Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - New Nature's TouchFisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - New Nature's Touch
Buy new: $199.99
The only reason I ate a meal in the first few months
Tiny Love Wonder WheelTiny Love Wonder Wheel
Buy new: $27.99
Very helpful if/when Baby has a car seat hating period - the lights and music entertain him for a little while and generally buy me about 10 minutes. For right now, I use the little steering wheel remote myself, but I think he will have fun playing with it when he gets bigger.
Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle PillowBoppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow
Buy new: $29.99
Wonderful pillow - I even brought it on a plane to help support my baby during a flight! Be sure to get more than 1 cover so that you can easily switch them out when one inevitably gets soiled.
Miracle Blanket - Yellow with Aqua TrimMiracle Blanket - Yellow with Aqua Trim
Buy new: $29.90
By far the best swaddling blanket around (in my opinion). The only one that has been able to contain our wiggly baby.

I didn't think I would love this as much as I do - SO wonderful and easy to have my baby right next to me.
Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat, PlatinumGraco SnugRide Infant Car Seat, Platinum
Buy new: $199.99
We didn't get this infant carseat - but if we had the whole thing to do over again, I would get this one. Our friends have it and it is wonderful.

Wonderful bottles - we don't even need to burp our son after!
Medela Freestyle Breast PumpMedela Freestyle Breast Pump
Buy new: $349.99
Pricey, but worth it - particularly if you are going back to work. Pump is compact and quiet - I used a borrowed Pump InStyle Advanced from a friend for the first 2 months, but definitely prefer the Freestyle.

Buy new: $15.95
Have some extra parts on hand - convenient for those times when the dishes can't get done. :)

Buy used from: $390.00
Ok, this is definitely a splurge item, but this camera takes amazing photos even if you don't know what you're doing (like me) - I am sure that if you do know what you're doing it will take even better photos! The fast shutter speed is a must for new babies!
