Witney Carson is a true triple threat: She’s a dancer, she’s a founder and, as a mom of soon-to-be three kids, she can wrangle a house full of boys like no other. Since winning season 34 of Dancing with the Stars with her celebrity partner, Robert Irwin, Carson has had quite the year. She appeared as a guest judge, mentor and co-host on the reality spin-off series Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro and simultaneously announced her third pregnancy while competing on season 35 of DWTS with the fan-favorite underdog Guillermo Rodriguez.

Ahead of her due date and in partnership with Pampers to promote the Pampers Baby Registry Sweepstakes (where between now and 11/23, 50 families will win $1,500 toward baby essentials when they add Pampers to their registries—here's how to enter), I sat down with the 33-year-old multihyphenate to chat through the top ten items she can’t live without as a seasoned boy mom.

Friday Baby

1. Frida Baby NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator

“I always thought it was such a weird item, but I actually used it so much when my boys were little. And then [as they grew] I just kept it with me. We travel so much and the boys are constantly getting stuffy noses, so that really has been a lifesaver.”

2. Hatch Go Portable Sound Machine

“My boys sleep so much better with a white noise machine, especially when we're taking naps on the airplane.”

Active Earth

3. Active Earth Organic Hypochlorous Acid Spray

“I spray it on their toothbrushes, on the bottom of their shoes. We've tried to get in the habit of them taking their shoes off before coming [inside], but of course, that never happens. [Hypochlorous acid] is a natural antibacterial, so we spray it everywhere.”

4. MAGNA-TILES

“My boys are all about building, and these actually come in a really contained tray. This is a good one for road trips, too.”

5. Beddy’s Zipper Bedding

“Beddy’s is basically a sleeping bag that you put on the mattress [which] the kids can zip up to get in the habit of making their bed. They've got their little space, and I don't have to worry about a top sheet, comforter or extra blankets.”

6. LittleHippo Mella Kids Sleep Training Clock

“Basically, it turns green when the kids are allowed to come out of their room, yellow when they can wake up and red for sleep time. So if they wake up before the sun, then they know, okay, I have to go back to sleep. Otherwise, they'd be roaming around my house in the middle of the night.”

7. Bath Bombs with Surprise Toys Inside

“Every holiday, [the kids] get a big bunch of these. Right now, it's a superhero bath bomb and they actually get excited [for bathtime], which for me is one less thing I have to fight them over.”

8. Pampers Easy Ups

“When it comes down to it, everyone needs diapers and I've used Pampers with all my babies. [My youngest] still uses the toddler pull-ups right now for nighttime.”

9. Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater Stain Treater

“It gets rid of literally anything—ketchup stains, juice stains, dirt stains. We take it everywhere.”

10. OmieBox Kids Bento Lunch Box

“I'm a big foodie, so I have to bring healthy options for the kids [when traveling]. I bring their bento lunch boxes, and I usually pack something for them in there, like fruits, vegetables and Chomps Beef Sticks.”
