Just want to share some baby items i love so far

Hi ladies hope you are all feeling well. So many people gave me suggestions on baby items and helped me with my registries so i figure i will share some items i love and couldnt live without.

-obviously the rock n play. this thing is so portable we bring it everywhere!!

-the snug-a-bunny swing has been a lifesaver!!! DD is very fussy and needs to be held all the time. We originally had the mamroo which DD hated!!! I honestly dont know how any baby can even like that thing but she loves her new swing!! my only complaint is that the music shuts off by itself after maybe 20 minutes.

- if you are formula feeding and using powder get the dr browns mixing pitcher - it mixes so great and makes making bottles a lot easier and quicker

- the 4moms cleanwater bathtub. DD loves the bath and i think its because you can make the temperture just right with its built in thermometer - it also has drains. DD had a poop that got all over her and we just put her in the tub and the poo came right off and went right out the drain so she didnt have to sit in filth

- the snap and go and mommy hook. the snap and go is so light weight and easy and the mommy hook allows me to hook my bag to the stroller for easy access.

- tiny love mobile - my dd loves this thing and i can put her in her crib for a little to get things done.

- homedics sound spa - DD loves the projection and it is a great night light for nightly feedings

- aden & anais receiving blankets - so big and lightweight

a couple of suggestions - have at least 3 changing pad covers - i only have 2 and they never last me until laundry time. Also have a stain remover. Either dreft or bru - it works great and has saved so many clothes!!

hope this helps someone

I second how wonderful the rock n play is and the snug a bunny - DD practically lives in both.

Re: Just want to share some baby items i love so far

So glad you're using and liking some of the items I suggested (like the pitcher!) Chat Icon Glad to hear everything is going well!!!

As far as changing pad covers go... I still haven't even taken the one I have off the changing pad. Honestly, DD will be 6 months next week and I haven't even washed it once since she was born! Chat Icon I have about 8 of those 2' x 3' waterproof pads and just lay those out over on top of the changing pad and cover, then put a disposible diaper on top of that, so when she pees / poops on the changing table, I just peel off those layers. It's not as pretty as the green fuzzy dots, but it's super practical.

As far as the rock n play sleeper goes... I still <3 it... but DD will be 6 months next week and I just tried to put her down for a nap in her crib and she screamed bloody murder. (Very unlike her... she never screams... ) I have NO IDEA how I'm going to transition her from the rocker to the crib. It might be pretty tough, but I'm still loving the nb rock n play sleeper.

Question for ya. What was the problem with the Mamaroo? My DH INSISTED on that thing so after my shower I felt that the swing was redundant and returned it. Can you return it since your DD hates it?

I have heard of a lot of babies not liking it so I kept the box. It doesn't really "swing" and my dd likes to swing from front to back nit side to side

And Sandra thanks so much for the picker suggestion!!!!
