The ubiquitous “best baby products” list

• Tweet

I just have to do it. I googled my way through the nine months of preparation trying to find out what I would REALLY need for this adventure. Well, six weeks in, here are the most appreciated items:

1. Baby sling. I promise it’s not because of the high celebrity usage. This thing is like an anti-crying sleeping pill with a stamp that says “good for baby.” Plus, you can do productive things while wearing it…like checking Facebook or playing the Wii.
2. Waterproof pads. Just assume the diaper is going to leak and put these things everywhere.
3. Boppy pillow. Swallow your pride and call it by its real name. Just not in public.
4. Swaddling blankets. The blanket version of the velcro shoe. Added bonus: makes your baby look like a little burrito.
5. Nursing tank tops. You’ll see.
6. The vibrating bouncer!

More details on these later.
