I can’t believe I’m already writing a post on our most used baby items months 6-12! I’ve been keeping a running list of new things that we get for Bennett as he reaches new milestones. It’s crazy to think about how much he’s already grown since the newborn to 6 months post + there are so many more “essentials” than when he was smaller. Our new normal is now so much more than just boppy pillows
and sleepsuits
. But, it’s SO FUN to see all his different skills start to develop using all of the items in today’s post.

[The things we still use from the list in Most Used Baby Items Newborn – 6 Months:]
- We still refer to Moms on Call
religiously – we used the MOC 6-15 months book, and we just got in the MOC toddler book. Incredibly helpful for starting finger foods, transitioning to milk, and changing nap schedules. - We also use a lot of the same products from my feeding essentials post. Although we’ve since dropped all bottles and just use sippy cups for milk.
- Still using and loving our Doona convertible car seat/stroller – I will cry when he is too big to use it!

Small Food Processor: I use a small one to chop up food we eat that he isn’t able to chew yet.
Portable Booster Seat + Tray: Great for travel and doesn’t scoot around on surfaces
