baby things

Both my sister-in-law and cousin (in law) are expecting baby girls in a few months.  As I started looking at their registries, I started thinking about what I used the most with Lucia. 

What I used the most:
NEWBORN:
- baby wash cloths
- baby shampoo
- baby lotion
- onesies
- baby tub (occassionally used this, but it was nice to have when I didn't give her a bath with me)
- snuggle nest (she slept with us, right in the middle)
- waterproof pads (used these for changing her and giving her sponge baths in the beginning)
- flannel swaddling blankets
- diapers, diapers, diapers (loved the Pampers when she was little-later switched to Luvs when she got bigger)
- wipes
- Nipple cream (couldn't do without this.  I think Madela nipple cream goes on easier than Lansinoh.  I continue to use this now on sore noses during colds and scratches/abrasions)
-Aquaphor for diaper rash
- breast pads (once again, couldn't do without these.  I went through a lot of these.  I tried the cloth kind that you could wash but these weren't reliable enough.  I preferred the disposabals).
-I didn't have clothes that fit Luci when I brought her home from the hospital so I had to go out and buy a few newborn size outfits (Luci was 7lbs 5oz and 19 in. long)
- baby blankets
-monitors (we had Sony Sound-Sensory Nursery Monitor and LOVED THEM)
- travel system stroller
- breast pump (THANKS REBECCA! Couldn't do without this.  We had trouble breastfeeding in the beginning and this helped keep my milk flowing.  I also used this daily once I returned to work)
- rocking chair
- bibs
- Boppy (especially useful for breastfeeding and propping her up once she got older)
- camera :)

As she got bigger...
- jumpy thing that hangs in the door frame
- exersaucer
- pack and play
- baby bottles
- nipples
- bumbo chair
- high chair

Items we didn't use much...
- Her crib (she never really used it b/c we prefer co-sleeping)
- changing pad (we never got a changing table either)
- bottle warmer
- wipe warmer
