I was given the snuzzler as a gift, and it is so great I bought a second one! The first stayed in the car seat, the second I used in the swing, stroller, even on the floor for tummy time. Great for first 3-4 months, for summer baby I would suggest terry over the fleece one for.

I searched for a smaller, gender neutral infant seat before getting this one (a gift from Mom). Thank goodness I had this, especially the first 2 months. Baby slept in this exclusively for first two months, including at night next to our bed. The bassinet was never used! This one is so much nicer than the others, I would take one for myself!

The best tub, I don't even have a bathtub in my house, so I will count on this for a while! The sling is perfect for little baby, and it will get you through the first year easy. I just so happens it fits perfectly in my sink and the edges rest over the side of the sink on the counter. Perfect!

I love Doc Brown's. Tried Avent, leaked and too expensive. Initially I didn't want to use Doc Brown's because of extra bottle parts, but not a big deal at all and helps with gas for sure. I did get 4 oz bottles and 8 oz because 8 oz is kind of big, but to save money 8 oz would be fine from the start. Buy 1 of bottle type to try out, but these are my fav.

A must have if you formula feed. I have one in the diaper bag, and several others in kitchen filled and ready to go. I found it was much easier to use warm water vs. bottle warmer (too slow) so I keep these filled with the right amount and just drop into bottle with warm water.

Must have, I have the white one but any one would be great. So nice for middle of night feedings and diaper changes, my baby doesn't love the bright light so I use this. I keep in next to my bed and turn it on before I make the hike down the hall - it keeps me from tripping over the dog, too! Must have...

Love, love, love this mobile- go to the Tiny Love website and do an interactive demo and you will be sold. The music is beautiful and quality is great, Tiny Love rules! I had hang ups about gimmicks/toys in the crib and about it not matching decor- I got over that real fast. This keeps baby happy for a good 20 minutes, she loves it! I am thinking about attaching it to my bed when she is done...

A must have!! Can fit in large purse, but I keep mine attached to the Graco car seat so when I run in and out of places I don't have to drag the diaper bag with me, but I am covered just in case. A must have.

My baby loved swaddling, so these was great, because you don't need a lot of room to spread out to get baby swaddled, you can do it in your lap. Small could probably get most babies through the swaddling months. I also love the 1-2-3 Swaddle blankets if you can find them, they have a lot of room for swaddling.

Love these toys- they attach to almost anything so easily, and the noise was so interesting to baby at two months. I like these better than a lot of toys that have the plastic loop, the velcro is more flexible.

This mirror is a must, it is simple and mine has a black and white back that baby loves as well as mirror. I also attached an Infantino chime toy and that makes it even better. Any Lamaze toys are awesome, I just happened to get a lot as hand me downs and from a resale shop, but they would have been worth the investment new.

Works great, and you have to have it. I didn't know any better and got a regular digital thermometer. Rookie mistake, you will need this one.

Diaper caddy is a must- I live in a small house and thought it may be unnecessary, but I am so glad I have it! Sometimes you are just too tired to get up, and I have what I need in there, including pacifers and a few burp cloths. Get some kind of caddy, I have the PB one but JJ Cole makes a great one, too.

Saves a lot of hassle removing the bumper and sheet, these comes off so easy, and is waterproof for spit ups and blow outs. Nice...

Hands down the best stroller, truly closes with one had and so lightweight but still a full size stroller. Works great with Graco Snug Ride car seat. Do yourself a favor and don't buy travel system, get car seat you want and spring for this stroller or maybe a Peg. This will be the only stroller you need so it is worth the extra $$. There is a cool video demo on youtube to see how it works!

Soft books are great, already reading to baby and she loves it. I really like the Lamaze books.

If you read just one book, this may be it. I like it even better than BabyWise, which is also great if you want to the Babywise method, Happiest Baby.. is a great read.
