I guess my other thread got me thinking...which products do you/did you absolutely love?

1. Baby Bottle Thermos/Warmer Combo--we had this contraption that stored two full baby bottles in a "cooler" in the back & then, when I got up, I added a little water to the warmer area, turned it on--it steamed the bottle--and I'd change my son while the bottle was warming. I barely had to be awake!!

2. The "cootie protector"--we have one of those covers for grocery carts/restaurant high chairs and we LOVE it--my son is 28-months and he's had one cold. I love knowing he isn't exposed to other kids' germs (i.e. pink eye & the other oozy, germy ailments)!!

My Baby Bjorn hands down.

I looked at the bottle thing and just really didn't get it. That and DD didn't (and still doesn't) have the patience to wait to eat while I change her.

I have a cover for the shopping cart. You can attach a couple toys to it too. It's really nice.

Baby sling- I used it so often when grocery shopping, etc!

Karen Katz lift the flap books- loved them from day 1

Aquarium Soother for crib- was the only thing DD would hush to. She'd stare at it, coo and put herself to sleep. Was a godsend for me!

The SWING!!!!!!!! man I would put the baby in that bad boy and turn music on or turn baby einstiens on and put them in front of the tv and go to town doing what I need to get done. 2nd favorite is the walker when they are mobile they can follow you around if they want and your hands are free. Wow I sound like a lazy parent lol Trust me I held my kids all the time but when I needed a break those 2 things were life savers.

Disposable diapers are the first thing to come to mind! The baby swing, the exersaucer, a travel playpen that we got for DS that had the bassinet on top...LOVED that!

It is a toss up between the swing and the stroller. She doesn't really use the swing anymore, but it was used a ton up until now. So the stroller. We go for walks in the neighborhood just about everyday, and everywhere else we go...she is in there. She loves it.

Robeez shoes. Babies just love to pull their socks off. And newborns don't seem to be able to keep theirs on. We live in a cold area and these things kept their socks on, kept their feet warm and they are just so darn cute.

Hands down, its the shopping cart/restaurant highchair cover. I buy them for all the baby showers I am invited to. They are just the best.

Second fave was the Advent bottle sterilzer. Couldn't have been easier or faster. Loved it.
