 | PRIMO EuroBath Pearl White
Buy new: $17.39 Bigger than the Infant/Toddler tub we originally bought, and it should last until Gabriel is much older. Now we can still use the kitchen counter for baths and save our backs!
|
 | BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Active - Sporty Black
Buy new: $92.64 The Active version has better back/shoulder support than the other varieties, which is a must.
|
 | Silly Billyz Purple Pocket Bib
These are the best bibs, bar none.
|
 | Phil and Ted's MeToo Chair - Red
Buy new: $44.99 Great for dining out! Won't fit really thick tables but works at 90% of the restaurants we've tried.
|
 | Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Diapers, Size 1 (8-14 Lbs), Economy Plus Pack, 180 Diapers
Buy new: $41.99 Wish they would have had the sensitive version when Gabriel was born; the regular swaddlers are great, too.
|
 | Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
Buy new: $72.96 Nifty toy with cute music. Gabriel was using this when he was 3-4 months old and loved it! He doesn't like to sit in it now, but he will go out of his way to turn the music on while he's playing with something else.
|
 | Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Starlight
Buy new: $113.37 Gabriel slept in this until he was 4 months old, and we used it to keep him contained while we were in the shower until he was 9 months old. MUST get one with an AC adaptor plug-in, which most swings don't have.
|
 | Bumbo Baby Sitter
Buy new: $41.38 This is great when baby cannot quite sit up by himself; I didn't have the tray you can buy to go with it, but I might get it next time.
|
 | Fisher-Price Baby Papasan Infant Seat - Natural
Buy new: $50.93 Had a relatively short life at our house but was useful while it lasted.
|
 | Medela Breastmilk Storage and Feeding Set
Buy new: $23.99 The best bottles - BPA free. I also use the Medela slow-flow nipples.
|
 | SwaddleDesigns Organic Ultimate Receiving Blanket - Natural with Orange Trim
Buy new: $29.99 The best swaddle blankets - get several! They also come in non-organic and a variety of great colors.
|
 | The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $8.00 The most important DVD you will ever own in those first few weeks. If you're ambitious, get the accompanying book, too.
|
 | Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Color Handheld Video Monitor
Buy new: $184.00 The BEST baby monitor. We hook it up to our TV and watch him go to sleep every night (this monitor has a bigger screen than the similar one at BabiesRUs).
|
 | Bosom Baby Ivory Fuzzie Nursing Pillow
Buy new: $62.95 Absolutely THE best nursing pillow out there. Period. I still use mine daily for nursing, and it also makes a great back support pillow for sleeping. Worth every penny and more.
|
 | Medela Sleep Nursing Bra
Buy new: $19.99 The most comfortable and easiest nursing bra out there.
|
 | BabyBjorn Bib for Baby Carrier
Buy new: $15.48 A must-have accessory for the BabyBjorn. They come in packs of two; get at least two packs.
|
 | phil&teds Sport Buggy Doubles Kit Red
Buy new: $89.00 This stroller is great for so many reasons - it'll last from birth until the baby is 4+ years old, and you can add a doubles kit in case you have another baby! Expensive, but worth the investment.
|
 | DEX Products Sound Sleeper SS-01
Buy new: $24.95 We had a heart sounds bear as well as the Sleep Sheep, but neither of those will last through the night. This white noise machine has a rain sound that does the trick and masks the rest of the house noises so we don't have to tiptoe around and worry about waking the baby.
|
 | Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium
Buy new: $36.69 I have the original one of these - not this one. Gabriel still plays with it during naps and going to sleep at night. The music is great. I bought mine on eBay, and it's worth the investment to get the original.
|
 | SafeFit Baby In Sight
Buy new: $12.99 "THE" mirror to have in the car.
|
 | Easy Expression Bustier Hands-free Pumping Bra
Buy new: $20.00 - $31.99 Yep, it's weird, but it is such a brilliant idea; how else can you get anything done (or just relax) when you're pumping?
|
 | Push Around Buggy (Red)
Buy new: $46.90 Gabriel has been using this daily since he was about 7 months old. He loves it. A definite must-have.
