 | Boppy Nursing Pillow with Slipcover, Lots of Dots
Buy new: $34.99 Great for breastfeeding, but also for holding the baby during the day when hanging out in the house. Comfortable for travelling. Definitely a keeper.
|
 | Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with Shoulder Bag
Buy new: $235.99 Either this one or the "medela Freestyle" are a must for working moms. It pays for itself because you save a lot of money breastfeeding and not buying formula.
|
 | Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags - 50 bags
Buy new: $7.83 I'd buy just 50 and see how it goes. This purchase can be made after the first 2-3 weeks if you are going to be home for a little bit.
|
 | Basic Comfort Contoured Changing Pad by Summer Infant
Buy new: $27.89 This is nice if you have a dresser. I wouldn't buy a changing table. If you don't have a dresser, then your bed or a sofa is perfectly fine too. Just use a thick towel.
|
 | Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 Travel System, Miro
Buy new: $294.99 This is the travel system we have. It is sturdy, durable and you'll use it every day. I am not sure though if there is a better option for the winter in NY.
|
 | Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural
Buy new: $153.95 I'm not sure how you feel about co-sleeping. This is a decent size and great quality. Mika slept in bed with us OR in a bassinet for the first 4 mo. Then in a crib.
|
 | The First Years - Air-Flow Back Sleeper
Buy new: $11.99 This is great for bassinet/crib. If you are planning to co-sleep in bed, I'd get a different one. (see Baby Delight Inc.)
|
 | Baby Delight Inc. Supreme Snuggle Nest With Incline Beige
Buy new: $59.95 If you don't want to buy a bassinet or a crib right away, I'd buy something like this for safe co-sleeping. Also, the wedge may be helpful in case of reflux.
|
 | Evenflo BPA-Free Bottle - 8-oz.
I have 12 of these bottles (4oz, not 8oz). They are great for pumping and storing milk. Mika happened to like these cheap bottles for drinking too!
|
 | Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer
Buy new: $19.25 Not a necessity but very nice to have. Particularly in winter!
|
 | The First Years Quick Serve Bottle Warmer
Buy new: $14.98 I'd never buy it. Microwaving water and heating the bottles in the hot water takes the same amount of time than using these bottle warmers.
|
 | Avent Translucent Pacifier, Clear NB
Buy new: $6.99 Don't buy pacifiers. They'll give you a bunch at the hospital.
|
 | Boppy Entertain Me Play Gym
Buy new: $64.96 Mika spent (and still spends) a lot of time here. Very nice to have. Any other gym would be OK too. I just liked the quality of this one (colors, sounds, etc).
|
 | Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Knit Small, Circle Bear
Most babies love to be swaddled.It is also very safe because they can't cover their faces with this. You can get one made of fleece for the winter.
