So nice to not have to bend down and fit well in her sink. Sorry to disappoint you but the diaper decor is also not so great as far as the stench... I am starting to think nothing works!

Our son loves his Mamaroo, playmat and Baby Bjorn carrier. I also bought the grass drying pieces and love that they look better than the tall spinning ones on the counter! I'm sure you have tried the A&A swaddle blankets but we love those as well!

One suggestion would be to look at the Boon Flair highchair. It's got a modern look but is MUCH easier to clean (no cracks or crevices) and it's a little less expensive, I think. I swear I will bathe my babies in Mustela until they no longer let me bathe them! The scent is addictive and will be a permanent memory of their babyhood. Finally, the Woombie swaddle was heaven-scent for us. The snug fit ensured that no renagade arms came popping out in the middle of the night. They have cute designs too!

If you are planning on breastfeeding, invest in some Milkies Milk Savers, especially for those first few weeks when your milk comes in. You put it on the opposite side you are feeding from and it catches any milk you leak. You save SO much milk! I got mine on Amazon. :)lgutuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305104740303747128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-13291791658688423302013-09-13T06:03:37.201-07:002013-09-13T06:03:37.201-07:00Love your picks!

When my oldest was at school it can come off. When they are with you it can be put back on and they ride it kind of like a skate board. It's the best option for when they're a little older but still too little to walk everywhere.

I bought the Mamaroo off of Craigslist or $80. I was hesitant to make such a large purchase just to see if she liked it. Like it? She LOVES it!!! So happy! I also bought an Ergo-I've never been a fan of baby wearing-I'm just too much on the go, and rushed to enjoy it, but with 3 little ones, and only 2 hands, I know that when I'm alone with all 3 it will be a must! <br /><br />I love anything Mustela, but am especially obsessed with their no-soap cleanser-perfect for a quick wipe down which leaves them smelling amazing! <br /><br />I will be doing a similar post soon at www.myroseamongthorns.blogspot.com MyRoseAmongThornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242358450734138295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-27212783196219272432013-09-12T14:28:13.437-07:002013-09-12T14:28:13.437-07:00My son never got into the whole "Sophie Giraf...My son never got into the whole "Sophie Giraffe" craze.

It's also on wheels (with a brake) so it's easy to move around the kitchen. Other must haves are the summer infant video monitor, baby bjorn thick rubber bibs, and the fisher price vibrating seat. My daughter loved it. It plays music and vibrates and is more easy to move to the bathroom, kitchen, etc. plus when my daughter was a little older, she could hold her own bottle in it!

The only thing I would add is the Summer Infant video monitor...love it! <br /><br />This is rather random, but if you have not yet purchased your Ergobaby, I will happily sell you mine. it's in excellent used condition (bought new for my 19th month old, who was in the 99% percentile, so quickly became to heavy for me to carry). <br /><br />You can email me if you're interested - it's this one. http://www.amazon.com/ERGObaby-Petunia-Carrier-Evening-Innsbruck/dp/B0058JWT70<br /><br />I planned to sell it to a lady at our church, but she wanted the infant insert, which I didn't have (and never needed, fyi, just rolled an A&A swaddle blanket and placed it beneath him).

It sounds gross but it works better than anything I've seen! I skipped a high chair the second time around and did a fisher price seat that straps to a chair. That way our little guy was always sitting with us at the table.
