 | Boppy Bare Naked with Miracle Middle and Pastel Dots Slipcover - Pink Multi
Buy new: $31.49 We were given two of these, and bought covers. One is enough, but that one was great. After about a week or two of nursing, I could do it hands free with this pillow, which meant that my baby and I could have breakfast at the same time. Great.

 | Skip Hop Pronto Changer Diaper Bag, Black
Buy new: $28.00 Very handy. I can fit about 6 small diapers into the mesh pocket. You can slip your wrist through the handle and have both hands free to carry the baby to a changing area, or open doors, lower changing tables, etc.

 | Basic Comfort Contoured Changing Pad by Summer Infant
Buy new: $27.89 I got one of these second- or third-hand. When we didn't have it for a few weeks, I really missed it. It's good to have a soft, safe surface to lay the baby on for diaper changes.
|
 | Prefold Cloth Diaper Basic Package - Bleached Prefolds & White Velcro Bummis Super Whisper Wraps
Buy new: $146.95 This is similar to the selection of diapers we use, and about the right number, but I would recommend getting some thinner ones in the mix because the 4x8x4's can take half of forever to dry.
|
 | Huggies Newborn Diapers Up to 10 Pounds), 40-Count Packages (Pack of 2)
These were the ones that fit best for our baby's first few weeks, before we got around to actually using the cloth diapers. I'm still using disposables for when we're out of the house.

 | Kiddopotamus Dreamsie Luxe Sleeper & Sleep Cap Double Velboa, Sage
Buy new: $17.99 This is similar to one we got, which is great for cold nights.
|
 | Winnie the Pooh Fleece Baby Blanket
|
 | Medela Contact Nipple Shield - Standard Size (24mm)
Buy new: $5.24 I was given one of these in the hospital, and I didn't like having to use it, but my baby wasn't good at latching on in her first few weeks. It saved us a lot of frustration, and by about 6 weeks we weren't using it at all, and still breastfeeding exclusively. This is the one thing on this list which I needed, but wouldn't necessarily recommend to every new mother.
|
 | Fisher-Price Playful Puppy Bouncer
Buy new: $79.95 The baby likes this well enough, and it's great to have a portable place for her to sit down when I'm trying to do other things, like take a shower.
|
 | Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat in Soft Jungle
If you drive a car, you need one of these.
|
 | Baby Trend Snap N Go
I got a plain one of these, used. Very handy for any trip in the car, to a place with pavement, and for when the baby falls asleep in the car seat.
