Must have baby items....
I was hoping new mama's and BTDT's can help me. What are some items you feel are MUST HAVES for your baby. I am finishing up our registry and want to make sure I do not leave anything off.
TY so much

Re: Must have baby items....
For me, the Diaper Genie II Elite is a MUST have. Love that thing.
Others don't agree, but for me, total must have
Video Monitor- can't live without mine now that she is in her crib.
Fisher Price Rock n Play Sleeper- rather than a bassinet.
Snap n Go for sure! (Though you only use it for a few months- but it's worth it!)
Some kind of bouncy seat or infant chair- my DD ended up sleeping in hers for the first few months. (until we discovered the rock n play sleeper that is!  )

Re: Must have baby items....
The items we used the most was the little lamb swing, a boppy and a pack n play with a changer for the first floor so I didn't need to go upstairs to her bedroom to change her every time

Re: Must have baby items....
chux- we actually use wee wee pads- the pads people use to train their dogs lol. They are disposable changing pads and i couldn't live without it!! I use them everywhere and every time i change her. If she pees on it, gets poop on it, whatever, i just toss them. I buy big boxes of about 150

Re: Must have baby items....
Aside from the big-ticket items, my must haves are:
Snap n Go...LOVE! Must-have!
Divided container for powdered formula.
Wipes case (at least two).
Scented dirty diaper bags for on the go.
"Womb sounds" bear. My oldest DD was a very ummm...disgruntled baby and this really worked for her!
Cloth diapers used as burp cloths.
Mini hand sanitizer for diaper bag.

Re: Must have baby items....
The items I use the most:
Aden and Anais Super Swaddle Muslin Blankets. I give these as welcome gifts when friends have their babies - thats how much I love them. They are lightweight to use all year round, wash great, are super cute and are versatile. I have one in the stroller, one in my diaper bag, one for night time use and a spare. Def a must have for my registry.
Carters short sleeve and tank top style onesies. I never used the long sleeve ones because I found that it was too bulky in the winter when layering another shirt over them. The short sleeve/tank ones are much easier and feel more comfortable when layering.
A portable highchair like Phil & Teds. We have this in our car and have used it so many times. Stays in the trunk and easy to use.
Jumperoo and/or exersaucer
A bottle warmer - I originally didn't have one on my registry. When DS was here and he was hysterical waiting for the bottle to warm up on the stove top, thats when I caved and bought a cheap one. I should have bought a better one - like the Dr. Browns, but its worked for us so far.

Re: Must have baby items....
I have a reflux baby so these are saviors:
Fisher Price Rock N Play (he sleeps in it everynight because it's on a perfect incline)
Boppy's Noggin Nest (The Rock N Play can cause flat spots on the head because it is has a hard backing so I use this to keep his from developing flat spots and also use it in his car seat)
Snap and Go car seat...greatest invention ever
UppaBaby makes a net that goes over most carseats....This has been perfect for taking the baby out to prevent bugbites. It also has a rainscreen built into it. I LOVE this!!!
Fisher Price's Lamb Swing....I love this and so does my DS
My CitiMini Stroller....so lightweight, easy to use and moves beautifully. I also got the attachment bar so I could sit the snap and go car seat right on it.
