A Listmania! list by J. Nitzky(New York, New York United States)
The list author says: "These are all products that we have received or bought, used or tested and are the things we used the most and think are the best! These are also some of the things we absolutely could not do without! If you are new parents or soon-to-be new parent, this is a great starting place to get your registry set up or buy the things you may need now. Also - BIG TIP - Amazon's Subscribe and Save program saves you 15% to have the most needed things like diapers, wipes, laundry and cleaning supplies and groceries. They ship it right to your door and it gets automatically re-ordered in your specified time frame...a BIG help since most new parents, like us, either don't have as much time to spend at the store, or would rather spend that time hanging out with your little ones! to go to the Subcribe and Save program, go to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/subscribe-and-save/details/index.html"
"A MUST HAVE for a sound sleep! This will fit the baby from birth to about 3 months (depending on size) then you may want to get a large. These are very easy to swaddle your baby and they really work to sooth the baby for sleeping!"
"You'll need plenty of these! These are very good for babies with sensitive skin - mine has eczema and has no problems with these wipes. Order with "subscribe and save" and save 15% and have them delivered on a regular basis!"
"Perfect size for small babies and for the recently home from the hospital. Big tip: order diapers from Amazon.com and select "subscribe and save" to not only save an additional 15% but also have them delivered on a regular basis! You don't have time to keep running to the store for diapers - spend that extra time with your newborn and let the diapers come to you!"
"These are the best bio-degradable diapers! They are soft, use no harsh chemicals or bleach, no fragrance and they work REALLY well with leaks! They tend to run slightly smaller than competitive brands. They are also not easy to find so buy them here!"
"This is ONE thing you definitely can't do without! It does a great job of concealing the smell of diapers (if you change the bag a few times/week) it’s easy to use, easy to clean & quick to get rid of a stinky diaper! Also, you do not need the special diaper trash bags - we use the less expensive tall kitchen bags (drawstring / scented helps); spray the outside with Lysol to keep germs at bay."
"This was a gift that ended up the most used toy/activity mat for our son! As a very young infant, he loved to lay on the blanket and stare at the toys and listen to the music. He loved the light-up musical star! Not too long after that, he started to grab the hanging toys and kick. For tummy-time, he loved the colorful animals and objects on the blanket and looking into the mirror."
"We don't have this one but our neighbor does and I like it a lot more than ours! It's best features are that it can be used as a carriage for infants and sleeping babies and the handle bars are reversible so you can either have the child looking out or facing you! It's really light-weight and is a little narrower than the Graco brands, which is good when in small NYC shops with narrow aisles!"
"incredibly durable and tall - not climbable! the latch is the only thing not metal and if gate is closed to hard often, it can crack. Has a 1 year warranty and they will replace your gate free of charge (and quickly) if something breaks."
"This is a MUST MUST have! It makes carrying baby a breeze while it frees up your hands. It's really easy to use and very sturdy - we used this for both kids through 18 months!"
"Definitely needed if you plan to breast feed to slip inside your bra to prevent leaks. These work great overnight and are more absorbant and easier to use than other brands or washable. Stock up and even get them delivered on a regular basis AND save 15% when you buy through Amazon's Subscribe and Save program!"
"This is a great simple picture board book that is perfectly sized for baby and toddler - both my kids really love these books. The photos are very clear and bold. My 1 year old now looks at the pages by herself and for my 3 y.o. we used this book for learning words when he was 18 months+ and now he enjoys reading it to his baby sister!"
"This book is excellent to teach colors as well as words and object recognition. The photos are clean, simple and bold which makes it easier for babies and toddlers to learn from. It is also a very sturdy board book! So many other books get destroyed but this has held up very well!"
