Answer
1 baby bjorn with back support all the way! my dd loves it still at 9 mos, and will sleep in it when tired
2 graco quattro tour deluxe; convertible seat britax boulevard
3 baby italia lifestyle...http://www.buzzillions.com/4294967168_nz_crib_reviews--the one i have is the number one on their ratings--at least one or two more on the top ten is the same crib, just in different color
4 new clothes, we get a lot from babies r us, they are fairly close, not that expensive and clothes are cute...kohl's has some cute stuff at times, target is ok...not a big fan of walmart for clothes; secondhand is great, they always look new if you go to a consignment shop; the one we have doesn't take anything but brand name with no stains, etc.. and they are cheap! they grow fast enough, that i wish i had known about this sort of thing and about craigslist, freecycle, etc when i was pregnant, would have saved me tons of money!!
5 patchwork pooh, it's beautiful and could be used for either sex..
6 we love lamaze! their baby mirror is great compared to other brands, has a foam wedge instead of a stand like a pic, so it doesn't get knocked over so easy, the big contrasting prints she likes so much that i can take the mirror off and she will play with the wedge!
7 primo euro tub; it has support to hold a nb in place for washing, and the other side has a place to support a baby that can sit and you can put in a little water to wash nb, or make it deeper for a baby that can sit and play..they come in different colors too..

8 we use johnsons body wash, reg, purple and cocoa butter...
9 any kind before they are walking just to keep their feet warm in winter, when they start walking they recommend barefoot inside so they can develop their feet muscles and their balance....and if out when walking, a soft soled shoe like robeez, umi, etc....nike also makes a baby shoe that has a soft leather bottom...
10 i only bought a few bc i was already staying at home; i had some sweats that fit and a pair of jeans or two and some cute tops, one bluejean overall pair of shorts.....you can get them anywhere, my friend that worked said that burlington coat factory had cute good priced clothes, but i never needed more, so i didn't look myself..
hope all this helps!!

Please help me shop for my new baby daughter.?
Wookie
I am pregnant with a daughter. :) very excited that it was a girl. (God granted my wish ) HAHA- Anyway, i am new to this motherhood thingy, i am just wondering what should i prepare for my daughter, what are the important things that i should be getting for her?? i am 21 weeks pregnant..
Answer
well, u can go to babies r us website and they have a list for ppl who are going to register..of course it has a lot of things on there that you don't need, but if you weed through you can get what you need out of it...the things i liked;found most useful, etc......
.i would def recommend:
a diaper genie 2; idk why ppl don't like them, there is NO smell in my dd 's room
changing table..will save your back, good for diap changes, clothes changes, sponge baths, etc and you have shelves to store your new baby must haves....i have canvas bins on the shelves to store things that are good to have in reach or easily available...
monitor--i like the graco imonitor, recently bought a second one for another room in the house bc i liked the other one so much, it has been working well for over 8 mos now, and it has good range, battery life, and i can hear EVERYTHING; never any interference....it works great..
boppy pillow with cotton covers, soft ones don't fit as well for some reason
lots of baby hangers, and baby hangers with clips to keep outfits together
primo euro bathtub
prince lionheart diaper depot and wipewarmer; ours works well and the wipes are still very warm when we get them to out dd's bottom
health kit: brush, comb, thermometer (not an ear one, not as accurate), nail clippers, etc.
baby meds, generic is just as good and a lot cheaper...desitin(or plain zinc oxide if you can find it)..not creamy, has less zinc ox in it....infant mylicon and tylenol
lots of diapers , make sure wherever you buy them will let you exchange them for a diff size if you need to even after the return period...brus let me do that, and buy a small pack of a couple brands to see which you prefer before you open the big boxes...wipes, lots of them, without alcohol or fragrance! we use swaddlers diapers and pampers sensitive wipes; no rashes, no reactions to their ingredients, diapers hold a lot when they have too and the netting tends to keep the wet off her bottom...
lots of baby washclothes, you may have to use them on baby's bum if it is really sensitive and gets a rash....and baby towels, but you could use your reg towels if money is an issue
swing, pref swings two ways and plugs in instead of batteries
bouncy seat
infant travel system! easy, easy, easy--we got the graco tour deluxe; it is great, folds with one hand, several seating positions, lays flat for sleep; has a big basket underneath and cup holders for mom and dad, one for baby , place for snacks for baby, and a 'pocket' up top for keys, cell phone, whatever you wanna put there...
play yard, get one with bassinet feature if you want to, easier to keep baby in your room for a while before putting them in crib in their room=we have chicco discovery and it is awesome, has more padding than most, easy to wash..machine wash, most are wipe down...very sturdy, has nightlight, vibration, etc and a flip up change table, has wooden slats that slide in under mattress for support...not that much more exp than the others and much better in my opinion
passys--she loves soothies and that is all she will take..
baby wash, again frag free, dye free
frag free , dye free laundry detergent
clothes hamper or basket
lingerie bag for socks, mittens, anything little so they don't get lost in the wash...
something to put baby toys in
extra toy links
lullaby cd and small cd player; my dd has come to love white noise, she naps with a fan and a womb bear; sleeps at night with a fan....
oh, mosquito cover for your infant carrier..it's where you can see in , baby can see out, but strangers cant just walk up and touch your baby, and they will!!!!!
all i can come up with now...LOL
diaper bags; big one for everything you may need, leave in car unless you will be somewhere a long time, and a small one to stick what you will need for a short run in so you don't have to haul the bigger one
if ffing:
avent formula dispenser; has better review than the ones made by sassy, and convert to a snack cup later...i loved it so much i bought a second one!
bottles--really liked playtex ventaire advanced when she was young, more pieces but it's easy to get them clean when the top and bottom comes off...and they vent through the bottom instead of the nip so no bubbles or foam going back up into baby's milk; they will leak if you don't put them together correctly, but we have had no probs with them and have never had to replace any parts on them..if u decide on them and have leaks, email me and i will explain how to keep them from leaking...:O)
bottle and nip brushes--i really like the ones by munchking that don't have a sponge on the end of the brush, they come in diff colors mixed with white and have a great nip brush in the handles....
drying racks--again, i really like munchkins...
formula mixer: i like dr brown's formula pitcher bc you don't shake it it is only about sixteen bucks i think and it mixes it without bubbles and foam and you can make enough for 24 hrs at the ti
