When you become a mother, you take on a whole new world of “home decor”-Baby items. With two newborns, I can tell you, things double. While you might not buy two of the same thing (except car seats of course) there’s swings, baby carriers, toys, sleepers, breast pumps, you name it, someone out there probably has it.
We all have our favorite baby items that help keep things running smoothly when it comes to babies and Fisher-Price wants to know about your First-Year Favorites. According to BabyCenter.com, a Mom’s Favorite First Year Items are:
- Swing
- Bouncer
- Sleeper
- Feeding Support Pillow
- Carrier
- High Chair
- Activity Gym
- Jumperoo
- Breast Pump
- Play Mat
While all my children are cuddlers, sometimes Mommy and Daddy have to get up and take care of things. Kelsie and Aubrey love playing with the boys and are incredible big sisters. No matter where the twins are, their sisters are always checking on them.
Right now, our boys have been falling in love with My Little Snugabunny Cradle ‘N Swing and the My Little Snugabunny Newborn Rock ‘N Play Sleeper from Fisher-Price just as much as I have.
The Newborn Rock ‘N Play Sleeper is very lightweight and easy to fold up and store when you need it out of the way. I love that it has a slight incline that almost “hugs” baby to keep them feeling cuddled. It only took a matter of minutes to get it set up and the boys enjoying.
The Sleeper features a three-point restraint to keep baby secure and baby can easy sleep or play while hanging out.
If for some reason the padding gets dirty (they’re babies, it happens!), you can easily take it off the frame and throw in the wash.
My Little Snugabunny Cradle ‘N Swing is an absolute lifesaver as well that provides ample ways to let baby relax.
Features of the Cradle ‘n Swing include:
- A mirror in mobile allowing baby to recognize and look at self
- Three different positions for swinging, including back to forth and side to side
- Mobile with plush bird designs
- Music and sounds with adjustable volume
- Adjustable speed
- Ability to run on four D batteries or plug-in to save batteries.

Both boys love taking turns switching off in the swing and rocking to sleep or Lucas’ favorite thing, staring in the mirror 😉 It must be weird looking in a mirror with a brother that looks just like you, am I right?
We all have our favorites that help and you can have your own chance to enjoy some of our favorites as well!
One For The Love of Baby! reader will win YOUR choice of the My Little Snugabunny Cradle ‘n Swing or My Little Snugabunny Newborn Rock ‘n Play Sleeper!

I find the carrier most useful.

A breast pump was very helpful. Since I breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months, it was the only was I could take a break.
