[blparent] Items you couldn't live without

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

I found a changing table very necessary. It hurt me physically to use
the floor.. Know that changing tables are only specced for 30 pounds, so
your best option is to buy a dresser, bracket it to the wall and use
that with a changing pad. Get one that is between waist and chest hight,
you don't want one taller or shorter then that zone.

I would say the items that were a life saver would be the bouncy chair,
this 
gave us a place to put our daughter if we needed to do something. The 
vibrating of the chair would help sooth her, and the mobile on it
provided 
her with some entertainment. Some type of carrying device such as the 
snugli.

The swing is one item we didn't use at all. My daughter didn't like the 
swing for some reason, so it ended up taking up room in our small
apartment. 
I would save our changing table wasn't necessary either. I liked having
it, 
but it is just as easy to lay a blanket on the floor and change the
baby.
