Playtex Ventaire Bottles
I absolutely hated these bottles. The nipples constantly collapsed, and they were such a pain in general! I ended up giving them away for free - I couldn't, in good faith, make someone pay for something that I hated that much!
Dr. Brown Bottles
AWESOME! My daughter had colic when she was younger, and this combined with Nutramigen formula cleared it right up! I also never had to worry about collapsed nipples with these bottles! I have used the glass ones and the plastic ones.
Winnie the Pooh Days of Hunny Walker
Good buy - height adjusts for the baby, and the toys separate to reveal a tray that can be used for feeding, or for different toys. The downside is that it can be a pain to put together, and the toys can come off with vigorous babies turning them and pulling them. However, there is nothing small enough for the baby to choke on.
Fisher-Price Deluxe Jumperoo
It's a good thing to have, but it isn't my daughter's favorite thing. She enjoys her walker just as much. I guess it really depends on the child! The good things about it are that it adjusts for your child's height, has toys that won't come off and become choking hazards, and the lights on the toys are battery operated. There are also a few different settings for the lights/music such as continuous for smaller children, and a setting that only sets them off when the child plays with the toys. Good buy!
SweetPeace Soothing Center
This is, simply put, the BEST $130 I ever spent in my entire life. This swing does everything! It swings at six different speeds, has multiple "nature" sounds (running water, womb sounds, etc) two different nursery song setting (play time and sleep time!) an MP3 connection with a slide out tray for your MP3 player to be hidden, two toys that come with it, a pacifier holder, a headrest, a teething ring that detaches, etc. The list goes on and on with this swing. I just wish they had one in my size!
Bumbo Seats
While I love my daughter's Bumbo (and so does she) there are always downsides. One problem with the Bumbo is that if you put the Bumbo on a high surface, your child could scoot the seat and fall off (duh!) and possibly injure himself/herself. One other problem that I have had with the seat is that my daughter flips out of it (the little escape artist!) which I have heard of other children doing. With as short as the Bumbo is, it's probably not going to cause any harm as long as there are no toys around for your child to fall on, but it's still scary!
The lesson to be taken from this is that Bumbo seats are NOT babysitters! No foam seat could ever replace a supervising adult!

Diapers.com
Omigod. I love this website! If you use the promotional code "genesis" you get an extra little bit off of your order! I got a box of 264 HUGGIES diapers for around $30 on here! Definitely worth it!!!
