Swing
Bouncer
Activity gym
Baby carrier
Etc

Re: Favorite baby item

  • Are you wondering what item was the favorite or a specific brand of each??

    If it's just one item, for me it was the Ergo carrier.  I used it so much until she out grew it.

  • Just wondering what you used most.
  • More ideas please...
  • Lily wasn't a fan of the bouncer.  We used it but only for a short time period.  Glad I bought it at a consignment sale.  But I also wonder if she would have liked it better if I had a newer one. They seem to have more features these days. 

    I loved the swing in the early days.  Since Lily slept on me, the swing was one of the only ways I could get her to nap so I could shower and stuff.  The next time around I am really interested in getting a rock n' play instead of a swing.  I heard such great things from several of the moms in my mom group about them.

    Sophie was great for teething.  I used a moby for awhile until Lily was big enough to fit in the Ergo.

  • My ring sling and ktan were amazing to have for when Caden was tiny. Once he was big enough we bought a Lillebaby. We still use it.
    The kick and play piano mat was a huge hit! He paid way more attention to that then the regular playmat we had.
    OUr swing was a lifesaver for awhile. We have a bouncy chair but I think we used it one time... seriously.
    Aden&Anis swaddle blankets.... must have! We still use our so we definitely got our money's worth.
    Video baby monitor, i dont know how people feel ok with not having one.
    Basic baby bath, we got a no frills model that was perfect. We used it until Caden could sit up on his own.
    Reusable breast pads. Nice and soft and breathable. After using those I hated disposable ones.

    I'm sure I could add tons more. LOL

  • Ohhh yes, Am.  Love my reusable breast pads. And ditto on the video baby monitor.  Especially with multiple levels.  As our bedrooms are upstairs and our TV room/my sewing are in the basement.

  • Michelle: What do you mean she outgrew the Ergo? I am buying one this week for our upcoming Puerto Rico vacation. It says it goes up to 45 lbs.

    My favorite baby item was the jumper that hung in the door frame. She jumped for 30 minutes straight sometimes. It was a lifesaver from 5-10 months of age.

  • Right now at this young age I am loving the moby wrap. He hates his swing which I think is unusual.
  • Loved the Moby for the tiny infant stages. 

    Tara - She was okay weight-wise in the Ergo.  It's more that she got too tall.  I thought about getting a toddler tula but never did.  And in the last 6 months really keep wishing for one since she still likes to be carried around sometimes.

  • Hmmm, Liliana is 33 inches. I hope she will fit.

  • Do you have a brand for the reusable breast pads? Because I just went on a registry for my husband's cousin, and she had the disposables on... 

    Did I mention I hate registries in my husband's family? Here Jen is talking about affording a graco stroller, and they have anthropologie sheets and H&M onesies...

  • I just got a six pack, but I do laundry often. I am a practical gift giver. I love diapers and wipes as gifts. Something you will always use. If they are having a boy the funniest gift is a pee pee teepee.

  • Okay, I think I'm going to get two four packs, because that's what I found them in on amazon. Thanks! 

    I'm going to get one thing of clothing , a thing of baby sunscreen and something else that looks interesting from her registry, then I am making her a hooded towel, and getting her a shutterfly gift certificate. I figure she can use that for announcements or for books or both.

  • I have way more than the 6 pair. I think I have about 12-15 pair of breast pads. I don't know the brand. They were the only ones Target sold. But they came in a 3 pack so I bought several. In the early days I leaked a lot and went through 2-3 pairs of breast pads in a day.
