As a Mom of Two, These Are the Only Prime Day Deals I Care About
A lot of people use Prime Day (which is happening now!) to invest in pricy tech or furniture. Not me. As a mom of a 4-year-old and a 10-month-old, I rely heavily on Amazon to keep my house running smoothly (I won't lie, there's nothing smooth about it).
I wish I could tell you I proactively buy diapers in bulk from warehouse stores so I can save money or, better yet, that I use cloth diapers to help save the environment. I do not. I frantically reorder the same box of Huggies from Amazon every time daycare tells me they're out. The same goes for wipes, formula, you get it.
That's why Prime Day is one of my favorite sales of the year: It's the one time I browse through my order history and add any kid-related item I'm constantly reordering to my cart that's on sale—in bulk.
After weeks of obsessing over Prime Day deals for my job, I'm sharing all the kids essentials I'm stocking up on this year below, including the FridaBaby Snotsucker for 30% off (if you know you know) and Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater for 26% off (the 4 oz bottle is perfect for diaper bags). These are steals. I've reordered them enough times to know.All parents know what this is—and how grimy they are after cold and flu season. I'm grabbing two new ones to use next year.
$13.99 at amazon.comAfter a few sprays of Miss Mouth's, you can almost immediately see results on even the trickiest of stains (even berries!). I use it liberally and always need a refill.
$7.40 at amazon.comThe detangler we use every day sadly isn't on sale, but I'm so excited to try this 3-in-1 shampoo for my 4-year-old now that her hair is longer.
$9.39 at amazon.comI've used Babyganics' lotion on my kids for years, but am excited to try this roller ball version that's on sale this year.
$15.99 at amazon.comThis stick glides on clear, which somehow makes the whole application process easier. I'm grabbing a fresh one for summer.
$5.52 at amazon.comNot only do these bracelets help ward off bugs, but my 4-year-old actually likes wearing them. Bug spray could never.
$35.99 at amazon.comFor extra-tough spots, I pull out this tiny bottle and let it soak on stains for a few minutes before dropping it into the washing machine. The results are impressive.
$7.99 at amazon.comI've tried many diaper creams, but none compare to Desitin. I was introduced to it by the nurses in the hospital with my first—enough said.
$15.17 at amazon.comThe only way I can get my preschooler to brush her teeth: Bribe her with toothbrushes with her favorite characters on them. This is the set we're currently using.
$3.19 at amazon.comThere's a reason this is a classic. I've been using it on my babies for years and can safely say it's never resulted in soap-in-the-eye-induced tears.
$7.68 at amazon.comWe go through a lot of wipes in our household and these textured WaterWipes have always been my favorite—and I've tried them all.
$33.89 at amazon.comI wash bottles every single day and refuse to use anything other than Dapple on them. I really like that it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals.
$16.92 at amazon.com
If you're all set on essentials, but still want to take advantage of Prime Day offers before the sale ends, there are a ton of appealing deals on other parenting-related items. Here are some of the baby items one of our other editors with a little one on the way is shopping this year. There are also a ton of toys on sale, so get a head start on holiday gifting and stock up now.

Here's why Target is ending its long-running ‘price matching' policy this month
Target stores won't match the prices of competitors including Amazon and Walmart after July 28 the retail chain has announced. "We've found our guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers, which reflects the great value and trust in pricing consumers see across our assortment and deals," a Target spokesperson told ABC News. The policy, introduced in 2013, allowed customers to buy items in Target stores at reduced prices if they were being sold for less on or at Amazon or Walmart. Under the new policy, the price match will only apply to lower-priced items on according to the company. Target's policy was an industry first as brick-and-mortar chains faced increasing low-price competition from online retailers. Target, which is ending its price match policy this month, has faced rising inflation, consumer boycotts, disappointing earnings, and uncertainty around Trump's tariffs (Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved) Neil Saunders, a retail analyst at the research and analytics firm GlobalData, said the change was a sign of Target's continued financial challenges. "Target's profitability and margins have weakened over recent years, and if it wants to invest more in stores, then it needs to be more financially disciplined," he told USA TODAY. "Ending price matching helps to achieve this, especially at a time when costs are rising because of tariffs. That said, this is only one part of the puzzle and there is a lot more Target needs to do to bolster its bottom line." In May, the company missed Wall Street expectations and announced sales were down 2.8 percent in the first quarter, and had declined compared with the same period in 2024. Target, along with some of its competitors, have faced financial headwinds including uncertainty over the Trump administration's on-again, off-again tariff regime, rising inflation, as well as multiple consumer boycotts in the wake of the company's decision to align with the priorities of the new administration and end some of its diversity initiatives. Target competitors such as Best Buy retain a price match offer while Amazon and Walmart do not.
