What item do you use more than ever since having a baby?

Before Ella was born, my parents got DH and I really nice robes for Christmas. My Mom said, "now that you're going to be parents, you'll use these a lot!" We laughed about it and thought it was funny (we both were not robe people). Yesterday when I put on my robe to go get Ella out of bed, I was thinking there has not been a day that I have not used that robe since she's been born!

 What do you use now that you did not/rarely used before having kids???

  • Our coffee machine.  I know it sounds crazy, but before we only used it on weekends and if we were up really early in the morning.  Now I get it ready and have it brew the night before so we always have a full pot on hand.

     We got a Keurig the Christmas before Hudson was born and use it all.the.time! Our washer/dryer also had to be replaced a couple months after he was born due to using them so much!

    Dishwasher. I do a load at least once a day.
  • I agree with pp; dishwasher, washer/dryer and espresso machine. We only used it on days off before kids, now every morning, and sometimes in the afternoon, so I can make it to bedtime.
