Excellent products for discomfort that can happen anytime while nursing. the warming/cooling option is nice too, and it's great that they're reusable.

Absolutely the best purchase I made while preparing for baby. This pump made it possible for me to keep up my milk supply while Em was in the NICU, and I continued to use it throughout maternity leave to ramp up milk supply between feedings, and of course now I use it several times a day at work to continue providing milk for her at daycare while we're apart!

I started using disposable breast pads after a few weeks of waking up in the middle of the night with a wet nightgown - what a blessing! Now they're essential for being at work, knowing I won't have any leaky incidents.

I swear most of maternity leave I spent in this tank top and a pair of sweatpants. Luckily I had at least 3 of each. :-)

While cute burp cloths are... cute... you go through so many that really you want ones you can just grab, use to mop up just about anything or any amount of spit up, and then just throw in a bleach laundry load so they're fresh and clean to use again. Cloth diapers are just the thing! Cheap and bleachable. So we save the cute burp cloths for going out on the town. :-)

Again, great for when Dad wants to give Mom a break and feed the baby a bottle of expressed breastmilk. Quick and easy.

A great way for storing, freezing, and LABELLING your expressed milk that you want to save for, say, when she goes to daycare! Or when you want to have a night on the town!

LOVE these. They're just like the ones you get at the hospital. We made sure we had at least 6, because they travel all over the house (and car and daycare).

This diaper bag is small with many pockets. Perfect for every day running around. Holds more than you'd think. :-)

Every baby gets diaper rash, and this stuff is still the best. :-)

Gender neutral adorable print, and one of the safest seats on the market. I can even get it in and out of the backseat of my little car with relative ease.

My bouncers are actually hand-me-downs but any bouncer will do. You really just need to have somewhere safe where you can put the baby to be able to go to the ladies room or wherever and know that the baby will be safe and relatively entertained for a few minutes. Most bouncers are lightweight enough to move easily from room to room so the baby can keep you company wherever you need to be!

This kit is really fantastic - I've used almost everything in it already and we've only had Em for 3 months now. The nail scissors are a weekly use item, and she just caught her first cold so the nasal aspirator is living by the changing table these days. Highly recommend it.

You'll note on this product there is a white oval on top of the sage changing pad cover - that's called a changing pad cover liner. You can actually buy just those liners in 3-packs at Babies-R-Us -- highly recommend getting several of those in addition to this standard changing pad set. Why? Because you end up changing out the liner more often than the pad!
