![]() | Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat Onyx
Buy new: $179.99 The Roundabout has been a great car seat for our son. We used it from the day we left the hospital and skipped the infant car seat entirely. With the Snuzzler insert, even a newborn can fit in the seat securely.
|
![]() | Kiddopotamus & Co. Snuzzler Infant Body Support - Gray Fleece
Buy new: $19.99 This is super soft and helps keep the baby properly positioned in a convertible car seat. We used it until our son was about 6 months old.
|
![]() | Ju-Ju-Be BeTween (Black/Silver)
Buy new: $100.00 This is a great bag and is the perfect size if you don't like lugging everything around with you. If you want more room, check out the other Ju Ju Be bags to find one that works for you.
|
![]() | JJ Cole Logic Bag - Silver/Graphite
Buy new: $29.63 This bag is wonderful! We picked this up as an extra bag after seeing one our friends had. It fits all the necessities in such a small space and my husband doesn't mind carrying it!
|
![]() | Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow
Buy new: $21.99 This pillow is very useful for breastfeeding. I liked it better than My Brest Friend. Now that our son is starting to sit up, I also put it around him to soften his landing when he topples over.
|
![]() | Boppy 100% Organic Cotton Slipcover
Buy new: $23.46 This is a very soft cover in a nice neutral color.
|
![]() | Hotslings Everyday Collection Baby Carrier Khaki Size 4
This sling was the most useful when our son was a newborn. He wanted to be held all the time and this allowed us to have our hands free. Since we did not have an infant car seat/carrier, I used this sling for all of our outings as well. By 3 months he was much less interested in being carried in this sling - I think it felt too confining.
|
![]() | Moby Wrap UV 50+ SPF Baby Carrier, Sand
Buy new: $44.95 This sling was great for our son until he was about 5 months old. It takes a little while to wrap and get the baby in, but then they are pretty snug and happy. As he got bigger, though, I didn't feel like this wrap was giving him enough support and I used it much less often.
|
![]() | ERGO Baby Carrier - Camel w/ Camel
Buy new: $105.00 This is an amazing baby carrier!! I didn't discover this carrier until my son was 5 months old but now we use it everyday and I love it! It definitely provides the most support to my son as it allows him to sit rather than hang by his crotch like some other carriers. I am also able to carry him longer with less pain. I wish I had bought this one earlier!
|
![]() | ERGO Sucking Pads - Cream
Buy new: $14.04 These are a great addition for your Ergo carrier. If your baby likes to suck and chew then this will keep your carrier dry and clean.
|
![]() | ERGO Front Pouch - Camel
Buy new: $21.00 Another great accessory for the Ergo carrier. This pouch attaches to the carrier so you can easily carry your wallet, phone, keys, toy, etc. This is wonderful! It also comes with a strap so you can use it on its own when you don't need the carrier.
|
![]() | Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet in Tango in the Tongo
Buy new: $64.00 This is a must have! It is an extra place for the baby to sleep and play. In the early months it can be an extra changing station as well. It is also a great bed while traveling. This version is one of the simplest models and is therefore smaller and less expensive, both great features for us.
|
![]() | Eddie Bauer® Quilted Playpen Sheet - Ecru
Buy new: $15.39 This playpen sheet fits the pack n play and is very soft and cozy.
|

|
![]() | Carters Wrap Me Up Receiving Blanket, 4 Pack, Blue/Dots
Buy new: $14.99 These have been the best blankets for swaddling our son. We used them to swaddle him until he was 7 months old. They are a little bigger than other blankets which helps.
|
![]() | Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Organic 100% Cotton Knit Large, Natural
Buy new: $19.99 We originally tried this blanket in a size small to swaddle our newborn. This failed miserably as he wiggled out in no time. When he got bigger, we purchased the size large and started double swaddling him. We would wrap him in the Carter's blanket, close it with a safety pin, and then wrap him in this blanket. We did this until he was 7 months old.
|
![]() | Gerber 12-Pack Prefold Birdseye 3-Ply Cloth Diapers with Padding - White
Buy new: $16.99 We purchased two packages of these and we have them all over the house. Before having our son, I purchased the cuter, more expensive burp cloths and realized within the first week that they were useless. These are cheap, soft, and absorbent.
|
![]() | Baby Einstein Activity Gym
Buy new: $39.99 This was our son's primary activity area for his first six months. He still plays with the toys but we have put the mat away.
|

|
![]() | Evenfo Farmyard ExerSaucer Mega
Buy new: $51.00 This is not the exersaucer we have (ours is older, purchased from a consignment sale) but any of these would be great. I keep it in the bedroom and our son plays in it while I take a shower or fold laundry. We also sometimes take it out on the deck for happy hour or some al fresco dining. Our son loves it and so do we!

|
![]() | Gerber Brand 3 Pack White Short Sleeve Side Snap Shirt, 0-3 Months

Buy new: $12.50 These swim diapers are great! You can purchase just the diaper or the diaper in swim trunks. They are washable so you don't have to buy the disposable swim diapers. It will cost you almost as much for a package of disposables!

|
![]() | Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium
Buy new: $40.13 This is a great music/lights/motion toy for the crib. It provides about 20 minutes of music, even on the lights and motion setting (other FP soothers do not). It has a remote so you can start or stop it from the other side of the room or even the doorway. The music is quite pleasant and helps set the mood for bedtime.

Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $2.49 This book really helped with our "difficult" newborn.
|
![]() | The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book) by La Leche League International
Buy new: $13.00 / Used from: $8.18 La Leche League is an amazing resource if you plan on breastfeeding. Even more than the book, I recommend finding a local support group to help you prepare for and succeed at breastfeeding.
|
![]() | Husband-Coached Childbirth (Fifth Edition): The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth by Robert A. Bradley
Buy new: $11.56 / Used from: $9.50 If you're interested in natural childbirth, I highly recommend the Bradley method. This book and the childbirth class were very educational.
