Must have baby items

I am going to start my registry next week and I am looking for some ideas on anything that we should DEFINATELY have. Any suggestions of where I can find a list of the top rated baby items? Or can anyone share with me the things they could not live without once the baby came? TIA.

Pick up Baby Bargains Book for top rated items.

My must haves were:
Chicco bouncy seat - very sturdy, not like the flimsy ones. It's also deep so they feel snuggled up.

Baby Einstein dvds aka Baby Crack. Only way I was able to take a decent shower.

Video Monitor - some say it's overkill. It came in handy so I could check on him without walking into his room. If he was awake & saw me, he wouldn't go back to bed. This way I could see him. Also plan to use it when they have boyfriends/girlfriends over when they're 16.

Medela Pump in Style Breastpump - may not be applicable.

Gymini - it's over $60 for a mat that goes on the floor. Annoying but kept them entertained for a while.

Boopy - doubles for feedings, helping to develop muscles for sitting up but allows them to fall (which they need to do in order to learn balance) & not hit the floor for the most part. HATE HATE HATE the Bumpo seat, although I never had it. I know many moms love it. I wonder about it impeding the physical development. Boopy pillow also works well for pictures to prop the baby.

My mom - she's not for sale. Well she is for rent because someone is giving her $15/hr to watch their baby, but I'll be angry and will post mean things about you if she takes the job.Chat Icon

Chat Icon I registered for this for the same reason! Also to make sure they don't sneak out in the middle of the night as a teenager!

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but I LOVE my booster seat. Here it is...

I skeeve restaurant high chairs, but not really the chairs, the fact that they have to eat off of the table itself...so I carry this *everywhere*!

Also loved the Bundle Me for the carseat.
Little known must-have for powder formula feeding...divided formula box for going out.
Pretty much everything else I loved was already mentioned!

The Cuddle-Me pillow by LEACHCO was a lifesaver with my daughter. It's like a boppy, but it has a built in strap so told the baby in....

They have it on Walmart.com and Babiesrus.com
