April- where on earth did you get the tray your talking about?! i could DEFINITELY use one of those! That sounds like a fantastic invention....Matthew is great at resturants but he gets frustrated with me giving him bites because he wants to feed himself but if i put a plate in front of him it goes right on the floor! I would love love love to know where i can get one!
I think the boppy was super useful to us when matthew was a newborn i couldnt have lived without it either...also our pack n play has been great for naps at grandma's and for the bassinet insert when he was a newborn. I also really love our highchair...it has another tray that snaps on top for meals so you can take it off and put it in the dishwasher (which is great) and a removable cover...6 height positions...4 recline positions...all the bells and whistles! I love to "cook" with matthew by putting him in the highchair and giving him bowls and spoons to play with while i explain to him how im making dinner. He used to sit in it and play with toys while i did certain chores when he was little...its just a big must around here...the highchair is a life saver for a stay at home mom! I also like this little "munchkin" contraption that you put all the bottle nipples and rings in to keep them contained and safe from melting in the dishwasher....i HATE washing bottles so its a must for me :)
We never used our swing...Matthew hated it...we used the bouncer but never the swing...luckily ours was a bouncer/swing 2in1 deal so we didnt waste too much money! I also think Huggies diapers can go to you know where! I hate them! I like luvs and pampers overnights! Thats the other thing we cant live without...pampers overnights...those things can hold pee like you would not believe! Matthew soaks through at night with any other kind of diaper....pampers overnights are AMAZING. But, my boy can PEE lol!

I think the two most useful products for us were the swaddler (since Braeden couldn't sleep without being swaddled until he was almost 8 months old!) and now, its his tray we take with us to restaurants. Its made of rubber, and it suction cups to the table. I dont' know what we'd do without it, since we try to go out once a week or so, and I hate the idea of putting his food right on the table, and he had a plate, it would go right on the floor!
Least useful was probably the diaper warmer. Not only did we not use it long, but it actually burned our changing table!

Hmmm That's a tough one. I have a lot of favorite products. Not really a 'baby product' but the magic bullet, I use it to make all of Ashlynn's food. I also love the boppy for the same reasons that Heather mentioned. I love the swing I got. Ashlynn still likes to nap in it on occasion. I also love my Beco Butterfly II carrier. Awesome for front or back carrying.
I don't use the wipes warmer, or the diaper champ (I use clothe diapers at home so it's not practical at all). I didn't use swaddles at all, but that depends on the baby. I also didn't love the ERGO carrier that just about everyone loves. Also the travel system stroller was kind of a waste for me. I use a jogging stroller or and unbrella stroller.

I would say the boppy pillow.... I still use it to this day. We would use it to hold him/feed him when he was small, he would nap on it. Now he uses it to lay on the floor and drink a bottle or I put it around him when he is sitting sometimes because he likes to fall strait backwards here and there. Pack n play is good too he would use the basinett portion as an infant in my room... and now that he is crawling I have it set up as a playpin in the living room. I have also used that when I travel for a crib.
Least useful for me is the diaper champ (I didn't like keeping a pail of dirty diapers in his room would rather just throw them away in the trash). Wiper warmer is useless...lol. Instead I keep a few containers of wipes throughout the house along with a stack of diapers.
Can't believe how big our boys are getting! Matthew's first birthday sure isn't taking long to get here.
