I honestly don't know what I would have done without this during the first 3 months. It instantly soothed my newborn son and made him feel like he was back in the womb. Mine is actually a Nojo Original BabySling, also designed by Dr. Sears. This is apparently no longer available but the Balboa sling appears to be a similar design, with an added pocket on the outside.

My go-to baby book. It has lots of useful advice and information. An attatchment parenting book.

Essential. There's a reason why it's so popular.

I put these over the changing pad cover so whenever it gets messy all I have to do is put a clean one on. This was a daily occurance in the newborn period. With these you'll only need one or two changing pad covers. You can also use them as a bassinet pad or portable changing pad. They really have multiple uses, as their name implies. I bought the Especially for Baby brand at Babies R Us.

I started out with a nursing cover that you throw over the shoulder, but I realized that it's important to be able to see your baby's face while breastfeeding. This nursing cover has a wire at the neckline that allows you to do just that. Good design.

I like the fact that this rocker can be used into toddlerhood. That makes it a better value. My son gets excited by the toys and he starts kicking his feet, which makes it rock a little bit. It keeps him entertained for a few minutes while I shower or get a few things done.

My son finds this fascinating. He gets really excited about it.

My exclusively breastfed baby gets an occasional bottle of pumped milk. He goes from breast to bottle without any nipple confusion with these bottles.

I use this for short trips when I don't want to carry the big diaper bag. I keep it in the car and use it when I grocery shop or run errands.

I've used this from the first bath and it has always kept my baby perfectly positioned and can be used through toddlerhood.

I use this daily to prevent diaper rash and it works great.

This product is awesome for removing mucous from little noses. It's totally hygienic, effective and unique. My son doesn't seem to mind it and sometimes he even seems to like it!

Poop stains. I keep an OxiClean solution (already mixed) in a container in the laundry room so whenever something gets soiled I just put it in and leave it soaking until the next load of laundry. Works great.
