Favorite Products
Keep in mind that the only thing you absolutely need to feed your baby doesn’t come from a store. Truly….you only need two things…you…and…your baby (and solid food for babies beyond 6 months of age). However, below are some of our favorite products that we’ve personally found very helpful so we want to share them with you. We have no affiliations with these companies or products, only spreading the word about things we love. Enjoy!
