We want to try out cloth diapers when we're at home. We'd like a few covers - any fun covers are fine by us!

Even though we want to try cloth diapering at home, we'll still need plenty of disposables for those first couple weeks and when we're out and about.

Basic and un-sexy - but SO necessary!

Getting a combo car seat and stroller seems like the most economical way to go. And Consumer Reports thinks this car seat is the bomb! Chip in to help us get these critical items!

For the multi-car lifestyle. An extra car seat base will be SUPER helpful.

This crib seems worth the splurg! It's ultra light weight and our friend Maya says her girls love the side zipper. Folks don't let go of these easily, so I don't think they are usually available used. Chip in to help us make this investment!

We've heard multiple times that these Baby Bjorn seats are amazing! I just saw one posted on Craigslist - so no need to buy new!

Barnyard fun for the little one!

This tank top clips onto a nursing bra, making any top suitable for nursing. A few of these seem like a great way to avoid having to get a whole new wardrobe!

From all the online reviews this nursing pillow sounds like the best for feeding newborns.

We want to give cloth diapers a try for when we're at home and these came recommended by a couple different sources! We'd like to start with a dozen of the newborn size. (White, unbleached, or organic are all fine.)

We decided that we don't really need a full-on changing table - a curved pad like this one will let us turn a table or dresser into a changing table.

This small-sized kit of diaper essentials is also a changing pad!

Butt paste! Enough said, right?

This baby monitor got good rates on Consumer Reports for battery life and interference. Looked like Walmart had a good price - but feel free to buy elsewhere!

Word is that this is the BEST way to walk a dog while pushing a stroller. Something I anticipate us doing quite a bit. The cheapest I found was on Amazon with a Prime account. We're not attached to this particular version/product.

Most portable high-chair ever!

We hear swaddling is hard and that these are idiot proof! Any print is fine. Newborn size to start.

These swaddle sacks have velcro! So all the benefits of swaddling without the middle of the night hassle.

Any baby tub is just fine! Feel free to pick one up used - we hear they're really easy to find second hand.

For a clean baby!

Friend recommended!

Our friend Bethany says this noise machine was a real help!

It's a giraffe - and it's for chewing on. How great is that?

I've read that these are a great option to use as burp cloths! Affordable + highly absorbent.

Not an essential - but I do hear this specialty drying rack is a nice thing to to have.

Apparently when you have a baby you have to do a LOT of laundry. Any baby-appropriate laundry detergent is just fine!

Our friend Maya swears by this carrier, which they used for both their daughters from infancy through early toddlerhood.
