![]() | Itzbeen Baby Care Timer - Blue
Buy new: $24.95 Necessity - bring it to the hospital and use it til baby has a schedule. I just wish it had a counter for: bottles per day and #1 and #2 per day, etc.
|
![]() | MOBI TykeLight Pink
Chordless nad rechargeable nightlight. Other colors availavle. The pink one is very dim.
|
![]() | Skip Hop Splash - White
Buy new: $28.00 Keeps tons of items in a small space - easy to clean - has own brush. We usually end-up drying everything on a paper towel, so its not a necessity. Looks great.
|
![]() | Boon Frog Pod
Buy new: $19.95 The back of the frog is really a scoop that strains water from toys! You could probably get away with the $5 toy nets though.
|
![]() | Kid's Wood Pastel Pink Dress Up Revolving Carousel w/ Storage
Buy new: $205.94 This thing is adored by my 3 year old neice, but meanwhile makes a great storage piece in the nursery. KidKraft and GuideCraft have great furniture for play rooms.
|
![]() | Wubbanub Infant Pacifier ~ Yellow Duck
Buy new: $11.95 Must Have! Soothie Pacifier is sewn in to small stuffed animal. It sits on babys chest so they can find the pacifier, especially before they can roll over, or learn to put it in their own mouth. Bring this pacifier to hospital, as baby usually likes the first one they are given.
|
![]() | Sassy Baby Changing Pads 36 Count Box, White
Buy new: $13.86 Awesome for travel and dirty public changing tables. Just throw away. I also keep near changing table for blowouts. They have these at Target too.
|
![]() | Bumkins Waterproof Tote Bag - Rose/Chocolate Circles
Buy new: $11.81 Waterproof for used bibs, blowouts, etc. Great bag with side mesh pocket. Great for swimsuits/towels when baby grows up. Lots of colors available. Bumkins Brand Name is worth the expense.
|
![]() | Bumkins Waterproof SuperBib 3-Pack - Girl Elements Prints
Buy new: $18.95 Waterproof for feeding - catch spills! Can rinse out in the sink, or wash in machine and airdry. Not brittle like other plastic bibs. Lots of cool colors/patterns. Bumkins Brand Name is worth the expense.
|
![]() | Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome
Buy new: $29.95 / Used from: $24.89 If you are going to puree, buy a good food processor. Not necessarily this one. The ones made for babyfood making are cheaply made, and do not work. Or don't waste your money, and buy pre packaged food. My baby wouldn't eat the food I made anyway.
|
![]() | The First Years Take & Toss Feeding Variety Pack 28 pc.
Buy new: $10.47 Yes, its cheap stuff, but works great, and you won't be sad when you loose it, and you will. You can replace it at Target. It stacks, and you can use the sippy cup lids on the small bowls for training. Spent tons of money on others, and are unused. Kids eat with their hands until they are dextrous enough to use this plastic silverwear. Don't spend $6 on bendable spoons, etc.
|
![]() | JJ Cole Urban Infant Bundle Me - Soho
Buy new: $49.95 This worked great to plug into my Chicco Carseat. I recently saw some others that are simply a carseat cover, which might be safer.
Snowsuits might be cute, but can't go in carseats, but you still need one for playing outside, or a walk with your carrier.
|
![]() | Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System in Adventure
Buy new: $300.40 This carseat is great. The base is easy to install. Its expensive, but worth it. While I LOVE the stroller and the way the carseat snaps into it, I do not recommend buying it with the system unless you want to carry something big in your trunk. There are some other great collapsable strollers available.
|
![]() | Chicco Lullaby LX Playard, Adventure
Buy new: $145.40 This pack-and-play is STURDY, including the basinette accessory, and the changing table part. Its a bit heavier and more expensive, but well worth it. You can use it as a cosleeper or basinette in bedroom too.
Many of the others are cheap and not sturdy, especially the Graco ones.
|
![]() | Gerber Terry Burp Cloths - 3 Pack - Boy's Colors
Buy new: $7.99 Burp cloths are expensive. I purchased several dozen white Gerber WASHCLOTHS (not burp cloths) without trim on the edges (from Babies R Us), and still uses them for little spills today. Why would you want to carry around a big burp cloth with several spit-ups on it when you can have a fresh little cloth for each spill (a few burp cloths are handy). Diaper cloths are not soft either.
|
![]() | Summer Infant Newborn-Toddler Bath Center & Shower -Pink
Buy new: $28.98 Get a bath tub with a flat bottom and this type of sling. By the time the sling becomes useless it probably smells, no matter how well you wash it - I had to buy a replacement sling once, but only $6 at Babies R Us. Once baby can sit on their own, the basic flat bottom tub is great. If you get a molded tub, you will likely have to buy a second tub. You probably won't use the shower thing.
|
![]() | Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer
Buy new: $19.98 Not a necessity, and I don't know which brand is best, but it was nice to have for the first few months.
|
![]() | Circle Organizer
Get something similar. hung on the wall over the chaging table. Great to organize stuff until baby figured out how to pull it off the wall, and I had to find a new location for it. Sill works great for stuff though. Definite must have.
|
![]() | Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat - Yellow & Orange
Buy new: $21.99 Get a high chair that wipes off easily. It doesn't need to be too comfy because if the baby can't sit well on their own, then they probably can't eat either. Check the tray, the less moldings, seams, and hooks; the easier it is to clean. I got the spendy Chicco one and love it, but still think something like this would have sufficed. If you want to save some money do it here.
|
![]() | Shopping Cart and High Chair Cover: Chocolate/Blue Stripes
You do NOT need one of these. After using it a few times, you will find its a pain in the bum, get real, and just bring antibacterial wipes to wipe off the high chair in the restaurant, or cart at the store.
|
![]() | Graco imonitor Vibe
Buy new: $46.00 Monitors: Something like this will suffice. $50 to $80. You really only need one base and one monitor, but extras can be handy, but not necessary. Get the latest voice technology for a standard monitor, but skip video, and motion detectors, and super longrange (2000 feet +) which are unneccessary. Really, are you ever going to be more than 2000 feet away from your baby?
|
![]() | Built NY Diaper Bag, Dot No. 7
I love "Built NY" everything, but any old bag will work.
Diaper Bag Notes: For an infant 1/2 day trip you only need whipes (get the Huggies disposable packages - see below), 4 diapers, a desposable changing pad (see above), back-up jammies, and a bottle/formula pack. Clip a toy to the carseat, and throw a blanket on them. Less is more.
|
![]() | Huggies Natural Care Wipes 40-pk.
Buy new: $3.19 Love these disposable travel packages. Whipes don't dry out, and you don't have to keep refilling.
