2nd tri first timer looking for your must have's

Just curious to pick your brains a little bit if you don't mind.

Was there something that you recently realized you could not live without now that baby is here, that you had NO idea about before? If so please share! TIA!

Well I sort of had an idea, but I LOVE our swing and boppy. The bouncy has not been a hit yet but she is still young.  Also people told me you could never have enough blankets and they were right. I have one in every room and the diaper bag..plus some.  They are great for cuddling, laying on, swaddling etc... I didnt realize how many diapers I would go through at first too. Once LO gets here and you know their size, get a few packs to start...they pee and poop like crazy in the begining!  Make sure to have a diaper cream too, she got a pretty bad diaper rash very early on

My kid loves the bouncer. We use it for everything....a place to pop him down so I can pee, we take his weekly pics in it b/c it props him up a bit, he even slept in it for a week or two. He's napping in it right now actually.

Gripe water.  It works miracles!  Also, a sound machine.

oh, colic calm, but that's only if your dc has colic.  we also used tons of gas drops.

Miracle blanket for swaddling (totally lives up to its name)

Boppy

Swing (we have the FP Papasan swing)

Formula handheld mixer (they have them at BRU - I think Prince Lionheart makes them - no more clumps!)

lots of onesies?

The boppy is the best invention ever. I have three of them and I thought when I got more than one it was ridiculous. I also took one with me to the hospital and I used it during labor this time. I also love my bouncer, swing, and the sleep sack I just got DD last week. I hate covering my kids up when they are little because I am worried they will pull the blanket up over their heads, and this thing keeps them warm and unable to pull it over their heads.
