15 Baby Products That Alex Drummond Loves as a New Mom

Alex knows this stroller was "definitely an investment" but she walks a lot, so she felt like it was worth it. "It has the smoothest glide," she says. "Also converts to a double, so I know we will get lots of good use down the road."

This adorable baby carrier was a gift from Ree! She had a similar one when Paige and Alex were babies, so it was a must for Sofia.

Babies and dirty diapers go hand in hand, but that doesn't mean your nursery has to smell like one. This diaper pail traps odors and keeps everything smelling fresh. (Alex is extra proud of her own purchase because she got it on major sale!)

Alex has been "v impressed" with this diaper bag and all of its "great features." It definitely came in handy on a family outing to Sofia's first rodeo!

"This thing is quite literally the best $20 I've ever spent," Alex says. "Trust and believe, you need this." She loves the gentle light and dimmable options for late-night feedings and diaper changes. They even brought it to the hospital.

Alex wouldn't have survived the first week at home without this helpful postpartum kit that's stuffed with all the essentials. (It also makes a great gift for new moms.)

While Sofia is still sleeping in her bassinet, Alex got this baby mattress for the crib. It's breathable, washable, and features a removable cover.

This tiny gadget from Hatch is "the only sound machine" Alex and Mauricio have used so far—and they love it! It's surprisingly loud for its small size, and so easy to take on the go.

Any new mom knows you can never have too many burp cloths, and these are extra soft and gentle on baby's skin. "We keep stacks of them all around the house for spit-up or random spills," Alex says.

As much as Alex and Mauricio love cuddling with Sofia, they say this lounger has been "an absolute must-have." It's a cozy place for her to snuggle while their arms get a break!

Here's Alex's favorite way to go hands-free! This adorable wrap carrier is part of her "daily uniform" while Sofia is still small. It's perfect for newborns up to 25 pounds.

Whether you're breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, Alex says this nursing pillow is so nice to have. "You really underestimate how uncomfortable your arms can get," she says. "This makes it way easier."

Here's one baby product that left Ree—who raised four babies of her own—totally "mind-blown." It's a stroller and a car seat, all in one! "If you are someone who's on the go a lot, like in the car and taking your baby out and about, this a must-have in my opinion," Alex explains.

Bath time is so much easier with this cute tub! "It has different configurations designed to grow with your baby," Alex says.

And what's a cute bathtub without some hair and body wash to go with it? Alex gives this hypoallergenic, tear-free soap all the heart eyes.
