Great week-by-week guide to pregnancy and the postpartum period. Also has well-written guides to major issues like breast or bottle, whether or not to circumcise, genetic screening, etc.

Money well spent. Great advice about what you absolutely must buy new, what you can get secondhand, and what you don't need, plus in-depth reviews of the most popular baby products and their manufacturers.

Excellent cushioning for your hips while side-sleeping, especially if your mattress is very firm. This got me through many uncomfortable third-trimester nights.

Great workout with variable levels of intensity for different stages of pregnancy. I felt better physically and mentally each time I followed this routine. Shiva explains the poses well in her soothing voice. NOTE: you'll need a yoga block and strap to modify the poses for 2nd & 3rd trimester workouts. I didn't know that beforehand and had to improvise!

Attach easily to Medela pumps and stand on their own in fridge or freezer. Hold a generous 5 oz. Only downside is that they are not reusable.

Excellent breastfeeding support! The waist strap is adjustable for extra security, lower back support and a better fit (especially for plus-size moms) than the Boppy.

A must-have for all breastfeeding mothers. Soothing for sore, cracked or bleeding nipples and won't harm the baby - if anything it makes a great lip balm!

These keep the car seat straps from digging into my son's skin. A great shower gift!

My son likes to spit his Soothie out then cry for me to put it back in his mouth. Without this we'd lose his pacifiers and my sanity! I clip it to my shirt or his car seat strap and we're both happy. Plus it's cute!

Breaks down gas bubbles, making them easier for your baby to handle. Be sure to get the dye-free version unless you want bright pink drool on your baby's clothes!

Our baby loves taking baths in this tub. The sling attachment is great and he seems very comfortable in it. Best part - there's a plug at the bottom of this tub so you don't have to bail out the bathwater!

Longer through the body than Gerber's. Great for those days before the stump falls off.

Nice soft material, attractive colors and a great fit. The fitted cuffs help keep baby's socks on his feet - ours loves to kick them off!

These work well when your baby doesn't kick them off, which my son often does. Forget about washing & drying them in that little bag. Turn them inside out and launder in a mesh lingerie bag, they'll dry much faster.

Worked great at first but now the monitor has started to make loud noises, which interrupts our sleep. Apparently this is a signal that the monitor is too far from the base, which is ridiculous because our room is right next to the baby's! Now we just leave the bedroom doors open so we can hear him.

This was too big for our baby at first. The fabric slid up over his face - not safe! Now it fits him better but he's very good at kicking out of it. Some parents swear by this product though, I guess it depends on the baby.

Don't bother! I don't know why this book is so popular. The tone is very negative when they discuss possible complications, which is unnerving when you're already a hormonal basketcase. Skip it!
