What I REALLY needed for baby

I LOVE charlies soap, and wash all of our cloths in it. I believe it was an absolute essential part to making my first cloth diapering experience a positive one. It works fantastic, is free of irritants, doesn't cause build up and gets my diapers white white white!

SO much better then a bassinet. We used ours in the living room - it got used a lot as a changing area since my baby didn't like to be put down even for sleep but I consider this a must have! Be sure to get extra sheets!

I really like these covers. I bought a bunch of different kinds to try to see which I would prefer. These are slightly cheaper then the bummis, and run larger - which is nice because there isn't much fuss to fit the prefold in them. You don't have to do much adjusting at the legs once their on. I still like the bummis, but will probably get more of these in the next size.

This is great for using on diaper covers when they get a little poop on them. Rinse with water, spray this on, leave for 10 minutes, rub a little, and it's white again!
Kushies Washable Pre-folded Diapers - 6 Pack - WhiteKushies Washable Pre-folded Diapers - 6 Pack - White
Buy new: $19.99
So the only reason I'm putting these here is because amazon doesn't sell my prefolds. Go to http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com for the best prefolds, and very fairly priced. I get all my cloth diapering supplies for GMD. 3 dozen diapers should be enough, and get lots of the premium wipes, they are fantastic and are so useful for everything not just baby.

These are nice, big blankets. They make it easy to swaddle a baby nice and tight, and keep them warm. Great to use on the floor too..
Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle SwingFisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing
I bought one of these second hand for 20 bucks. My son would wake up whenever I would put him down, and while I LOVE holding him, sometimes you have to do things that don't allow you to (cooking, showering, etc) This was the only way I could put him down without him waking up 30 seconds later. I would have liked a smaller one, these ones are big and bulky.

I like the fact that you can hook it to the stroller.
Combi Cosmo Travel System With Base - MoonlightCombi Cosmo Travel System With Base - Moonlight
You need a car seat anyway, and I hate those super huge strollers. This is ok, I guess. The stroller only weighs 11 lbs, but I mostly got it because I found a closeout one that the travel system was the same price as the car seat alone. I hate the trifold of this stroller, but it does the trick for now.

I love my rocker. It's great for the nights when he wants to be moved, but I'm too tired to keep rocking my arms. I love rocking my baby.

I haven't used this yet, but I think it will come in handy when he starts eating solids. In the meantime, it's not in the way!

Again I haven't used this yet, but I imagine it will be much easier just to throw some of what veggies and stuff we're eating for dinner in and grind then have to worry about powered things. If you're going to make large amounts, just use a blender.

Eh - I'm torn on this. It's easier to take a bath with him, and I think he liked it more that way.

Skip it - just use the receiving blankets. They never swaddled tight enough for my son, and he could get out of them easier then a good receiving blanket wrap.

Skip it! Just go to your local crafts store and buy rigid wrap for a third the price. It's the same exact stuff.
