My husband. Seriously. The man does bottles, gives baths, gets up every other night. Lifesaver.
But as far as a baby product I would say our FP Little Lamb swing. That thing can calm him down in no time. It's great for when I need to be hands-free (vacuuming, dishes, etc). I'll be sad when he grows out of it!
The Moby. We wouldn't be able to spend longer than 15 minutes in the store/mall/church without it. DD is not a big fan of her car seat and gets restless when she's held for longer than 10 minutes.
My breast pump there would be no way that I could drink or have a break ever. DH has been able to feed DD and it has been soooooooo nice and lifesaving.
I'd have to say it's our "Boppy" pillow (we have a generic version). I use it all the time when I'm feeding DS & he loves to sit propped up in it, too. He also sleeps on it at night in his bassinet (*gasp!*).
A close second would be our FP Little Lamb Cradle & Swing.
Miracle Blanket. DD has been sleeping 7+ hours since 5 weeks and I fully attribute it to that. She's up to 12 hours on the weekends (I have to wake her during the week). I'm terrified of her growing out of it-and it's coming.
Nothing beyond the basics.... not because I didn't want DS to like them, but he never got into it. Swings, bouncers, etc. I will be trying a saucer, so maybe I'll come back with that.
The changing table, though. I can't imagine not having it.
The Bumbo... It has allowed me to do so much because I have a DD who lovessss to be held 24 hours a day... But she will sit in the Bumbo, so I take full adavantage of having both hands free for the 20 + minutes!!!

I ditto PP on the miracle blanket....I cried when she outgrew the thing. Sometimes I'm tempted to break it out of the box in the attic.
I really don't know what I'd do without the BOB stroller or my hands free pumping bra.
