![]() | Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat - Zarafa
Buy new: $229.99 Obviously you need coordinating bases for your cars. This is the Snugride, which pretty much everybody gets, and which can be $ or $$$ depending on the fabric. You may find a better selection at diapers dot com, babies r us or buy buy baby.
|
![]() | Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
Buy new: $63.84 This one folds a little more easily than the Snap n Go brand stroller frame. There is a maclaren stroller frame that is a little pricier and is also very nice. All will work with the snugride car seat.
|
![]() | My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow, Light Green
Buy new: $40.00 I loved this for the newborn stage (first 3 months). It saves your shoulders so much and supports your arm comfortably as you hold your baby. Great for nursing in bed.
|
![]() | Boppy Pillow with Slipcover, Lots O Dots
Buy new: $35.67 / Used from: $29.06 I used this starting around 2-3 months and am still using it now! Simply the best long-term pillow (but the Brest Friend is far superior for the newborn)
|
![]() | Medela Freestyle Breast Pump
Buy new: $385.99 Cordless, quiet, compact, programmable. This pump is superior to the Pump in Style in many, many ways. Worth the $$!
|
![]() | Quick Clean Breastpump and Accessory Wipes 24 Pack
Buy new: $8.80 I preferred these to the microwave bags. Who wants to be nuking their pump parts after every use?! Just wipe down and throw the parts in the dishwasher at night.
|
![]() | Medela Pump & Save Breastmilk Bags - 50 pack
Buy new: $16.99 |
![]() | Medela Freestyle Spare Parts Kit - Medela 67061
Buy new: $15.90 Having more than one set of pump parts lets you have one set in the dishwasher, one set in your bag, and (if you have 2), one set ready to go. The pump comes with a set of parts, so you ideally need 2 spare parts kits, but you can get by with just 1. Don't forget Medela PersonalFit breastshields to match your nip size (sold separately)
|
![]() | Medela Breastmilk Feeding and Storage Set
Buy new: $14.44 |
![]() | Gerber Graduates BPA Free 4 Pack Bunch-A-Bowls with Lids, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $5.89 |
![]() | Gerber Graduates BPA Free 6 Pack Soft Bite Infant Spoon, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $6.49 |
![]() | Bumkins SuperBib 3 Pack Dr. Seuss
These bibs are the best ones for finger food/table food. You'll also need some terrycloth bibs for nursing/bottles, drool, and starting pureed solid foods. The bibs that come with outfits are great for drool and OK for nursing.
|
![]() | Gerber 12-Pack Prefold Birdseye 3-Ply Cloth Diapers, White
Buy new: $39.99 These are great for burp cloths, and in a pinch they make great overnight nursing pads as well.
|
![]() | Ergo Organic Carrier- Black/embroidery
I don't have this but my friends who have it LOVE it. It is so versatile! Obviously this comes in many colors...get a neutral one so Mom or Dad can use it.
|
![]() | ERGObaby Heart2Heart Infant Insert, Natural
Buy new: $24.95 You need the infant insert for the very beginning.
|
![]() | Moby Wrap Original 100% Cotton Baby Carrier, Black
Buy new: $39.95 This is the baby carrier I had (plus a Bjorn). I love it for around the house, it's quite versatile. But the Ergo is an all-in-1 carrier, great from newborn through toddler. Also, dads don't really like the moby because it can be tricky to put on.
|
![]() | Boppy Changing Pad Cover with Waterproof Liner, Sage
Buy new: $19.90 / Used from: $18.31 You need 2 changing pad covers. No explanation needed, right?
|
![]() | The First Years American Red Cross Deluxe Healthcare Kit
Buy new: $12.58 I bought several of these items separately; this is a good bargain! The nail clipper is really good, but don't waste your time trying to use the little magnifying glass.
|
![]() | Trend Lab Dr Seuss ABC Hooded Towel
Buy new: $12.84 You need 3-5 hooded towels.
|
![]() | Trend Lab Dr Seuss ABC Wash Cloth Bouquet, 5 Piece
Buy new: $12.84 You need a LOT of washcloths. Thicker ones for the bath (we use 2 per bath, one to wash the baby and one to lay on the baby's tummy), and thinner ones for wiping baby's face and hands at feeding time (a dozen for this).
|
![]() | Munchkin White Hot Inflatable Duck Tub
Buy new: $11.59 / Used from: $9.99 This tub is great for a baby big enough to sit unsupported. We place it in the big tub and it provides good protection and you can fill it full enough that baby has room to splash without getting cold. Also it quacks.
|
![]() | Baby King Bk985 Zippered Laundry Bag
Buy new: $9.00 Baby socks and washcloths can break your washer. Get 2 mesh laundry bags to prevent this. One in the wash and one in baby's room to catch the laundry.
|
![]() | NTM-910YLW - Sony Baby Call Nursery Monitor
Buy new: $32.99 This is the monitor we have, it works great although we've never been able to use it to eavesdrop on our neighbors. :-(
|
![]() | Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Knit, Small, Yellow
We had some of these but we preferred to swaddle in plain square flannel receiving blankets (which I sewed and which sadly are not available on Amazon).
|
![]() | Happiest Baby on the Block DVD
Buy used from: $19.88 This DVD shows the very effective soothing techniques in realtime and saves you having to read a book about some dude's philosophy while your newborn is screaming.
|
![]() | Carters Wrap Me Up Receiving Blanket, Brown/Sage Circles, 4 Pack
Buy new: $16.99 You need some plain flannel blankets for rolling up in the swing, etc.
|
![]() | Sealy Stain Protection Crib Mattress Pad
Buy new: $19.88 / Used from: $14.48 You need 2 mattress pads.
|
![]() | Koala Baby Portable Crib Sheet Ecru Value Pack-2 Sheets
You need about 4 crib sheets. I have this brand, but Pottery Barn Kids and Land of Nod have some really nice ones.
|
![]() | American Baby Company Organic Waterproof Quilted Multi-Use Pad Cover
Buy new: $14.83 / Used from: $12.88 These (or something like this) are good to put under the baby in the crib/bassinet in the event of spit up or blowouts. Don't bother with the "ultimate crib sheet".
|
![]() | MAM 2 Pack Pearl Silicone Pacifier and Pacifier Clip, 2 Months, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $9.79 You may need to try different pacifiers, but we liked the Mam Silicone paci's and we used the pacifier clip it comes with for many different purposes (also great for securing a toy to the carseat or stroller strap)
|
![]() | Gerber Brand 2 Pack Placket Front Gown 0-6 Months, Neutral 2009
We used these baby gowns or similar ones for the nighttime the first few months. If you're swaddling, it's nice not to have to match up snaps or unzip the whole outfit in the middle of the night.
|
![]() | Carter's 5PK White Bodysuits
Carters bodysuits are nice and soft, wash well, and they run larger in size than gerber brand. We still keep one on the baby almost all the time.
|
![]() | Gerber Brand 3 Pack White Short Sleeve Side Snap Shirt, 0-3 Months
Buy new: $10.95 We had one package of these and they were especially good before the cord stump fell off (yes, ewww...).
|
![]() | Robeez Soft Soles Giraffe Crib Shoe (Infant/Toddler)
The 0-6 size is great for starters.
|
![]() | Carter's 6 Pairs of Comfy Socks Size 0-3 Months
The socks that fold over stay on much better than the ones that don't...
|
![]() | Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
Buy new: $17.69 All the coolest babies have Sophie!
|
![]() | Home Safety Universal Outlet Cover in White (Set of 3)
Buy new: $8.95 These are much better than the dumb plastic plugs (which are choking hazards in their own right). We have these on all accessible outlets.
|
![]() | Infantino Twist and Fold Activity Gym, Vintage Boy
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $32.63 This is kind of a high price, you may find it cheaper elsewhere. But it folds up smaller than the fisher price kind, which is convenient for storage. The toys are really fun, and the mat is high quality and washes well. We have a different pattern in this same brand.
|
![]() | Floppy Seat Safari Pattern with New Fold N Carry Design (sage elephant)
Buy new: $46.99 I covet this shopping cart cover. It's also great for restaurant high chairs.
|
![]() | Summer Infant Tiny Diner, Green
Buy new: $10.67 This is awesome for restaurants or for pulling the baby's high chair up to the table at home. We love ours!
