Not a single complaint about this infant bath tub--which says a lot! It worked from 0-8 months.
As soon as Aden hit ~5 months old he thought this rainforest gym was the best thing ever!

I truly could not have survived Aden's first months without this wrap carrier.

I'm a big fan of this unique swaddle transition product, Zipadee-Zip.
Read my post about it.
...definite must haves!
We loved our newborn lounger! It was the only place Aden would let us put him down. (But remember, not safe for sleep).
This (super cheap) giant sponge is the absolute greatest. Pop it on top of any bath tub.
This is a great option for a bassinet. We used it until Aden was 4 months old.
This entire outfit head to toe was purchased on Amazon (for cheap!)... Links: hat, romper, bandana bib, booties.
