Clean up!
Babies are messy. But why waste time stressing when you can get everything cleaned up and move on with a better day?
We live for these. They’re soft, a great shape, machine washable, dryer friendly; a warm wash with detergent has never failed to make them good as new. Overall low maintenance.
I think I have to put #ad here, since I have an affiliate code for Amazo...
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths 10 Pack Organic
Just do it. I don’t want to hear how lazy it is. I run ours 1-2 times per day. We did a lot of research and went with this one because it has its own water refuse tank to dump after washing and doesn’t need to be tethered to a sink. 4 bottles at a ti...
Bottle Washer Pro
We love and adore this diaper line. They handle would-be blowouts like a champ. Bonus points for having muted prints that don’t ruin his outfits by showing through. (Yes, I’m serious.)
Huggies Size Skin Essentials Diapers
So perfect. No notes.
But since you need convincing- they’re grippy and soft. They’re exactly the right size to be fully in control of the situation. They aren’t flimsy (no accidental rips leading to poopy fingers with these babies), and come out of...
Huggies Skin Essentials Baby Wipes, 2 Packs
Play
Must have. Our baby rejected any electric bouncer/rocker. I didn’t register for this because I thought it was crunchy-mom “no tech!” TikTok fodder. Turned out to be a holy grail for our peanut, who was able to bounce himself right away. This was a ga...
Mira™ - Wells
So soft and great for play! Plus, we have a spitty baby and this wipes up like a dream.
I think I have to put #ad here, since I have an affiliate code for Amazon, but seriously, I would recommend this either way. #ad
Huloo Ultra Soft Baby Play Mat 50x50 Dark Grey
Our peanut’s first “favorite”. Pliable silicone, and a calming rattle sound.
As usual, #ad. BUT this whole brand has been a dream come true, and the ones Baby Bons gravitates toward the most. You’ll see RaZ on this list a LOT.
RaZbaby RaZ-Apple Silicone Teether & Rattle
Sophie is a STAPLE. we don’t go anywhere without her. I thought this was going to be the lamest toy. But it’s baby Bons’ FAVORITE and it’s definitely priced for its quality. Everyone needs a Sophie.

Travel
Love love love!!!!! Folding and unfolding are a breeze, the lower basket is spacious, four total cupholders, and a handle pocket.
Bravo Primo Trio Travel System - Springhill
Easy to install, smooth rotation, easy to understand. Baby rode in comfort for two, 8-hour days back-to-back.
Graco EasyTurn 360 2-in-1 Convertible Car Seat
Feeding
We used these after 3 months, when I couldn’t stand the extra piece from the Avent anti-colic bottles anymore, and we were past our fears of developing colic. Dream to clean, and aesthetically pleasing.
Avent Natural Response Bottles
Ok. Big sigh. These were great for 3 months. Never got colic. Never had gas issues. Once you get the hang of lining the nipple up with the mark inside the rim, no leaks. Con: the anti colic dingle is a PITA.
Avent Anti-colic baby bottles
We live for this thing. I always thought “ok, really, how hard can it be to mix a bottle?”
But after making two… we bought this machine.
Because it’s not that it’s hard, it’s a major pain in the tush.
This machine makes it easy as pressing a button....
Formula Pro Advanced: Baby Formula Dispenser
This was a game changer for Baby Bons. It took maybe 2 tries and then he was a pro. Were totally off bottles now, and the weighted straw fits the rumbling, tumbling, can’t-sit-still lifestyle of a 9 month old
Dr. Brown's Milestones Baby Straw Cup 9oz 2pk
Sleep
I know, I know. I heard the horror stories, the whining about “false alarms,” and our own pediatrician cautioning us that we shouldn’t rely on it as a medial device. BUT. As a monitor? Just to know my baby is breathing? Absolutely indispensable. I lo...
