Blankets for swaddling. Sawyer loves being swaddled at bedtime. As in won't sleep well without getting bundled up. Now he prefers to have an arm (or both) out, but still loves a good swaddle.
Baby carrier. I have both a wrap and a Beco Butterfly II. Sawyer loves being in both. It soothes him if he's being fussy and wants to be near me. It allows me to get stuff done while keeping him happy. Great for going shopping and not having to lug around the car seat/stroller. I started using the wrap in the hospital since the nurses recommended holding him and keeping him close to my heart as much as possible. I started being able to use the Beco once he hit 7 lbs. Even Drew has worn Sawyer in the Beco. So cute.
Activity mat. Sawyer loves playing on his activity mat, whether it's swinging his arms at the toys or having some tummy time, the activity mat is a favorite!
Swing. Great place to take a nap, hang out while mom cooks or is doing laundry, the swing was a great gift to receive! Sawyer enjoys it and as taken many a nap in his. Ours plays soothing music, and has a mobile with soothing lights.
Sure, there are a lot of other things - bottles, pacifiers, diapers, etc that you need. However these are somethings that aren't necessary for survival, but for sanity.
PS Sawyer is such a big boy - 9 lbs 10 oz at his last doctor's visit! And he's outgrowing newborn clothes! Whoa!
