25 Prime Day Deals I'm Buying As a New Mom

I had this car seat waiting in my cart for the moment it went on sale, and I'm so impressed by how discounted it is. This car seat was highly recommended by other moms. I was particularly looking for one that is rotating, has an easily-removable cover, and will keep my little one cool in our Alabama heat. This one checks all the boxes plus allows kiddos to be rear-facing longer, which can protect them in a crash!

This is one of the most-talked about baby deals available right now, so don't expect it to last long! Save $400 on this must-have baby item, according to one of our editors. "The SNOO was a lifesaver for our family," she said. "As I struggled with severe postpartum anxiety and insomnia, knowing that my son was in a safe sleeping environment that also helped him get back to sleep allowed us to move him to his own room earlier than expected. I loved that the SNOO swaddle allowed room for his legs to bend, and the gentle rocking motion helped soothe him through the night. We were lucky—we rarely need to use it at its highest setting, but the few times we did it did effectively calmed him back to sleep. We weaned him around 4 months, following the company’s exact instructions for weaning, and that worked like a charm. We had no issues transitioning him to a crib. We’d definitely use it again for a second child."

Another note: "Also—it was surprisingly easy to pack up for car trips! We did bring it on one unexpected trip because we didn't want to mess up the weaning schedule, and it broke down and set back up super easily."

If you're looking for a non-rotating car seat that's great for smaller vehicles, then snatch this best-selling option while it's discounted by $40. "For the price, safety capability, ease of installation, and ability to grow with her kid, it can't be beat," one of our editors says of this car seat her family member uses. "It's also a bit slimmer than most car seats, which saves space in the second row. She's due with her second soon, and plans to get another of this same model."

My daughter used the Love to Dream sleep sacks from her first week and has loved them. In the early days, she liked having her hands by her face and we liked that she was able to still sleep safely that way and stay warm. The transition bag was a lifesaver when she was learning to sleep arms out. I'm buying the next size up while it's on sale.

I have many friends who use this as their travel sound machine, but we have always used this white noise machine as our only one. It's so easy to pack in the diaper bag for trips and I like that my daughter doesn't have to adjust to two different sounds — you never know what's going to throw off a baby's sleep.

This diaper changing envelope is a game changer when it comes to keeping my diaper bag organized. Diaper changing stations in public bathrooms are usually gross, so this provides a surface for my baby to lay on to protect her. It also conveniently stores her diaper cream, diapers, and wipes all in one spot and can be hung from a car headrest for easy access to wipes.

I could sing the praises of the Upseat all day long. We got it when my baby was about five months old and we've used it every day since, and she's nine months now. We don't even use her high chair anymore, because the Upseat is so much more convenient. We take it on every trip and it's held up perfectly.

If your family travels occasionally, then get this Pack 'n Play while it's on sale now. It packs away easily and is a cozy, safe spot for baby to sleep and play. We loved using the detachable bassinet as a grab-and-go spot for our baby to sleep around the house.

This smooth-riding and luxurious stroller can be used with an infant car seat as a travel system and transitions into a double stroller to use with two children. I personally got it because I love the seating options for two children, particularly that the toddler seat can face outwards. It folds up easily, too.

If you're thinking about or planning on formula feeding, then get this life saver now. You won't have to wait a second for the bottle to heat up, which is music to any sleep deprived parent's ears at 3 am. I have the less-techy Formula Pro Advanced without WiFi connection that's currently on sale for under $200.

My baby has been fascinated by this water mat for months. It made tummy time so much easier for all of us in the early days!

These hole-free bath toys don't allow any water inside, so parents don't have to worry about nasty mildew accumulating inside.

I've used this bathtub in all four stages and can attest to just how convenient and helpful it is. We've now taken the insert out since my baby can sit independently, but we still use the tub because it saves so much water. I love that the insert is machine-washable, too.

The Boppy pillow can be used as nursing support in the newborn phase and then as a sitting support for baby as they get older. We used it constantly until my baby was able to sit in her Upseat.

A great diaper bag is vital to the success of any outing with baby, and I've loved not only how chic this one is but also how efficiently it stores all my daughter's necessities. It has five interior pockets, a zippered front pocket, a slide-in front pocket, another front pocket with a clasp, and two bottle storage spots on the side. It also comes with a built-in toiletry pack, D-rings to clasp to your stroller, a trolley strap, and a D-ring to attach a paci holder.

It is nearly impossible to care for a baby when you're attached to a power cord in the wall. This wearable breast pump slides into your bra and seamlessly pumps while you can cuddle your little one. It's super easy to empty, clean, and sanitize and is surprisingly powerful for a portable pump. I loved using it in my first few months of motherhood.

My baby is so close to crawling, so I'm looking ahead to toys she'll start using in the next few months and this was a no brainer. I have so many friends who love this climbing Montessori set and I know my girl will love it in a few months.

As we rapidly approach my daughter's first birthday, I'm starting to think about all of the sweet keepsakes I need to store away from her first year. I love that this box has enough space to include things like baby shoes and hats in addition to special papers and cards.

Bathing suits aren't a necessity, but it's great to stock up while they're on sale! RuffleButts suits are so cute and well made, and I adore seeing my daughter in this gingham one. I also love that it comes in a rash guard so I can know she's doubly protected against UV rays with the addition of plenty of sunscreen.
