Everyone has a few of their favorite things. Here are the things we could not live without!

• This is AMAZING – every parent should have one: Leachco Podster Sling-Style Infant Seat Lounger, Sage Pin Dot
• An easier version of a high chair (we don’t even have a high chair)
• I wish all my bibs were these ones
• These are hands down the best burp cloths and they double as bibs
• Every baby is different when it comes to bottles, but we found these to be amazing
• Good earmuffs to bring along to a sporting event or concert
• Undeniably my favorite diapers
• A good way to save every drop of milk when breastfeeding and leaking: Milkies Milk-Saver Breast Milk Collector Storage BPA Free
• A great footie– I hated the mittens, so this was an ideal solution
• The Über-convenient pump
• I started buying Baby Food online
• These Fresh Food Feeders are amazing, especially when they start teething – you can put frozen fruit inside
• This sun tent is a must have, especially if you have a baby who isn’t six months old yet in the summer
• Sippy Cup: This sippy cup is perfect because it has two handles and a straw that doesn’t leak. Plus the end of the straw in the water has a weight on it so as the cup is tilted, the straw still works.

Books:

• We haven’t read a lot of parenting books, but this one is a MUST read: Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five
• If you’re not really digging the Cry It Out Solutions, we found this book helpful: The No-Cry Sleep Solution
• Another good book if you’re interested in learning more about vaccines: The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library)
• My giflfriend gave me this book and it is a must-read any time, especially if your spirits need some lifting: Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed

Movies:

• Whether you know or don’t know where you want to have your baby, watching this will definitely help you look at things in a new light, one that will likely help you be more prepared: The Business of Being Born
