best item you bought for baby you couldn't live without?

The thing we found most useful was a swing. DS stil loves it and I can sit him in it while I am cooking, cleaning and eating.

I'd say my Fisher Price swing. DS loves it and it happy to chill out and babble to himself in there while I eat lunch/cook dinner. It also helps put him to sleep when he is really grumpy.


Oh and bibs, bibs and more bibs. With a Chucky, drooling baby I think I should buy shares in a bib company (lol)

I think the best things we bought are the rocking/glide chair for feeding, the LOSEC (reflux) meds (hehe!), the Angelcare under mattress monitor and one piece suits.

The things we hardly used were the Baby Bjorn (my back was too sore to use it), vibrating bouncer/chair (our DS wouldn't sit in it), two piece outfits & bath seat...

* rocker/bouncer that vibrated..DD had seperatrion anxiety & always wanted to be rocked so this was a god send!!

* Muslin wraps...She wouldnt sleep without been wrapped till she was about 6-7 months old so these were great as she was was a summer baby.

Thing I could of done without was the baby bath, waste of $80 and bassinete a waste of $500

I'd have to say:
*My Bumbo baby seat
*Motorised swing
*Hugabub baby wrap
*Phil&Ted's pram
*Vibrating bouncer
*and last but not at all least, Grobags!!!!

and all this stuff more so cause I have a 2 year old too, and need to keep Toby happy while I entertain his big bro!!

MCN (modern cloth nappies). Save a fortune (and the environment) and have the best dressed baby in town (his/her butt anyway!)

The vibrating rocker for sure, and definatly grobags, and then probably the playmat. Couldn't have done without any of those three over the last few months.

Also big fan of my grobag egg, even though many think its just a gimmick. I love mine. Maybe it is just coz of the pretty colours though?
