Introducing foods into your baby’s diet can be so overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to start, but once I found Yumi, all the guesswork of feeding my little one was gone. Yumi makes organic, freshly made baby food that’s delivered to your doorstep weekly. As a working mom, Yumi saved me so much time without having to compromise on the quality of food. A win for me, and a win for baby. Get 50% Off Yumi with Code QUALITYEDIT50.
After trying Coterie diapers, I couldn’t go back to the generic brands anymore. The founder sought to create a diaper that worked better, felt better, and looked better than anything else on the market… and they created just that. Not only does Coterie work better than any other brand we’ve tried, but they also deliver right to your doorstep (with regular text updates to remind you to size up or even delay a shipment). Anything that will save a new parent a last-minute trip to the grocery store is so worth it to me.
As a new parent, you develop a new sense of awareness of the products coming into your home. The first few products I decided to ditch and switch were my traditional cleaning supplies filled with strong odors and even stronger chemicals. Once I learned about Blueland, an effective cleaning supply company that cares about both human health and environmental health, I was sold. The Clean Suite was the perfect starter kit to replace all of my most-used products of soaps, detergents, surface cleaners. After seeing its effectiveness, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to traditional cleaning products.
Babywearing has become all the rage, but for good reason. Not only is the skin-to-skin time incredibly beneficial for the development of your littlest love, but it is also helpful for a new parent desperately trying to find balance. It can be hard trying to console a baby, while also trying to keep up with day-to-day activities (daily walks, doing dishes, chasing around a big sibling). Baby carriers make it so much easier to keep your little one near, while also freeing up your hands. I’ve tried plenty, but Ergobaby’s Aerloom carrier has won the award for best all-around carrier in my house.
Swaddlou has completely changed nighttime for me and my little one. Though there’s nothing that could magically make a newborn sleep through the night, there are things that make the nighttime a bit more bearable-- Swaddlou being one. The velcro-free swaddle with a double-swaddle design helps babies fall asleep and stay asleep. A win-win for both baby and parent!
Is this a favorite for the baby or the new parents? Up for debate. Hatch’s Restore night light is the perfect addition to a new parent lifestyle. Serving as a sound machine to drown out excess noise for your babe, a night light for middle-of-the-night feedings, and a gentle alarm clock so you don’t end up snoozing through the day, this one does it all. Use it in the nursery, in a toddler’s room, or in your own room… this is definitely something the whole family will love.
For the breastfeeding parent, these are a must. A breast pump is necessary for keeping milk production up and saving you from any potential infection, but a milk collector? Game changer. No more crying over lost milk when pumping. Make every last drop count (seriously) with Haakaa’s breast pump and milk collector. I mean… they do say breast milk is liquid gold. Treat it like such!
