For me it has been my hug-a-bub sling. I'm sure Hannah's transition into the world was made easier by being held close in the sling for the first few weeks of her life. I used it all the time at home, and it calmed her crying instantly - every time (as long as she wasn't hungry).

Now she's three months, and I use it every time I go grocery shopping and it still calms her when I've tried everything else at home.

It was the single BEST thing I bought for her as a newborn.

Now that she's a bit older - she really enjoys spending time in her fisher price flutterbye dreams swing. I also have an Infa bath and stand with change table that attaches to the top of our adult bath. It is really handy - at a good height, and you can just pull out the plug when you're finished with it and the water just drains into the normal bath!
