Dads/moms: what are a few things/gadgets/supplies a first-time parent may want? What are things that are trendy but dumb/unneeded? Any and all feedback appreciated!

@snazzyq It's expensive, but I recommend the Snoo. We didn't have one for our first kid but did for our second and I think it made a difference in how much sleep we got. They also have great resale value, so in the end we only spent a fraction of the purchase price.

If you use formula, I also recommend the Dr Brown's mixing pitcher. It seems like you could just use stuff you have around the house but we found it to be super helpful to have a dedicated thing. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Browns-Formula-Mixing-Pitcher/dp/B001I481LM?th=1
