Burp Cloths

These were a staple in my house with young babies. My oldest was constantly spitting up! As my children have gotten older, I have kept some out because they make great “boogie towels,” as my oldest calls them. They are softer than tissues on their littles noses. Also, if you place it in their bed at night, it is easier for them to find than a small tissue.

Bottle Drying Rack

We have the Boon Lawn Drying Rack and it is perfect for drying stemmed glassware! It keeps them upright and they are less likely to break.

Newborn/Preemie Diapers

As my daughter moved up in diaper sizes, we had some leftover preemie and newborn diapers. Instead of just throwing them away, I threw them in with our doll clothes. My kids love changing the babies diapers!

Bulb Syringe

We have a few of these from the hospital that were never used. They have become the perfect addition to our doctor play kit!

Diaper Wet Bag

This Charli Banana Wet Bag has been one of my most used baby items! We never used cloth diapers but I have always carried one in our diaper bag. It’s great when a child has a blowout, an accident, or gets their clothes filthy! We can throw their clothes in that bag and then everything can go in the wash when we get home. I have also started keeping one in our swim bag. The wet swimsuits go in the Wet Bag and then they aren’t dripping everywhere on the way home!
