20 Items I Swear By As A First Time Mom
Plus sale favorites that aren't baby-related, too!
Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve seen that it’s Prime Day - which means that Amazon is offering major discounts on a TON of items from home/style/beauty to baby items and more.
And while I try to be aware of how much I link to Amazon due to some complicated feelings towards the company and it’s owner… there’s no denying that it’s a helpful tool for new and expecting parents. I can’t even tell you how many orders I placed from the app on my phone at 3am in those early days 🙈
I mean, tons of great brands (including a lot of my favorite small businesses!) all in one checkout with free shipping? I’m only human.
So I thought I’d pull together some of my favorite purchases for you. Every baby items listed here are things that I purchased with my own money (or was gifted by a friend/family member), use on a regular basis, and would absolutely purchase again.
But before we dive into my baby favorites, there are a few other sales you need to know about:
the nonstick oven pan you see in every dinner roundup (so easy to clean!)
this cult favorite natural deodorant that lives up to the hype
these pricey resurfacing pads that I’m in love with - 50% off lightening deal!
the easiest tanning wipes (no mess!)
my portable steamer that I’ve had for years
my earbuds because I don’t trust myself with expensive airpods
the nespresso machine I use to make iced lattes every morning
Okay now to baby things!
