The holidays are just around the corner, and with Black Friday just a few weeks away, and major winter holidays shortly thereafter, I figured it’s time to talk about baby must haves as you curate the perfect wish list, and search for the best gifts. Below I have listed 25 of my absolute favorite products from pregnancy through early postpartum!

Stocking Stuffers

2. Pacifier Wipes https://link.amazon/B0gQwq11J
Need I say more? Toss them in your car, purse, diaper bag, or diaper cart. These wipes are an affordable fan fav!
3. Breastpump wipes https://link.amazon/B0bcZnk2U
Lots of things happen when you’re on the go, and if you know someone who will be returning to work and pumping this holiday season, this is the perfect gift to toss in a stocking and into their pump bag.
4. Hairties https://link.amazon/B04kEJeT4
You love the, you lose them, you find them under the couch. Give mom a break and restock her supply.
5..TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads https://link.amazon/B04Q2oMfu
For vaginal births, Tucks pads can provide a soothing relief that combats the discomforts of swelling, tears, and general discomfort following childbirth. Compact, affordable, and a great labor stocking stuffer or basket filler that your loved one is sure to appreciate after baby has arrived.
6. EarthMama Organic Nipple Butter https://link.amazon/B0bQ0J5dk

Fan (and Family) Favorites
1. Frida 2-in-1 Postpartum Ice Pads https://link.amazon/B06EzoD1R
Another fan favorite, Frida postpartum ice pads are a great way to help soothe and reduce swelling, soreness, and discomfort following labor and delivery. These honestly aren’t the most comfortable for sitting down (in my opinion, from personal use). However, I LOVED to throw one of these on before bed, or a quick nap to really give me some relief when I got the chance to rest.
2. Frida Upside Down Peri Bottle https://link.amazon/B01D2SVRm
After birth, the entire bathroom routine looks a little different for new parents. An upside down peri-bottle in a stocking or gift basket is the perfect way to say “Hey, I see YOU!) In the midst of them recieving gifts for baby. They’re great to toss in every bathroom to make sure mom is always prepared!
3. Lansinoh Hot and Cold Therapy Packs (with covers) https://link.amazon/B07wrC2n2
Nursing, pumping, and weaning can come with a little discomfort as the body adjusts it’s milk storage capacity, stretches, and can be used to relieve clogged ducts, mastitis, or to encourage milk let down. These pads are extra convenient as they come with covers made specifically for them, giving you or your loved one the comfort they deserve and the skin protection they need.
4. Rolling Cart https://link.amazon/B05u4WW8k
Stock your cart with diapers, your favorite snacks, your pump, or whatever other necessities make postpartum easier, and the best thing is, now all your essentials are on wheels!
5.Haaka Breastmilk Collectors https://link.amazon/B05vGZG0U
Subtle suction to make sure every drop of liquid gold makes its way to your baby, and not your favorite pj set
7. Momcozy All-in-1 Washer, Dryer, and Sterilizer https://link.amazon/B03cpJqF9
This is one of those big purchase that are best if you know you’re going to formula feed or exclusively pump especially if you’re exepcting multiples or have a small village. 2am bottle dishes without owning a dishwasher took an extra wind out of me that I hasn’t planned for postpartum.
8. Avent Bottle Warmer https://link.amazon/B0g1ER9kL
9. Boon Frosh Breast Milk Cooler https://link.amazon/B087ZkdUE
Roadtrips to business meetings, to family cookouts. My Boon Frosh is my BFF (Boon Frosh Forever) . Currently using it in the toddler phase to keep sippy cup refills cool and to hydrate myself when i’m on my own solo missions.
10. Owala Water Bottle https://link.amazon/B0hP5AD5c
Hydration is the name of the game from pregnancy to just general health. Why not get a water bottle that’s insulated, fun, and easy for parents on the run?
11.Birth Ball https://link.amazon/B03y3tJG2
This specific birth ball is one of my favorite items on this list beause of its reinforced base, providing extra stability and reassurance. Whether you’re shopping for a ball to aid it fitness preconception, preparing for labor, riding each wave, or recovering postpartum, this birth ball sets the tone.
12.Pregnancy Pillow https://link.amazon/B077Xh6ZTd
13.Rolling Breast Massasger https://link.amazon/B0fe0X1fS
14.Owlet Dream Sock https://link.amazon/B03LOivSr
While not reccomedned by every family or provider, there are so many stories of lives saved from adding the owlet to an already safe sleep environment. As a new mom, thus saved me from countless sleepless nights, and when I used my subscription, I was able to check sleep stats whether I was on bedtime duty or I had a sitter.
