this thing has proved invaluable at preventing messes and keeping a clean spot on a restaurant table (both for and from the baby) we take it every time we go out and it is a permanent fixture in the house.

this is by far the most convenient and efficient pump on the market. it was invaluable being a working mom and it came to the office every day and then set back up at home at night.

this was my supplement and buffer to babywise. i took bits and bobs from each book and made my own plan and now i have a perfect sleeper.

this is a Godsend if you are going to make your own food. comes with some great recipes. easy to use, easy to clean, sturdy and reliable. it's expensive but i'd buy it again if it croaked, no signs of that after two years of heavy use.

best eco wipe i found. like them way way way better than the big name slimy soapy fragrence full brands.

just do it. buy the whole thing. my daughter is still asking for it at 2 and i feel comfortable letting her veg on something so benign and educational. there's not one she won't watch

we used these instead of the sound on our summer video monitor and with the three items, always had a ear or eye on the baby no matter where we were in the house

another one of our night-time favorites

another of the "safer" sunscreens and easy to put on with spray. see cosmetic database online for a list of safe sunscreens

loved reading this book while i was pregnant. hubby got a kick out of it too. truly funny. didn't love the sequel baby laughs but someone might.

also on the safe product list. dr bronner's soaps are mild and cheap b/c they are so concentrated. i use peppermint to clean the house, camping, and for our dive equipment. And the baby mild is so gentle for the bath. we also like almond, rose and lavender for a change with the baths.

these are the best for stacking in the freezer. i tried other brands but kept coming back.
