Yes, You Really Need the Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine!
One of our must have baby items is a sound machine - specifically the Hatch Rest. Emily and I both got one for our boys in 2020. When Emily had Rea in 2022, she got another and at 32 weeks pregnant (surprise!) I just ordered one for Baby #2’s nursery. 4 kids between the 2 of us and we’ve now purchased a Hatch Rest 4x which clearly shows how vital we think it is.

The Best Kitchen Helper Toddler Tower for Independent Kids!
I always knew that I would want R to be involved in the kitchen and develop the same love for eating and cooking with real foods.
