outgrew it. I only wish this had existed sooner—every parent deserves something this helpful. It's a top-notch stroller, a secure car seat, and the combination is the *perfect* gift for parents.
Promising review: "This is the best infant seat ever. The Doona has made life so much simpler. With three kids, grocery shopping has never been easier thanks to the Doona. My oldest helps push the baby, leaving the car open and my hands free. I do wish it was a bit lighter, though." —Christina B.

Ideal for anyone who loves wagons but finds navigating through tight spaces like grocery aisles or sidewalks tricky. Plus, it’s easy to pull uphill or over rough terrain. This is a game-changer for family outings, and it even comes with cup holders!
I’ve never seen my husband so excited about a product for our daughter as he is about this wagon—and I’m equally impressed!

Each food item is divided into its own section in adorable triangular trays, so no more food mixing. Little Spoon knows toddlers, and they know how to avoid mealtime meltdowns before they even start.
I began feeding my daughter Little Spoon meals at 9 months, and I can confidently say it’s my top recommendation for parents who are anxious about introducing solids or for those considering baby-led weaning. Their system is foolproof for sleep-deprived parents, offering clear details on allergens, nutrients, and age guidelines, so everyone can be sure about what their little one is eating. Honestly, the only downside to these meals is that they’re so delicious, I can’t help but sneak bites from my child. Ahem, frequently. Who thought it was a good idea to let me be a parent?!
Get it from Little Spoon, starting at $6.49/meal (available in various meals and different plans).
36. A Tushbaby hip carrier designed to save your back when your little one constantly demands to be carried. Reviewers rave about its comfort and are particularly impressed by the number of pockets it offers for all your essentials, including your phone, keys, and wallet.
37. A stress-reducing baby gate — this gate uses a pressure mount, meaning no need for drilling holes in your walls to secure it.

40. A 2-in-1 rocking bike from Strider that helps your baby gain confidence on a bike seat even before they can walk! It begins as a stationary "rocking horse" that stays in place while they play indoors. When they're ready, the base can be detached, transforming it into a pedal-free bike for your growing toddler!
My baby started using this at around nine months, and she's absolutely in love with it. She adores this *practical* rocking horse. I appreciate its sturdy design (her older cousin used it on our deck, and despite his wild riding, we were certain he'd flip over...but this thing held strong and kept him safe). As your child starts walking, the bike detaches from the rocking base, making it perfect for teaching balance on a bike.
Promising review: "This bike with the rocking base has been a favorite since day one! Some days he rocks, and on others, we remove it and let him ride it in the backyard! This makes learning to ride a bike a breeze!" —Tracy
Get it from Strider for $249.99 (available in eight colors).
41. A cradle cap comb designed to gently eliminate any rough, dry patches from your baby’s scalp, thanks to its super-soft silicone brush and fine-tooth comb design.

43. And last but not least, a pair (or a whole dozen) of double-zipper pajamas from Posh Peanut, perfect for those who love bamboo baby clothing. The convenient zippers make nighttime changes a breeze without having to remove their pajamas, and the footies feature slip-free patches and can be flipped up, allowing early walkers to have their feet free when needed.
I brought my baby home from the hospital dressed in Posh Peanut. This brand holds a special place in my heart. The pajamas are soft, breathable, and come in such adorable patterns that you'll want to keep these as mementos forever. Plus, the double zipper makes nighttime diaper changes super easy. I can't recommend them enough! In fact, I bought a pair of their adult pajamas for myself because I was envious of my baby. And I love them! Oops, looks like I just talked myself into buying more!
Promising review: "These pajamas are so soft for my baby girl and incredibly comfortable. The convertible onesies are perfect for walking babies, and they are very durable. This is truly the best sleepwear! Highly recommend!" —Junie
