Week one - best purchase....

[floppit]

I'm nearly at the end of my first week being a mum - I still don't feel like one though, I just feel in love with my little bundle!

All this week I've thought how glad I am that we've got a swinging crib by the bed. She doesn't much like being put down but the swinging motion just stops her tears.

Obviously there's a load of stuff more essential than our swinging crib but the swing crib was the hunch that paid off.

What have other people thought was their best 'thing' to have in the first weeks?

(Or the first month 'cos I'm looking for any new cool ideas too!).

My vibrating chair If she tired and fighting her sleep it sends her to sleep like at the minute but if she in a playful mood it keeps her entertained

The vibrating bouncing chair with relaxing sounds, music and an aquarium with moving fish from Fisher Price. My OH bought it when I was pregnant with my son and he loved it. Now my 2 week old daughter is using it and it's a total godsend. The best £50 he ever spent! x

I also go for my vibrating chair thingy.

We got the "Infant to toddler rocker" so I don't have to nag Brody not to get in it.
