whoever invented the oscilating chair should be recognized as a saint! my son has food allergies (cows milk especially) and very irritable stomach/bowels. these chairs saved my sanity and my babys belly. if only they were stronger

Favourites are baby infant carrier, back style carrier with frame and swing came in handy. I also liked the bath sling that sat in the tub and kept my son's head out of the water. Bottle warmer for home and car.

Pointless items, bouncy seat, bath tub, infant car seat. My husband like this but I could not stand it( i think because I am fairly short and it was a big strain on my back.

A rocking chair or glider would def make my life easier. My son loves to be rocked and always has. And after only 2hrs sleep walking around is not my cup of tea!

For me with my twins was my EZ 2 nurse pillow, the swings, and my Graco Quatro Duo double stroller. I can fit both of the infant car seats into it and it doesnt have to be a certain one. Most Graco carseats fit in it. The EZ 2 nurse pillow is awesome I am still breastfeeding them at 6 months old!



The bumbo chairs they hate them about 5 seconds! Then they start screaming! They would rather be in there exersaucer! Bottle warmers somebody swore up and down I would need them because there is two!! But I have always nursed them!!



A Maid woiuld help me too!! I have four kids!! there isnt enough time in the day!! The other thing would be if I could just never get tired!! That would be a huge help!!

My son LOVED the Jumperoo!! We had the Rainforest one, but I think any of the Jumperoos would have won his heart!!

Sheet savers (the rectangle tie on things) were a complete waste.

My Hot Sling was awesome too!!

The Bumpkins bibs are the best. Well worth the cost of about $6-8 per bib. You only need one and it lasts forever. The fabric is soft yet waterproof and durable. No more washing tons of cloth bibs or cracking plastic. Just rinse after use and its dry within 1/2 hr. The size is perfect for infants through toddler. And it doesn't have all those dangerous plastic chemicals!

The Graco baby swing. We'd be lost without it! The most pointless thing was a baby bather. We preferred to use the sink or the actual tub.

The best thing that I have purchased was a jogging stroller. You can take that puppy anywhere. I also loved Lamaze toys that hang from car seats or strollers. I also like my pack and play!

My daughter loved the bouncy chair! Any brand will do! We couldn't have done without it during her first 5 months or so. One thing I haven't used more then once was the microwave bottle sanitizer... seems a bit excessive and not worth it!

I have a Safety First car seat and I love it. I have a stroller with carrier, by Cosco, that is so hard to do up! I should have checked the clips when I bought it. What a pain! he most pointless thing I received was a bottle warmer, which I don't use. I microwave the glass bottle of formula for 20 seconds and that's fine for my son.

The only thing I can think of hat would make my life easier, would be a maid! I hate doing dishes and vacuuming!

Hi the best thing I had was the Buggie Board. Fantastic piece of equipment. Great for when my eldest daughter got tired of walking and needed a lift.



Not sure about the most pointless thing but am sure there was one.



Calpol on tap 24-7 because you always have enough in until you really need it, to then find you have run out! To have people not use in parent and child parking without having a child with them.

I loved the Japanese style Mei Tai backpacks. My kids lived in them. (Especially when you have things to get done and can't hold a baby all the time.) They are just cloth and are well supported so they don't add weight or hurt you back!

Both my boys LOVED the exersaucer.. They could play in there for hours. The bumbo chair was a waste of money and quite dangerous. I wished I had invested in a jogging stroller..my kids loved to take walks and I ended up using the double stoller..which was a good workout-but not a very enjoyable one!
