What is your must-have baby item

LetsGoToDisney · November 2013

I cannot leave the house without my diaper clutch. It is my absolute must have. It holds 2 cloth diapers, a tube of Butt Paste and wipes. If I need to run out on short notice, I can.

What is the one thing that makes your mommy life easier?

EDIT: I meant to post this on Oct 13! Some how I got on the wrong board and cannot delete the topic. Sorry, but answer if you want! I'm not a dirty lurker, my LO was due Oct 1 and came on Sept 24.

Your LO was born the same day as mine! Anyway my must have item is the Rock N Play.

SwaddlesMes, ergobaby, and the TV since that is his favorite thing right now

You should have seen my LO watching Rudolph last night....he actually seemed entertained by it for awhile. I wonder if he liked the voices?

RnP, stroller and mei tai! Oh, and PACIS! I don't know what we would do without our MAM pacis.

Kristonita12 · November 2013

and one more, coconut oil!

rachelstauf · November 2013

His playmat and the moby.

Swaddleme and the diaper clutch!! Someone also have her a little Fisher Price seahorse lullaby toy thing. It's AMAZING!! Puts her to sleep every time!

even better than the white noise!

One of the reasons why I love this board so much is because its where I learned about the RNP. I don't know what I would have done without it. It's the only place (besides my or DH's chest) that LO will sleep consistently. I'd never heard of a RNP before I came here but I'm glad I did! :-)

RnP and playmat

lillyq1982 · November 2013

RnP for sure. He sleeps through the night in it in his room right next to his crib. When we try to put him in the crib, he doesnt sleep nearly as well.

Also swaddles, sleep and plays and my breast pump.

i love my boppy, its great for breastfeeding and just cuddling on the couch with him in general, at almost 14lbs its hard to hold him for too long now

OliveMom3 · November 2013

My boobs. Henry loves them

lol! But in seriousness, the soothie pacifier, his vibrating chair and the swaddlemes.

Jenmarie279 · November 2013

I love the RnP, her swing, the Moby wrap, and her boppy. Each of those make our lives a lot easier!

pescadora712 · November 2013

Swaddles, Avent pacifier, and his "Bun Bun" (one of those stuffed animal/blanket toys.)

AppleMuffins · November 2013

Hands down the ergo! It's the only thing I can use to get things done. And nipple shields, though I have a love/hate relationship with them. Also have to give a shout-out to my breast pump. It was essential for the first two weeks when my dd wouldn't latch. I couldnt have have bf without it. But now that she latches it's less essential

janelleashu · November 2013

Swaddles, pacifier and our snap-n-go stroller.

michaelaelaine01 · November 2013

I recently have fallen in love with our JJ Cole Bundle Me. Such a relief knowing LO is warm & cozy while out & about, especially last week when it was 8 degrees outside!

michaelaelaine01 · November 2013

Oh and those Halo swaddle sleep sacks. So awesome.

Nukke · November 2013

One thing I absolutely couldn't live without are Auli's mobile. It buys me 10-20 minutes of entertainment for her on most days. She often gives and angry little squeal when it stops spinning.

The second thing is her eurotote carrier. We have a convertible car seat so we use the eurotote to carry her around--to and from the car, I use it to carry her downstairs to do laundry when I need to, I use it to snuggle her in her stroller when we go grocery shopping, and I use it sometimes just to snuggle in while I change or wash her baby sheets. It is my most handy baby item.

RnP, K'Tan, SwaddleMe, one of those huge sponges to lay on in the bath

Albertsgirl1982 · November 2013

Lots of receiving blankets

Albertsgirl1982 · November 2013

An apron/baby towel in one

ejb23 · November 2013

Sleeper gowns. So much easier then having to snap or zipper anything in the middle of the night !

SoCalBrandi · November 2013

Another vote for the FP Kick & Play Piano playmat (I get so many smiles when she's on it!), Soothie pacifiers (!!) & my Ergo..

jlp0528 · November 2013

Gripe water. LO has hiccups multiple times a day.

olga1311 · November 2013

Bouncy chair and swing.

aml8979 · November 2013

Rnp, rainforest play mat and zipper sleepers. Oh and my hands free bra for pumping.

kgravil85 · November 2013

Bouncer/swing- because I couldn't get anything done around the house without them.

Activity play mat- because LO is so stinkin' cute smiling, squealing and "talking" to his "friends" on there.

Edited for spelling.

abrandnewcocopuff · November 2013

Double stroller and paci. Nice to have is the jumperoo (not yet for this LO), activity mat and that FP activity table- that thing is gold.

jjkaye · November 2013

RnP, Miracle Blanket... Boppy.

database6 · November 2013

Breast pump with hands free bra , snugabunny swing, playmat, soothie pacifiers, pjs with zippers, and moby and Chico carrier. When all else fails to calm her down, there is no replacing the boob.
