Must Have Registry item

Registering for my baby shower was one of the most overwhelming and stressful experiences ever. Bridal shower registry was difficult also, but it didn't have the constant overtone of "if you pick the wrong item you could kill your child". If I didn't end up liking my dishes, in a few years I could replace them. But this was one of the first decisions I was making as a parent, it had to be right!

If you can avoid this line of thinking then you're a better woman than me because it drove me insane. But in the spirit of the online reviews which most 21st century moms do now, here is a must have that I have used every single day since my daughter was born.

The boppy! It transitions from breastfeeding pillow to tummy time pillow and much more. My daughter uses it every morning to drink her bottle. It keeps her at the perfect angle and it's comfortable. We also used it when we traveled this summer to Las Vegas and San Francisco. Since we didn't pay for a seat for Addison, I kept the boppy on my lap and she slept in it the whole trip. That meant that I didn't need to get an arm cramp from 4 hours of supporting my increasingly heavy angel. The boppy has many many covers that easily zip off and are machine washable. I would suggest having a spare. We don't and it would make laundry a little easier since she's not spitting up as much anymore and I don't do laundry everyday like when she was first born. Here is a picture, please ignore my toes.
