My Favorite Pregnancy Must-Haves
What I’ve Bought for Babies, Postpartum, and Beyond
As someone who loves staying organized, my pregnancy journey has been no exception! From finding the perfect essentials to supporting local brands I adore, I’ve curated a list of must-haves that have made this experience so much smoother. Whether you’re expecting or just prepping for a little one’s arrival, here are my tried-and-true favorites.
Baby Essentials
Numpfer Drooler Bundle
I can’t say enough good things about this local brand! Their products are both practical and adorable, making them perfect for little ones. Bonus points for supporting a local business I love. Watch my reel here to see how I keep these bibs organized.
Maydolly Baby Changing Table
This has been a lifesaver for keeping everything organized and at arm’s reach for diaper changes. Plus, it’s stylish and functional—a win-win. I love how it is mobile so I can move it from room to room and light enough once we move or if I don’t need it in 2 years to pass forward.
Pehr Pom-Pom Basket Hamper
Perfect for organizing baby laundry or toys, these hampers are as cute as they are practical. I grabbed a few to keep our space tidy and fun.
Hurokids Onesies
The only onesies I’ve purchased so far, and they’re amazing! Not only are they soft and high-quality, but a portion of the proceeds goes to Operation Smile. Shopping with a purpose feels so good. The founder has become a good friend and I watched her deal with her son’s cleft lip journey which has been so inspiring.
Oilo Studio Glider/Recliner
I was on the hunt for a recliner as I really think the traditional Lazy Boys are ugly and I didn’t actually want anything like that in our home. But then this company, Oilo Studio, kept popping up on my Instagram and I LOVED the aesthetic plus it seemed to be really functional for new moms. While I am still pregnant, it is the only chair at the moment that is comfortable.
Snoo Smart Sleeper
The ultimate sleep tool for baby—and parents! I’ve heard rave reviews about how this helps soothe babies to sleep, and I can’t wait to use it. I received two of these borrowed, and I will pass them back so I was very lucky to have a friend with twins.
I only took advice from two people. My friend who gave birth 6 months ago recommended everything below, and a twin mom who lent me the Snoo bassinets among a few other things. She is a rockstar mom with twins, a partner at a law firm, and looks effortless as she raises her twin boys while starting a cosmetics company, Bullet Proof Cosmetics.
Other Essentials:
Pregnancy Skincare Favorites
Kpure Naturals Overachiever Multi-Purpose Body Balm
This local Vancouver brand is amazing. I’ve been using this balm every day on my tummy and elbows to keep my skin hydrated.
Kpure Naturals Drenched Whipped Body Butter
The vanilla scent is heavenly, and I apply it right out of the shower. My skin feels soft, and it smells incredible.
Kpure Naturals Smooch Mocktail Lip Balm Pack
These lip balms are scattered around my house because I use them all day long. They’re moisturizing and smell amazing.
Nemah Belly Oil
Keeping my skin supple and preventing stretch marks has been a priority. This oil has been a game-changer for my routine.
Clothing & Comfort
Bumpsuit
This brand has been my go-to for pregnancy clothes that I’ll definitely wear postpartum too! The soft material and stylish designs make them perfect for everyday wear. It is literally the only thing I can wear as my skin got so tight that it was always itching, and the material is so soft I don’t want to take it off.
The Lucy Maternity Unitard (I wore this and the Kate Maternity Unitard)
Off-Shoulder Dress (pink for special events)
Armadillo Baby Carrier by Bumpsuit
I got two—one in green for my husband and the signature cloud color for myself. It’s sleek, functional, and Instagram-worthy!
Postpartum Must-Haves
Willow breast pump
Essential for every mom! I did a lot of research and didn’t want any cords dangling down as I would like to be able to still do things while pumping, especially with twins.
Baby Lotion & Wash
I discovered this brand, Nehma, and love it! I am also using the Belly Oil.
Honest Diaper Wipes
A parenting essential that I’ve stocked up on! I love the Honest brand since it started and was so excited to use all of their baby products.
And of course, I have been drinking Glimmer Wine to celebrate all the fun milestones while being pregnant.
I hope this list inspires you to find products that make your pregnancy and parenting journey as smooth and joyful as possible. Let me know what your must-haves are—I’m always looking to discover new favourites! My Instagram Reel shows how I organized most of these items.
