Ok, I always go back and forth about doing any sort of Black Friday write-up. As a mama and a consumer, this weekend stresses me out! And it’s also the weekend we celebrate the birth of my first baby (and my mama, who passed away a couple years ago), so it’s a lot all around for me and my brain.
Equally so, it is so hard to not want to make sure you (or I) don’t miss some of the deals that are out there. It is no joke that having a baby IS pricey, so if we can save some money while we prepare, I want you to! So – here we are.
Ok, so all that being said, I did decide to do a focus on 12 brands/products – my 2023 Black Friday Dozen. If an item is on this list, it is something I love, use, recommend, and would buy again. If you’re considering it (or an item like it) at all, I don’t want you to miss these sales.
If you are interested in more than just this dozen, here are some links to my other spaces that have my favorites, discounts, and deals you can use (both right now and year round).
- TLM’s The Shop (all discount codes linked here)
- TLM’s Amazon Store (see boards related to pregnancy, postpartum, recovery, newborn, and more)!
- TLM’s Like to Know It

The Black Friday Dozen: Must Haves for Mama + Bump
Ok, let’s get into this top 12 I wanted to share with you. I’ve loosely divided my choices up into some general categories (for mom, for feeding, for babywearing, etc.). Let me know if you have any Q’s. Happy shopping, my friend!
Deals for the postpartum mom
AMAZON
I know, I’m cheating. This isn’t one item. But I did but a Black Friday Amazon board together that links 50 of my favorite items for both mom and baby. You’ll see stuff for pregnancy, postpartum, feeding, baby wearing, gifts for toddlers and other kids, life around the house, and so much more. If you see it, I love it.
BODILY
I am totally sold on The Everything Bra for day to day and pumping, The So Easy Bra when you just want to feel a little prettier, the new Effortless Bra I love, and the Mesh Undies for postpartum. I’m 99% certain that I will be wearing the Everything Bra at the hospital when baby #4 shows up! And I will then be cycling through the other styles as the days and weeks go by.
*GET THE DEAL: XXXXXX
LARKEN
I would snag The Larken Duo! The Signature Tank Top is my absolute favorite for wearing/nursing in. I also have always been able to wear it through pregnancy; it never loses it’s stretch! And I LOVE sleeping in The Larken X bra (which is also a hands free pumping bra). It is so, so comfortable.
*GET THE DEAL: Up to 30% off, prices as marked.
COZY EARTH
Pajamas, sheets, the joggers – there’s a reason Oprah keeps picking these products as her favorite thing. It is all SO wonderful and soft. And the pajamas are the perfect (stretchable) gift for a pregnant mama that will also work when nursing/postpartum.

Deals for baby
KYTE BABY: I didn’t get to use their sleep bags until my 3rd baby, but I am so sold. I LOVE that they come in different weights, they are so soft, and there are SO many colors. The price has always been the hardest thing here for me – but they’re going on discount! GET THE DEAL: 20% off Sleep Bags on 11/26 (only).
TUBBY TODD: I’ve talked about them a lot, but it’s because I love their goodies. The allover ointment will always be my favorite thing, but as my girls have grown we’ve become avid fans of their hair care products too (especially the detangler) and the sunscreen stick. They’re biggest sale of the year is this weekend. *GET THE DEAL: 15% off sitewide OR 20% off order of $100+ 11/25 – 11/29.
Deals for babywearing
LILLEBABY: This is the one friends. I LOVE my Complete All Seasons carrier (40% off in Stone). This is the carrier that has been on hundreds of plane rides and all over the world; I really can’t speak highly enough about it. Lillebaby is having a ton of sales throughout the whole weekend. *GET THE DEAL: 20-40% off 11/25 – 11/29.
Soft wraps, sleepers, the Loop, and mama joggers. I love it all. My babies love it all. I wear it all. They’re doing 20% off all weekend PLUS extra daily promotions. *GET THE DEAL: 20% OFF 11/23 – 11/28.
Deals for feeding baby
HAAKAA: If you don’t have a milk collection tool yet for let-down, you need one. Please. I’m not joking. This one is super affordable and crazy cheap this weekend. GET THE DEAL: 5.4oz size and 4 oz size 30-40% off plus an additional 10%.
ELVIE: I have yet to try an Elvie product I don’t love. Both Elvie Catch (for milk catching) and Elvie Curve (for light expression) are on sale this weekend. *GET THE DEAL: 25% off Curve and Catch
Ok, sneaking one last thing in here too. Technically not a Black Friday product, but I can give you a great discount on it! I have a really good deal on Lactation Link’s Breastfeed With Confidence Course Bundle (aka 50% off)! *GET THE DEAL: Use code THELABORMAMA100 to save $100!
