Congrats! I am a soon to be Mom of my first child. I have also been determining what I need for baby. While I haven’t had the chance to trial anything yet, here are some of the top items I am getting. I’ve been looking for products without flame retardants and seeking out low-toxin options when possible. I have been able to find almost all of these items (some of which are higher end) very lightly used or new on Facebook marketplace.

No diapers listed as we are going to use cloth diapers and pay for a service to launder - this is a priority for me. Check out natural infant hygiene - it is a method used in other countries by which you can start potty training the baby at just a few months old. single-use diapers hinder this process. I’m sure my list is already excessive but I have a family that wants me to be set up for success, and it is easier to satisfy their expectations this way.

I am having the most difficult time with the car seat and stroller as many brands contain forever chemicals. Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
