So I was reading American Baby and they have that top 3 product picks thing going on and I thought it would be fun to see what yall think.

Those were my top 3 as well!!

Oh, if you bottle feed - at least 16 bottles for when they are newborns so that you dont have to wash bottles all day!

For us, this has been age dependent.

In the very beginning: 1. Boppy Pillows (they slept IN them)
2. Vacuum Cleaner
3. Swing/Vibrating Bouncy Seat

Four Months until Present: 1. Rainforest Jumperoos (2) Could NOT live w/o these.
2. Vacuum Noise CD (must use for naps- or there are NO naps.)
3. Exersaucer with many toys.

Beginning at 4 months, Boppy pillows were no longer used. Swing was no longer "fun". No bouncy seat. Now the main attractions are the walker, Jumperoos and Exersaucer-- these keep them quite busy. Also love my Combi Twin Savvy for walks- use to have a DuoGlider and they HATED it (I did not mind it.) Oh and they DESPISED their infant carriers (Graco Snugrides). They SCREAMED bloody murder from the get go. I switched to "big boy" car seats right away and life has been a piece of cake. Now they LOVE to travel!! It has made my life easier also. I HATED those clunky things!!!!

 

Mine right now:

1. Swaddle Me blankets
2. Newborn Lounger (by Boppy) I use this to feed them - the regular Boppys are too big for them!
3. swing

 

Swaddle me blankets, for when they were first born!
Plushies diapers, perfect for babies who are not big enough for Huggies overnights
Bumbo seats!

 

1. EZ2 Nurse Pillow

2. Miracle Blankets

3. Swings

 

1. Boppy pillows (for feeding and hanging out)
2. Baby Bjorn (at 5:00, it's the ONLY place Lily will be happy)
3. It's a tie between our bouncy seats and double snap&go (walks that help fussy babies nap)

 

My double decker stroller.

My Metro Mamma Wrap.

And him... I know they have other models... but they are pricey!

 

1. Lots of bottles
2. Jumperoo
3. Pack N Play with diaper changing table (no need to run up and down stairs for diapers!)

In the very beginning I was in love with their infant seats. They spent a ton of time in them sleeping!

Mine love those plastic rings too! They are great for haning above the crib/pack n play for the babies to swat at, and then you can take them down and separate the rings too! Mine always have those plastic rings.

DH and I say:
(for the first 3 months)

1.) Miracle Blankets
2.) white noise machine
3.) wedges - so they could sleep on their sides, they always startled on their backs

For months 3 - 6:
1.) walker - I know these are "taboo" but I have a brand new one, it's safe, and I always am supervising the baby who is in it. They love to chase our dogs and will follow DH and I around the room. It's so cute! :wub:
2.) pacifires
3.) schwinn double jogging stroller - we love it!

 

Let's see, in the first year:

1. swings
2. CD player in their room with lullabyes
3. infant carriers (sliding doors on my minivan helps too)

One year and beyond:

1. double jogger
2. Nuby straw sippies
3. loveys

 

Birth to 6 months:

1. Burp rags...cloth diapers...whatever to clean all the spit up with

2. Sleep sacks (they never liked to be swaddled)

3. Bouncy seats


6 months till now:

1. Podees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Halo sleep sacks

3. Baby Einstien DVD's (for those nights when nothing else will work!!)

 

1. boppy pillows (we STILL use them!)
2. double snap n go (saved my sanity the first year by allowing me to get out of the house!)
3. bjorns (genius way to hold your fussy baby while have hands free to play with your non-fussy baby)

 

1. Boppy Newborn Lounger - someone is still in this pillow most of the evening
2. Double Snap n Go Stroller
3. Enough bottles for a full day (plus a couple more)

It's not a thing, but swaddling has been a lifesaver as well. We didn't like the miracle blanket type things, but did finally find some larger receiving blankets which we still use to swaddle at night.

 

This was a life saver from the day they were born up until about 6 months when they could sit unassisted in the bath.

Our 2 exersaucers were a lifesaver with the awful reflux. It allowed them to be upright and play and not spit quite as much.

Last but not least about 100 receiving blankets that we used for cleaning up spit up. We only have about 50 now as we spit a whole lot less!

 

For us (ours are only 3 months) so far it has been:
1. Miracle blanket
2. Sleep sheep (make white noise and attach to the crib)
3. Playtex nursers (can't stand cleaning bottles...love throwing those liners away instead)

 

2 Boppy pillows
a double snap n go stroller
our nanny : )

 

I should have added - bibs, bibs and more bibs. We have two babies that are messy eaters and two parents who hate to do laundry!

 

Jeez...too many things...

Boppy Pillow

Bottle Dry Rack and Dishwasher container by Munchkin

Jumparoo....the girls cannot get enough of that thing!

There are many more (swings, bouncers, PNP, etc...)

April

 

three things were couldn't live without

boucy chairs

pacifiers

boppy pillows

 

1. My Ergo. It got a baby off my chest and onto my back at 4 months which is much earlier than any other back carrier i know of.

2. A pacifier.

Nothing for #3

 

As a baby:
Pacifier
Bouncy Chair
ready made formula (the free stuff from the hospital then from enfamil....geeez that made night feedings easier!!!)

After 1 year:

1. Fisher Price Cradle Swings (2 of those)
2. The Ultimate Crib Sheet (4 of them)
3. Lots and lots of: Bibs, burp cloths, zip-up pjs, bottles, binks, swaddle blankets

 

Our top:

radio/cd changer - bought for the girls' room and use everytime they go to sleep

double jogging stroller - love, love, love--used daily during the summer!!

 

1. Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe diaper bag. Bought a regular size bag and that lasted less than a month. Got a great deal on the Skip Hop and only paid $48.

2. Aquaphor - can't live without it.

3. Duoglider stroller

 

1. Boppy pillows - use for feedings

2. Miracle blankets
