![]() | Philips Avent Express Microwave Sterilizer
Buy new: $28.99 Very simple to use, much more convenient than running the dishwasher or buying dozens of bottles. Simply microwave for 2 minutes and your bottles, pacifiers, pumps etc are sterile.

![]() | Philips Avent 3 Pack 9oz Bottles
Buy new: $25.05 I recommend two packs of these (the sterilizer comes with two 9 oz bottles). Very easy to assemble/disassemble, no leaks. Get extra number 1 (or newborn nipples) if you are also breastfeeding or your child spits up.
|
![]() | Philips Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer
Buy new: $39.00 Could be a little more functional, (why no timer?) but much easier than warming water then warming the bottle in that. The low temperature setting works well at defrosting frozen breast milk.
|
![]() | Philips Avent 3 Pack 4oz Bottles
Buy new: $20.00 The smaller size bottles are far more convenient for out and about as they take up less space(and of course for the first couple of months). They come with newborn nipples. Again no leaks, easy to put together
|
![]() | Avent 8 oz. Nurser
Buy new: $9.99 We use VIA for expressed breast milk storage. Far less expensive than using regular bottles but the conversion neck allows you to use the nipples and lids from the regular bottles AND connects neatly to the breast pump.

![]() | Cloud b Sleep Sheep - Four Soothing Sounds From Nature
Buy new: $21.85 White noise maker, looks attractive, attaches securely to crib. Our child finds it very soothing and we don't mind the tracks at all, rain and beach are our favorites! Initially thought a noise machine was an extra but it has really been a huge help, with it on our child will happily put herself to sleep alone in her crib.

![]() | Avent Translucent Pacifier, Clear NB
Buy new: $6.99 The only non-garish pacifier out there, comes with a convenient cover making it easy to stash in your purse/pocket.

![]() | Bumkins Organic Cotton Satin Touch Receiving Blanket - Sage
I have the bumkins swaddle blankets, which are hands down the best blankets for swaddling (pun intended). There are soft, wash fabulously well and the natural organic cotton looks good with everything. Our baby is long and skinny and the "easy-swaddle" blankets just don't fit right. They fold down nicely making them an easy addition to the diaper bag as both a blanket and a nursing coverup.

![]() | Gerber Flannel Burp Cloths - 4 pack - Girl's Colors
Buy new: $19.70 Whilst cloth diapers are much more economical choice as something for the baby to puke on these have the huge advantage of NOT sliding off your shoulder.
|
![]() | Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White and Grey
Several features make this monitor stand out, firstly no batteries to buy as the units can be plugged into the wall to recharge, secondly 10 channels is ideal when you and all your neighbors have wireless internet, cordless phones, their own baby monitors, thirdly the lights are ideal for keeping an eye on baby whilst you are watching tv.
