My son sat in it all the time, and I loved how light it was and easy to transport. It folds flat, so we would take it everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131676 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 00:32:16 +0000 HLK208 2131676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS - the swing but I only borrowed one from a friend when he was 4 months and it was too late by that time! He used it for maybe a few weeks</p> <p>DD1 - the baby carrier, she loved being next to me all day</p> <p>DD2 - jumperoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131675 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 00:24:43 +0000 Emsmems 2131675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moby wrap, exercise ball, and a white noise app on my phone. Combine the 3 and I could USUALLY get my colicky baby to sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131638 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 22:36:53 +0000 coopsmama 2131638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS it was the bouncy seat. He lived in that thing! We never used it for DD -- she was a swing girl through and through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131628 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 22:30:41 +0000 shopaholic 2131628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ahh! I forgot about that! We used my yoga ball to bounce her to sleep/calm her down soooo many hours. She did not like the swing. :( Second lifesaver was the Baby K'tan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131576 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:38:44 +0000 Grace 2131576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ergo because it was the only way to guarantee a decent afternoon nap. And exercise ball because it was the only way to get her to stop crying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131529 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2131529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise ball, hands down.

Her mobile was up there. By 6 weeks, she would lay there and stare at it. Also her crib mirror. IT has paid itself off numerous times over with AM entertainment so we could sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131451 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:15:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2131451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: Velcro swaddles is a good call too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131449 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:14:33 +0000 SweetiePie 2131449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: that's a great idea! I have one at my apt, at my parents and at my inlaws. He's too big for it now, but the handful of times we needed it in those places it was priceless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131446 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:13:36 +0000 SweetiePie 2131446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rock n play, fo sho. We didn't discover it until 6 weeks in and it was a life changer.<br /> Also...Dr Brown's formula pitcher! It sounds so silly but I have 2 of them and it has made it all so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131438 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:09:38 +0000 Mae 2131438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pack n play with bassinet and changing table attachments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131435 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:08:13 +0000 charlotte 2131435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rock n play.

It was her happy place for a while. I forgot about that! </p> <p>The yoga/ exercise ball that we had way before pregnancy was probably our mvp of infancy. We spend so many hours bouncing on it. Close follow up is the moby. Most hours not spent on the ball were in the Moby I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131235 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:42:38 +0000 Peasinapod 2131235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her A&amp;A swaddle. I Did not use it for nighttime, but if she was fussy during the day I'd wrap her up and cuddle her and she would calm right down. Did not work with other blankets for some reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131230 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:41:43 +0000 Mamasig 2131230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rock n play - best invention ever </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-favorite-piece-of-gear#post-2131219 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:35:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 2131219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for infancy?</p> <p>mine for DD1 was probably her swing. she loved it.<br /> for DD2, she likes the swing but she really, really likes her changing table.
