 | Boppy Bounce in Comfort Bouncer
my son napped in this for the first few months which was great, there is a vibrate button that is on a timer so the battery doesn't run down.
|
 | Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center, 2008
Buy new: $189.95 our son slept in this at night for the first five weeks. without it i don't know how much sleeping we would have done. at 8 months he'll still sit in it and swing for a while so i can get some stuff done.
|
 | Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
Buy new: $69.00 the best gift we have gotten by far. from age 3 months he started using the "jumpy" as we call it. every day he jumps for atleast an hour. i have taken many showers while the jumpy has occupied our son. he has even fallen asleep jumping in it. tooo cute!
|
 | Itzbeen Baby Care Timer, Blue
Buy new: $17.14 as a new parent you have to write down times for everything, when was the last time you fed and changed the baby and how long it's been since he slept or has been sleeping. this time has a button for it all. i promise at three am you will not be able to figure up in your mind how many hours it's been between feedings. all you have to do is look at your display and you'll know!

|
 | Original Maya Wrap Sling (Not Padded)-Medium -OLIVE GREEN
Buy new: $62.95 i actually made my own ring sling but it is a great thing to have! many times i carried around a sleeping baby while i swept the floors and folded clothes. now that he's 8 months and getting heavier it's a great thing to give my arms a break.
|
 | Graco LiteRider Stroller, Tango in the Tongo
great stroller now that our son is older he loves to ride in it and it's perfect for napping. however he does seem to get hot in it and will sweat but if you put a light blanket between him and the back he doesn't get so hot.
|
 | Infantino Go Go Rider Carrier in Navy/Blue Plaid
Buy new: $23.94 i actually thought that my husband would use this more than i would but i used it a good bit. easily washable and breathable vents for the baby.
|
 | Earth's Best Organic Sesame Street Crunchin' Crackers, Original, 5.3-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $15.66 i figure why not go with organic if it's affordable and these are that. i have to break these crackers up since our son isn't yet proficient at chewing.
|

got one of these as a gift and i doubted i'd use it much but i was wrong! i used it a lot, especially when i was getting comfortable with breastfeeding in public and getting things down pat.
|
 | Infantino Family Tree Activity Toy
one of my son's favorite toys to play with, we keep it in the car and attach it to his carseat. he plays with it constantly and keeps him occupied on trips.
|
 | JJ Cole Logic Bag - Silver/Graphite
good for a shorter trip out when you don't want to carry around a lot of bulk. very handy and easy to keep out of the way.
|
 | JJ Cole Swaddle Blanket - Blue Stripe
great soft blanket. a bit small to swaddle once baby gets a bit bigger but still a great blanket.
|
 | Luna Lullaby Soothing Swaddle Blanket - Zoom-Zoom Z's 3 pack
Buy new: $30.28 a bit expensive but GREAT swaddle blankets. they aren't too thick so the baby won't get hot but they are large enough to keep baby snug for longer than you can with the smaller swaddler blankets.
|
 | Tersano lotus LBU100 Sanitizing System
Buy new: $189.99 / Used from: $128.96 this is a great thing to have, scientifically proven to sanitize and kill bacteria. i use it to clean our fruits and veggies as well as bottles and pacifiers. great gift.

|
 | The Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp
Buy new: $9.22 / Used from: $2.31 THE best book i read for post baby/how to calm, soothe and comfort your baby. maybe we were just lucky and got a good baby but the techniques really did work for us.
|
 | Carter's Baby Boy or Girl 4PK White L/S Bodysuit White 24 months
carter's is by far the best brand of baby bodysuit. in my opinion gerber brand run VERY small and are very thin and seem to be more cheaply made. the carter's ones are thicker and seem to be more accurately sized.
|
 | Black Dinosaur Skidders Sock Shoes (baby to toddler)
GREAT shoes for a baby who has just learned to walk! we have hardwood floors and with socks there can be a lot of slippage, bumps and bruises. these shoes have great grip, however we have to put socks on our son's feet or they sweat a lot.
