I di...Well, I come from an earlier generation...<BR/><BR/>1. I didn't have a Boppy, but I would have had there been such a thing way back then...I've purchased sevaral as gifts.<BR/><BR/>2. My favorite was the bouncy seat... metal frame with a quilted fabric "sling" seat... mine didn't vibrate ( not sure batteries had been invented yet!), but I would put Ben, Griff, and Natalie in it on the dryer... voila!! A vibrating bouncy chair!!!<BR/><BR/>3. A&D ointment... still keep it in my medicine cabinet.<BR/><BR/>4. I had a baby bathtub that fit on the top edges of a regular tub so that I didn't have to bend over and into the tub to give baths! My back loved it!!<BR/><BR/>5. I made TWO "lovey" blankets that were small and easily carried without being dragged... they were identical so that if one got left at Grandma's, bedtime wasn't a disaster... AND I could actaully wash one while the other was being used... no distraught babies for me!!<BR/><BR/>I agree with Erin... don't register for toys... I was very picky about what my little ones played with...<BR/><BR/>I'm sure other things will come to mind..Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08052790881278007875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113889211442441009.post-41590240030008193992008-08-27T03:22:00.000-04:002008-08-27T03:22:00.000-04:00These are ten things that I use every single day--...These are ten things that I use every single day--or did in the first weeks and months (besides the obvious things like carseats and a baby bathtub--which you can only use for a little while, but they are nice because your slippery baby can't get away from you!). I will let you know if I think of anything else.<BR/>1. A Boppy!! My husband uses it, too. I thought it was sorta dumb and that I wouldn't use it, but I use it ALL the time.<BR/>2. A vibrating bouncy chair. Sometimes, it's the only thing that will soothe.<BR/>3. Lansinoh nipple ointment.<BR/>4. Gel pads for sore nipples (!!!).<BR/>5. A Glo-Worm. She LOVES it.<BR/>6. A CD player in baby's room to play a soothing lullaby CD for nap and bedtime. Play the same one every time so baby knows it's bedtime.<BR/>7. Two hooded bath towels.<BR/>8. Lavender Johnson's baby wash. (Good for Baby AND Mommy's nerves!)<BR/>9. Pacifier clips.<BR/>10. Cloth diapers to use as urp rags.<BR/><BR/>Unless there is something special that you want, I wouldn't recommend registering for toys. You will get plenty whether you ask for them or not!erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796969550236321277noreply@blogger.com
