 | Graco Pack 'N Play Playard with Newborn Napper, Hamilton
Love the newborn napper. We keep this in our room for her to sleep in at night. Plus this will grow with her unlike a traditional cradle.
|
 | Diaper Dekor Disposable System
Buy new: $30.00 This was the only pail I could find that used biodegradable refils. The bags are easy to change out and there is no noticible smell from the can.
|
 | Fisher Price Cradle n Swing, My Little Lamb
Buy new: $133.99 A Godsend. We put her down for naps in the swing during the day. The motion helps to rock her back to sleep if she startles herself awake too early. The only negative about it is that it runs on batteries. I wish it had the option to plug it in.
|
 | Gerber 4-Pack Long Sleeve Onesies Brand One Piece Underwear
Buy new: $11.90 - $12.99 She lives in long sleeved onsies and side snap tees (my husbands favorite because of easy diaper access). The sleeves fold over to buy you some time between nail trimmings.
|
 | SEVENTH GENERATION Diapers - Newborn
Buy new: $9.99 At 6lbs 10 oz she was too small for size one at birth. These are the only newborn diapers that acutally fit her without leaks.
|
 | Earth's Best Wipes Value Pack, 480-Count
These wipes are awesome. They are thick and have a good amount of wetness to them. We tried Huggies and Pampers first, but they were too harsh for her skin. The Earth's Best wipes are perfect and they smell nice too.
|
 | Puj Tub - The Soft, Foldable Baby Bath Tub, White
Buy new: $39.99 A little pricey for a baby bath but it's super easy to use and store. Plus it cradles her so she feels more secure.
|
 | The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $8.03 The tips in this video are super simple and actually work. My husband really liked it too. After watching it we had the right tools to combat her occasional fussiness.
|
 | TKO Anti Burst Fitness Stability Ball (65cm)
Buy new: $17.54 / Used from: $11.11 Bouncing her on the exercise ball was the only thing that calmed her down some nights. Plus it earns bonus points for help you get your belly back in shape at the same time.
|
 | Philips AVENT ISIS Manual Breast Pump, White
Buy new: $39.99 I love the nipple stimulation insert. It really helped me with let-down and prepared me for using the electric pump. I also had some nipple damage due to improper latching early on. I used this pump while I healed because I could control the suction much better.
|
 | Ameda Purely Yours Ultra Breast Pump
Buy new: $271.99 It allows you to have different settings for the amount and speed of the suction. This pump has a closed system, meaning the milk only goes into the containers and not into the tubing. This saves some time on cleanup - which you will be doing a lot of.
|
 | aden + anais 100% Cotton 4 Pack Muslin Swaddle Blanket, Safari Friends
Buy new: $34.63 Hands down the best swaddle blankets. They are huge and light weight and get softer with each washing.
|
 | Panasonic DMC-LX3S 10.1MP Digital Camera with 2.5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Buy new: $391.80 / Used from: $275.00 A decent camera is a must have. This model also has HD video which is a nice bonus. We take a ton of pictures and videos.
|
 | Summer Infant Snuzzler Velboa for Head and Body Support, Chocolate
The head support that came with her car seat was a joke. This really helps keep her head secure, even when the ride gets bumpy.
|
 | Jeep Liberty Limited All Terrain 3 Wheel Stroller - Galaxy
Buy new: $239.75 She's still too small to sit directly in it, but it has straps that allow you to secure an infant carseat inside. It has a really smooth feel and the handle height is perfect for both myself and my husband. It looks cool too.
|
 | BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original - Black, Classic
Buy new: $68.60 It took a while before she could fit into it, but now that she does we use it for walks in the neighborhood. It's also nice for crowded areas that are difficult to navigate with a stroller. I bought ours off of ebay for $15.
|
 | Born Free - Gift Set
Buy new: $37.95 They do seem to help with spit-up, although they don't prevent it all together. We replaced the nipples with Avent Level 1's though. She was gulping down milk too quickly with the Born Free nipples. The Avent level 1's have a slower flow than the Born Free nipples and force her to finish more slowly and be less fussy at the breast.
|
 | Philips AVENT 2 Pack BPA Free Classic Newborn Nipple
Buy new: $4.99 Super slow flow rate good for breast fed babies who also take a bottle. Helps keep them from getting fussy at the breast which flows slower than most bottles.
|
 | Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse Blue
Buy new: $14.24 She loves the sea horse. It helps settle her down to sleep for her afternoon naps. The music is quite soothing. I like that it is portable so we can take it with us if she sleeps away from home when she gets older.
|
 | Playtex Ortho-Pro Silicone Newborn Pacifier
Buy new: $6.35 The hospital gave her this and it is the only pacifier she'll take. She's not overly interested in it, but it helps occasinoally if she is fussy and isn't ready for another feeding yet.
|
 | Munchkin Travel Diaper Changing Kit (colors may vary)
This pad is nice because you can toss it into any bag. We bought a diaper bag but don't use it. Instead, we use one of my husband's tactical bags and put this pad inside. It works out great.
|
 | Gerber 12-Pack Prefold Birdseye 3-Ply Cloth Diapers with Padding - White
Buy new: $39.99 The best burp cloths you can buy. They are super absorbant and clean up easily in the wash.
|
 | Hit the Ground Crawling: Lessons From 150,000 New Fathers by Greg Bishop

|
 | Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 5th Edition: Birth to Age 5 (Shelov, Caring for your Baby and Young Child, Birth to Age 5) by American Academy Of Pediatrics
Buy new: $13.41 / Used from: $6.89 We do most of our research on the Internet but sometimes it's nice to have a book to flip through. Our doctor recommended this one and we have referenced it quite a lot over the first month.

It mixes up really nice and the probiotics are supposed to help with digestion. She hasn't had any constipation since we switched from carnation good start and similac. Sign up for coupons at the enfamil website. You'll also probably get samples at your hospital - if not, ask while you're there.
