Here's are a few of my favorite baby things, I'll continue to add to this list:
JJ Cole bibs - These seriously rock. The cloth bibs are great during the early drooling stages but once solids are introduced, these are the bibs you'll need, especially if your kid is like Pig and yanks the bib off first thing. This thing comes with three snaps so that you can adjust the circumference and no matter how hard Pig pulled, she could not pull it off. Muahahahhaha!
Phil and Teds Inline Stroller with doubles kit - We just got this stroller and it's the coolest thing ever. I absolutely love our Bumbleride stroller but if you're planning on having more than one kid and you have little storage space, you can save yourself some moolah by getting this stroller. There are four different models. It's super easy to use and can be configured to accommodate one toddler, a toddler and newborn, one newborn, or two toddlers. The newborn seat, which reclines flat, serves as a makeshift bassinet when you're out. The other day while at the park, I was able to feed Moo and then pop him into his seat for a safe place to snooze. We were lucky to find the Vibe model for a great price at costco.com and snapped it up. It maneuvers wonderfully on rough terrain but still managed to provide a smooth ride. And what makes me happiest is that it folds up and fits nicely in my small trunk.
Go-go Kidz Travelmate - This one drew envious looks from frazzled parents at the airport. Parents definitely get this gizmo. Let's face it, it looks kinda funny, in fact, I heard quite a bit of snickering from people who probably thought I was treating my kid as luggage. If you're going to need a car seat at your destination, you can strap it on this contraption. Basically, it just adds wheels to your car seat so that you can convert it into a stroller of sorts. So simple, but so ingenious. It did attract alot of attention but I felt better when I saw a group of parents lugging huge car seats on their backs.
Nosefrida - Ok, this is another weird one. BUT, you will learn to love it. In fact, there will be a point where you will pray that the Good Lord reap bountiful blessings upon the country of Sweden for producing such a wondrous device. What is it you ask? It's a booger sucker. And when your kid is sick, you will become obsessed with all things booger-y. Those bulb nasal aspirators are crap. We tried them and all we ended up doing was piss Pig off something fierce. The Nosefrida allows you to control the suction with your mouth and you don't have to jam it up an already tender nostril. The thing has a filter so there's no way you'll accidentally end up with boogers down your throat...but hey if it happens it just means a cool blog entry, no?
Kirkland (Costco) Brand Diaper Wipes - These are alcohol free, unscented and soft and gentle on the little hineys.
Diapers.com - We've been ordering our diapers from this online retailer. Since Costco only stocks Huggies and our house is Pampers country, we've found the best deal on this website. They offer free fast shipping for orders of $50 or more.
Earth's Best Infant Formula - when I ran out of frozen expressed breastmilk, we began ordering Earth's Best Cow Milk Formula. It's organic and gentle on the tummy, in fact we had no issues with constipation while Pig was on it.
Wish List:
Phil and Teds Lobster high chair - Parents are digging this so much, it's backordered everywhere. Having a very squirmy toddler, who enjoys standing up in her highchair, I've been looking all over for a good portable chair with an escape proof harness. This looks like it might be the one. Apparently, it'll be be available in July
