Top Baby Items

A little love to the products that have helped us over the past 9-weeks.  There are just that we wouldn't have been able to live without!  And yes, we are HUGE Baby Bjorn fans :-)

1-Month
1). Boppy Nursing Pillow - an all around wonderful item, this is the most used item we have.  Blake uses it for tummy time, to sit on the couch in, and to nurse on.  Pottery Barn Kids have the BEST covers, nice soft chamois.
2). Graco Lovin' Hug Plug-In Swing - the plug-in is key, we would go broke from buying batteries without the electricity option!
3). Contoured Changing Pad - place on top of a dresser so you don't have to buy a separate changing table
4). BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Active
5). Playtex Diaper Genie Elite - crucial if you have pets
6). Lansinoh Lanolin - use EVERY time you nurse for first few weeks.  Nursing will hurt.
7). Lansinoh Nursing Pads - CRUCIAL the day your milk comes in.
8). Carter's Short-Sleeved Bodysuits - we use as PJ's in the summer, new onesie each night after bathtime.
9). Infant Gas Drops - yes, babies are very gassy and they cry when they can't get it out.
10). Gerber Prefold Diapers --> BURP CLOTHES - we have these all over our house, they are the best burp clothes ever.

2-Month
1). BABYBJÖRN BabySitter Balance - we use this a lot.  it travels flat and is easy to maneuver around the house.  The cover is washable, which proved to be important when Blake had a blowout this weekend.
2). BABYBJÖRN BabySitter Wooden Toy - Now that he is getting bigger he stares at this.  He's itching to grab on any day now.
3). Medela Pump in Style Advanced - I had to exclusively pump for 1 week while I removed dairy from my diet.  I couldn't have done it without this beast.  Great pump, well worth the money.
4). Boon Grass Drying Rack - I just wish I would have know there is a larger size, the Lawn.
5). Carter's Short-Sleeved Bodysuits - again, our PJ's since it's so hot.  We go through a lot of these.
6). Summer Infant Slim & Secure Video Monitor - Blake goes to bed at 8:45pm, mom & dad don't.  This lets us keep tabs on him, GREAT nighttime picture and sound.  Use your 20% off at Babies R Us.
7). Lamaze Symphony Motion Gym - Blake has spent COUNTLESS hours on this play mat.  It moves and plays a good tune.  He loves it!
8). Valco Baby Tri-Mode Single Stroller - we bought the adapter bar ($40) to hold our infant seat, this stroller is a dream.  It is the smoothest ride.  Blake and I walk many miles a week with it!  Again, expensive, but in my book, well worth it.

3-Month
To be determined!
