Keep it all in one spot, too! There are few things as stressful as a sick or teething baby and you realize, "oops! we're all out of tylenol!" Poor Cody has had to take way too many late night trips to the drugstore. 3) A baby carrier. We, too, LOVE our Ergo. We also have the Maya carrier which is fantastic as well. Next time I would love to round out our collection with a Solly Baby carrier. 4) This isn't really an essential item as much as it is a super fantastic tip (like my confidence?): Beyond a stroller, a bed, and a carseat, get big ticket items from consignment stores or borrow from friends! Just ask around. I know so many parents who said, "My baby hated the swing!" etc. PS. The baby bjorn travel crib is perfection, if anyone was wondering. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Julie! I love talking about this stuff... ; )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935507908020977685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-82543392739590454872013-10-23T17:23:52.968-04:002013-10-23T17:23:52.968-04:00I think a crib is a necessity for later months, wh...I think a crib is a necessity for later months, when the baby is sleeping through the night. Grace does not sleep in our bed - she sleeps in the fisher price rock 'n sleep, which is an inclined sleeping area - very safe!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845051786114528609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-49290043896110412382013-10-23T16:43:02.182-04:002013-10-23T16:43:02.182-04:00I totally agree about the 2 birth certificates! It...I totally agree about the 2 birth certificates! It's easy to replace them, but it's still a pain when you tear the house apart looking for them. I'd also recommend (along with the onesies and sleepers) 2-3 romper (long sleeved and legged onesies without feet) just until you figure out if your baby runs hot or cold. I definitely did not use anything other than onesies. sleepers, and rompers until the baby was 6 months old. Oh, and make sure to get the zip sleepers! You do not want to be dealing with snaps in the middle of the night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925325484743424755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-58613445035542816592013-10-23T15:34:03.444-04:002013-10-23T15:34:03.444-04:00Girl, you've got this!

I loved them both!<br />Take care of yourself. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102296881515189130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-29041808384236734692013-10-23T15:19:32.027-04:002013-10-23T15:19:32.027-04:00I think a crib is a necessity.

I have heard of too many stories from too many L&D nurses/aunts whose patients have smothered their babies in their sleep, and not noticed it until it was too late.lilahbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561908688642711894noreply@blogger.com
