Mommies – What are your favorite baby products?
I’d like to know what your favorite baby products are. I’m almost 25 weeks, and feeling the need to get everything set up for a baby in May and I’d like to know what you use and couldn’t live without! Please be specific. Diaper brands, baby carriers, wipes, bedding, diaper pails, mattresses (foam vs coils? Brands?), changing pads, anything you have that you find helpful and convenient to use on or with your babies. The more info and details the better.
Thanks for reading and answering! All comments are appreciated!
Diapers- Huggies all the way
Wipes- Huggies (absolutly hate the way pampers wipes feel…they are scratchy).
If you want to save a couple extra bucks…Costco has their own brand (Kirkland signature) and they are manufactured by huggies, so they are actually huggie products with a different name at a cheap price
Baby Carrier- Infantino front 2 back rider—-It’s great, veratile, and comfortable. Can wear on your front with baby facing in or out, and when baby is older can be worn on your back. Very nice thick padded straps very supportive, and best of all. It’s only about $30.

Wipe Warmer- Couldn’t live with out it…sounds so ridiculous, but it’s one of those “Must Haves”. I have the one made by Prince LionHeart, and my wipes never dry out and never turn brown…Its wonderful

Mattress- I have a seally with coils, it’s wonderful.
Diaper pail- I find useless…I have a regular small garbage can with a flip up lid. (cost $5).
CD player for the nursery- I regret not getting one, because now I have my portable dvd player in there to play the lullabye cd’s. The white noise really helps them fall asleep. As soon as I put some soft music on, he’s immediatly relaxed and asleep within minutes
Humidifier- Any kind will work fine. I have the Elephant one from babies r us, I love it…It’s soooo cute, and very quiet, a breeze to fill, and gives out a good amount of mist. Also has an automatic shut off safety feature in case it runs out of water. ($42)

BebeSounds By Graco Battery Operated Nasal aspirator- Those Bulb syringes are a huge pain in the butt. I Recommend this product to Everyone, and anyone I know that has it…absolutly loves it. It’s a True MUST HAVE. ($20)

Changing pads and bedding, I went relativly cheap. Sheets are sheets. And a baby is only on a changing table for a few minutes at a time. I really think the $100 changing pads are absurd. I bought mine for like $30. Sheets I bought whatever was on sale, and if you don’t mind plain white, you can get a 2 pack for like $9 a walmart.
I do recommend the waterproof pads for under all your bedding, this way if there’s ever an accident, the matress doesn’t get wet. I use the waterproof pads on my changing tables, bassinet, pack n play, and crib. They come in many different sizes ranging from $10 for 2, and the big fitted ones for the crib are about $10 each.
I found my bassinet to be useless, as my son outgrew it in 2 months. I didn’t even want one, but got it as a gift. I was just going to use my pack n play with the bassinet insert in my room, which is what I had to do for about a month anyway after he outgrew the bassinet.
Baby emery boards are wonderful. I was very scared to use nail clippers when he was a newborn, and my son would not keep those lil mits on his hands, no matter what I did he found a way to get them off and scratch his face. So instead of cutting them, I filed them down with little emery boards and never had to worry about cutting his little fingers
Make sure you have a good thermometer. Up until the age of 3 months, the only accurate way to take a baby’s temp is rectally. After 3 months old, their ear canals are large enough to get an accurate ear reading.
Baby Monitor- A must have! I love the one I have b/c all three peices can run on batter power (including the base), it comes with 2 receivers. It has 2 channels, and I never have interference. It lights up when baby makes noise so you can see activity even if the volume is off. The base has a digital thermometer on it so you always know the temperature of the baby’s room.

Huge Diaper bag and bottle cooler bag. I love my ginormous bag that holds everything I could ever need. As long as I don’t overpack with clothes, it’s even big enough to fit my cooler bag and 2 cans of formula.
