Favorite Baby Items

I asked my wife this morning to list her five favorite baby items we have bought or been gifted and I did the same. We didn't reveal our lists until we were each done. I figured I'd share and see if anyone wanted to add to it!

1. Owl Light: https://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Light-My-Way-Nightlight/dp/B009UPUC36

We bought this light last minute at Walmart and I'm not even entirely sure why. We use it all. The. Time. It's one of the only lights that doesn't wake him up for midnight changings but it's still bright enough we can see to do things. It's also very portable and the handle is helpful when toting around a baby. This was on my list.

2. The Snuza. When you put it on baby you can see the light flash with each breath. We call him robot baby. My list.

3. Vibrating Chair: https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/fisher-price-reg-worldwide-infant-to-toddler-rocker/1041352571?skuId=41352571&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_furniture_&adpos=1o3&creative=43742643829&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&product_id=41352571&gclid=CMP8wduCl9ECFZCCswodZ1kNzQ

This baby isn't phased by swings or anything fancy. All he wants is his vibrating safari chair. Both our lists.

4. Wipe warmer: https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Warmies-Wipes-Warmer/dp/B001QIN6ME/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482932813&sr=8-1&keywords=cloth+wipe+warmer

We use cloth wipes and love this thing. Thought we wouldn't, but can't imagine life without it now. Took away the screams of bloody murder during changes. Both our lists.

5. Cloth Diapers: this was on my list. I love our cloth diapers. Surprisingly the pre folds are my favorites. I don't touch the all in ones unless we are out of prefolds.

6. My wife put down baby bullet even though we haven't used it yet. And the covertaw car seat. We don't like the infant carrier at all like the rest of the world. Go figure.

7. My wife also put down Tommee Tippee bottles. The ones with the super slow flow that are more expensive. She loves feeding him and we EBF. He takes literally any bottle, but these nipples more simulate a nursing session we have found.

    As silly as it sounds with all my babies flannel receiving blankets. I loved them, had mountains of them. I found so many uses for them.

    Adding this gem to the list: https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-Love-Musical-Natural-Stroll/dp/B013UDAQ0C/ref=sr_1_16_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1483025882&sr=1-16

    It fits on literally anything...stroller, rock n play, bassinet, changing table, etc. Baby just took a nearly 2 hour nap with it attached to the rock and play. He woke up for a second, but looked at the mirror thing in the middle and was rocked back to sleep. New favorite thing. Also it isn't electronic, so there's no annoying sounds anytime you touch it.
