 | Terry Contoured Changing Pad Cover - White
Fits very well over the contoured changing pad. We got four, two for upstairs, two for downstairs. White covers are bleachable!
|
 | Fisher-Price Deluxe Jumperoo
A big hit with our first guy, he loved this thing. He was a jumping maniac!
|
 | The First Year's Infant To Toddler Tub with Sling, Blue
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $11.86 Love the infant 'hammock' that comes with this, that made bathing much less nerve wracking. Using it again with baby #2 and it's great.
|
 | Boppy Luxe Slipcover- Blue
If you have a Boppy nursing pillow, you need one or two extra Boppy covers. Worth having multiples when baby spits up on the boppy at 3 am...I'm just sayin'
|
 | Medela Nursing Stool
Buy new: $27.95 Another indispensable item for me. Had a rough time with nursing, anything that made it more comfortable was worth its weight in gold for me. We bought two, one for baby's room & one for downstairs.
|
 | Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural
Buy new: $149.99 We had this by our bed and used it until our first son transitioned to his big crib around 6 weeks. Good as a free-standing bassinet too. I like having the pockets on the sides and the space underneath for storing diapers, wipes, changes of clothes, burp cloths, etc.
|
 | Basic Comfort Ultimate Crib Sheet
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $18.36 Indispensable. Best w/cribs that have slats on all 4 sides. Bought 2 and stacked them on top of eachother on crib. Took top sheet off and voila, a new clean sheet. Big help at 4 a.m.
|
 | Dr. Brown's 4 oz Natural Flow Baby Bottle, 3 Pack
Buy new: $19.99 A pain to clean, but great for feeding gassy/colicky/refluxy babies (not that you're going to have one like that, but just in case..)
|
 | Munchkin Deluxe Bottle And Food Warmer With Pacifier Cleaning Basket
Buy new: $19.99 Can be used to steam sterilize pacifiers and other small items as well. I love that it beeps when it's done and has a quick reference card that stores in the back of the unit. Good buy.
|
 | Moby Wrap Original 100% Cotton Baby Carrier, Black
Buy new: $39.95 Ok, this is THE infant sling/carrier to get if you have a baby with acid reflux. It's tricky to get the hang of, and I found myself referring back to the directions several times to get the hang of it. But my baby won't tolerate any other but this one.
|
 | Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing
The travel swings work just as well as the big versions and take up waaaay less space. And they can be moved from room to room easily, a big plus if you have a fussy/colicky/refluxy baby (not that you will, but if you do..)
|
 | Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Base, Silver
Buy new: $29.54 If you have two cars, get an extra car seat base so you don't have to switch it back and forth. You'll be glad you did.
|
 | Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
Buy new: $63.84 If you get the Graco travel system, it's worth picking this up too. It seems redundant, but in the early days after delivery, (esp. after a c-section) you won't want to have to lug/lift the big stroller that comes with the travel system.
|
 | Gerber 12-Pack Prefold Birdseye 3-Ply Cloth Diapers with Padding - White
Buy new: $39.99 Whether you choose disposable or cloth diapers, this are the ultimate burp rags/clothing protectors. Can be bleached.
|
 | Basic Comfort Contoured Changing Pad by Summer Infant
Buy new: $26.49 / Used from: $23.36 It won't keep a really active baby from tossing himself off the table, but it'll slow 'em down a little.
|
 | American Baby Company 2 Pack Waterproof Quilted Lap and Burp Pad Covers Set
Buy new: $11.90 Use these to protect your crib sheets & changing pad cover, pack one in your diaper bag for an instant changing pad, we use these every day.
|
 | Munchkin The Medicator, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $3.49 After a certain age, this was the only way we could administer medication to our first child, we had to sneak it in via this pacifier while he was sleeping. Not that you will have a baby that is difficult to medicate, but if you do, this is indispensable.
|
 | Balmex Diaper Rash Cream with Aloe & Vitamin E, 4 oz
Buy new: $4.19 You'll need it, cloth or disposable diapers.
|
 | Mylicon Infant Dye Free Drops, Simethicone Anti-Gas, 1-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)
A must for fussy/colicky babies. May aggravate reflux in some babies if it is not controlled.
|
 | Aveeno Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion, 12-Ounce Pumps
Buy new: $7.75 Great for moms, especially when you don't get to shower regularly.. at least you can smell better ;)
|
 | Soothies Gel Pads
Buy new: $9.45 IF you plan to breastfeed, get these. If you never end up needing them, you are truly blessed indeed. BUt if you're like the rest of us (particularly if you are very fair skinned) you may need them.
These saved me from quitting breastfeeding altogether. I love, love LOVE this product.
