 | Puj Tub - The Soft, Foldable Baby Bath Tub, White
Buy new: $39.99 Even though it's shown to fit only in a round sink, I've used it in the kitchen sink as well. No more killing your back and dealing with awkward big plastic tubs.

 | Dr. Brown's 3 Pack BPA Free Polypropylene Bottle, 8 oz
Buy new: $12.05 If you put a Dr. Brown's formula-filled bottle next to a regular one, you'll see no air bubbles. And it's even smoother if you use the formula mixing pitcher that I also recommend.
|
 | Dr. Brown's Formula Mixing Pitcher
Buy new: $12.74 Just a few pumps of the handle and the formula smooths - more than you can ever get by shaking up bottles. It saves your time, shoulders, and hands. If you make too much for the bottles you have washed, you can just store it in the fridge in the pitcher!

 | Good Start Gentle Plus Formula, Powder, 25.7-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)
You know how baby formula usually stinks? Some formulas out there smell so bad it makes you want to throw up.
HOWEVER - this formula smells GREAT! No chemical smell! When baby spits up, it's as if he spit up mostly water tinted with vanilla in it. Andrew never has problems with it! Very little gas, very little spit up - smooth and tastes/smells so mild.

 | Gerber Good Start Gentle PLUS, Ready to Feed, 8.45-Ounce Cans in 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 2)
In addition to buying regular powder formula, buy several packs of eight ounce ready-to-eat cans. You can refrigerate what you don't use (as long as you use it within 24 hrs). So much easier than mixing formula when you have to take baby out! Just carry a couple of empty bottles with you or you can take an ice pack like if you're going to the mall and can't refrigerate it.
|
 | The First Years Night and Day Bottle Warmer System
Buy new: $38.09 We bought this to take upstairs so we wouldn't have to drudge down to the second floor to make a bottle. It has an ice compartment so you can store two bottles for up to eight hours and just get them out and warm them when necessary with the two little water tubes.
|
 | Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer
Buy new: $19.22 Another lifesaver. Just make sure you by a pad refill (for the bottom) and follow the instructions for putting water in each week. I like how this wipes warmer is shaped and it's very easy to get the wipes in and out of the tub part. Some people say wipes warmers aren't necessary, but I can tell a big difference when I don't use it - Drew gets very startled!
|
 | Graco Nasal Clear Nasal Aspirator
Buy new: $19.75 I used awkward bulbs; even bought a fancy bulb called Little Noses. He bawled and snubbed at bulbs and after a while refused them. I had enough! Since Ive used this its been so easy to get his little nose clear! He thinks it feels funny so he just giggles as it buzzes his nose. The trick is to use baby saline to break up the mucous and massage the nostrils prior to using.
|
 | Pampers Swaddlers Newborn 240 Diapers (12 packs of 20)
Buy new: $40.29 I recommend trying to find some that say "hospital" grade, because they have the little yellow stripe going down the front and around to the back. When it turns green, you'll know your little one has peed. This was helpful for Drew because he hated getting his diaper changed at first.
|
 | Fisher-Price Precious Planet Happy Giraffe Bouncer
Buy new: $49.97 Drew's first laugh was at the little monkey! He loves sitting in his bouncy and playing with his lion, who meows, growls and plays music. You can easily detach the toy bar as well. This keeps Drew occupied for at least an hour when I'm cooking, eating and washing dishes.
|
 | Kolcraft Cuddle 'n Care Rocking Bassinet with Light Vibes Mobile, Creampuff
It has vibrations and plays ocean waves, birds, classical music, lullabyes, and more and has a little light on it. I recommend putting some extra towels or blankets under the pad to give it some extra support, as well as a really soft blanket on top for comfort(tucked under the pad very tightly of course).
|
 | NUK Gerber Genius Silicone BPA Free Pacifier 0-6 months boy colors
Buy new: $5.99 These pacifiers are the only ones Drew really wants. They are light so they don't fall out easily. Plus the front of the pacifier is completely smooth; it's rounded so that when you move your hand over it, it's just one flat surface!
|
 | Munchkin Deluxe Dishwasher Basket, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $4.99 This is great and fits all the Dr. Brown's caps and inner tubes, etc. It has two compartments and little circles for nipples. I highly recommend buying 9 of the 8oz. bottles so that you can wash them in the dishwasher.
|
 | Munchkin Deluxe Bottle Brush, Colors May Vary
Buy new: $4.99 I recommend this bottle brush because you don't have to worry about the little sponge on top getting torn. It is very soft and with just literally two pumps, lathers the soap in the bottle like nobody's business!
|
 | Kids Shampoo Rinse Cup SRC44
Buy new: $14.49 I really like how this cup has two compartments; I store the baby's lotion in one and the baby wash in another on the sink. It has a soft lip so that you can lean it against baby's forehead when he gets a bit bigger.
|
 | Learning Curve First Keys Teether
Buy new: $3.95 When Andrew first started noticing objects, around 3 months, this was the only item he could really hold because everything else was way too heavy.
|
 | Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
Buy new: $17.98 Andrew can get this to his back gums so he loves it. It's very soft and very vintage and cute.
