Re: can't live without it/favorite items....
thanks for all of these great ideas!
bumping for the weekday crew :)
ETA: What about a fun "luxury" kind of item? Like my mom got Loey Baby Uggs... (but this baby is a summer baby!)

A few other things:
- Feetie pjs WITH zippers. so much easier
- Pacifier clips (i think you need a special one for the soothie)
- Bibs that have a button no velcro - my hair always gets stuck in the velcro and DS can now rip off the velcro bibs

Re: can't live without it/favorite items....
Medela washable breast pads....you need them whether you are BFing or not. I had none when I came home and swore I would always give this to every new mom I know.
Oh and disposable changing pads...use them under the good one when we are out or when its a super-messy diaper to protect the changing table

Re: can't live without it/favorite items....
Our favorite items - must haves in our household...
Homedics Sound Spa
DS started STTN when we bought this. The rain knocks him out. We love that it's small enough to pack away for trips.
WubbaNub
DS has had them since birth. He keeps the monkey in his crib - his bedtime buddy. He alternates between the two dogs.
Johnson & Johnson Bedtime Bath & Lotion
I know so many people are anti J&J, but it's golden here. It's an important part of our bedtime routine.

My muslin blankets. Seriously, I can't live without them. Gripe water, although not fun, another can't live without.
