@pachamama: A&A Blankets are the best thing around. They can be a swaddle, a place to lay baby down for tummy time, a burp cloth, a nursing cover, a lovey when baby is older. They rule.

Rock n Play
Swing
Boppy (for tummy time/propping)

For my son we could not have lived without our exercise ball - bounced him ALL.DAY.LONG or he screamed - but we never even used it once with my (much more content) daughter.

- Video monitor
- Mam pacifiers
- Sound machine (small house - blocks out the noise of my dog and tv)
- Halo swaddle sacks
- Baby carrier

I liked our A&A blankets, but I can live without them too. They're nice to have but I feel like I didn't use them as often as everyone made it seem like I would.

Boppy/My Brest Friend (I like both for different reasons)

Swaddles (I bought sooo many and ended up using the simple velcro swaddles)

Burp clothes (I love A&A ones.. big, absorbent and can wear it like a bib too)

White nose machine (I have this one http://amzn.com/B0091E31KM)

Nose Frida

Nipple cream (earth mama angel baby fan too.. Or anything NOT lanolin... that worked but it's so sticky!)

K'Tan or Moby or any soft wrap like carrier for newborn days, then more structured ones like Ergo for later

My brest friend pillow
Baby carrier (i loved the Beco Gemini, but there are plenty to choose from)
Baby swing
Stroller (big basket preferred)
clothing that is easy to nurse in public in

I can't say the A&A blankets were a must have for me as I didn't get them for almost a year, but even at that age, they were amazing and i wished i had them from birth (as I will LO2)...but i did manage to survive without them.

Monitor
Swaddle Me and then Sleep Sacks
Bibs, bibs, and more bibs
Nose Freida
K'tan

@snowjewelz: Yes-I have both nursing pillows and like them for different reasons!
@birdofafeather: Yep-my son broke out of A&A blankets quite easily, so those Halo swaddles were life savers!
@hilsy85: Mother Love Cream-I give it to all my friends who are expecting! It's the best out there.

I guess we need to give the Nose Frida another go in the (hopefully distant) future! My son's only been sick once in his life and we found the blue bulb way more effective, but so many of you recommended it!

For newborn days....
1. Video monitor
2. Motherlove nipple cream
3. Snuggabunny swing (a lifesaver, however she didn't actually like this until 6 weeks old)
4. Rock and play
5. Baby carrier (we had a k'tan and an ergo with infant insert)
Also: Halo swaddles, burp clothes, stroller

With N:
1. Wubbanubs
2. Medela nipple cream
3. Swing
4. Pump
5. white noise machine

With E:
1. A&A silk loveys
2. Nipple cream
3. White noise machine
4. Baby carrier.
5. Tami tanks from old navy

1. Halo Easy Swaddle Sleepsacks- life saver. Bought them when she was 2 days old, and nothing worked. She likes her arms out!

2. Fisher Price Snugabear Swing- We received the mamaroo off our registry, and it doesn't swing. It has five almost all the same settings. No, my LO wants to swing! They come in many different designs, but man do they work. We now have one at our house, and one at my parent's house.

3. Burp cloths- I didn't register for them. Figured I didn't need them for a while. Babies spit up, and drool a lot. And mine has acid reflux, so she projectile vomits. We keep them any and everywhere. Stroller, couch, nursery, car, etc...

4. Aiden and Anais swaddle blankets- I didn't know what all the fuss was, as they're really large pieces of thin fabric. But, they work great as stroller covers, burp cloths, changing pad in a pinch, etc.. We actually never use ours to swaddle

5. A good stroller- I purchased the uppa baby Cruz, and have already put some miles on it. LO isn't even 11 weeks yet! Screaming baby+Stoller+Outside noise= Sanity saver. A smooth ride, easy to push, and durability. Plus, I love that she can face me.

6. Wubbanub Pacifiers- I registered for and received two of these. I am so glad I did. Pacifiers are so easy to lose. These have a soft plush animal attached to them, so it's easy to find. Plus, LO can kind of put it back in his or her mouth easier, and mine enjoys massaging the animal as kind of self-soothing!

7. Sleepers- When LO was mere days old we were not dressing her up in outfits. Sleepers all day long. Easy zip up and down are our favorites, but we did get some button down styles as well. I didn't register for any, and wish I had. My mom had purchased some 0-3 months, but DH had to go out and buy a bunch of newborn.

1. Boba wrap (I use a Tula now that she's bigger but the wrap was excellent for newborn days.)
2. Bjorn babysitter bouncer
3. The peri bottle they give you at the hospital- I use it for diaper changes.
4. California baby and earth mama angel baby diaper creams/balms.
5. Huge stacks of burp cloths scattered about the house.

I agree with those who mentioned the exercise ball, I spent a lot of time bouncing my newborn on that thing, luckily I already had one and used it a ton in the last weeks of pregnancy too.

Tons of burp cloths
Swaddle stuff (blankets, SwaddleMe, Halo)

I don't think we would have survived without her bouncy chair. That's hands down #1.
