Absolutely a white noise machine!! We even use them in the newborn studio to keep our photography models fast asleep. The sounds replicate noises in the womb, from heart beats to static. Absolutely on the top of my list.
you must have a boppy there c -shaped breastfeeding pillows are are perfect for a lot of things ,proping baby up in a sitting position (when their ready) burping ,tummy time ,and ofcoarse breast feeding ;] must have and they come with washable cases in all types of colors ;] also one i love is the bumbo ,its a soft seat that encourages siting up as well , some have little trays you can snap on ..good luck first time mommys youll do great ..take it from a pro ..im on #4 ;]
Sleep Sheep (to-go version)! It plays different soothing sounds and will velcro to anything - crib, car seat, stroller. It also has a timer. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!
I need your guys help. I had a ultrasound at 18 weeks and 6 days. The tech told me boy...but I asked my friends and family that I think its a girl...I have 5 boys and 2 girls..my boys parts looked different then this...it looks like vulva parts...but not sure. Please let me know what you guys think...thank YOU...I circled the parts...
I fell in love with my wraps and Tula. Honestly a good quality carrier will be a lifesaver. I also agree with PP about the Cloud B sheep. We have one and I wouldn't dare go without it. We also bought the Cloud B turtle for the stars as an alternative to a night light. It's more a "nice to have" item, but at night our DD asks for "the stars".

Cute and functional!! So nice to hear it's bringing your DD comfort at night
I would have to say a Boppy pillow ESPECIALLY after a c-section, breast pump (if you breastfeed), I found the simple ones you get for free from the hospital, such as a manual pump wayyyy better than electronic. No one ever tells you the electronic ones are extremely loud and annoying! I loved using the sleep positioners for my babies too. I never used a white noise machine, but I always had a fan on in my children's rooms and it does in fact help them sleep. I loved using the swaddles too, especially the Velcro ones that are easy. You just slide the baby in the leg area, and wrap them, and velcro it. BOOM easy and they love it! (well mine did..)
Another thing, one of those washcloth like things.. cozy cloth bath warming towel. You get it wet with the warm water, and put it on their body so when you bath them, they don't get cold. When I didn't use it, I noticed they would shiver.. because we all know those baby tubs don't hold much water, so these are definitely helpful for bath time!
I swore by the Moby Wrap. It was so easy when my first was small to not have to haul around that car seat that weighs a lot. After I actually learned how to put it on, and the different ways to do it, super easy. I loved the boppy pillow, my daughter still uses it just to lay around. Footsie pajamas were amazing, we like to keep our room cold and bringing in a newborn into a cold bedroom to sleep is not suitable, so with the pajamas I knew that she would stay warm and there was no risk of SIDS

Sophie!!! This is a French product and there was a huge celebration for her birthday here in Paris last week --- just to give you an idea of how seriously this toy is taken. I love that it's the top of the list. Apparently this really is a must-have; my niece is already on her second one (she chewed the face off of her first.)
