Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

For me...

Snap and Go
Bundle Me
Halo Sleep Sack
Dispenser cup for dry formula
a couple of wipes cases for the diaper bag

And all the other big stuff, of course...

If I think of anything else, I'll be back!

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

Umm, whats obvious?

My five:

Boppy
Swing
Infant Car Seat
Convertable Car Seat
Snap-n-go or Kolcraft Universal Stroller

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

right now I am loving:

boppy
swing
mini co-sleeper
the swaddler blankets w/the velcro- she LOVES being wrapped up in a blanket and these make it so easy.. I have two of them.
TONS of burp cloths!

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

Tons and Tons of bibs! If you get a lot of them thank your lucky starts because you will need them. DS drools and spits up milk and he goes through a lot of bibs a day.

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

-The book ( or DVD) The Happiest Baby on the Block
- Miracle Blanket
-boppy
-snap and go - DO NOT GET A TRAVEL SYSTEM ! waste of $$$
-bouncy that vibrates

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

- Fisher Price travel swing - we don't travel, but we carry this thing all over the house. I almost didn't register for it, but I'm so glad I did!

- Prince Lionheart wipes warmer
- First Years bottle warmer
- Absorbent bath towels (not those flimsy ones)
- Blankets to swaddle that are large enough to use for a few months
- If you register for clothing, register for things that have snaps at the neck, down the front, or back. It makes it much easier to dress the baby, instead of trying to yank things over their head.
- Temporal thermometer

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

So far I could not have lived without....

The Fisher Price Glider, DS loves this!!!!!

Fisher Price Cradle papasan swing

Burp clothes...I could never have enough

First Years sure comfort tub--such an easy tub to use

microwave steam bags--so easy to sterilize pacifiers

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

DD is 5 months old and my favorite items have been -

1.Summer hand held video monitor
2. Swings (regular and travel ones)
3. Floor gym
4. Bouncy seat
5. Tiny Love crib mobile
6. Peg Perego Pliko 3 stroller
7. Bundle Me by JJ Cole for car seat

Re: MUST HAVES for registry...need help from the BTDT moms

I agree w/ the book THe Happiest Baby on the Block. I'd also say:

White Noise CD (they have it at B R Us)
Swing (a Godsend)
Jumperoo (LOVE IT)
Snap N Go carseat holder/stroller base
Infant car seat
Bouncy seat (returned the expensive one for a cheaper one at Target and he loved it)
Swaddle blankets/Swaddle me's (although some babies don't like to be swaddled, so try it out first....it really helped for us)

Also something funny....I got a diaper bag (which I love and it's great for longer trips than just out to the store), but I ended up using the one they gave me at the hospital with the free Enfamil stuff in it!

5. I love my stroller-Peg Perego Venezia-but I seem to be in the minority in that I am not a fan of keeping him in the car seat, I like getting him out of it (you can use a carseat with the stroller, I just never do, I always use the carriage.)

For us...

1. Swing
2. Bobby pillow
3. Cloth diapers...use as spit up towels
4. Pacifiers
