Great throughout pregnancy for customizing needs and perfect for breastfeeding.
These are great for positioning - small enough and fluffy enough. Also helpful for breastfeeding.
Supportive all-in-one for sitting up in bed or on the floor. Awesome for nighttime feeding and providing support while sitting on floor with little ones.
Salt + Water + Vinegar - that's it! This stuff is scent and additive-free, safe enough to use on your hands and around babies and pets, yet it kills 99.9% of germs. It's the best situation for my MCAS while keeping me and my family safe.

Protects caregiver's body by bathing little one in the sink! Machine washable and helps support baby's body.
I bought a second one of these because its portable and so convenient for middle of the night feeds and diaper changes! Easily dims and on/off by tapping the top.
