#9 - Rockabye Baby! CDs

You want appropriate music for your baby, but you don’t want to stop listening to your favorite bands? I have just the compromise: the Rockabye Baby CDs with lullaby renditions of baby’s favorite rock bands. The Beatles, Prince, Coldplay and U2 are just some of the artists covered. You can go to the website to order CDs, or you can buy individual songs off iTunes. (Credit: rockabyebabymusic.com)

#8 - Sandra Boynton Books

There are so many great children’s authors, but for babies and toddlers I just love Sandra Boynton board books. Someone gave us the Belly Button Book when our son lost his umbilical cord, and we’ve been hooked ever since. The Going To Bed Book, Moo Baa La La La, and Snuggle Puppy are just some of the books we STILL read. And now that my son is 3, her books are easy for him to memorize and read back to us.

#7 - BabyLegs – Baby Leg Warmers

Trust me, they’re great – especially on a cool fall/winter day when you’re not leaving the house, and you want your baby in more than a onesie. They come in cute patterns, too! (Credit: babylegs.com)

#6 - “I Was Worth The Wait” Onesie

For anyone who struggled to have kids like we did, your baby will melt your heart in this onesie. (Credit: uncommongoods.com)

#5 - Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Cradle Swing

This swing was a life-saver for me when I needed to put a fussy baby down for 10 minutes to do laundry, get dinner ready, etc.. I can’t wait to use it for baby #2! (Credit: fisher-price.com)

#4 - Chewbeads Jane Necklace

For the mom who still wants to look stylish and wear jewelry once the baby’s born, but worries about their baby putting the jewelry in their mouth. Here’s a necklace that your child is SUPPOSED to chew on! (Credit: chewbeads.com)

#3 - Kicky Pants Pajamas

Again, the bamboo cotton is the softest material on earth! They’re the only pjs my son wants to wear. (Credit: kickypants.com)

#2 - Motorola Video Baby Monitor

I used a monitor the first time without a video camera. This one not only shows you what your baby’s doing, but gives you the temperature of your baby’s room! (Credit: motorola.com)

#1 - aden + anais Bamboo Muslin Swaddles

These are the best, softest swaddling blankets…you’ll wish they made them for adults! (Credit: cottonbabies.com)
