 | Cloud b Sleep Sheep On the Go - Four Soothing Sounds from Nature
Buy new: $14.07 A gift from some good friends. Ironically, it's the sheep that makes whale sounds. . . We never knew we would need this and no swear by it.
|
 | Bugaboo Frog Complete Stroller - Black
Buy new: $759.00 This stroller is awesome. I was a little dubious spending the extra cash on it, but it is so very nice. The bassinet attachment is great for walks in the park. The car seat snapping in means this is great for the mall too.
|
 | Dex Products Safe Sleeper Bed Rail Ultra
Buy new: $29.95 We cosleep, so this ensures our little one doesn't roll out at night.
|
 | Beetle Dance Mobile
Buy new: $32.39 We hung this mobile over our changing table. This one is great because the faces face down where baby can see them, and the bugs are attached to the mobile magnetically, so if the baby grabs one, can he pull it down and play with it without pulling the whole mobile down with him. And it's super cute.
|
 | Nightstar Eco-Friendly Contour Changing Pad
Buy new: $24.96 We have a contoured pad for our changing table which makes it nice and soft for baby, and keeps im in a bit more as well.
|
 | Basic Comfort Ultra Plush Change Pad Cover - Sage
Buy new: $14.99 We use a fuzzy changing pad cover like this one because when the baby is little, a bare bum on cold plastic starts the flow. Whereas no cold bum = dry table and baby.
|
 | Bonavita Tomi Collection Lifestyle Crib, Cinnamon
Buy new: $506.67 Almost everyone buys a crib and we definately use ours. Bonavita is known as being a safe brand and after a lot of research it's what we went with. Though we found one discounted at Albee Baby.
|
 | Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Classic 150 Crib Mattress
Buy new: $259.00 We got an organic crib mattress after doing some research on the benefits. (There's a New Zealand study showing reduced risk of SIDS). In hindsight as some initial overprotectiveness wears off, I recognize that a regular one would probably work just as well. But why take chances?
|
 | Evenflo BPA Free Purely Comfi 9 oz Bottle, 3-Pack
Buy new: $9.95 Out of all the bottles we have, we liked these best. They're cheap, they're easy to clean, they're the right size, and they're BPA free.
|
 | Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet & Changer in Brentwood
Buy new: $108.99 You too will have a Pack 'n Play. It's one of the most useful items you can get. Graco makes nice ones, just pick a fabric!
|
 | Graco Pack 'n Play Sheet Light Blue
Buy new: $9.99 Be sure to buy some sheets for your Pack 'n Play for those baby spills.
|
 | Cotton Flannel Sheet - Crib-Size
Buy new: $13.99 I wish we had these when baby was little. Flannel sheets are warmer to the touch than cotton, so that after you've gone through the painstaking work of nursing and rocking him to sleep, he doesn't scream like he's being laid down on hot coals when you go to put him in his crib.
|
 | Dutailier Ultramotion Bow Back Glider Rocker and Ottoman Combo, Light Beige
Buy new: $199.93 I always thought these were tacky before baby was born, now, I couldn't live without one. The soft arms and good back support are a big help for sitting in it for long periods and baby loves the rocking. One of the best purchases we made. Dutalier is by far the best brand for comfort, style, and durability. I've seen other brands literally fall apart.
|
 | bumGenius One-Size Cloth Diaper - Grasshopper
We though cloth diapering might be a) difficult b)gross or c) time consuming. Thanks to these diapers, it's been none of these. They're easy, ecologically friendly, and best of all, we've saved a TON of money on diapers. Yay Bum Genius!
|
 | bumGenius Diaper Sprayer
Buy new: $44.95 The diaper sprayer is lifesaver when it comes to cloth diapering. A small purchase with big results.
|
 | Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing
Buy new: $99.00 This is the swing to get. All swings are tacky, and the ones that are only nominally less tacky, baby isn't as interested in. This one PLUGS IN (no the rest don't). And it swings side to side which we learned the hard way is the only way that many babies like to swing.
|
 | Baby Nose to Baby Toes by Vicky Ceelen
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.24 This is our baby's favorite book.
|
 | Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether, Brown/ White
Buy new: $13.95 Baby's favorite chewing toy. We'd be lost without her.
|
 | Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub
Buy new: $14.00 We use this as our baby bath now that baby is older. This is good for 5+ months old when baby gets too big for the infant tubs, but it too little to fill the whole tub and the soft sides prevent head bumps.
|
 | PRIMO EuroBath Pearl White
Buy new: $17.20 Most people have an infant tub. We hated ours, but will be buying this one for the next baby.
|
 | 12 Gallon Rubbermaid Plastic Step On Trash Can - White
Buy new: $86.99 Ok, so the price on this one is ridiculous, but the idea is what's important here. We couldn't rationalize the waste of plastic and money for the diaper genie. Tried the diaper champ but found it to be smelly and messy. Turns out we LOVE a garbage can with a loose fitting lid. Who knew?
|
 | Swaddlebees Diaper Pail Liner & Laundry Bag, BLUE
A cloth wet bag like this one lines our garbage can and goes right in the wash with the diapers. How convenient!
|
 | Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/Gray
Buy new: $27.99 This chair is fantastic, easy to clean, and completely eliminated the need to have a high chair.
|
 | My Brest Friend Pillow, Sunburst
Buy new: $34.88 This nursing pillow is great!
|
 | Bugaboo Graco Car Seat Adapter - Frog/Cameleon
If you want to plug your Graco carseat into the Bugaboo, you'll
be needing this.
|
 | Nursing Stool - White
Having a nursing stool is oh so nice to be able to put your feet up!
|
 | Kringelring
Buy new: $10.75 Baby loves this. What can I say?
|
 | Ball Track Roll'n Roll'n Roll
Buy new: $89.99 This toy, though pricey has been the biggest hit. He can't get
enough of it and already is dropping the ball on the tack all by
himself to watch it go down to the bottom.
|
 | Winkel (Boxed)
Buy new: $7.99 An all time favorite. If I bought only one toy this would be it.
|
 | Plush Bashful Medium Monkey 12"
Buy new: $17.99 Oh, Monkey. You are such a good friend!
|
 | A Pea in the Pod Collection: Elle Macpherson Intimates Maternelle Medium Support Soft Cup No Wire Nursing Bra
Buy new: $55.00 I like this nursing bra best after trying a bunch. This business about buying them ahead of time is hoey. Do it, but count on
changing sizes a couple of times and having to buy more anyway. I own nursing bras in like 4 different sizes now.
|
 | Luxury Baby Blanket by Fattamano
Buy new: $88.99 We bought a shearling blanket recently (not this one though, ours was much less expensive!) and wish we had it all along. We call it the magic blanket because of its ability to keep the baby asleep. Best. Purchase. Ever.
|
 | ERGO Organic Carrier Sea Green/Silver
Buy new: $120.00 We love our Ergo carrier. The baby is so very portable in this and it's comfortable for both of us.
|
 | Ergo Baby Carrier Insert- Galaxy
Buy new: $25.00 To use the Ergo with little babies (under 16lb), the infant insert is needed. This one came out to late for us, but is rumoured to be a substantial improvement on its predecessor. We'll be buying this for our next baby.
|
 | Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Black
Buy new: $53.99 This super popular diaper bag will be my next purchase. Wish I had bought this one first.
|
 | Planet Wise Wet Dry Cloth Diaper Bags (River Rock)
This wet bag is perfect for cloth diapering on the go. We've got 2, one for the bag and oen for the laundry.
|
 | Kissaluvs Awesome Knit Terry Wipes, 12 Pack, Unbleached
Buy new: $15.00 And cloth wipes are great for babys bottom.
|
 | Diaper Rash & Thrush 2 oz
Buy new: $13.59 This has been our favorite diaper rash cream. Clears things up in one application and it's non toxic.
|
Listmania!
