And even though they are boring I tend to like the white ones so that it matches whatever they are wearing. You know I'm a bit obsessive about that! :-)JennieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638361620411282751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295500120322227277.post-52571014936839134712011-01-07T22:01:23.216-06:002011-01-07T22:01:23.216-06:00I had to have the bouncy seat thingy for mine.

They didn't take to the swing, but they loved the vibration and the ability to bounce. they can look around a bit and still be part of the family, but your arms get a break. <br /><br />The baby bathtub was also an essential to me. Newborns are very slippery when wet, and the sink baths didn't work out so well when they had no head support. <br /><br />PACIS if you intend to use them. Pick a brand and buy a bunch. Once they get used to the feel of one they only like that one. <br /><br />Baby Monitor-we have a small house and I didn't think we needed one, but I was surprised how hard ti was to hear her in some areas of hte house, plus we had a finished basement.MommaHarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422012921642709424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295500120322227277.post-47811375646902679182011-01-07T16:58:23.501-06:002011-01-07T16:58:23.501-06:001.

My hubby also liked to use them as burp clothes as they are much bigger then tiny little regular burp cloths that you can get in stores. <br /><br />2. A bouncy seat!!! Most people will say that you don't need them but we loved having something to put our baby in other then in his/her bed or the car seat. You can find very simple ones (cheap) and that's really all you need. Ours was a simple one but it still vibrated (our kids loved that) and it played music and of course, it bounces when the baby moves. Also they are super light, so you can move them from room to room :)<br /><br />So excited about your new little bundle arriving soon!

It also can slip into a stroller and zip around them. Our babies were around all winter though so it may not apply to a Feb. baby.<br />2. Sleep bags! LOVE, NEED . . . sleep bags - we used them winter and summer since littles aren't to have blankets until after 1 yr!Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969018396132035119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295500120322227277.post-68850702561823066852011-01-07T14:05:52.487-06:002011-01-07T14:05:52.487-06:00Thanks Michele!

I'm 1/3 of the way there - I do have a sling and look forward to using it! <br /><br />I've toyed with the idea of cloth diapers . . . and I will keep the Weleda products in mind.

To save money, and as a gentler alternative to paper diapers, we used cloth for much of the first year: http://www.babybunz.com/. A good lightweight sling is also very handy--this sort of thing: http://www.overstock.com/Baby/HugaMonkey-Kona-Crush-Organic-Baby-Sling/4073384/product.html <br />MicheleMichele Bovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947515994158992217noreply@blogger.com
