What have you bought for LO you couldn't live without?
I was thinking about this and all the "optional" things we've bought for LO. Some things have never been used but others I really couldn't be without. I thought maybe we could start a list to also post on the pregnant forum to share our experiences!??
I wouldn't be without my...
Sangenic Nappy Wrapper
Maxi Cosi Easy Base / Family Fix Base
Fisher Price Jumperoo
Microwave Steriliser
A buggy which fits with the Maxi Cosi car seat (In my case a Quinny Buzz)
Liz and Emilie 17 weeks

Cloth nappies (bumgenius pocket nappies) - so easy to use, no landfill, look cute, cheaper than disposables AND we've had far fewer leaks with them from explosive poo!
Just got an Amber teething necklace and so far it seems to be working for him
Reading over that I sound like a right auld hippy!
Also the jumperoo and a book called "hiccup the Viking" - I've sung myself hoarse doing the Viking song but it always cheers him up if he's having a grump!
*angel nappy wrapper
*fisherprice jumperoo
*baby sleeping bags
*teddy blankets (the stuffed toys holding blanket)
*dettol hand gel (there's never anywhere to wash hands properly in baby change places round here!)
*muslins (my lo likes to use hers as a blanket when she's too hot for an actual one)
*cot mobile & gloworm (or anything that has flashy lights or plays music in general)
babies r us snuggle wrap (we used it instead of a snowsuit in the winter, went in carseat and also in pram as velcro meant bubba was almost swaddled which he loved)
bouncy chair which lays flat so used from the start with a sheepskin liner
Jumperoo-used from 12 weeks and he loves it
Tommee tippee ultimate sensor monitor (he is a tummy sleeper so puts my mind at rest)

-my angel nappy wrapper
-muslin squares
-m&p swing
-gro bags
-her pink toy rabbit that she has to hug for sleep
muslins
dribble bibs
sleeping bags
tots bots bamboozle stretchies nappies
ring sling
and of course jumperoo
For me, it's our Angelcare monitor with movement sensor pad - so reassuring.
I love our pram (M&P Pliko Pramette), as baby girl was so small she's still fitting with room in the pram and sleeps in it downstairs during the day, handy that the car seat clips onto it and will see her through to pushchair stage. Glad we're happy with the choice, it took us long enough to decide!

Adam *loves* sitting in there, splashing away! I don't know what we're going to do when he outgrows it!
When can LOs start using the jumperoo? I'm planning on getting one as soon as we move house and have a bit more room!
