Zip up sleep n plays. They make diapering at night and anytime a breeze because they zip and don't SNAP. They also keep footsies warm on trips to and from car etc. I buy em if I see em because they are kinda hard to spot.
The nasal aspirator from the hospital. If you ever have a kid, SAVE THIS FROM THR HOSPITAL!!! Hands down best suctioner EVER.
Boppy pillow for breastfeeding. No explanation really needed here.
Boppy bouncy seat. Need to do dishes, eat a sandwich, take a break from baby, laundry, anything?? This is where she likes to be. When she was really little and I was scared to leave her alone, I used to put the seat right in the bathroom so I could watch her while I showered.
The lesser known Woombie: My baby LOVES to be swaddled. She sleeps SO good when she is tightly swaddled. Well before she slept through the night, I tried to keep our bedroom really dark at the middle of the night feeding. Swaddling is a lot harder in the DARK and when you are basically sleepwalking. The woombie allows a quick zip up and the piece of mind to know your swaddle blanket isn't riding up maybe suffocating her. I can almost attribute her sleeping through the night so quickly to this one product. I just ordered the big baby size this past weekend because I think she is outgrowing the newborn size too fast. I know i know, it's like a baby straightjacket. but hey - she loves it.
The ever loved pack n play. She sleeps in this every night in our room. Basically every diaper has been changed in the diaper changer. she loves the mobile during diaper changes (even though Steve HATES rockabye baby - it scares him about the "down will come baby, cradle and all" ...I kinda agree...!). Pretty soon, once the whole back to work schedule gets in sinc, we will probably moved her upstairs to her crib. I'll probably cry.
These are some things we couldn't have done without, and still can't live without. Most everything else is just EXTRA.
