So Much Baby Gear, So Little Time

Our first trip to Babies R Us was meant to be a fact-finding mission, purely to pick up baby-related intel. And it was, I even took notes (Yes, I'm that girl). But it also proved what the Hubs and I already felt might be true...we don't have a damn clue about baby stuff!!! Sure, I've spent my fair share supplying my friends' kids with the cutest books, puzzles, and outfits (even a baby-sized pair of Reefs - still my favorite!), but I've never had to think about gliders, cribs, car seats, strollers, and baby monitors. So much is necessary and so much is, well, total crap! A baby wipe warmer? Please. We live in south Florida. The Baby Tuna's tiny hiney will be grateful for the refreshing coolness of an unwarmed baby wipe.

So, we are asking all of our friends who are mommies (and daddies) out there: What baby paraphernalia would you recommend? What were the best brands, what did you feel you couldn't live without, and what was the first item in the "yard sale" pile? 

Please comment below, or on Facebook...we need all the help we can get!!!
