My son now 3 months old lobes his fisher price newborn to toddler rocket, I must admit it 's been a life saver keeps him busy and as a newborn it actted as a sort of kinds like bassinet since I decided to not get one because he would out grow it too quick so this gave him the tightness feeling tbat the crib didn 't now he loves to look at the toys that hang above. Another is baby hanger you can never have enough LOL and bibs or burp clothes a lot of throw up or spit up especially if formula feed.

Glider! I use it A LOT. ;-) Other things: baby swing, front carrier (she LOVES IT and is close to me or my husband when we 're on a walk or shopping); many, many blankets (never enough ;-), baby monitor, and I love (so does my baby) gondola style stroller (pram) - I 'm using it as a bassinet, and it 's very easy to take it room to room or outside without waking the baby (great brand is Emmaljunga but you can try also search for other brands with great reviews. Just in case your baby has sensitive skin - buy Desitin cream for diaper rash that is purple (not the blue one). It has more zinc and works great to protect your baby buttock. Good luck!

Changing table Rocking chair (I had a big, upholstered one!) for parents Bouncy Swing High Chair. Two diaper bags!!! One for each parent or a spare in the trunk of the car...just keep them up to date. By the time I even remembered my spare, the diapers were much too small for baby! LOL My high chair converted to a swing. This was helpful in eliminating an extra piece of baby equipment!

My little girl loved her bouncy seat during her newborn days, and at nearly 12 mons, she loves the children 's books "Pat The Bunny " and "goodnight moon ". Beatrix Potter books are also great.

The item that saved my sanity when my baby was younger was his bouncer. I 'm not sure of the name brand but I 'd lay him in it and start bouncing it with my foot and he 'd drift off to slumber land every time. It was the only way to get him to sleep. He is 8 months old now and at around 6 months he liked bouncing that thing so much, he wore the metal where it bent down, and broke the thing. He has a Fisher Price Elephant and Friends rocker now, and he still falls asleep when I rock it with my foot.

Mylicon - baby gas drops, they 're a lifesavior @3am. Diapers, wipes & wipe warmer are a nice gift to have.
