1. Gripe water is by far the best for hiccups! I have only tried the Mommy's Bliss Brand because I had a family member say it worked for them too! This stuff works instantly and very effective, my daughter is only 2 months old and we have went through bottles of this stuff already. I recently tried the nighttime version as well, it works wonders too!

2. Pampers Swaddlers is the best diapers from my experience! We got a lot of different brands from my baby shower and we were not happy with any diapers but pampers! I have not tried the original pampers diapers. The hospital also gave us a small amount of diapers and they were also the saddlers.

3. Wipe warmer is seriously the best for a baby that hates to be changed! My daughter was one of those baby's until the last few weeks! She would cry and cry when you changed her diaper but sometimes the warmth from the wipes would calm her down from the cold air hitting her bottom. You can tell when you are away from home and don't have your wipe warmer. The babies love to stay warm and this helps keep them warm from the cold air.

4. Diaper Genie is awesome! I truly didn't think it would be a must have! I just thought "it's just a stinky diaper, I'll get used to the smell", honey was I was WRONG! Baby poop STINKS like no other smell on earth. The diaper genie helps so much with the smell! When we walk into baby girl's room you can't even smell the dirty diapers!

5. Deluxe pack 'n play is the most used item we have for baby P. This was the very first item that I got and was super excited about it! I got the Graco Pack 'n Play Quick Connect with the portable bouncer. This pack 'n play includes a bassinet, changing table, portable bouncer, a set of baskets to hang on the side (for diapers, wipes, etc) and of course the play area at the bottom. I originally got this item for the bassinet, I also knew I would be traveling to grandparents houses often. This item makes it SUPER easy to pack up everything I need for baby P.

6. Maturity pillow is God sent y'all! I used it very early in my pregnancy and still continue to use it everyday and night. During the day I used it to prop baby P on, I make it into a circle and cover it with a blanket and she sets down in the hole. I love doing this with her during the day so she can sit up on the couch with me and I know she can't roll off! she's safely down in the bottom and she loves it. I also still use for me every night, I have always had back issues before my pregnancy so baby P was not kind to my back either. If your pregnant and can't sleep comfortably this will help you tremendously!

7. The bottle sanitizer was something I wanted but waited until after baby P was born to go get. I didn't think it was one of those "have to have" but it was! I was so worried that I wasn't getting her bottles clean enough! I have the bottle cleaner bushes but it still wasn't doing it for me so I had to go buy one! I got the munchkin brand one, this one you pair water into and place the pieces of the bottles into the rack and stick it in the microwave, super easy, super fast and super clean!

8. The bouncer is something we seriously couldn't live without! This one came with my pack 'n play and it has not been connected to the pack 'n play since baby P has arrived. We constantly use it when we need a brake from holding her, or have something to do ourselves. Ours has two different vibrating modes on it, fast and slow, Baby P loves this and will stay in it all day.

9. Dr. Browns bottles have done so good with baby P! We only tried one other brand and that was because it was a free bottle to try. From day one using bottles she has taken Dr. Browns. The vent system works wonders! They only have 6 parts and are all super easy to clean. The bottles say you can use them without the vents, but they have done so good with keeping air off her belly I haven't even attempted.

10. Aquaphor is another product I didn't purchase until baby P's arrival. She had diaper rash from changing to all the different brands and just changing her diaper again and again. She also has a little big of baby acne. Aquaphor has worked wonders for both issues! I had read that nothing can really help baby acne but this kept her face very moisturized!
