Tampa Bay Area Moms spilled their “I can’t-live-without” baby products.
Whether it’s your first or third baby, there are so many baby products to choose from, and knowing what to buy can be such a daunting task. While each family’s needs may differ, there are a few products that were recommended repeatedly by local moms.
FEEDING
Haakaa Breast Pump | $20.99
With this breast pump, you simply suction it to your breast and then let the pump do the rest of the work for you. Most moms recommend using this on the opposite breast your child is feeding on to collect all letdown and milk which would otherwise be lost into a breast pad.
Baby Brezza Pro Advanced Formula Mixer | $199.99
This machine automatically makes a warm, formula bottle instantly. There is no measuring, mixing or fuss. You can customize the perfect bottle for your baby by choosing 1oz increments between 2-10 ounces, with 1 of 3 temperature settings or dispensing water only.

This system allows you to collect store, prepare, and feed all using a single disposable breast milk storage bag. Eliminate the risk of contamination or spills when transferring milk.

GEAR

Your baby’s own movements set the baby bouncer gently rocking, which is great fun for your baby. The fitted fabric seat is comfortable and gives good support to your baby’s back, neck, and head. You can use this bouncer for your child from birth up to the age of two.
Boppy Nursing Pillow | $30+
The Boppy Pillow not only lifts babies to a more ergonomic position for comfortable feedings but also transitions to support them as they grow- offering the perfect spot for tummy time, playing, sitting, or just discovering little fingers and toes.

Again, these are just a few of the items that I came across repeatedly after reading multiple Facebook posts of mamas looking for items to include on their registry.
I also always recommend looking for these items second-hand. Once Upon A Child or All About Kids are all great local resources!
