![]() | Thirsties Duo Wrap Snap, Meadow, Size One (6-18 lbs)
Buy new: $12.75 My favorite diaper covers are Swaddlebees ABC Snap Wraps, but Amazon doesn't seem to sell those, and these wraps are my second favorites.
|
![]() | OsoCozy Chinese Prefold Diapers, Regular 4x6x4
Buy new: $28.00 Diaper service quality prefolds do a great job as diapers, burp cloths, wipes, spit rags, and all kinds of other things. You need diaper service quality, but not necessarily this brand. There is a slight learning curve but they are much cheaper than "fancy" cloth diapers and they are easier to care for as well!
|
![]() | BumGenius 3.0 One-Size Cloth Diaper- Moonbeam
Of course, if you WANT fancy diapers, or if your baby is in daycare and you don't want to deal with prefolds, these are the way to go.
|
![]() | bumGenius Diaper Sprayer
Buy new: $44.95 You'll need some kind of diaper sprayer once the baby starts formula or solids, not necessarily this brand. A diaper sprayer really cuts down on the grossness.
|
![]() | Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat, Lively Dots
You don't, strictly speaking, NEED an infant carseat, since there are lots that will go from 5-40 pounds. However, newborns are more comfortable when they can recline better, and the bucket thing can be handy in the post office and in restaurants.
|
![]() | Graco Comfort Sport Convertible Car Seat, Jordan
Buy new: $119.99 This is a good carseat that my older child rode in until about age 4.
|
![]() | Graco Backless TurboBooster Car Seat, Baker
Buy new: $29.99 For when the child outgrows a regular carseat but is still too small to use a shoulder harness.
|
![]() | Bright Starts Elephant March Bouncer
Something like this is a handy place to put the baby down for the first six months or so.
|
![]() | Beco Butterfly II 2 Baby Carrier Natalie
Buy new: $139.00 I cannot even begin to emphasize how worth every penny this thing is. Don't bother with a baby stroller the size of a small sedan. Just get this--it's ergonomically comfortable, works for both mom and dad, and keeps the baby happy.
|
![]() | Evenflo 6 Pack Classic Glass Bottle, 4-Ounce
Buy new: $10.59 My mother sometimes fed the baby out of a bottle while I was at work, and she liked these way better than the fancier kind.
|
![]() | Kolcraft Tour Sport Umbrella Stroller with Adjustable Canopy
Buy new: $49.99 Lightweight and easy to maneuver for when the baby gets too big to carry for long periods of time.
|
![]() | JanSport Classic SuperBreak Backpack
Buy new: $17.59 - $79.90 I had a diaper bag, but I thought the backpack was a lot easier to heft around. Any old backpack will do the job.
|
![]() | American Baby Company 2 Pack Waterproof Quilted Lap and Burp Pad Covers Set
Buy new: $11.90 Waterproof pads make good portable changing pads and you can put them under the baby for coverless diapering time (great for preventing diaper rash).
|
![]() | Balmex Diaper Rash Cream With 11.3% Zinc Oxide 16 oz.
Buy new: $14.69 Although keeping baby in a coverless cotton diaper means diaper rash is unusual, when it does happen, this is safe for cotton (but not polyester) diapers and works very well.
|
![]() | Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunblock, Lotion, SPF 60+, 3 oz.
Buy new: $3.96 This is a physical, not chemical, sunblock, which means it works immediately, works better, and is less toxic than other sun products.
|
![]() | Dritz Safety Pins Diaper(Colors Vary)
I am old school; I like to pin the baby's diapers. Coverless time is great for preventing diaper rash, and pins are more secure than Snappis.
|
![]() | Snappi Cloth Diaper Fasteners - Pack of 3 (Light Blue, Bright Blue, White)
Buy new: $7.10 Of course, Snappis have their uses, too! Fasten a prefold under a cover and it prevents poop leaks better than just laying the prefold in.
|
![]() | Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump, 1-Count
Buy new: $30.89 This is good for pumping once a day or less. I don't have experience with higher-level pumps although I have heard good things about Ameda.
|
![]() | Lansinoh 20435 Breastmilk Storage Bags, 25-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)
Buy new: $15.73 You can date-label these and stack them in your freezer.
|
![]() | Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count
Buy new: $6.99 I am allergic to disposable nursing pads, but I found cloth ones to be indispensable.
|
![]() | Kissaluvs Awesome Knit Terry Wipes, 12 Pack, Unbleached
Buy new: $15.00 Good for cleaning up baby messes of all kinds.
|
![]() | Graco Pack 'N Play Playard with Bassinet, Kensly
Buy new: $76.38 We didn't have room for a crib, so we used this instead. The bassinet and changing table attachments are great.
