What are the top 5 items you have purchased or been given for the baby that you wouldn't want to do without?
Here are mine: 1. Angelcare Sound and Movement Monitor (Great peace of mind) 2. Safe-T-Sleep (Another peace of mind thing knowing she's not going to roll onto her face at night) 3. Change Table (Has saved my back so much!) 4. Travel Cot (For us, this started a better routine when she could sleep in the lounge during the day) 5. Musical Mobile (She loves it so much we can have a moments peace and quiet when she is in her cot) |

I can't remember what I wrote last time so I'll just in what I find good now....ummmmm..
1. my cloth nappy stash....could not live without it! 2. the change table/bath....fabulous! 3. Mountain Buggy...it's proven itself invaluable! 4. Bouncer...Maddie loves hers! Just a good basic one, nothing fancy. 5. Tommee Tippee closer to Nature bottles...love the shape and Maddie fed better from them as soon as we started using them. And sorry but I have to put in a sixth one: 6. My front loader washing machine...love it! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

1. My Mum (of course  )
2. Dummies (sanity saver, but she only has one now for bed) 3. Jolly Jumper (her legs never stop moving so it was an obvious "must have") 4. Cot Mobile (also saved our sanity) 5. Cloth Nappies (saved us a fortune) ------------- http://lilypie.com">
