5 Must Haves For New Moms?

Question

Name the top 5 things you don't think you could do without during the first few months of baby being born.

Answer 1

1)"swaddle me" Swaddler (at babies r us....couldnt have lived without this!)
2) Small swing for next to the bed (helped rock newborn to sleep and kept him asleep for at least a few hours at a time)
3) Pacifier (helps baby fall asleep)
4) Onesies (for sleeping and wearing during the day...they wont be in much else!)
5) Sling baby carrier ( the ones that you tie over your shoulder..the baby goes in the front and they hold the baby close to you while you walk around etc....it helps to promote good sleep habits, closeness with your baby, reduces colic and promotes good breastfeeding habits)
These were my life savers...I left out the obvious basics such as bottles, diapers, cleaning cloths etc... since they are pretty much common knowledge and tried to go for the non typical but crucially important things for your baby and your sleep!!! :)
