We parents need all the help we can get when it comes to tending to and raising our kids. By HELP we mean people close to us who lend us a hand, and gadgets/implemets that make our life easier.
Here's my list of best baby stuff ever:
1. Electric breast pumps--especially the dual pump. It doesn't keep me tied down at home all the time. Pump milk, freeze...voila!
2. The Walker- helped me teach my son independence, decreased my stress from seeing my son always falling flat on his face. It also doubled as his feeding chair
3. Baby wipes--clean as you go!
4. Commercial baby food-for those times I don't have time to prepare home-cooked meals
5. Crib-to-playpen convertibles- saved me a lot of money!
6. Cross-cut nipples-kept my son's milk from spilling when his bottle falls from his hands
7. Desitin/any zinc oxide preparation-bye-bye diaper rash!
8. Infant car seats-safety on the go! Doubles as a bassinet/rocker, too =)
9. Disposable diapers-made my life easier!
10. Vaporizer-helps my baby breathe easily when he has a cold
What are your top baby stuff picks?

1. plastic bottles! I only haqd the glass nursers for my oldest, because that was all that was available, and often they broke in the sterilizer or dishwasher, and never bounced when dropped.
2. The baby swing. I think possibly my son would not be alive if that wind up babyswing hadn't been invented just before he was born. And my grandkids slept through the night in the swing long before they slept in their cribs.

1. Baby trend sit and stand stroller, possibly the best double stroller for a mother of a toddler and baby!
2. Pack N' Play, We have used it for every vacation, the baby always has somewhere safe to sleep where I know he won't fall out of bed!
3. Outlet covers! Thank goodness for them!
4. Johnny Jump-up, keeps my 5 month old happy, and stationary and keeps his little legs moving as well!
5. Exersaucer, same idea as the johnny jump up, just more out of the way.

Yey for outlet covers! Trust that when there's an electric outlet out there, any baby will slip his finger in it =)

A bouncy chair. Saved my sanity. I could put my baby in it and get things done. Such as cooking, cleaning, or the most desired shower!
A baby sling while on the go, plop the boy in and i didnt get tired of holding him or carrying a carseat. Termal or waffle blankets for swaddling and wraping baby. Another wonderful livesaver for me.

I haven't tried a bouncy chair nor a sling... hmnn... just might check it out when the next baby comes.
