MUST haves??

Question

Okay Mamas,
Pregnant with my first and making my baby registry. I'm a little rusty, last baby I was around 24/7 was my brother and he's now 8... what are some of the MUST HAVE baby items, or items that you have realized were life savers with your babies?!

Also any tips/tricks you have found over the years??

Answer

My LO is almost 11 months and as I look back  my must haves were:
Rock and Play
Aquafor is a magic goo
A good humidifier 
Dont underestimate how many onsies you need. My girl is a summer baby and didnt wear clothes (diaper only) or just a onesie until fall started rolling in.

Oh and you might already now this but onesies are designed to be pulled down in case of blow out. Learned that one after I had to cur her out of one 😶

If I think of anything else I will reply again but that is just of of the top of my head.

Answer

Swaddle me by your side sleeper!!! I can't imagine life without it. My baby had the softest cry when he was born i could not hear him especially in my deep sleep deprived sleep. This sleeper is easy to set up and take apart and i kept it on my bed right next to me so i could hear my baby. It is awesome cuz when the baby cries you are right there, no getting up and stubbing your toe while half asleep, no wandering like a zombie to your baby, just pick the baby up and breastfeed in the position you favor and plop the baby back down and go back to sleep. Now i use it as a traveling bed cuz i can hear him now and put him in his mini crib but it's lightweight and easy to transport from one location to another so it really has a lot of benefits

Answer

Right away:
An easy to transfer/install carseat
Stroller
Pack n play with changing table and sleeper attachment
Boppy or nursing pillow
Lots of receivers my blankets (you can use them for everything!)
Swaddles (loved halo brand)
Rock n play
Bouncer 
Zipper PJ's
An app on you phone/iPad for white noise, or a white noise machine but an app is cheaper! 
A couple different kind of bottles--love the playtex drop-in ones because they are easy and do not involve a lot of washing besides the nipples
Pump/milk storage bags if nursing, I also got a hand pump which came in super handy
Gripe water
Nose Frieda 
Comfy chair to nurse
Bath chair
Swing was nice, but I wouldn't say a must-have
We waited on these things:
Baby monitor, bought one after she moved to her crib around 4.5-5 months
Highchair
Exersaucer

Answer

My sons Boppy pillow was originally intended for breastfeeding but instead used it for late night feedings where I was too tired to hold him so I had him propped up the boppy. Tons of socks; my sons feet were always cold even in this hot Houston weather. TriDerma baby Stubborn Diaper Rash Cream.
