10 Baby Products Emily Mariko Swears By as a Second-Time Mom
From newborn must-haves to everyday lifesavers, these are the influencer’s go-to picks.

If you’ve ever found yourself oddly soothed by influencer Emily Mariko’s recipe TikToks (hi, salmon bowl), you’re definitely not alone—she's earned a seriously loyal following of more than 13 million. Emily and her husband, Matt Rickard, welcomed their first son, Teddy, in 2024—and recently shared that baby number two is on the way.
The news came via a very on-brand Thanksgiving TikTok, complete with pumpkin pies for each family member (the tiniest one hinting at the newest addition). A Christmas follow-up confirmed: Teddy’s getting a little brother.
This isn’t Mariko’s first time building a baby registry, but like many parents will tell you, round two can look pretty different. She shared with us the gear she’s choosing this time around, along with some insight into what made the cut.
Call it a little more streamlined, a little more selective—and very “been there, done that.” Here’s what Emily Mariko added to her registry for baby number two.
UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller - Savannah
From $899.99"This stroller is perfect for my growing family, with 30+ configurations! I’ll be using the toddler seat and bassinet seat configuration. It’s my perfect everyday workhorse stroller that is effortless to push and is such a smooth ride."
Maxi-Cosi Kiskadee 360 Rotating Highchair - Natural Heritage
From $399.99"I love the design of this high chair, it’s made with premium materials that are both beautiful and functional. Everything is comfortable for baby and easy to clean! I love the 360-degree rotation and the fact that it can be reconfigured to grow with my baby."
Owlet Dream Duo (Gen 3) Smart Baby Monitoring Bundle - Mint
From $313.99"There is so much going on the first few weeks with a newborn, the dream sock offers me peace of mind. I love that I’m able to see real-time health and sleep insights, and when paired with the Dream Sight, I feel more confident as a parent!"
"These are perfect for the first few months when baby is still small. There are no buckles or hard pieces, just soft fabric that feels like a hug and is so comfortable for baby and mom. Being able to babywear and have my hands free is essential for the newborn phase!"
"My favorite nursing pillow that made breastfeeding a breeze. I especially loved this as a first-time mom who didn’t know how to breastfeed, or the different positions to hold baby in. The strap goes around your entire torso and the top is flat, so all you need to do is lay baby down."
Woolino 4 Season Ultimate Baby Sleep Bag - Night Sky, 0-2 Years
From $109.00"Once baby is done with the swaddle, we move on to these Woolino sleep sacks. They are made of merino wool which means never having to worry about baby being too hot or too cold, the temperature is always perfect. Plus they are ultra-soft, wash and dry super well, and come in the cutest prints!"
Keekaroo Peanut Wipeable Changing Pad - Grey
From $149.95"Where 100 percent of diaper changes took place the first six months! The shape is perfect with raised sides, so it feels safe even when they start to roll. It’s fully wipeable and looks cute on top of a dresser."
Hatch Hatch Baby Sound Machine - Putty
From $79.99"White noise is so comforting for babies, and we don’t go a single night or nap without this machine! It’s easy to configure the settings to turn on at certain times, and can also be turned on/off with just a little tap."
Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector
From $17.97"I prefer this ladybug milk collector because there is no suction, so it doesn’t interfere with your milk supply. I’m very leaky, especially in those first few weeks of breastfeeding, so some type of milk catcher is a must!"
"We go through multiple of these a day during the newborn phase! There’s something about the shape of the KeaBabies cloths that makes it so easy to sling over your shoulder, and the fabric is so soft. We make sure to have them stocked up in every corner."
