3 – 6 Month Essentials
There are so many products for babies and just as many opinions! These are the 3-6 month essentials we have found most helpful as first-time parents. xoxo
Car Seat and Stroller: We still love and use the Doona Infant Car Seat, UPPAbaby VISTA V2 Stroller, and AMACOOL Battery Operated Stroller Fan, which I have details on in the Newborn Essentials post. Since the weather has cooled down we are using the stroller fan less and this sweet stroller blanket more for our walks. This Monogrammed Pacifier Clip Holder is very helpful to reach and find the paci in the car quickly.
Sleep: We still love and use the Eufy Life S340 Smart Sock and Monitor, Hatch Rest+ 2nd Gen Portable Dream Machine and live by the Moms on Call Basic Baby Care 0-6 Months, which I have details on in the Newborn Essentials post. There are still times we use the Halo sleep sack with arms unswaddled, but we have mostly transitioned to the Kyte Baby Sleep Bag 1.0 with a pair of Kissy Kissy Footie Pajamas. The Moms on Call Next Steps Baby Care 6-15 Months has been great to read ahead on what is next after 6 months.
Diaper: We still love and use the Munchkin Step Diaper Pail, OXO Tot Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser, and A+D Original Diaper Rash Ointment, which I have details on in the Newborn Essentials post. As for diapers themselves, we have found Coterie to be the consistent winner. Each baby fits differently and different brands will fit best at different times.
Feeding: We continue to be obsessed with the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced and love Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow® Anti-Colic Newborn Bottles, which I have details on in the Newborn Essentials post. As we start to introduce solid foods the mushie Silicone Baby Feeding Spoons, mushie Silicone Suction Bowl, Comfy Cubs Muslin Baby Bibs, and Dr. Brown’s Milestones Narrow Sippy Bottle have been great additions. I am also making all the baby food at home with my food processor to ensure clean ingredients and save money, so these WeeSprout Glass Baby Food Storage Jars are handy for storing food in the fridge for the week.
Bath: The 4-in-1 Grow-with-Me Bath Tub by Frida Baby, which I have details on in the Newborn Essentials post, transitions to work well for 3-6 months. We also continue to use the Noodle & Boo 2-in-1 Newborn Hair & Body Wash, Noodle & Boo Super Soft Moisturizing Lotion, and the NailFrida The Snipper Clipper Set. Bath time is a favorite in our house, and it is extra fun when we rotate in mushie Stackable Bath Boats Toy, Mold Free Baby Bath Toys, or the occasional Honest bubble bath.
Play: There is suddenly so much play time in our house and I love it! The Lovevery Play Gym is a playtime favorite for us, especially when paired with the toys from their subscription box. We have also started the long process of teething and the Frida Baby Not-Too-Cold-to-Hold is by far the best teether we have found. As we start moving more we are enjoying the BABY BJÖRN Bouncer with the Googly Eyes Pastel Bouncer Toy, the Joovy Spoon Baby Walker & Activity Center, and the LAYCOL Baby Swimming Float for days at the pool. We also have an endless shelf of books, which we read daily, I will link a few of our favorites below.
