FAVORITE Baby Item

Going off Katie's post, what is the best thing you've used for LO? As in, totally got your money's worth out of it. I've got a baby sprinkle to go to this weekend so I figure this is a great time to pick your brains!

  • A&A bankets, we use them all the time! Also, a plain old fleece sleep sack, we used one every single cold night. We have several classical lullaby CDs and rotate them out, but she always has music playing at night. It is nice to have several different ones.

  • Receiving blankets, the jumper, and his play gym. We call it the pleasure dome.

  • Oball here too.

    Long footed sleepers for all stages. LO will be wearing those until she's 5 if I can help it.

     

  • The seahorse and City Mini stroller, both still going strong.

    The swing for the first few months. And I actually get a lot of use out of the bumbo lately. If I need to finish getting ready for work and she's a fussa$$, I'll set her in it on the bathroom counter in front of me and give her a toy. I also set her in it so I can do her hair.

  • I don't know what a sprinkle is, but ....

    FP Snug-a-bunny swing, OBall, cloth diapers as burp cloths, A&A blankets, Homedics Sounds Spa (for white noise), FP Rainforest activity mat, I also loved not having to buy diapers or wipes for the first 7 months (not an exciting gift at a shower, but definitely one of the most useful)

  • Sprinkle= scaled down shower for non-first born baby, generally baby of opposite sex. Considered incredibly tacky/greedy in many circles.

  • RNP is the best invention ever, I am convinced. Also, I second the MAM pacis, DD would take no other. Also Boppy- I liked it so much I bought a second for downstairs, white noise machine for sure, and the FP bouncy seat.
  • Rock n' Play, Nosefrida, Sophie, Boppy, Jumperoo
  • It's difficult because each baby is so different.  For example, our Pack & Play has yet to be used (DD hates it).  She didn't care much for the rock and play either.  Bouncy seat & swing didn't last long.  But to be fair, she was a super colicky baby so not much made her happy.  Now that she's a happier kiddo, she loves the Jumperoo and walker.  The gym mat is also a favorite.

    agreed, i actually have one this weekend too and am slightly annoyed but still going.  what i did was make a basket, i did hooded towels, onesies, socks, mittens and then gripe water, vit. d, vics baby rub, diaper cream, infant tylenol etc. i figure they have all the big things playmats bouncers etc but ther is a 3.5 yr diff so this is stuff they need but dont have on hand.

  • The one thing I think I will get every mom-to-be for a shower/sprinkle going forward is MaMa Beads. DH got me two necklaces for Christmas and they are DS's favorite thing to play with! I love that they look normal (not childish), but he loves playing with them and chewing on them.  They also have a "quick release" clasp, so if he pulls too hard I don't get choked.

  • RNP.

  • I like Swaddleme's for when he was newborn, now his is in the halo sleep sack with arms. I sometimes still use them (he looks kinda funny, like a big baby jock who is only pretending to be a newborn). I like the nosefreida as well and I really loved my Brestfriend pillow when LO was tiny. Now I can do it with a pillow but I use the boppy my SIL gave me. Also really liked my bamboobies when I was really leaky.

    He also likes his Vulli gnon but the squeeker got wet so it is unpredictable now.
