Safe, BPA-free teether!

Mr. banana man can get some belly laughs out of a baby when you shake him up and down. There's also an apple fruity pal but he wasn't as much of a hit as this guy was.

I tied this (tightly) to the center/top of the Tiny Love Gymini play mat and both of my girls absolutely LOVED this mobile. They both loved "talking" to the little images on the mobile as it went round and round. The music it plays is lovely and gentle.

This is one of the most important baby items to own. You'll need this for your car seat. A newborn is just too small to fit comfortably in a car seat without this. Also, this is a great item for a baby jogger stroller!

The Graco Infant car seat has the one of the highest safety ratings. Also, it very conveniently snaps directly onto the Snap 'n Go for and instant stroller!

It's sounds kind of funny to rave about two little mice, but these mice are THE BEST. Both daughters loved them. My 9-month-old makes herself laugh whipping them around by the tail. When shaken, one squeaks, the other rattles. Haba is a great toy company.

My pediatrician always commented that neither of my girls suffered from diaper rashes. I swear it was because I only used these wipes. Diapers.com has them. Target sells them but they're expensive. I think they are worth the money for the first couple months when baby's skin is sensitive.

Don't know what I would have done without this. Normal aspirators go up into the nose, this one rests on the edge of the nostril so there's no fear of hurting your squirming baby. No need to purchase extra filters, kit comes with plenty. My pediatrician said only resort to aspirators when the baby really needs help breathing, otherwise you risk scarring the inside of their nose.

This is the purest, safest and most gentle baby wash on the market. I did tons of research. There are no chemicals, no synthetic perfumes and no ingredients that have been proven harmful (unlike Johnson & Johnson!) I've been using it now for over 2 years.

Use these everywhere-- attach toys to strollers, car seat, high chair... Doesn't have to be this pack, any will do.

I bought 5 or 6 of the Usborne Touchy Feely books. My daughters absolutely love them. It's such an interactive reading experience for them. Perfect for babies with their short attention spans.

Once my second was old enough to sit up, I started bathing the girls together in our tub. The baby sat in this seat. She loved it! I love the fact that my 3-year-old couldn't accidentally knock her little sister over in the tub. Of course, you never leave them alone in the tub, not even for a second.

I'm not a fan of too much TV for babies but these shows are so beautifully produced, with no talking, just gorgeous classical music. Very artistic and captivating. Much better than Baby Einstein. My 3-year-old STILL loves these.

Both my babies took almost every nap in this swing. I find the swing settings to be fast, so I only ever used the lowest setting and even then I sometimes draped a light blanket across the bottom so that it would drag on the floor and slow the swing even more. Worth every penny.

No off-gassing fumes from mattress for baby to breathe in their sleep. The price is steep, but this is an important item.

This little camcorder is amazing. You plug it directly into your computer and can instantly e-mail video clips of your baby. No tapes required! It's very user friendly. The manual is only one page long-- that's how easy it is. Works on Mac and PC.
