Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle PillowBoppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow
Buy new: $21.33
I was unable to breastfeed, but my son loved just sitting in this and looking all around. Worth the price. Just throw a blanket over it, instead of buying the expensive covers.

Almost went with the cheaper swing, but glad I didn't. My son loved the sideways motion, and it put him right to sleep. Also, this one plugs right into the wall, so no eating up batteries.

I would put him in this and stick it in the bathroom while I took a shower. Seriously a lifesaver. One of the cheaper ones, but really great.

Buy new: $14.13
Lifesaver!! Large, so it protects the entire body, and you can fit everything you need to change diapers in it. Throw it in the diaper bag, or use it at home. Either way, worth the money.

If you live in a 2 story house as I do, running up and down stairs all day can be a pain. Throw extra of everything you need (clothes, diapers, blankets, ect.), and keep it downstairs.

Pretty much all my son wore for the first couple months. Get the long sleeve ones for a winter baby. Make sure to buy big though. They are sized really small.

I know what your thinking. But seriously, it helped so much! He kept kicking the covers off, and after I bought this, never again. Helped both of us get some sleep.

After buying a million Nuk bottles, I was upset because it seemed he couldn't get anything out of them. He took really well to these though. They are also all BPA Free, and they vent air.

They gave us one of these in the hospital, and ever since, he was hooked. He wouldn't use the Nuk ones I bought. Just these.

Please do NOT waste your money on an expensive diaper pail. No matter WHAT you do, poopy diapers smell. These work just as well. The trick is to take the trash out once in a while.

Don't go with the cuteness factor. Find the BIGGEST bag you can find, and go with that. Found this one at a resale shop for 10 dollars.

Pampers are soft, but don't hold ANYTHING. These are the same price as generics if you have coupons. They also have a nice little curve for the cord. No more folding down.

Don't buy Dreft. It's so extremely expensive, and it has a scent to it, so it kind of defeats the purpose. All free and clear, is much cheaper, and it has no scent, or dyes.

Don't buy expensive wipes. Every store has a generic. At the beginning, just make sure it's a sensitive one. No special smelling ones. They can easily give them a rash.
