 | My Brest Friend Light Green Deluxe Pillow
Buy new: $44.00 This is so much better than the Boppy when breastfeeding. Much more supportive since it actually latches around your waist, preventing baby and the pillow from sliding around.

 | Halo Innovations SleepSack Wearable Blankets Micro Fleece in Cream - Small
Buy new: $19.98 Since you are not supposed to use a blanket in a crib, this is great because it keeps baby warm at night, but still lets the baby wave his/her arms and kick his/her legs. This is useful once the baby is out of the swaddling phase. These also come in cotton.
|
 | Swaddle Me Adjustable Infant Wrap - Organic Ivory (Small)
Buy new: $19.99 This is great for when the baby needs to be swaddled and it is late at night, and you don't want to think about what folds over what with a traditional swaddle blanket.
|
 | Aden and Anais Zooaroo Swaddle Wraps - Neutral
Buy new: $29.99 These are great swaddle blankets. Since they are made of muslin, they don't overheat the baby. Once the baby doesn't want to be swaddled anymore, these make great lightweight blankets and covers for the stroller.

 | Sanyo 277265 Eneloop Power Pack with Battery Charger, 8 AA & 2 AAA Batteries Plus 4 C & 4 D Size Adapter (CostCo Kit #2)
Buy new: $28.95 Stock up on those rechargeable batteries! So many kids toys and acessories (like swings) don't plug in and only take batteries. This set is great because you can use regular AA rechargeable batteries to slip into the size adapter jackets provided to create rechargeable C and D batteries.
|
 | Fisher-Price Take Along Swing- Woodlands
Buy new: $49.99 Having a swing is great for when the baby is inconsolable. This particular swing is nice for smaller spaces because it is compact, folds up for easy travel, and it is budget friendly. Word of warning, once the baby gets heavier, this swing might not move as much as when the baby was a newborn. This swing is supposed to have a weight limit of 25 lbs.

 | Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
Buy new: $56.50 This frame is made in particular for the Graco SnugRide car seat. If you have another kind of seat, you still can find similar frames. These frames allow the baby to go from car to stroller without having to struggle with getting the baby out of the car seat. This frame has a large basket underneath to store things in as well.

 | The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $8.70 These techniques really worked for our baby.
|
 | Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining
Buy new: $105.00 We found that this baby carrier is much easier on your back than the Bjorn (even the Bjorn with the extra back support). Baby can ride in front or on the back with this carrier. Note that with this carrier, the baby can only face in, and not out. Our baby falls right asleep as soon as she is put in this carrier.
|
 | Ergo Baby Infant Carrier Insert - Camel
Buy new: $18.80 This is the infant insert for the Ergo. Use this for when the baby is under 4 mo. so that the baby does not have to spread his/her hips to fit into the Ergo's leg openings.

 | Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym
Buy new: $50.00 This keeps our daughter entertained and is useful for her tummy time. Note this is another kid item that requires batteries.
|
 | SafeFit Jumbo Mirror
Buy new: $14.72 This shatterproof mirror allows us to see our baby girl when driving in the car. Also, at three months, she started to notice herself in the mirror. I imagine this will keep her entertained in the future.

 | Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $129.99 I resisted getting one of these for a while, but at my husband's insistence, we got one. Now, I love it and use it to record videos of our little one. It is small, simple to use and records in HD. You can record up to 2 hours on it, and using software that is available for free on the internet, you can edit your home videos.
|
 | AVENT Express II Microwave Steam Sterilizer
Buy new: $39.95 We use this steam sterilizer all the time. Although it is designed by AVENT, we have fit in different brands of bottles and breastpump parts into this steamer. Of course, you could boil bottles, or run a load in the dishwasher, but we found this to be easy and fast, and you don't have to run an entire load in the dishwasher just for a few bottles.
