This a must-have item. It made it possible to set the baby down in a safe place. It's easy to move around the house and use in different rooms. Read the reviews - it's truly awesome.

 | FLUTTER BUG MOBILE by Infantino
My five-week-old coo-ed at the butterfly. It's another item that buys me time. I can put the baby in the crib, even when he is fussy, and he will look up at the mobile. Having any mobile is a good idea. This one doesn't require batteries, but doesn't play for long.
|

|
 | Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing, Starlight Purple
Buy new: $129.96 You need a swing, any swing. Our baby didn't really like the swing that much, especially when he first came home. Now he can sit in it up to 30 minutes before screaming. Hey, that's still 10-30 minutes to myself & I'll take it. Also this swing plugs in so we avoid the hassle of batteries.
|
 | NUK Classic Silicone BPA Free Fashion Pacifier, Size 1, 2 Pack, Colors May Vary

|
 | Medela Freestyle Breast Pump
Buy new: $340.00 If you are going back to work, you'll need a double electric breast pump. I purchased this one after renting a hospital-grade breast pump for 8 weeks. The Freestyle is the latest breast pump from Medela. It boasts that it's hands free - it attaches to your nursing bra and is supported by a belt. It also has a timer. I go back to work in 10 days so we'll see how it goes.
|
 | The First Years Night&Day Bottle Warmer System
Buy new: $23.99 You need a bottle warmer even if you are breastfeeding. You will pump sometimes and you'll want to feed it to the baby when you are away. This one works great. Some might say you don't need to warm bottles, but our baby gets gas when he drinks a cold bottle.
|
 | The First Years All Purpose Steam Sterilizer
I found this sterilizer inconvenient, but it was necessary at the beginning because of babies' sensitives systems.
|
 | Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Glass Bottle 2-Pack, 3.5 oz
Buy new: $15.99 We chose glass bottles for our baby. They work great, but don't overfill - they will leak everywhere. The inserted vent attachment can be a pain. Don't heat up the bottle with the vent inside or milk overflows.
|
 | Dr. Brown's 2-pack 7-ounce Standard Feeding System Glass Baby Bottles
Buy new: $16.99 We bought some big ones as well.
|
 | The First Years - Air-Flow Sleep Positioner
Buy new: $11.95 We used this at the very beginning when co-sleeping. It made us feel like he was safe & it prevented us from rolling onto him.
|
 | Baby Trend Diaper Champ in Blue
It claims to work with cloth diapers, but it doesn't. Now that we are using disposibles, it works fine.
|
 | Hudson Baby Infant Gowns 2-Pack - Baby Bear Brown, 0-6 months
I love sleep gowns. They are convenient when changing diapers in the night. We put him in one of these (not a super cold night)and then swaddle his arms with a blanket.
|
 | Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe, Lights&Music
Buy new: $46.33 I don't know anything about this mat, but I think a mat/gym is a good idea. We got a mat on craigslist. At 3 months old he started to enjoy it.

|
 | The First Year's Infant To Toddler Tub with Sling Blue
Buy new: $17.98 We have an older version of this tub. Works great. Not a bad idea to find a tub that fits in/over your sink so you don't have to bend over when washing your baby. It doesn't appear that this one fits in the sink.
|

My 4 month old LOVES it! And I hear he will continue to love it up until he walks.
|
 | Sassy Me In The Mirror
When they start using the mat (for us it was around 3 months) they start enjoying the mirror & looking at their little face.
