My breastfeeding pillow, I take it everywhere even in restaurants lol
I could not live without my son's swing! it was the only way for him to be content without me right in front of him.
i agree with everyones responses but one thing that not many moms think about is a night light. the hassle of getting up every couple of hours during the night to give my baby his paci was an interesting challenge with being able to see. so we bought a special motion detected nightlight that when you walk in the room it comes on. it is perfect for not waking baby up too much and we don't have to do a thing but walk in. Also i sincerely believe that gripe water should be a more common baby shower gift lol just like diapers! cause that stuff is a life savor!
a breast pump! and stock of bags .. my stash wouldn't be this good if I didn't have my pump! pacifier ( soothies) and the wipes lol ..
My ring sling!!! they are especially helpful if your baby is colicky. I love that I can accomplish my daily to-dos without having to confine my baby to a swing or bassinet. I used it until my first baby was 1 and use it daily with my new baby!
I was very lucky to have a thermometer that you easily swipe across the forehead! It makes it so much easier to check our sons temp Instead of fighting him for it. I also love my boppy pillow, baby swing, and our bottle cooler and warmer. never have to go down to the kitchen I just bring a couple bottles up before bed place them in the cooler then heat them up for hungry baby.
My Nose Frida: It really isn't as gross as you would think. The catcher is so large that it would be near in possible for the boogers to make it to the tube plus there is a filter! A Tula, or any carrier for that matter, as long as it allows you to properly "Froggy" your baby! It makes shopping and cleaning so much easier for me. For 1-4 months there is this cool thing called the Light Up Lagoon! My son loved it! Loved it! It brought instantaneous happiness whenever he was cranky! I'm really hoping it becomes cool again soon! Lastly my Rock-N-Play! We use this every day and have since he was born. It's vibration has always helped with gas. Plus it makes Co-sleeping easy because C-bedding personally makes me nervous. I am able to pick him up feed him (since we still eat 2 times a night) and put him right back in and him fall right back to sleep with the vibration. It is also super easy to carry around. I take it everywhere with me because it just folds up and fits right in the trunk.
🍼 Baby Brezza. 🍼. 100% no doubt. It was the best product by far!
I tried the Bobby nursing pillow, but fell in love with the my breast friend nursing pillow. it works so much better for me and my little girl
Pregnancy: yoga pants, sports bras, comfy shirts. For baby: Boppy Lounger, baby swing, Rock N Play, our mountain of recieving blankets, my Tula and Cuddlebug wrap for babywearing, bottle cleaning accessories, Soothie pacifiers, cotton footed pajamas, Dr Browns bottles, a good thermometer.

a snap n go stroller and a nose Frida.
Baby carrier!❤️ especially if your a mom of more than one child, I have 4, and this baby carrier is my biggest help! :)
A fan/heater. It's perfect for nap time. The white noise keeps the asleep for longer
A swing. Our swing has survived 3 children and was (and still is) our lifeline.
Oh, and a humidifier. My daughter had what doctors call "day care junk) her whole first year and the only thing that helped was baby vapor rub and a Vicks humidifier
A battery operated nasal aspirator (I learned with my first child that the bulb didn't work that great plus she hated it) and a temporal thermometer (babies HATE rectal temp taking and I got peed on a few times while doing it plus the under arm method isn't very accurate) I wish I would've had both with my first child. Lesson learned. If you plan on formula feeding, get the bottles that have the drop in liners and have them prefilled with formula so all you have to do is add water (or if you can afford it, get the premade formula bottles and just pour it in)
pregnancy: yoga pants. pillows. after baby: boppy, pump, and her soothie. (pacifier) she loves it. more than anything. more than me.
swing, swing, swing!!!! Stroller, dapple bottle soap, binky, swaddles.
I can't stress the importance of a good pair of yoga pants. GET. YOGA. PANTS. GOOD ONES.
Bouncer, bumbo (as she got older), diaper genie(no smell), wipe warmer (cuz everyone freaked out if a cold wipe touched her booty) and a bottle warmer (I didn't own one but I wish I did!!!!!!! Waking up at 3 to warm up the bottle, no thank you!!!! I made it hot a few times and burned my wrist smh) and she couldn't be without her binkie (pacifier) it was her comfort.
The Rock & Play and the Baby Bjorn. The jollypop paci. My Medela bag (which holds my pumps, wipes, and accessories).
a good swing! my little guy got spoiled in nicu by his favorite nurse and he had to be rocked constantly. bought a swing and he loved it. I wouldn't have been able to get anything done if not for it
the first couple of months, swaddlemes. they were the only things that would keep him asleep
rock n play!!!!! B has acid reflux and cannot lay flat, so the rock n play was a huge life saver also her bouncer, she hates everything else
Besides the necessities like diapers and wipes, etc, the nasalbulb was an absolute MUST for me. That thing worked like magic. Nail clippers were a NoNo. She moved so much, I could never clip them... Not even when she was asleep.
The pack n play was essential for me with all my kids. It gives your child a safe place to sleep and play when away from home.
Snot bubble!! And binky lol wipes, nail clippers, lotion, formula-travel carrier, burp rags!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Oh and nose Frieda get those wet and dry boogies and saline spray
