As a new mom I get so excited when I find products that work well for my daughter... I practically wnat to scream them out to other moms in need... So maybe we can start a list of our "Favorites" things that really work for our babies to give other moms a heads up! If you also have info on where to get these items, that would be helpful too....

My son will be five months on Sunday, and I haven't come across many lifesavers (but I'm still new at this). I do like his swing, the Dr. Brown's bottles (although we are starting to get away from those because there are so many parts! But they do alleviate gas and spit up). I do see a few things you all have mentioned that I wouldn't mind trying. :)

1. Nap Nanny- (It was a miracle went from up every 2 hours to sleeping 8 hours straight the first night in it. Needless to say I LOVE IT)

2 Evenflow Exersaucer (my son's favorite thing in the whole world. He laughs so hard at all the toys. And its how I get to eat dinner with my DH. I set him in it by the table and DH and I get at least 30 minutes to eat)

3. Bumbo

4 The Wheels on the Bus book by Paul Zelinsky - It is the wheels on the bus song each page has one of the verses and has movable parts. Wheels that go round, doors that open shut etc. My son loves this book. Starts laughing the second he sees it.

Hmmmm, I'd have to say my absolute favorite to date would be Elijah's 'LeapFrog Learn and Groove music table'. He loves this thing.

Another top fave is the 'Nosefrida' (snot sucker...LOL). My son was constantly full of snot due to colds over the winter, and the bulb syringe wasn't doing the trick. http://www.nosefrida.com/

I just got my nap nanny and Madelyn is already sleeping in it! I hope it works as good for her as the other mom's report.

I also god the aiden something swaddling blanket mentioned and it is super huge! I haven't used it yet but I'm excited to see if she can't get out of it at night.

I also love Carters onenies cause they're soft and fit right.
