The Best for Tracking Hydration: The Momma Bottle by Bink, $38
We'd be doing a disservice to new and expecting moms everywhere if we didn't hype up the Mama Bottle by Bink.

In fact, with Bink, staying hydrated is probably the easiest thing you'll do. How? Because Bink is the first hydration tracking bottle designed perfectly for pregnancy and postpartum to help overwhelmed moms drink the recommended amount of water daily. They've considered everything, including simple-to-follow am/pm markings to guide you. And you might as well look chic AF staying hydrated! Thank god for products designed by parents.
The Best Looking Water Bottle: The Big Smooth by BKR, $48
No one can describe this bottle better than the BKR team themselves:
"This is where we'll tell you a little bit more about why we're not just a glass water bottle and why you just found your hydration soulmate and the thing that's about to become the best thing you've ever owned. First, definition and pronunciation: bkr /beak·er/ˈbēkər/ noun 1) the endlessly refillable, beautifully sustainable, original cult favorite glass water bottle (named after the glass container from chemistry class); 2) the very first ever lip balm/water bottle (the "kiss kit"), and; 3) dishwasher safe, holds no scent, clean, clear, loved. But WHY SO LOVED? You kind of have to own one to understand. bkr is a magical accumulation of little details that together feel like luxury. It's like the perfect t-shirt of water bottles. It's soft and pretty, it feels right and fits right, you want it in every color, it's effortless, you can't help but love it, and it becomes an extension of you."
Technically your new baby is actually an extension of you, but you can make room for this everyday water bottle, too!
