![]() | Mothering Magazine's Having a Baby, Naturally: The Mothering Magazine Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth by Peggy O'Mara
Buy new: $14.00 / Used from: $6.22 This is a really great book but a bit preachy. It covers hospital, birth center, and home births. It has a ton of great information. And was great for me since I was a home birther and most books never even mention it.

![]() | Natural Family Living: The Mothering Magazine Guide to Parenting by Peggy O'Mara
Buy new: $16.11 / Used from: $1.88 Again a bit preachy but so informative.
|
![]() | Hip Mama Survival Guide, The: Advice From the Trenches On: Pregnancy,Childbirth,Cool Names,Clueless Doctors,Potty Training,Toddler by Ariel Gore
Buy new: $19.00 / Used from: $0.01 This book can not be your only baby book. It does not cover enough. But it is a good secondary source, honest, and fun to read.

![]() | Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby by Annabel Karmel
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $8.22 If you plan on making your own baby food you don't really need this book because of all the information available on the internet. But I still really loved having and using this book. A lot of reviews criticized the author for some of her recipes including her use of carrots. But I did my own web research and ended up preparing carrots for Eva, and she loved them.

![]() | Better Than Peanut Butter & Jelly: Quick Vegetarian Meals Your Kids Will Love! Revised Edition by Marty Mattare
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $9.86 I haven't actually used this book yet because Eva is too young. But I can't wait to use it.
|
![]() | Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth by Jenny McCarthy
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $1.37 A really great book to read. It is so funny. The way she describes her pregnancy made me feel like mine was a walk in the park.
|

Buy new: $10.08 / Used from: $0.81 Again, fun to read.

Buy new: $6.95 / Used from: $1.94 A board book that is so cute and part of the proceeds go to charity.
|
![]() | Sigg Baby Water Bottle (0.3-Liters)
Buy new: $13.99 - $26.95 And one for baby :)
|
![]() | Philips Avent Isis iQ UNO
Buy new: $116.41 This breast pump costs a bit more than others but I really like it. I highly recommend getting an electric pump. I tried and hated manual pumps. I figured I could spend a bit more for this one since I saved so much money by breast feeding.
|
![]() | Philips Avent 9oz Magic Trainer Twin Pack
Buy new: $9.75 I used these bottles for awhile and I do like them but I wouldn't buy them if I knew then what I know now. After hearing about all the chemicals that bottles leach I have switched to polycarbonate free bottles.
|
![]() | Born Free Drinking Cup - Colors May Vary
Buy new: $10.57 These polycarbonate free sippy cups are great. The valve is easier for Eva too so she spits out less.
|
![]() | The Boppy Company Boppy Pillow with Slipcover Baby Animals
Every mom should have a boppy. They are so awesome. It makes nursing so much easier. And Eva loves so sleep with her bobby.
|
![]() | Philips Avent Washable Nursing Pads 6 Count
Buy new: $5.24 I didn't have to use these very often since Eva and I are normally together. But I highly recommend having them because nothing is more embarrassing then when you have a leak that shows through your shirt.
|
![]() | Glamourmom Nursing Bra Tank, Sm-XL
Buy new: $35.99 Skip nursing bras and just buy tanks. You can wear them alone or under a shirt. This way your tummy doesn't show because the first month or so after giving birth you don't want anyone to see! But buy them from Target, so much cheaper.
|
![]() | Totseat - Stripe in Pink
Buy new: $34.99 The totseat is great! It folds up to fit in any diaper bag.
|
![]() | Fresh Baby So Easy Baby Food/Breast Milk Trays
Buy new: $12.05 I used these for freezing breast milk and baby food. I read several negative reviews about these but I have never had a problem. I still use them today.
|
![]() | Skip Hop Pronto-Bubblegum
Buy new: $30.00 A great alternative to carrying a diaper bag. Since I was nursing Eva I really didn't have that much I needed to carry for her. This can carry several diapers, wipes, and has a pocket for small personal items like diaper cream or money.
|
![]() | Skip Hop Duo - Cord-Pale Pink
Buy new: $47.86 This diaper bag is great. It has tons of pockets and it is attractive. I don't use the stroller attachment option, I don't have a stroller, but I imagine it would be really handy.
|
![]() | Diapees and Wipees Accessory Bag - Sorbet Disco Dot
Buy new: $14.99 I love little bags and containers. If we are just running out for a few minutes I will put a couple of diapers, a travel wipe container, and a small changing sheet in this.
|
![]() | BabyLegs Gift Set Leg Warmers - Jill
Baby legs are so awesome. They are adorable and they make diaper changes so much easier since you don't have to unsnap anything.
|
![]() | Arbonne Baby Care (ABC) Herbal Diaper Rash Cream
This diaper cream is a bit expensive but it works really well. I also use it on Eva's chin and neck when she gets a rash from drooling.
|
![]() | Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Cloth Diaper Cover: Medium (15-30 lbs).
Buy new: $11.00 Bummis are my favorite diaper covers. I buy them from another site though because I like the prints.

Buy new: $11.29 This smells so amazing and made my tummy feel better when it was itchy.

![]() | Melissa & Doug Pets Wooden Chunky Puzzle
Buy new: $9.60 A great toy. So cute. Melissa and Doug toys are a lot nicer than a lot of the plastic stuff they sell.
|
![]() | Melissa & Doug Wooden Sushi
Buy new: $16.06 |
![]() | Boppy Entertain Me Play Gym
Buy new: $64.96 A very entertaining gym and comes with a little baby boppy.
|
![]() | Graco Discover and Play Caterpillar Open Top Swing
The swing was the only way I could get Eva to be by herself. She always wanted to be held. I highly recommend that every parent buy a swing.
|
![]() | Safety 1st Lift And Lock Security Gate
Buy new: $29.77 This gate is a little bit difficult to use. The handle bar doesn't release as easy as I would like it to. But I still think this is the best gate because it doesn't have to be screwed into the wall. You can take it anywhere.
