@ChiCalGoBee: yes to the babysitter! i've lent mine to 3 other friends and they all couldn't live without it! one actually bought us a new one and kept the one we lent them! ha.

For newborn days:
-Pack n play with bassinet and changing table attachments (kept in our room and she slept in that for almost 6 months-- also why a baby monitor is not on this list, although it would be for 6+ mo).
-Halo Swaddlsacks
-Changing pads (these ones-- I kept one rolled up in a caddy with diapers and carried it around the house with us the first few months so I could change her diaper anywhere and not worry about her peeing everywhere- http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Count-Waterproof-Changing-Liners/dp/B009UPUJIY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438998276&sr=8-2&keywords=changing+pads)
- moby wrap (that is what I used for newborn days, although now I use a ring sling and I think if I had another kid I might just use that). Its the only way to do anything with 2 hands and a fussy newborn.
- netflix. Watched soo many series the first 2 mo while nursing around the clock!

@pachamama:

In the early days
Bobby Newborn lounger (not the nursing pillow)
Rock n play
A&A muslin blankets (not bamboo too slippery)
We had nursing issues (obviously not planning on that) so having my pump and bottles bought, cleaned and ready to go was so important.
My breast friend nursing pillow.

Now that she's 5 months
A great stroller- We have the city mini GT
The Ergo, I used the k'tan a lot in the beginning but now that she's 15 lbs not so much
A good diaper bag- I have a skip hop one- I was just using a Baggu Duck bag which was great until I figured out what I needed from a bag. I'm happy I waited.

Also: Gillian O'Malley Nursing tanks, I have like 10 now.

-rock n play
-woombie
-breast pump
-beco Gemini
-pack n play

The beco and pack n play have gotten the most use though.

I think mine have all been mentioned before!

-baby bjorn bouncer (I would put my son in it until he was 11 months old when I showered)
-Motorola video monitor
-A&A swaddles
-ergo/tula
-UppaBaby vista (my newborn is currently sleeping in the basinet, I love that the seat can face me)

Bob stroller!
Baby Bjorn travel crib!
A & A swaddles!
White noise machine!
iPhone for Mama when bf-ing!

@pachamama: check out Hudson Baby swaddles too. On Amazon many reviews compare them to A&A.

1.) Marpac Dohm - both girls have one and we still use it in the 2.5 year old's room every nap/night
2.) Video Monitor - how do people live without a visual of their kid?
3.) Medela Freestyle to pump on the go
4.) Boppy (this should have been #1!)
5.) A stroller with the car seat adapters for infants. We have the UBV but I never had DH put the adapters on for DD1, I would transfer her from her carseat and just use the stroller seat. For DD2, he put them on and it is like night and day! I am a moron for not doing that with LO1!

1 - Gia nursing pillow
2 - Pump & extra parts (Hygeia Enjoy for regular use, Spectra 9 if I need something more portable)
3 - Rumina nurse/pump bras and tanks (means I save a lot of time not completely stripping off at work)
4 - Leachco podster
5 - Newborn napper that came with our Pack-n-Play (it is really just the Graco branded version of the rock n play)

Honorable mentions for
- A white noise machine (though mty phone works ok and if I could figure out what I'd done with my old ipod touch that would be better than either).
- Swing
- Really large fold-up change mat
- Baby-safe mirror

1- Motorola video monitor
2- my breast friend nursing pillow
3- lulujo muslin blankets (I prefer over a&a and they are cheaper.. Bonus if they are bamboo )
4- bouncer seat/swing... Don't necessarily need both
5- pack and play for our room since we have babies sleep with us until 4-6 months and then it's amazing for containing them when they are mobile and you need to pee!

Hmmm. I had to really think about this one! Here's what I used a lot of for the early days:

1. Bjorn bouncer (or any lightweight bouncer)--something that is easy to tote around and place your baby in for hanging out or naps.

2. Summer Infant Snuzzler Support -- I put this in her bouncer and her big girl stroller. It was so cozy and kept her snug.

3. Kimono shirts -- she lived in these for the newborn phase. No pants. One less thing to hassle with when you're changing the diapers all the time and I liked not having to pull something over her floppy head.

4. Swaddle Designs flannel blankets -- huge blankets that have a little more stick to them and are forgiving in the swaddling department. Good for my winter baby.

5. Cheater swaddles, like the Halo sleepsack.

6. (cheater, I know) Some baby carrier -- it really comes down to preference for both you and baby, but it was crucial for the witching hour and getting around. The Moby was hot and would pick up dog fur from our floor, so I would look to a different wrap for next time.

Other things I like, now that I'm on a roll--
Avent Soothies--saved my nipples. May try MAM next time b/c I read they're lighter and easier to keep in.
Cloth diapers for burp cloths--buy at least 12 and stash around your house for!
Medela nipple cream (spreads easily)
Grovia diaper stick (nice not to mess up your hands and love the smell)
Aquaphor in the big tub for both the bum and face.
Rock n' Play--I resisted it for awhile b/c I read so many stories of people transitioning their babies from it to the crib and it sounded horrible, but resistance was futile--she loved it and it was easy to move around and get right next to my bed.

And I recommend getting a journal of some kind to jot down a line a day. You will forget things and I love looking back to remember that first smile, laugh, and more. Lots of blank pages and I wish I had been more dedicated early on.

1. Rock n play
2. video monitor (Motorola)
