 | Nummies Style Nursing Bra
Best nursing bra hands down! It doesn't have an underwire, but still has a molded cup, flattering cut, and great support. The straps are also easily adjustable to accomadate different fullness throughout the day. Finally a nursing bra that is comfortable and looks nice! Seems to run a lil small & looks different than shown in this pic? LOVE IT!
|
 | Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining
Buy new: $103.00 I can wear this all day long and still feel great! Dad and Baby love it too. It is easy to put on by yourself and is better for baby than a bjorn style carrier since they sit more than hang from their crotch. It is also the only carrier you will ever need, as it can be used for newborns thru toddlers. Probably my favorite baby item we own.
|
 | Ergo Baby Infant Insert - Green
Buy new: $18.80 The infant insert allows you to use your carrier from day 1 with your lil' one. Baby looks very cozy and comfortable lounging in it sling style. Only downfall is that it can be very warm if it is hot out.
|
 | Hotslings Dot Baby Carrier - Size 3
Great for quick trips around town, grocery shopping, eating and holding baby at the same time, etc. My baby almost always falls asleep in it and everyone comments on how comfortable he looks. I do get a little sore after wearing it for long periods of time, but love it because it is so easy, mostly handsfree, quick to put on, and folds up so small.
|
 | Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing
We decided to buy one swing or bouncer and settled on this one. It is great because it is small, looks comfortable for baby, and isn't obnoxious looking. The batteries also lasted forever in it! The real reason I LOVE it is, that it is small enough that I can put it in the bathroom with me and baby will happily swing and listen to the "rain" while I shower.
|
 | Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow
Buy new: $26.95 really does make breastfeeding so much easier....ahhh no back pain or aching arms and easy alignment for a good latch. Dad also liked to use when holding our baby as a newborn. Having two covers has been very helpful.
|
 | Oxo Candela Glow Rechargeable Lights, Set of 2
Buy new: $39.99 Love these as nightlights! They give off the perfect amount of light to change a diaper or nurse by without disturbing baby. Other pluses are that you can move around with them, turn them on and off with the push of a button and they are rechargeable.
|
 | Dex Products Universal Safe Sleeper Bed Rail
Buy new: $39.47 I love having our baby in bed with us, but wanted to make sure we were all safe. We have a captain/platform style bed that is fairly high off the ground and this is the only bed rail we could find that would work with it. I always make sure he doesn't sleep right next to the rail, but feel better knowing he can't fall off.
|
 | Adiri BPA Free Natural Nurser Ultimate Bottle Stage 1 White, Slow Flow (0-3 months)
Buy new: $9.99 I breastfeed, but pump every now and again, so Dad can enjoy feeding him a bottle, and he will be able to take a bottle if he ever really needs to. This bottle is shaped very breast like and is warm to the touch. My baby took right to it and always latches on correctly. (no nipple confusion issues). Made from safe plastics and comes in different sizes.
|
 | Medela Swing Breast Pump
Buy new: $125.00 I use this to pump the occasional bottle. I don't love pumping, but this makes it quick, effective, and comfortable.
|
 | Kiddopotamus Snuzzler Complete Head and Body Support, Ivory Fleece & Navy Trim

|
 | Chlorine Free Baby Diapers Size 1 (8-14lbs) 44 Count
Buy new: $12.08 We tried these in the newborn size and had tons of leaks and blowouts with our little boy. After trying both huggies and pampers, his skin was red and irritated from the chemicals. We went back to the these once he was in size 1 and love them! No leaks, no redness, and no nasty chemicals or scents!
|
 | Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent, Baby, Ultra-Concentrated Liquid, 50-Ounces Bottles (Pack of 6)
Great baby detergent! Better for the environment and baby's sensitive skin. It works well in our HE washer and does a good job fighting baby stains. It is also cheaper here than in our local store.
