Diaper Bag (is it a designer bag or just a plain ol' back pack) we got a cute sesame street one from my shower (bought at walmart) but if i were to buy one, i would just get a good backpack

Glider & Ottoman glidermotion... i love it!

Bouncy Seat never used one

Exersaucer not sure the make... also borrowed from cousin

Door Jumper had a jolly jumper with its own stand that we got as a gift but we rarely used it... i didn't think it was safe

Nursing Pillow didn't use one, just normal pillows

Breat Pump gerber hand pump... it was cheap and always did the job for me

Bottles don't use them

Sippy Cups not sure the make but it's the one with 2 handles and the spill proof lids. the kids didn't like the playtex ones

Bottle Warmer didn't use this

Diaper Pail fisher price... i love it cuz regular kitchen garbage bags fit into it and there is a spot to keep a deoderizer

Play Gyms leap frog... great item!

Pack 'n' Play/Play Pens graco pack n play.. i wanted a 3 in 1 this time but never got it.

I have the infant carrier with the Carseat base. Then we bought the Graco Copnvertible Carseat.

We have 2 diaper bags one is small and only holds a few diapers the other one is HUGE and has all these pockets and compartments, I loved this when she was a newborn, but now that she is 18mths I prefer the little one.

We have a StorkCraft crib, it was purchased my Inlaws when we had our first baby. With Claudia we bought a Bassinet/Moses Basket.

We had a bouncy chair, bt Claudia didn't really like this.

We also had an Exersaucer, Claudia loved this.

We had a Jolly Jumper, but Claudia was too small for it.

My cousin lent us the Graco Swing and it was a lifesaver! I wish I had one of these with my first 2! thumb.gif

I loved my nursing pillow, but I would recommend paying a little bit more and purchasing one that curves. I got mine for $20.00 at Walmart and it was just like a pillow with a square cut out in the front.

Definately would recommend the Medella Breast Pump. thumb.gif

We used at first the Gerber bottles with the Nuk nipples (this was recommended by our Lactation Consultant).

Safety First semi-disposable cups. They were excellent! But now we are starting to use the Playtex sipper cups with the valves and some sports bottles with straws.

No diaper pail, but I've heard that the diaper genie is wonderful!

Walkers are banned in Canada so we didn't have one.

Safety First Baby monitor

We use Baby Motrin, but this is not recommended until they are over 4mths. In the beginning we used Baby Tylenol.

We also buy the Johnson and Johnson Vapour Bath, excellent product! thumb.gif

Melissa replied: Walkers are banned in Canada. I had no idea.

Jamison'smama replied: Travel System (stroller/carrier combo) --I stated with the Eddie Bauer travel system but changed to the Peg Perego Venezia stroller when she was about 6 months old and out of her carrier.

Convertable Car Seat (for when they are to big for their carriers or moms that plan to skip the carrier altogether). Evenflo Triumph--Love it!

Diaper Bag (is it a designer bag or just a plain ol' back pack) Eddie Bauer/ Vera Bradley/ and a backpack

Crib --I will have to look it up and edit my post later

Glider & Ottoman --not sure what brand but we have them

Bouncy Seat --gift from sister--not sure what brand--cheaper kind but did the trick!

Exersaucer --Evenflo Ultrasaucer

Door Jumper --had a Graco Bumper jumper but didn't use it very much

Swing -- Graco in Saratoga

Nursing Pillow --MY BREAST FRIEND--would recommend it to anyone for those first few months!

Breat Pump --Pump in Style

Bottles --Had Avent but rarely used them

Sippy Cups --All kinds--loves the ones with straws now--early on she liked any with the softer spout

Bottle Warmer--Never used one

Diaper Pail --Have two Diaper Genies but we don't use them anymore

Walkers --Didn't have one

Play Gyms --only a Disney one that was not really a Gym

Pack 'n' Play/Play Pens --Graco Saratoga pack n play and we have a second one--can't remember the pattern name

Monitors --Safety First video monitor--love it so much we bought a second one!!

Pain Relief Meds--Tylenol and Hylands Teething Tablets

Other--we also used a diaper wipe warmer--liked it a lot,

I also love our sling--I used it just yesterday and Jamison is 17 months old--It is a Maya Wrap--I have two a black one and a denim-looking one---they are GREAT!! I used a Nojo in the beginning and it was just fine for a newborn.

MommyToAshley replied: Travel System (stroller/carrier combo)
Graco travel combo (not sure of model) but I LOVED it. (Got it as a shower gift)

Infant Carrier (if not part of a travel system) Same as above

Convertable Car Seat (for when they are to big for their carriers or moms that plan to skip the carrier altogether).
Graco again, I will have to check on the model. Works great and Ashley loves looking forward now.

Diaper Bag (is it a designer bag or just a plain ol' back pack)
Big Diaper Bag... my MIL got tired of seeing me try to stuff everything into a small diaper bag so she went out and bought a HUGE diaper bag. I don't know the brand name though.

Crib
I'll have to check on the model and edit this post (Not doing too good with the models, I will be doing a lot of editing)

Glider & Ottoman
I don't know the model here either blush.gif But, it is pretty... it's a hunter green with small pinkish diamonds in it

Bouncy Seat

Exersaucer - Evenflo Megasaucer and Ashley loved it!

Door Jumper -- Didn't have one.

Swing -- Graco again, I will check on the model

Nursing Pillow

Breat Pump - Isis

Bottles - didn't do bottles.

Sippy Cups - We have just about every kind of sippy cup. She'll drink out of any of them now, but she likes the disposable ones the best.

Bottle Warmer

Diaper Pail - Diaper Champ... it worked great for keeping out odors but you have to fold the diapers up small or they get stuck.

Walkers Tot Wheels Walker Ashley loved it, I couldn't have lived without it. We had a little different pattern than the one in the link.

Play Gyms

Pack 'n' Play/Play Pens - We had a Pack 'n Play, but I will have to check on the brand name. I think it was Graco.

Monitors - Angel Care Bebe sounds monitor. I wouldn't have gotten a wink of sleep without it. Since it detects any movement including breathing, it gave me some reassurance.

Pain Relief Meds (ex: Baby Motrin, Baby Advil, Baby Tylenol, etc.)
Ashley hasn't really been sick, but I gave her Tylenol for her shots. Motrin and Hyland Teething Tabs for teething.


I have a lot of editing to do. I'll check on the brands and edit this post.

Convertable Car Seat (for when they are to big for their carriers or moms that plan to skip the carrier altogether). We have had 3 so far trying to find the one that worked the best fr our needs: A Cosco something or other with an overhead bar; hated it (recalls and pain in the butt). Evenflo Titan 5; Loved it but she got a new one from the inlaws for Christmas. Britax Galaxy; LOVE IT it is more comfortable for her since we do a lot of traveling and it is easy for us to use! I will never own anything but another Britax COnvertable seat!

Diaper Bag (is it a designer bag or just a plain ol' back pack) I have a diaper bag from Target with Winnie the Pooh on it I have both the large one and the small one They are cream cloth but they are easy to clean and I love them I mostly use the little one unless I am on a big trip or headed to a pageant. (I have been through 3-4 already trying to find one I really like and one that would not tear i had a problem with that for some reason)

Crib I have a Cherry crib that came from Target I forget the brand and it is not here now. It converts to a toddler Bed. I have not used it ever so I can't tell you how I like it!(it has been in Storage in Monterey since 8/03 I get it back in a month or so)

Pain Relief Meds (ex: Baby Motrin, Baby Advil, Baby Tylenol, etc.) We have used them all but usually use the store brands!

Here are a couple Extras:
Bath tub: I have had 3 with Becca her favorite is her Ducky tub from Walmart but it is only for 6+ months. She had one int monterey when she was tiny tiny that was a solid plastic one that fit on the Kitchen sink and would hold tiny babies and Toddlers up to 18 months.
