In this episode of The Motherhood Process, Autumn Akins reveals her secret weapons – six highly-loved items that have become indispensable to her daily life with baby Riot. From game-changing gear that supports your child's development, to unexpected favorites that bring pure joy to routines, Autumn shares the products that have truly made a difference. She even unveils a personal "mom hack" that isn't technically for baby, but has profoundly shifted her mindset and brought back a lost piece of herself during postpartum. Tune in to discover the practical tools and surprising insights that help bring "peace and simplicity" and "kind of sanity" to the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

• Sleepsacks so good, they're on their third baby and "still buttery soft".
• The inexpensive teether that Riot is "absolutely obsessed with".
• A baby seat designed with physical therapists, offering a healthier alternative.
• The "splurge" stroller that's been a "family's vehicle" for years and multiple children.
