    It has changed for all of my children but I will say;
    Hug a Bub. It is now being used for baby #3. Absolutely awesome.
    Bouncer. For when I need 10 minutes time out.
    Ergo cocoon or Woombie - My DD2 hated not being wrapped and these were perfect for her. I personally preferred the Ergo Cocoon purely because it is cheaper in price.

    Like a few others some things have changed with each child but my top 3 things used across all children would have to be:
    Wooden cradle (on wheels) - babies slept in our rooms in this and I could easily move it between rooms too
    Thermometer - the quick one for the ears
    Rocking/Feeding chair
