Baby & Toddler Gear for Feeding, Playing & Travel

FAQs

What breastfeeding accessories do I actually need?

The essentials most breastfeeding moms use daily are: a nursing pillow (to support baby and reduce arm strain during feeds), a washable nursing pillow cover, muslin burp cloths (aim for at least 8–10), and a nursing cover if you plan to feed outside the home. Our Muslin Breastfeeding Bundle includes a nursing pillow cover, swaddle, and burp cloths together — one of our most popular bundles for expectant moms building their registry.

How many swaddle blankets does a newborn need?

Most new parents find 3–5 swaddle blankets is the right number — enough to have clean ones ready without overdoing it. Organic muslin is the most popular choice because it's breathable, gets softer with every wash, and is versatile enough to use as a nursing cover, tummy time mat, or light blanket. Our Organic Muslin Swaddles come in coordinating prints that match our burp cloths and nursing pillow covers.

When should I start tummy time, and what do I need for it?

Tummy time can start from day one, for short sessions of 2–3 minutes a few times per day. All you need is a firm, flat surface — a baby play mat makes it easier and more comfortable for your baby. Our Inside/Outside Play Mat works on both indoor floors and outdoor surfaces like grass or concrete, making it one of the most versatile pieces of baby gear for the first year.

Do I need a nursing pillow if I'm breastfeeding?

A nursing pillow isn't strictly required, but most breastfeeding moms say it makes a significant difference — especially in the early weeks when latching is new and feeds are long. It supports the baby at the right height, reduces strain on your arms, back, and shoulders, and can also be used for tummy time and seated support as baby grows. Our Organic Muslin Nursing Pillow Cover fits standard nursing pillows and is available in coordinating muslin prints.

What is the best baby gift bundle for a new mom?

The most appreciated baby gift bundles cover multiple everyday needs in one set. Our Essentials Baby Bundle includes a muslin swaddle, burp cloths, and a nursing pillow cover — covering feeding and newborn care in one package. Our Muslin Breastfeeding Bundle is another strong choice for moms who plan to nurse, combining the key accessories she'll reach for every day in the first few months.

Whether you're preparing for your first baby or filling out your registry— or gearing up for the toddler years — this is where to start. This collection brings together essential baby and toddler gear for every stage of the first few years, covering the things new and growing families reach for most: feeding, play, and life on the go.

For feeding and nursing, you'll find organic muslin nursing pillows and pillow covers, nursing covers, muslin swaddle blankets, burp cloths, and breastfeeding bundles sized for the fourth trimester. For playtime and development, shop portable inside/outside play mats and nap mats built for tummy time and toddler rest. And for every outing in between — from daycare drop-off to weekend adventures — browse insulated cooler bags for breast milk, stroller accessories, wet/dry bags, and zipper pouch sets.

For toddlers heading to daycare or preschool, the Cool Kid collection brings it all together: lightweight backpacks, insulated lunch boxes, water bottles, and nap mats in coordinating colorways — everything they need, ready to go.

Everything is designed thoughtfully — built to be beautiful, functional, and worth the space in your diaper bag.

What Baby & Toddler Gear Do You Actually Need for the First Years?

Most first-time moms over-buy in some categories and under-buy in others. For feeding and nursing, the items that consistently get used every single day are a good nursing pillow (and a washable cover), a generous supply of muslin burp cloths — most moms recommend at least 8–10 — and an easy-to-use nursing cover if you plan to breastfeed outside the home. For play, a portable baby play mat that works for both tummy time and independent play is more useful than a fixed activity gym. And for outings, the most practical combination is a quick-change kit paired with a compact insulated cooler bag if you're pumping or breastfeeding.

As they grow into the toddler years, a durable backpack, insulated lunch box, and nap mat are the daycare and preschool essentials that get used every single day. If you're building a registry, our Muslin Breastfeeding Bundle and Essentials Baby Bundle both cover multiple categories at a meaningful discount — a good place to start before adding individual items.
