1. Play Mat - Peanut spends hours a day playing on this mat! It's super handy because it collapses down and can travel well and is also light weight so I can move it from room to room while carrying my daughter. It is also handy to have removable toys so we can change them around to add variety. 
2. Burp Cloths - These are the BEST! They are the perfect size and shape to fit on your shoulder. Super convenient for those up-chuck moments.
3. The Jumperoo - Peanut is still super duper little - weighing in at 12 lbs but she is super strong and I decided to try out the jumperoo about 3 weeks ago and she totally loved it. I put a pillow under her feet and stuffed the sides with blankets which does the trick. She can spend up to 30 minutes at a time in it tinkering around independently.
4. Probiotics - We started on BioGaia (found at Costco at the pharmacy counter) after my lactation consultant recommended it for peanuts gas pains when she was 8 weeks old. I have noticed a huge improvement and will continue to give it to her daily for the long haul. You can give 1-5 drops daily but I've found 2 drops daily do the trick for her.
5. Wrist Rattles - A God sent! We strap these on peanut when we go in the car or when we are doing errands. She chews on them and checks them out. She isn't into her feet yet but once she is we will be using the sock style toys as well.
6. HoMedic Sound Spa Noise Machine - We were away at a cottage with 4 other children under 4 and found the noise machine completely blocked out all of the night time noise. We didn't even hear the baby in the room beneath our room cry in the night. The one we found is from Bed, Bath & Beyond and has 6 different sounds and can either stay on all night or shut off after 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Worth the $30 for sure. We use it every night.Items that were on the previous list that are still can't live without you items;
1. Halo Swaddle Sleep sack
2. U shaped pillow
3. Two Camera Video Monitor
4. Natural Baby Wipes
