Would love to hear about them. I don't have a ton of friends with babies so I'm constantly reading amazon reviews trying to find the best products for LO.
Thought we could all share our "must haves" whether it be your bottles, nursery items, bath products, etc.
Mine is Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm. LO had the worse diaper rash, (white blisters) and I tried so many products that did nothing until this. I use it at every diaper change and her bottom has been completely clear...can't live without it!

Swing
Swaddle blanket of some sort
Sleep sheep
Watch the movie "the happiest baby on the block"
Nose frida
Crane character humidifier
Johnson & Johnson hand and face wipes
Snuza
palmers tummy butter for me!
Swaddleme's. LOVE them.
Also, some sort of white noise (a fan does just fine)
The cheap Fisher Price swing we got at Target. It vibrates and swings and is so much better than the swingonly we registered for because it was cute.

TTC #1 since May 2010. BFP #1 - 5/31/10; m/c on 7/22/10
Started seeing RE in August 2011
5 IUIs: BFN; IVF #1 - Success! BFP - 7/25/12
Aden + anais - everything I've bought from this brand - swaddling blankets, wash cloths, crib sheet, changing pad cover, sleep sack - love them all
Avent pacifiers
Formula dispenser, especially since LO takes cereal with her formula. I can pre-measure everything for quick prep during MOTN feedings.
The Fisher Price stuff we have has been great - Snugabunny swing and playmat, and a vibrating chair
My top two are:
Spa Silk onesies -- they are awesome -- you don't have to put anything over the babies head to dress / undress him, which is awesome for middle of the night (our little guy cries when I pull stuff over his head) -- amazon
Pumpin' Pal breast shields for breast pump -- amazon, makes sitting position while pumping more comfortable
~~~~~~~
Swing (Graco; operates off battery OR can be plugged in - he falls asleep in this instantly and is so happy to be put in it).
White noise machine (has a ton of different nature sounds, but we only ever use the white noise setting; Conair; bought it at Target)
Halo sleep sacks that can be used arms in or arms out (wrapping never worked for us, and these are tight enough up top yet loose enough on the bottom to make him comfy)
Dr Browns' Formula pitcher (just discovered this -- a must have if you are using formula as it mixes perfect clump-free formula!)
Graco Pack n' Play iwth basinette attachment (little guy slept in the baseinette for the first 6 weeks, then 2 weeks in the raised crib part until I transitioned him to his own room/crib)
Swaddle Me's!
NUK pacifiers
Burp cloths in every room, he has reflux.
Halo sleep sack - she loves it! We have a Fischer price vibrating chair that she likes more than the mamaroo - and I can drag it into the bathroom when I shower. She will sit there content with the white noise for the ceiling fan an maybe even catch a nap.
We originally started out with a recaro convertible car seat and separate stroller (mamas and papas sola). My old roomie from college's oldest just grew out of their infant seat/carrier/stroller system so she gave it to us. We just got the conversion for the mamas and papas stroller which gives us extra flexibility and is been awesome.
Oh, and lots of cloth diapers for spit up, propping her head during feelings while using hoppy, etc.
