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.

    Definitely coffee maker.  And washer/dryer (we CD, plus 3+ outfits for LO a day!), but that's kind of a "well, duh."  :)

     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!

    Swear words! Wink

    Also Oxy Clean.  That stuff has been pure gold to us.  From formula spit ups, to now crayon and everything in between!

    The kitchen table. Family meals are important to me so we wanted to get W used to it early on. Before we just ate in front of the tv.

    I agree with all the above posters!

    I also watch WAY more TV - since we are home so much! (and DH loves TV)

    Snack Foods!  I never used to keep them in the house - now I have all sorts

    Definitely the Kitchen and Kitchen table - I NEVER cooked before kids.

    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.
