Before Mav arrived, I was pretty adamant about not having too much stuff; after all, he's just a baby, right?!! Well, my family didn't get the memo. Clothes poured in, thankfully mostly second-hand & now we are a tad overstimulated with toys (which I intend on weeding out as soon as possible) over here. That being said, if I had to chose only 6 baby gear items to keep, the ones below are it. They are the things we use the most and really love. Basically, these were worth every penny.
Must Have Baby Gear by lovefoxvintage on polyvore.com
1. Ergo Baby Carrier-we use this pretty much everyday. It is the best carrier we have tried! We also own a Baby Bjorn that a friend so kindly gave us, but after Maverick hit 13 pounds it was painful. We love the Ergo because of the cushy hip support, padded shoulder straps, sun shade, and front pocket. It was a great investment & we will be using this for quite some time to come.
2. Aden & Anais Swaddle Blankets-these were gifts from my mother-in-law & if I had to, I wouldn't think twice about buying these! I use these everyday, for everything (except swaddling, which Mav wasn't into). I use them as a nursing cover-up, a lightweight blanket over the stroller, for spit up messes & cozy nap wrapping. I love how breathable they are and how simple and subtle the designs are. I sorta hate most designs on baby textiles.
3. Flip Cloth Diaper System-I know there are so many great choices when it comes to cloth diapers, but for our budget Flip's have been wonderful. So far we love these one-size diapers because they are super easy to use, maintain and clean. I did tons of research on cloth diapering & these got great reviews on being super durable and economical compared with similar brands/styles.
4. Sophie the Giraffe teether-this was the best $20 bucks we spent! Mav loves chewing and slobbering on Sophie. Real simple and real good.
5. Inglesina Fast Table Hook-On High Chair-now that we are feeding solids, a high chair was needed. Our problem is that we have a super tiny kitchen, so we couldn't fit any high chair basically. Except this awesome one! We love that it's so easy to hook on, sturdy, cushy and travels well. Highly recommend if you have a small space.
6. Boppy Pillow-I found one of these at a consignment shop so look there first. This has been a wonderful little pillow for making nursing more comfortable. It was especially helpful in the beginning when I was still learning to breast feed.
