Gas Drops!! Those are the best thing! I give a bottle at every baby shower I go to. You just can't have a baby without them!

I have a few (and a few are repeats):

1. Gas drops - dani's right - couldn't live without 'em!!!

2. Swing - only way I could get the boys to naps some days

3. Breast pump - I went back to work with DS#1 was 4 months old, and avoided buying formula unti he was 8 months old

4. The book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (I actually borrowed this from the library) - the directions in there for swaddling were a LIFESAVER with my 2nd son. It even gave the right dimensions for a blanket that would work; I just got some flannel from Rag Shop and made my own.

5. Baby Mozart and Baby Bach videos - these were the only 2 Baby Einsteins my kids liked as little babies and it allowed me to cook dinner during *the witching hour*

6. Boppy pillow - I know many people don't like this, but it helped me tremendously with breastfeeding especially in the early days w/ DS#1 since I had trouble at first.

7. Glider rocker

8. CD "Sleep, Baby, Sleep" by Nicolette Larson - beautiful lullabies

I know - that's a lot of things!! But think about ALL the baby products out there and 8 isn't so bad!!!

Hands down, mine was the bouncer. I don't know how I would have survived without them. I could put both babies in the bounce one with each foot and read a much needed book. Or when worse came to worse, they were great for propping a bottle.
