I would have to say my pregnancy body pillow! It certainly helped with my hips and knees, and I appreciated it even more the further I got into my pregnancies.

I couldn't live without a baby swing.  My son loves this so much.  

After seeing the past posts about the Burt Bee's Baby line, I need to give this a try too.  

Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway.

"What to Expect when you're Expecting".  I had a pregnancy full of little scares.  Each time something scary came up, I was able to grab the book, read about it, and feel a little better.  Since my daughter is still only 5 months old, I still grab the book for every rash and every sniffle.  I truly couldn't live without it!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I desperately need my very own baby blanket! My husband gave me a super soft microfiber blanket for naps for our anniversary this year (the traditional gift is cotton, a blanket comes pretty close). Its been at my side ever since, but I can't wait to share it with our baby daughter when she comes in December!

my boppy!  I ebf and my daughter and I use this pillow a lot!  It gets her in just the right spot so I don't have to hold her...so nice for tired arms.  Other gear comes and goes, and there have been some essentials like our bouncy chairs and exersaucer each month, but the boppy is here to stay!

Extra Strength Tylenol!!!  I started having hip pain really early in the pregnancy, knee and shoulders started later...plus round ligament and other things...  I don't think I could have gotten through some days without Tylenol.

Bouncy seat! We have used it from day one and our son loves it! It is handy for littlest ones since they can't sit up yet.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I could have not survived the first 3 months without my hotsling. It was a life saver. When my little girl was fussy and overtired all I had to do was pop her into it and take a walk. She would fall asleep in no time. Now that my little one is bigger and can hold her head up I can us it as a hip carry and still get things done around the house while holding her.

I could not live with out my husband! He is so good to me. So far during my pregnancy with twins I could lay down and let the house fall in around me!He takes care of everything when I'm not feeling well.

I absolutely love my Bobby pillow.  I use it at every feeding, to hold my little boy, to put him to sleep, he sits in it, he lays on his tummy on it, my husband even loves it for holding him!  I would be in so much back pain without it!!

I was so grateful for the Halo sleep sack for my son. He was a winter baby, and I never worried about him kicking off the covers at night. I recommend it to everyone!

I love the Bella Band!  Great so I won't have to buy so many maternity pants, I can still wear my own!  (I know just one, but I just got my Snoogle Deluxe delivered yesterday, and it was my first (almost) full night's sleep since I have been pregnant!... only woke up once last night!)

I love my Moby wrap.  It is the perfect way to soothe my baby as well as give my arms some freedom.  I use it when she is cranky as well as when I am grocery shopping.  Becuase of the way it is put together - I could use itwith her within a couple weeks of her being born.  I highly recommend it to anyone whose baby demands to be carried.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

My #1 go to product, is baby wipes! They are great to use for all sorts of messes. Which are bound to happen with a little one around. I use them not only for diaper changes, but to clean off the stroller, car seat, messy hands, spots on clothes. It's a quick temporary help, but that's what's need when your out and about or don't have time!

Posted by nnrose    Thursday, September 25, 2008 8:08 PM


re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

For Pregnancy-Burt's Bee's Belly Butter. I loved the smell. And a New matress. It saved my back the third trimester

For Baby- The Diaper Duck from Munchkin. It seems every time we leave the house there is a explosive poop that gets everywhere. I can put the diaper and dirty clothes into the bags and it keeps my diaper bag clean. I love them! And My Bobby Pillow. It's an essential item

Posted by jeremymalinda    Thursday, September 25, 2008 8:08 PM

Definitely my Bella Band! That thing has been such a help in keeping me in more of my clothes longer, and I'm sure I'll use it once the baby's born to "squeeze" back in sooner...!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

Wow, so many to choose from! For pregnancy it was my Recliner! I had terrible swelling from 5 months on so it was a must have... also the bella band which made my belly much much more comfortable. As far as baby gear, I'd have to go with the Rainforest swing! My daughter napped in it until she was 6 months old! Then there is the boppy, which at 12 months old my daughter LOVES to lay on :) It was a nice thing to have when we were getting used to breastfeeding! (I'm totally ready to have the next baby now!)

Posted by Heatherann2884    Thursday, September 25, 2008 9:54 PM


re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I know it's not really a product, but... my husband.  Since I went back to work when Abby was 2 months old he and I have worked rotating schedules so we don't have to pay for child care.  This means he works from 6am to 2pm and then takes care of Abby and our 6 year-old son Gabe until I get home at 930pm.  Gabe has autism so it's not that easy for him to tackle both kids together, but he does it.

I fell in love with my Boppy Infant Lounger. It gave my arms a rest when I needed it. It provided a safe napping cushion for my little guy. And an unexpected plus....when he has a cold and is congested, I use the lounger as his pillow and it elevates his head just enough that he can breathe and sleep comfortably.

A simple pillow for sleeping at night and laying down i cant afford a body pillow but they sound like they are great it would help with my waking up every few hours because the pillow moved away from me so i have to slide it back under the tummy and between the knees and fall asleep again i dont think i could sleep without some sort of pillow or something helping me through the night!!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

My "What To Expect The First Year" book, the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumper, and my Honey Bee Boppy Pillow. My son absolutely loves his jumper and now that he's 7 months he loves to use the pillow as his own! As for the book....it's my bible right now. I like to read up just before he hits a new month so I know what to look for and expect. It's great!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I would have to say the best pregnancy product I have used so far is thenestbaby website.  It has answered so many of my questions and calmed my fears.  Plus it has great suggestions and advice - I think I might be lost without it.  The second best product would haveto be my What to Expect When your Expecting book - so when I can't get to the website I have a back up :)

What to Expect when Expecting and the bump talk boards to be able to ask questions of other expectant mothers or mothers already.

My boppy pillow for sure!  It's so great for nursing.  And, honestly, thenest.com has been awesome!!  I lived on the Babies on the Brain board while I was pregnant and now I'm always on the Parenting board.  I think it's great to be able to learn things from other moms!

The Nest Baby...I love to listen to what the other women have to say and see how it relates to me.  It was so nice during pregnancy to have the support and see that other women were experiencing the same things.

My bumbo seat. We use our's so much at home we had to get one for DH's office. It is wonderful for the bath DS does not like a regular bath. we stick it in the shower with us and give him his bath in his seat and he can stay in the shower with us, it creates a suction to the bath tub and does not move even when DS wiggles around.

I could not live without the Glow Worm.  My baby got one when he was 2 months old and I've never seen a bigger smile.  He was completely mesmerized by the light up face and calming melody.  Whenever he is upset it's Glow Worm that immediately calms him down - the crying stops!  He's now about to turn one year and Glow Worm still does it for him.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

Definitely the Boppy Noggin Nest Head Support!!  Don’t even bother with the those regular baby head supports!!  Babies are spending so much more time laying on their backs because of SIDS and this device relieves the pressure off of the back of his head .  We noticed our sons head was beginning to look a little bit flat in the back and that is when I discovered the Noggin Nest- it’s great because you can use it in the car seat, the swing, the stroller, the bouncer or just on the floor (FYI- it can NOT be used in the crib).  This is a must have for all babies!!

I wouldn't have made it through my daughter's first months without the baby swing. She was a fussy baby, but we were lucky enough to find something that made her happy. What a lifesaver! Now that baby girl #2 is on the way, I need to get it ready and hope that she loves it as much as my oldest daughter did.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

It's been 12 years since my last pregnancy and I couldn't even say what was a life saver back then (I was only 18 - my daughter's grandparents were the "things" I couldn't live without back then).  This time I will say there are TONS of new things out there for pregnancy and baby. I can't wait to outfit the baby with all the new gear.  I have to say that the thing I currently cannot live without are my Bella Bands. They hold up my baggy pants and also keep up my unbuttoned pre-prego pants that I insist on still trying to wriggle into. LIFE SAVER is not a strong enough word! My wardrobe (and wallet) would be in a much different state without them!! Thank you genious (women, I am sure) who came up with that!!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap was a lifesaver me!  I had gotten the PUPPP rash in my second trimester, and nothing the doctors were recommending was helping.  I turned to the internet to find hope, and saw that so many other pregnant women had used the Pine Tar Soap.  I found it at a natural products store and it worked amazing---allowed me to actually sleep, work, and even stop itching.  It was awesome to get advice from other women that had gone through the same thing, and to use something that was natural.  Every chance I get, I tell someone else that is in need of some relief to try to Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap.

Definately the wubbanub pacifiers.  These are my 3rd and 4th kids using them and I love that they have a stuffed animal and pacifier in one and that the babies are able to learn to put them in their mouths themselves early, they're cute and they don't roll and get lost easily

I have really found thebump.com, pregnancy.org, and other sites really helpful.

I actually have to say LINKS, Sassy links! They are the best little cheap thing you can buy. I attach one end to the stroller and the other end to a sippy cup, other links to toys etc so when we are out strolling and he Throws his cup or toys, They are always still attached to the stroller and I dont have to worry about constantly losing things.

I also love love love TRIPLE PASTE, you can not get enough protection on your babies bottoms!!

Also I love Lavendar scented oils, you can put a teeny tiny dabe on your babies chest or behind their ear and the scent is soothing and relaxing to them.

Definitely my peg perego high chair. The kids don't need to be strapped in because the plastic saddle horn thing-y between their legs keeps them in the seat. It reclines, has two sizes of trays and is cozy comfy. Love it.

Fit Pregnancy Magazine. I am a bit lost as a first time mom without my own mother to lean on (she passed away a few years ago) and the regular pregnancy books are overwhelming and a tad scary. The magazine complements the information I get from my doctor, always puts the topics forth in a warm upbeat way, and reminds me to focus on the joys of expectancy.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I could not live without the Fisher-Price Infant Seat to Toddler Rocker. I have twin boys and I would put them in the seats so I could feed them at the same time. I would face them towards me and sit on the floor and hold their  bottles and when one had to burp I would prop the bottle up for one and burb him, then switch. As they got older I could set them in there seats and they could hold the bottle on there own. When they wanted to play with their toys I would just atatch the toy bar and they would be entertained. It was also a helpful product to travel with and bring to grandmas so they would have a place to sleep or play. This was definatly the most useful product that I have used. It would of been a lot harder without it.

I couldn't live without my baby bottle/baby food warmer. I would set eeverythign up including bottle before I went to bed so when my son woke for his midnight feedings all I had to do was pour in the premeasured water drop in the bottle and push the button.Teh bottle was ready in seconds and warmewd evenly......everyone knows how dangerouse warming in the microwave is and boiling a pot of water takes to long.It also beats fumbling in the kitchen to make a bottle when your dead tired at 2:30 in the am. It also worked great with the baby food jars warming them evenly and within seconds. It's definetly on my baby registry list this time around!

For after baby i would have to say her bumbo seat, i know it sounds cliche however I couldn't carry DD everywhere and she would get sick of the swing and sick of laying down the bumbo put her into a whole new position and she loved it she got to see all around from a different perspective.  Since then every baby shower i have gone to DH and I buy a Bumbo as their present!!!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I am embarrassed to admit this, but the "Binky" has been my ultimate saver of sanity. Before I had children, I maintained that I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use a pacifier, because they were for "lazy mothers who don't want to parent their children." I was so offended by receiving one as a gift, that I promptly threw it into my junk drawer. Then after my first born threw her first never-ending cry fest in the grocery store, I went home, rummaged through the drawer, found it, and popped it in her mouth. Instant bliss. I now have three children, and our "Binkies" have saved us time and time again.

I'm only 7 weeks along, so right now I can't live without saltines and 12 hours of daily sleep! Product wise, I'd go with the classic What to Expect When You're Expecting.

My snoogle body pillow...absolutely the best purchase I have made. I can't sleep without it, and no matter how many times I get up in the middle of the night to pee...I still feel rested in the morning :) Also, "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy" book has given me many laughs and assured me I am not alone in many of my crazy pregnancy feelings and emotions!

For baby: I think the Sassy Teething feeders are amazing! Such a great relief for teething!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

The Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy book was a lifesavor for me.  As a first time Mom the book reassured me on a daily basis of my decisions for baby and about the changes my body experienced.  I have great respect for the Mayo Clinic and felt confident in their advice and directions!  I will give the book to any of my friends in the future as soon as I hear they are pregnant!

Bumbo Seat!!! I loved my bumbo seat. 11 years ago after the birth of my first daughter, I would prop her up with pillows to view the world around her! When I had my new baby in 2007 wow have baby items changed! I would put my daughter in the bumbo while I cooked dinner and she loved the change of pace & being able to sit upright and look around. We used it daily!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

The product I absolutely LOVE the most is my daughter's Bumbo chair.  It's light and portable and she loves sitting in it.  I actually have two of them now.  I use one to give her a bath in the big tub and the other I use to feed her in or she can just sit in it and play with toys attached to the tray.  We bring it everywhere with us.  We don't leave home without it, LOL!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

we were blesses with one of those babies who is a great sleeper during the day and gassy screaming baby by bedtime!! The Miracle Blanket is by far the BEST! Couldnt live with out it!! Right after i got the blanket  i would wrap my daughter and it got rid of her painful gas she was burping better and sleep well i became over rested because she would now sleep through the night and be a happier baby all around!! Which is what all parents want so if u have an angry baby at bedtime you so need to get a MIRACLE BLANKET!!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

We can NOT LIVE WIHOUT pacifiers, pacifiers, and more pacifiers!!! I do not know what it is but as soon as the "bobo" comes within baby sight, my daughter calms down instantly and goes into her own little zone. Apparently, pacifiers are a must have throughout my whole family, my cousin nearly had it until he was 6 years old!

I could not, would not live without books! They are the sure-fire entertainer for my son. It's wonderful for his cognitive intelligence also. Plus, Dr. Seuss is so fun to read!

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

I can't live without my "webcam." My husband was home on leave in July when we got pregnant. He is in the Marine Corps and on his third tour already. This is the only way my husband can see the progress of "our" baby bump and pictures of our first ultrasound! I try to share every experience with him because this is our first baby! I love to see his facial expressions when he sees the "bump." He will be home at the end of December! I can't wait!

What to Expect While You're Expecting and my mom who is an RN in the Mother Baby unit at the hospital. Her experience with newborns daily & her own three girls was just what I needed during pregnancy and now that my son has been born (just a week old)!  I couldn't do it without my mom!

I think my favorite thing right now is my bed, I am sick all day long and without that feeling of comfort in my bed I don't think I would make it through the day.

re: Ultimate Munchkin Gift Basket Giveaway!

My ultra soft and fleece body pillow and my pregnancy journal that shows me day by day what baby is doing and how she's devolping in there. The book also gives me helpful tips and ideas for nutrition and comfort for both baby and I. It's very nice to know how big baby is and the milestones in her life in mommys tummy like when she will start to suck her thumb and when she can wiggle her little toes. This book made me feel like I get a preview of my bundle of joy everyday and  would ask for anything more !
