Can't live without which products?? :)

kfergu23 · July 2015

Any baby gear that you guys couldn't live without?? I just got a mamaroo and I'm so excited about it

grandparents still want to get me something, but I feel like I've got most of the essentials and just want something I wouldn't normally buy myself. So if u have ideas throw them out there!! Thanks!!

Well if it were me I'd ask for a Shakeology subscription to help lose baby weight haha! Buuuut it's not me

I love organic bamboo burp cloths (check etsy) but the price is just ridiculous to me so I'm having a hard time ordering more.

Man! You have me craving a chocolate and peanut butter shakeology now.

I told my husband (this is my second, his first, even though he has been apart of my daughters life since she was a year and 3 months) that this baby wasn't coming oit until I have a boppy, breast pump, nipple shield and a really good play pen. They were a godsend last time and to be honest worth every penny. My breast pump came in last week (thank you Affordable Care Act), picked up a few nipple shields already, my boppy was purchased off my registry and we are going tonight to purchase a play pen.

Boppy, ring sling, baby swing

heath3er · July 2015

Baby swing, Boppy, a glider or rocker, pack n play

My ergo carrier! I would have been committed to the looney bin if I hadn't discovered baby wearing with my first.. She screamed for hours on hours on hours.. Until she could start moving on her own at about 3 months. The only thing that stopped the screaming was a walk in the carrier outside.. I'm terrified to have another baby like that.. But at least I know what I'm doing this go round

Curious... But what else would you get to prepare?
I've got two weeks so I'm in a nesting frenzy. We have the crib, clothes, 2 packs of newborn diapers, 1 case of size 1s, baby wash, ointment, blankets, bottles, breast pump, diaper bags, case of wipes, stroller/car seat combo, swing, & bouncy seat. Is there anything else I absolutely need to get within the next 2 weeks? I was thinking of getting nipple cream and breast pads.

@sjra1028
Yes nipple cream, breast pads. Sanitary pads for yourself. Snacks for BF

mjones0721 · July 2015

Definitely get breast pads. I didn't think about needing them with my first since I wasn't BF, then my milk came in and I was leaking like crazy. I figured ok, I'll just fold up a couple paper towels and stick em in my bra until I go to to the store...DO NOT do that, I repeat DO NOT do that, it dried and felt like ripping a band aid off my nipples lol

sjra1028 · July 2015

@mjones0721 omg! I didn't even consider that happening! I'm already having issues with cracking and pain. Ouch!
Thank you, @mjones0721 & @prairiedreams!

jespernoir · July 2015

Definitely a bouncy chair for the baby. And lavender lotion -- smells lovely and helps calm baby.

lethanne · July 2015

Glider or rocker is a must!

Do you have a baby wrap or carrier? Like an ergo ? I recommend a solly wrap for newborns in the summer. Lighter in weight and more breathable than a moby.

sjra1028 · July 2015

@lifeisapeach we do!! I have a sling wrap that I can't wait to use!!

cosplaymom · July 2015

Aden & Anais muslin cotton swaddle blankets. We had 8 and that was the perfect number. Used them constantly for swaddling and sleeping later too. DD still sleeps with one so we bought a third pack of four for baby 2. They are only $20/pack at Home Goods! Never bothered with sleep sacks since our first was also a summer baby.

4th time mom & I can't live without butt paste. Lol its the best rash cream & I've used it with all of my kids.

amk013 · July 2015

Does anyone recommend a certain type of baby sling? I'm debating a peanut shell and a hotsling.

MissusTexas · July 2015

Aquaphor is great to have on hand for serious rashes, but you can't use it on cloth diapers.

Couldn't have done without our video monitor or glider.

Set up nursing/changing stations in the rooms you will be in frequently. Mine have diapers, wipes, burp cloths, receiving blanket, snacks, extra onesie, and coconut oil for her butt and my nips.

PixelPosy · July 2015

Rock n Play, Luna Lullaby nursing pillow (prefer it to the Boppy for feeding, though the Boppy is great for supporting baby in various positions) and swaddle sacks.

aseajack · July 2015

Gripe water or gas drops, I have had many nights with all 3 of my boys that I would not have survived without having some gas relief for them.

Laurmi · July 2015

Do you use the rock and play for sleeping? I just received mine and I'm not sure if it's OK for her to sleep in it at night or what.

A lot of people do but I didn't feel comfortable with it especially when my 70lb dog bumped it- it seemed to easy to tip over.
