Yes, this is a pricey essential but for the first several weeks I lived, nursed, slept, pumped, ate, drank and nursed some more in my rocker with a matching ottoman. Still love it!<br />2. The velcro swaddler wrap. My boys loved being bundled...even in July!<br />3. A downstairs changing station. We just set up our pack n play and it was SO helpful not having to run upstairs to the changing table for every diaper change. Especially with two under two, we needed a safe place to put baby down but still keep an eye on everyone. We have a 5 yr old graco and still use it for guests. Works great!DinaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926254841670720142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546196027278744800.post-79394796417273346732010-12-20T17:36:21.838-08:002010-12-20T17:36:21.838-08:001.

We lugged our BABY SWING cross country because I didn't want to part with it.<br />3. The SNUGGLE NEST. It's a great co-sleeping apparatus that keeps baby safe in his/her own space but still right beside you. And even if you don't regularly co-sleep, it would make traveling with an infant much easier to have him/her bed with you rather than hauling a pack n play.<br />4.

Moby carrier. Yes, it is a little complicated at first but far worth it. It distributes the weight across your whole back and is the only sling we know of that allow baby to face out (besides Bjorn which hurt my back a lot). It's also the only one that works with newborns and transitions to older babies.<br />2. Miracle Blanket. T got out of EVERY swaddle blanket, but not this one!<br />3.

(sorry) that small diaper changing thing...I forget who makes it, but you can throw it in your bag...(not just a diaper bag.)<br />And for fun, here's a waste of time list....<br />1. pacifier clips...did they work for anyone?<br />(that's the only thing I can think of, currently.... sorry.)Sullivan's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672296554801651606noreply@blogger.com
