 | Fisher-Price Baby Papasan Infant Seat - Natural
My son loved this from Day 1. For the first few months, he would take naps in it. After that, we primarily used it in the bathroom (he would sit there while I showered) or to watch a video.

|
 | Yo Gabba Gabba!: The Dancey Dance Bunch
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.99 The hype is true. My baby saw a Yo Gabba Gabba episode for the first time when he was just shy of three months old. He was FASCINATED. I am not comfortable with him watching lots of TV, but the occasional half-hour of Yo Gabba Gabba entertains him while I get some things done.

 | Swann IP-3G Connectcam 1000

I really like Pampers Swaddlers. They are softer than others I've tried.
|
 | Boppy Bare Naked Pillow
Buy new: $27.99 I still use the Boppy at feeding times. In the first few months, I did not use a cover, because I was nursing and would end up with milk all over the cover anyway. Instead, I draped a regular bath towel over the Boppy. After I switched to pumping and bottle feeding, we started using a soft Boppy cover.
|

|

Buy new: $32.99 / Used from: $31.55 The best feature of this monitor is that it has a voice-activated feature. So instead of listening to every little noise (including white noise or music) in your baby's room, this one only alerts you if your baby makes a noise.
