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

car seat - for an infant, don’t overspend — get one that’s convertible from a car seat to a stroller

wipe warmer - no need

diaper pail - only if access to non-indoor trash is far away

toy - Sophie the giraffe is terrific

don’t waste too much on toys early on

washable diaper pads - love them

and master swaddling with simple thin blankets, swaddling rocks

angel dear blankies are THE BEST, gotta have them

@tvaziri @snazzyq Like Todd say, a car seat that can be put in the stroller is great, but don’t use it as a stroller all the time – not as ergonomic for baby as the regular stroller module.

My highest recommendation is an Ergobaby carrier used with the baby faced towards the parent, again for ergonomic reasons.

@jonc @snazzyq love that carrier
