Congratulations on your little bun in the oven! If you're anything like me, you probably discovered you were pregnant and then fell head-first into a rabbit hole of baby gear blogs, only to emerge hours later with a panic-induced craving for chocolate chip cookies (or pickles—a classic). Don’t worry, darling, you’re not alone. Let’s be honest, the world of baby gear can resemble something out of The Hunger Games, but with more onesies and less Katniss Everdeen.
