Taking All Baby Product Suggestions

As you know, WifeGeeding and I are going to be first time parents and we are clueless when it comes to baby products.

Pretty soon we will be buying and registering for all things baby, but I thought I would take this time and ask all you experts a few questions, most of which relate to each other:

  • If you could recommend one baby product that will make life easier, what would that be?
  • What’s the one thing as a new parent that you can’t live without?
  • Are there any brands that we should steer clear of, or that we should steer towards?
  • If there is one book you would recommend either for pre or post birth events, what’s the book?
  • Is there a store that you recommend above all others when it comes to buying all thing baby?
