Why this made my shortlist: A popular option many moms consider during postpartum shedding. Best for: thinning/hair fallout around months 2–4 postpartum. Why it works (per brand): multi-nutrient formula targeting stress, nutrition, and hormones. Tip: consistency matters—set a daily reminder; always check with your healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, or on meds.

Why this made my shortlist: Supportive, comfy, and adjustable as baby grows—great for hands-free walks and naps. Best for: 7–45 lb (check manufacturer), front-inward, front-outward, and back carry. Why it works: padded straps + ergonomic seat support hips and your back. Tip: watch the brand’s fit video; start with short wears around the house to dial in strap height.

Why this made my shortlist: Soft, bouncy, and blends base in seconds—perfect for 10-minute makeup. Best for: tinted SPF, concealer, cream blush. Why it works: the plush texture sheers or builds coverage without streaks. Tip: use damp for sheer, dry for more coverage; store in a ventilated case.
