 | Arm's Reach Natural Original Co-Sleeper
Buy new: $160.73 The best way to keep the baby near you for those all-night sessions. Far safer than just passing out with the baby between you and your partner. Has a second life as a play yard.
|
 | Medela Symphony Breast Pump
Buy new: $1,500.00 Rent one of these in the early weeks. It helps with your supply and helps you get used to pumping. There is a cheaper, consumer version. This pump is gentle and effective. Be sure to snag the pump kit from the hospital because it costs $$$ to get one off the rental place.
|
 | Bebe au Lait Nursing Cover - Sevilla
Buy new: $34.25 These are truly worth it. The newer designs have a wire in the collar that keeps it open a little and allows you to see that baby, check your latch and make sure he/she is doing okay.
|
 | Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Diapers, Size 1 (8-14 Lbs), Economy Plus Pack, 180 Diapers
Buy new: $40.00 These have a higher back to them than Huggies and are made with a very soft fabric. They leak less when the baby has a "mudslide" (very common in BFed babies).
|
 | Mustela Cleansing and Soothing Wipes
Buy new: $11.00 These are fantastic. In the first week or so, stick to water and cotton balls if you can. Anything else will give a newborn a rash. While out and about these are useful and smell wonderful. They will NOT give a newborn a rash if you are careful to wipe gently.
|
 | 3-Pack Rib Knit Infant Gowns
Buy new: $8.99 These little gowns are the best way to avoid undoing and redoing lots of snaps just to check on or change a diaper at night. The top with its long sleeves keeps the baby warm and the bottom raises and lowers like a little curtain for checks and changes. Brilliant.

 | New Native Baby Carrier: Organic Unbleached Flannel, Large (chest size 38-42)

When carrying them, nursing them, changing them, burping them and all other options fail, this thing will buy you time enough to get a little break. It really soothes them. It's quiet and portable.
