Proof that Life goes On -- Jen's Baby Wish List
If any of you has used any of these and has opinions or alternates, please speak! Alternately, if you have one to pass along, please let's talk -- that's what other parents are good for!
Jen’s Baby Wish List
A note about colors. I realize that baby things are mostly in pastels and whites… I would really love to have as much bright and funky stuff as possible! So please try to avoid pastels whenever possible!
Big Big Big Wish: plane tickets for the 3 of us (I guess 2 since baby should be free while tiny) to go visit all the family in England in the spring before I go back to work.

- Arm’s Reach Original Co-Sleeper w/ Leg extensions. Blue star, Tan star or Natural. Also some sheets- whatever colors would match (no pinks!)
- Cloth Diapers:
- Newborn Prefold Package with: bleached Chinese prefolds, not prewashed,
- ProRap & Bummis covers, half newborn/half small covers, bold colored Snappis (no pastels)
- http://www.wholefamilymarket.com/Newborn-Prefolds-Package-p-78.html
- Fuzzi Bunz: 4-6 size smalls (maybe more if I love them) and I *think* 15-18 mediums if they work for us! No pastels. Included inserts are fine. http://www.fuzzibunzstore.com/ also available at many cloth diaper sites
- Mostly $$ for diapers so once I figure out which ones work best for us I can buy them. I am planning on getting quite a few different kinds to try to see what works.
- Gender neutral baby clothes. Warm stuff in 3-6 mos and 12mos as baby will be born in winter. Bright colors if possible! Winnie the Pooh and Dr Seuss are my favorites. Lots of onesies (short and long sleeved) hats, pants, sleepers, etc etc. Please only white socks (don’t want to mess with matching)
- Funky baby clothes from these sites: http://www.babywit.com/index.html , https://luckylildevil.com/Retail.html
- Lots of receiving blankets. Soft thin ones for swaddling as well as thicker types.
- Baby washcloths: a couple dozen (to be used as wipes)
- Baby towels (with the hooded part)
- Baby bath tub
- Burt’s Bees baby stuff: Apricot oil, diaper ointment, buttermilk soap & lotion
- Plushy toys and stuffies: I particularly like elephants. Giraffes, monkeys, gorillas, turtles and big cats are also good.
- Hotslings Pouch: size 2, Red http://www.hotslings.com/
- Kozy Carrier: Windy Day fabric, no pocket, black normal length straps http://www.kozycarrier.homestead.com/Order.html
- Some sort of bouncy chair/swinging chair
- Britax Marathon or Boulevard convertible car seat, cowmooflauge or onyx (very pricey but well worth it as it will fit the babe from 5-65 lbs! and Britax is the top of the line car seat maker)
- Stroller? Haven’t started looking at them yet.
- Changing Table? Dresser?
- Diaper Pail (basically a large plastic trash can type thing) and 2 liners: Bummis Tote Bags L or XL depending on pail size. http://www.wholefamilymarket.com/Bummis-Tote-Bags-p-92.html
- Wet Bag for dirty diapers in diaper bag: Happy Tushies Zippered Wet Bag Large. I don’t really like any of the prints… something blue? http://www.wholefamilymarket.com/Happy-Tushies-Wetbags-p-800.html
