Feeding chairs

I prefer feeding chairs that attach to regular chairs, they take up less real estate and can be easily transported.

Baby room furniture

We were lucky that we were able to borrow all baby room furniture from from my sister in law. This means that we got much nicer furniture than we would ever have bought. Yay for us! We used the height adjustment feature of the crib for the first two kids and we used the change table for the first kid only. I found the nursing chair difficult to get into with the nursing pillow so I rarely used it. For Owen I put an exercise mat with a comforter on top and found it useful for nursing but I did not reuse the setup for Markus. General conclusion – the more experience you get as a parent, the less stuff you need.

Nursing pillow

I love my nursing pillow.

Immersion blender

Making my own baby food is one of the few things I wish I did not wait for the last kid to start doing. Obtaining the immersion blender was not the only factor, but it certainly made making baby food so much easier and less messy. Little glass lock jars add to the fun and convenience.
