SNOO
I have so much respect for the creator, Dr. Harvey Karp. Most of our babies have responded favorably to this and I love the safety of the product as it keeps even the most wiggly babies on their backs. The breathable mesh fabric is top-notch as are all the accessories. Very transportable as well.

Baby Bjorn Cradle
My favorite! Very transportable! Gentle rocking is a key feature and the low height and transparent breathable mesh fabric gives the secure supervision of baby. Also, the fabrics are tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. They are guaranteed to be harmless to children’s sensitive skin.

Miracle Blanket Swaddle Wrap
These are my top favorites because it secures the babies arms and I also love the lightweight fabric—very easy to swaddle any size baby and has worked like a charm for all babies I have supported! This swaddle will bring you from newborn until you transition out of the swaddle as you can do one arm out or both arms out also.

Soft Bottom Cloths
Always need to dry a baby’s bum to prevent diaper rash and these are perfect to ensure that as well as for use with diaper creams, etc. So nice to have these at every baby station in the house!

Portable Sound Machine
This machine has worked like a charm to lull the little babies to sleep---as mentioned in Harvey Karp’s 5s’ (shhhhhuning and sound) helps to calm fussy babies. This is a must-have!

Magnetic Me Footies
A must! A client and doula favorite! These are the best ever from the material to the ease of use for these little ones who don’t like to be changed. It takes a second to change any outfit and the patterns and prints are absolutely adorable.

Coterie Diapers
Best ever! So soft and absorbent—never leak! A must-have!
Coterie pairs an ultra-absorbent core with an “acquisition distribution layer” that wicks liquid away within 15 seconds (holy moly!) so baby looks and feels dry for longer. These dermatologist-tested diapers are free of fragrances, chlorine, alcohol, parabens, and other irritants.

Wubbanub Soothie Pacifier
Distributed widely in hospitals and shaped more like the breast than many other pacifiers. Our babies tend to favor these pacifiers. Very easy to grasp. Silicone, Latex, BPA and PVA free!

Natursutten Pacifier
I love the rounded shape as it tends to work better for breastfed babies because the tongue is positioned under the nipple as it is during breastfeeding. Additionally, the larger shield touches baby’s nose which closely simulates breastfeeding.
It’s extremely hygienic (no artificial colors) and made from 100% pure, natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensis with no allergy causing substance (the protein that on rare occasions can provoke a latex allergy is eliminated during production). Parabens Free, PVC Free, phtalates Free and BPA free.

Booby Tubes by Earth Mama
Our mamas love these! You can use them both warm & cold. They really help ease breastfeeding discomfort, encourage milk flow, avoid clogged ducts, promote let-down and comfort the symptoms of infection, and cold is used to help reduce the swelling and tenderness of engorgement and weaning.

Dr. Browns Bottles
Most favorite bottle because almost ALL babies take well to this bottle---nipple shape perfect and truly works in helping to eliminate air bubbles and gas. No gas baby = happy baby. It is also the #1 choice of our Lactation team for breastfeeding mamas. They have an optional vent system which helps to reduce feeding problems, helps in digestion and helps preserve vitamins.
