I highly recommend looking into bath books (those vinyl-ish squishy waterproof books) if you haven't. My son loves reading by himself and when he was younger he always got mad he couldn't turn pages. Those pages are big and thick and easy for little fingers to turn. Plus he can chew them to his heart's content!
These smaller Sesame Street ones are his favorite. He reads them every day.
I’d never heard of it either, but it looks like it’s supposed to be a “womb-like” bath tub. Found it on Amazon
Maybe someone who has used it can convince me otherwise, but it looks like a $55 bucket.
The ones we have suck a bit cause they’re horrible to clean, but these ones are meant to be AMAZING

It’s a pillow specially designed to help flat head syndrome. She was getting a really flat spot and if we didn’t intervene the next step would be a helmet worn 23hrs a day. Our pediatrician recommended. It does help the baldness patches as well. Link is below.

I don’t think that item is exactly the same, but it’s one of them that they are selling. :) they’re so stinkin’ cute. Sadly, he can’t wear them long because he gets so hot, so fast. But I just had to get a picture lol
Thanks! Tee from good old Amazon -

This is the one we have! We put a twin mattress inside it. We never had luck with a crib.
Thank you!! And I got it on Amazon I love it. It’s super easy to wash and easy to bring places :) my only complaint is that my cats nails have poked holes in it on the parts that are outside his play pen but that’s it.

Oh I hope they're useful to you and your LO! I got them on Amazon they aren't the cheapest but they seem to last until toddler age.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FDQFBRJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9glDFbT2F72W3
This is the one we have, but there are many like it and some are much cheaper. Don't know the difference in quality. When we got bought it it was only $48
Oh no! I use this bathtub and can keep warm water from the sink faucet running on her the whole time, she seems to really enjoy it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000067EH7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DVbDFb3SNVRDG
She looooves baths! I got this tub that fits nicely over our sink and I keep running water on her, she just loves it. Still working on the transition back into a diaper an jammies, she's not super fond of being cold so we try to do it quickly... She's soothes easily but dressing a clammy baby in a hurry is kinda hard 😂 She's 5 weeks now and I actually look forward to giving her baths because of her obvious enjoyment ❤️
We only bathed her once prior to her umbilical cord fell out, the first bath was more of a wipe down for us.
Here's the tub I bought, totally a game changer!

One of our best baby purchases. She loves jumping in it, great for leg strength and the “harness” is detachable as you can see lol. Lots of fun activities! Congrats btw, she is our first and it’s been the best thing to happen to me!

I used these with my kiddo. They are just anti-skid. The only issue I had was they kept scrunching down because of her chubbiness.
As far as worrying about her banging her knees alot, whats going to happen is going to happen. Shes going to get bumped around, she's going to fall while learning to walk and bump her head. Just don't project panic and rush upon her and she'll pick herself up again.
They are on amazon! There are several different brands, here is one example https://www.amazon.com/Goldenvalueable-Guard-Vertical-Collapsible-Toddlers/dp/B07VH41YWB I've been going back and forth on getting one.
Please check the age recommendations. For those things, they are not recommended until 6 months. Door jumpers are not safe, and walkers are not either. Walkers can cause hip dysplasia and delay in walking developmentally. Putting your baby in a jumper or something that they are not physically ready for is bad for their spine and can also cause hip dysplasia.
For babies that age, I recommend a sit me up seat by fisher price, here’s one on Amazon . It’ll help with the babies core muscles.

Not for the older one, as ours is five months. Not sure about what temps you'll expect, but we love the Halo winter weight sleep sack for night time.

In the first months of a child’s life, even years, the child is too vulnerable. And of course, the usual video camera is indispensable. For such a case, I pooped a baby monitor from MonBaby. It captures the physical condition of the child. For example, how he breathes, measures heartbeat, reacts to the position of the body, also tells if the battery sits down.
On Amazon, there is a discount on the purchase

Many, many babies use a pack and play instead of a crib. We had a crib because we had a whole nursery for my daughter. Sorry for the bad link, I’m on mobile. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JU0H6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_G9wjBbVDDTH7V
They have a few different kinds to choose from.
I know they sell those CDs like Baby Beethoven, Baby Bach, etc which I'm sure they selected specifically for the babies ease of grasping the melodies and also for relaxation. Even if you don't want to buy the CDs you can see what kinds of pieces they have selected and go from there.
You are very welcome! I am also going to be having children while all of my friends are not even married yet... and I also live in the middle of nowhere! So I will be using La Leche League to make friends, for sure.
Their book The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is also a GREAT reference to have around.
