Non-clicky poll: What do Moms in the know tell you to buy?

Lots of people have recommended Sophie the Giraffe, a teething toy that apparently lots of people are gaga for.
What things have other parents recommended to you?

SwaddleMe blankets.
Boppy.
Snap N Go.
My Blogs -
sleep outfits that zip up instead of snap up.
I've never heard of this Sophie thing!
A swing (I wasn't going to get one, but everyone that has one says it was a real lifesaver).
Newborn/0-3 clothes that don't have to be pulled over their heads. And side snap shirts for new borns too (so it doesn't irritate the healing cord)
A lot of mama's have been recommending the moby wrap to me as well this time around! I was able to score a free hand-me-down.
As a BTDT mama I always recommend a My Breast Friend to nursing or c-section mama's. It was a lifesaver! I also recommend the Graco Sweetpeace swing. That thing is amazing and it would have been a lifesaver with my first two!
I love the boppy too, but for different reasons than the My Breast Friend. It's great for tummy time, and to support baby.
Aden & Anais swaddle blankets (the originals, not the Target ones)
Snap N Go
Ultimate crib sheets
Sleep sacks
Miracle Blanket
Halo Sleep Sac (for after swaddling)
**Disposable changing pad covers! Saved me so much in the night when DS peed everywhere, all i had to do was toss the cover and I still had one under it.
Sophie is great
A diaper caddy, not even for diapers right away, I used it for all my nursing stuff but now we keep it downstairs with diapers. I have this one
Our swing, it was amazing.

Is that what that damn thing is?? My SIL (DH's brothers wife) bought it for me. MIL and I stared at it like "What the heck would she get me a squeaky toy from Pottery Barn for? This is stupid!" But to know it's a teething thing.... it still doesn't make a huge difference, my dog wants to play with it and eat it because it squeaks!!!
I've been told to get a wipe warmer - I will not buy this (or register for it). I think it's a waste of money.
Also the rubber chair thing that helps baby sit up (registered for it)
and Swaddle blankets.

That is SO cute!
It's funny/ironic to read some of these- because I tried so many with #1 and HATED them.
HATED the Breast Friend pillow- much preferred the Boppy.
HATED the Moby. Have tried to give it away to a few friends and none of them liked it either.
HATED the ultimate crib sheet. The smaller sheet savers worked so much better and were easier to remove at night or if there was spit-up.
HATED the miracle blanket. As soon as we would get #1 wrapped up in it, he was pissed off that he had gotten moved around that much- the swaddle-me worked so much better.
HATED the Bumbo- #1's legs barely fit in it and after doing more research and talking with my pediatrician, I decided it wasn't work the risk of using it.
I LOVED Sophie the Giraffe (already picked up a new one for #2).
I'd also recommend buying a bunch of pre-fold cloth diapers for use as burp cloths- they work the best and are super cheap.

TOTALLY forgot about this! DS still uses his occasionally. It took a little while for him to catch on but once he got it I would hear him fussing, then the seahorse and golden silence lol!
