|
 | Baby Trend Diaper Champ in Blue
Buy new: $34.99 These are a must have. They use regular trash bags, and really do help with the smell. Now that my son is over a year, NOTHING can trap the smell of those diapers, but we wash the champ with baking soda, and use our LYSOL a lot!
|
 | Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes, 70 Wipes in one-touch Tub, Case Pack, 8 Tubs, 560 Wipes
Buy them in bulk at a wholesale place or wherever they are on sale. You will use these for a LONG time...not only for diaper changes. I like the smaller packages for the diaper bag. Don't use the plastic cases for the diaper bag. They never hold enough, and the wipes dry out quickly.

From about 8 months on, you can't have enough of these. My son loves the ones with the doggies on the feet.

|
 | Kiddopotamus & Co Microfleece SwaddleMe® Ivory - Small
Buy new: $9.99 Never used one, but wish they had come out when my son was born. He loved to be swaddled. As long as you have big enough receiving blankets, those work well too. The baby usually only gets swaddled the first month or two.
|
 | 10-Pack Washcloths
Buy MANY. My child is 18 months old, and we still use them for cleaning up after a meal, in the tub, at a restaurant, you name it. I would suggest at least 10. Also, buy some thick ones and some thin ones. You will find you like ones for certain tasks, and others for other tasks.
|
 | Philips Avent Newborn Starter Set
Buy new: $24.15 I LOVE these bottles. My son had no troubles using these bottles and breastfeeding. No nipple confusion. He was finger fed the first week of his life. He was a breasfed/similac baby. Also these because they have sippy cut attachments to their bottles too, so you really do use the bottles for a long time.
|
 | The First Years Modular Drying Rack
Buy new: $12.99 I used a lot of bottles during the first year, and I found I was washing them often, so I used a drying rack a lot. Plus I found the dishwasher did great with the bottles, but not so good with the nipples, so I usually washed those by hand.
|
 | Basic Comfort Contoured Changing Pad
Buy new: $24.98 We used this on top of our bathroom counter, and it worked wonderful. It saved us from having to buy a changing table.
|
 | Basic Comfort Ultra Plush Change Pad Cover - Lilac
Buy two or three..these get dirty fast, and be prepared to buy more as the child gets bigger.
|
 | Medela New Pump in Style Original Breast Pump
Buy new: $249.99 I love this breast pump. It worked great, especially when I returned to work. I barely ever did both breasts at the same time, but I loved the option. I started using this from day one and used it up until I stopped breastfeeding. Medela is a great brand!

Buy new: $12.49 If you have enough milk to store, these are a must have.

|
 | Gerber Short Sleeved Onesies White - 4 pack, 3T Fits 32-35 lbs.
Short sleeve, long sleeve, in all sizes. My child wore these the first couple of weeks because he was too big to fit into newborn, and too little for other sizes. Plus it was August, and it was hot. A onesie and a pair of pants worked out great. Plus, buy a couple of white ones, and you can use craft ink, and make your own onesies.
|
 | Avent Translucent Clear Newborn Pacifier 0 - 3 Months
Buy new: $6.95 We had these, and we used them!!! Our son had to be under the billi-lights for the first week, and so these came in handy. We also got the ones that glow in the dark, so when he lost one, it was easy for us to find without having to turn on the lights.
|
 | No-scratch Baby Mitts 2-pair Pack
