Baby products  

I've always used pampers and Johnson products on both my kids.

I love my wipe warmer. I recommend it highly. Also the baby swing. That swing kept my son occupied for hours. Loved it.

I couldn't live without disposable diapers, wipes and wipe warmer, diaper genie, swing/bouncy, lightweight stroller, infant bath tub and teething tablets.

I personally found the diaper genie to be a waste. I didn't really use it that often. I found trial size items such as baby powder, baby wipes, etc...to be a godsend! I know it sounds silly, but I have 3 kids and being able to pack a diaper bag and fit some of my other kids stuff in it too is awesome. I have all sorts of crazy trial size things in my sons bag, and I keep them in there so then I don't have to "repack" a bag everytime I need to go someplace. I also keep sample packets of baby wash, rash cream, etc... in there in case there is a spur of the moment overnighter!

I hated my diaper geinie. I couldn't stand to empty it! It totally grossed me out. Instead I had a seperate garbage can in the garage where I would throw the diapers away. This would keep the stink out of the house.

I loved the baby swing and the exersaucer. These two items are good for entertaining the baby during busy times~ like getting dinner ready. I never had a wipe warmer,but that sounds like a treat for the baby:)

For me, having a bouncy chair was a lifesaver! We bought a Fisher Price one that had a vibrating seat and it would just put my son right to sleep. On nights when he was sick and fussy, he would actually sleep in the chair instead of his crib, since it was the only way the three of us could get some shut-eye!
That bouncy chair was so handy, I would take him outside in it while I hung laundry, he´d sit in it while I did chores or watch me cook. It was also his first high chair since we didn´t have one and he started to eat at 4 months!It broke when he was 9 months old, but by then he could sit on his own, so it wasn´t such a big deal.

My favorite can't live without items were: bouncy seat - I didn't use the vibrator part - simple chair is fine, swing, Aveeno Baby products *my son had cradle cap, acne, and scaly skin and all problems were cleared up with using the Aveeno Baby wash and lotion, and a great travel system - car seat and base with a stoller that all work together.

I couldn't live without a safety bathtub. It is just so hard to wash an infant in a bathtub. The bath grows with them well into toddler years. These are great!!

A play pen. Play pens are awesome, to set the baby in while you are doing something.

A exersaucer. The baby's love this.

A carrier. Its hard to do some things while holding baby. A carrier is great for this.

i loved the ocean wonders baby swing. it did so many different things and kept my daughter occupied for hours. i also loved the 3 in 1 stroller. it was so easy to take her out of the car and pop the thing onto the stroller.

I never used any of those things you mentioned. They seem like a waste of money to me and since I didn't get a baby shower with any of my 4 kids we had to buy everything ourselves. The things we really used a lot was the pack n play (our 4th is now using it) and swing and the carseat (but we had 3 kids right in a row) and the clothes. We never had a changing table (you can change them on the floor). We didn't get a crib until our oldest was 7 months and since we had 3 kids in a row the older one had to move out as soon as possible so the baby could use it. But none of our 4 children every used it as a newborn.

The high chair got a lot of use. Diapers get thrown in the kitchen garbage that gets taken out pretty much every night.

So I'd say the one item we couldn't live without was the swing.
