Brilliant Baby Buys for families in Hampton Roads, Tidewater, Virginia, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, & Williamsburg


  I don’t like to just write a product list for you as a general rule.  After all, there are SO many baby products on the market, it is sometimes hard to know what you will really need and will be especially useful, versus what might be a waste of money.
Of course a list such as this is always going to be personal  -  we all like to make our own discoveries and mistakes along the way,  but I know that I would have appreciated some objective guidance when I was scouring the internet and scratching my head at 7 months pregnant.  (Please note I have steered away from stating the obvious baby needs such as stroller, car seat, crib, high chair, playpen, well stocked diaper bag etc.).  Here then, is my list of best baby related buys…
The practical:
·         Baby play mat
·         Baby chair
·         Baby walker
·         Humidifier for the Nursery
·         A comfortable and quiet chair for feeding baby
·         If breastfeeding, a breast pump  (I like to have an electric one for easy convenience
          and a manual one for on the go).  Also breast milk storage bags
·         A Boppy (even if you aren’t breastfeeding these are great for propping up baby)
·         Ice cube trays (and a blender!)  for storing homemade baby food
·         Hand sanitizer (in every room and diaper bag)
·         Costco membership for stocking up on diapers and wipes
·         An engaged partner!
Toys & books:
·         Lamaze stroller toy,  like Kerry the fairy  (they have others if you want to be gender neutral)
·         Baby Einstein Sing Along (portable and not too annoying!)
·         Baby Einstein DVDs
·         Good baby music like Baby Beluga and all the Putamayo cds
·         Good touchy feely book.  (I have  a great one called Fairies)
·         Good Nursery Rhyme book
Clothes:
·         Plain white onesies (good for any season, day or night)
·         Crib shoes like Robeez or cheaper Bobux from Target. These help keep socks on and look cute!)
·         Extra-large blanket for swaddling baby. 
·     Sunhat and sunglasses.  I love my Flap Happy hat with large brim and tie and Baby Banz glasses with Velcro wrap around


I would love to hear anyone else’s personal suggestions on great and not so great buys for baby...
