Babycheapsake polled facebook fans on their favorite baby products of 2010 and came up with a great list. Many of them I have myself and completely agree. I thought this list might be helpful to new or expecting moms. Thanks to Angie for conducting this poll!
- Miracle Blanket Swaddling Blanket
- Woombie Swaddle Blanket
- Aden and Anais Cotton Muslin Swaddle Wrap
- Ergo Carrier
- Beco Carrier
- Summer Infant Day & Night Video Monitor
- Fisher Price Newborn Rock n Play Sleeper
- Fisher Price Jumperoo
- Fisher Price Cradle Swing
- Medela Pump in Style Breast Pump / Freestyle Breast Pump
As you can see from the picture, my first daughter loved to SLEEP in our Jumperoo. It never failed- she always bounced herself right to sleep. In another month or so we’ll be using it for our third child plus it was loaned out to a friend so it’s on it’s 4th baby and still pretty much looks new. I’d say we’ve gotten our money’s worth out of it!
Our other faves from the list above are:
- The muslin swaddle wraps- I love the large size of these. They are very light weight yet warm at the same time. They are also breathable and perfect for use as a nursing cover. I’ve given these as gifts and the recipients always love them as much as I do.
- Woombie- Haven’t used this particular brand but TrueWomb is similar and I loved it (so did baby!)
- Miracle Blanket- this works really well if your baby tends to be able to “break out” of it’s swaddle. It’s a little harder to use that TrueWomb and other velcro style swaddlers though.
- Breast Pump- if you stay home and don’t need to pump much like me, I suggest the Avent manual pump. No need to spend a lot of money on an electric unless you’ll be using it more. Again, still working well on the third go-round.
- Baby Monitor- we used the Sony BabyCall and I loved it until I lost the hand set. Till this day I have no idea where it could possibly be and I miss it! I’ve never used a video monitor so I can’t speak for those.
