Extremely helpful when shopping for baby or making a registry. If you don't buy anything else on this list buy this book to keep things simple.

This and the stroller are the hardest purchases. My son used the infant car seat until 8 months. This does fit in our Corolla and is very plush.

I know its another stroller, but the matching infant car seat goes right on this frame. Worth every penny early on.

I didn't expect great things from a $17 monitor and was pleasantly surprised.

Babies kick off all blankets. This blanket zips up and stays on baby. The armholes are too small for his chubby arms so we altered the sack.

Any wide mouth bottle is better for breastfed babies. This kit comes with a very slow flow nipple. The if the milk comes out too fast, your little sweetheart may like it better than your breasts. I keep hearing that the babies out grow the 4 ounce bottle very quickly so don't buy too many. They also turn into sippy cups when you buy a special spout.

This style bib is perfect when your child is older.

You need a diaper changing area for the thousands of diapers you will change because it puts your baby at a comfortable height. We have something very similar and the little drawer is nice. I measured 32 inches from the floor to the tabletop on mine in case you want to make one or use something else.

My son has a similar Kolcraft walker. It entertains my son more that anything else. And its so cute when he follows us. Walkers are safe if you use common sense.
