Pampers Swaddlers - These are wonderful... not only do they have a yellow stripe that turns green when the diaper is wet, but it is the only brand (of the ones we have tried) that prevents blowouts. Plus, they are helping vaccinate kids around the world.
Dr.Smith's Diaper Ointment and Boudreaux's Butt Paste - I had to take an antibiotic a couple weeks after she was born and as a result, she developed severe diaper rash. Dr. Smith's has the largest percentage of zinc oxide and did a wonderful job of clearing up her bum. Most places keep this behind the pharmacy counter... not sure why. I also use Boudreaux's and love it. All the other brands that we tried out were too drying.-deluxe_pic.jpg)
My Brest Friend - I initially used a Boppy, but my lactation consultant recommended this and I love it! You can adjust the straps to make it tighter (as you get smaller) and it makes for a great spot for the baby to take a nap, if they fall asleep while feeding.
SaraBear Diaper Caddy - Our room is downstairs and her nursery is upstairs, therefore we rarely change her in her nursery. Most of the time, I put a plastic pad down and change her on our bed. This cute basket keeps all of the necessary changing stuff organized. Plus, you can get it monogrammed.
My daily uniform
Glamourmom Tanks - These tanks allow you to nurse while keeping your jelly belly covered up and slightly compressed. They are sleek and long and can be worn under anything.

Gillian & O'Malley Pants - Clemsongirl raves about these, so I had to try them out. They are super soft and comfy, plus they are black.... which means they are slimming. :)
Reef Sandals - My feet swelled up to the size of clown feet and flip flops were the only thing that was comfy. I still wear them everyday.
Cardigans - Short sleeve. Long sleeve. 3/4 sleeve. They make nursing a breeze, plus they can be dressed up or down.

Wrap Dresses - When I need to spruce up my daily uniform, I resort to a wrap dress. They conceal many, many flaws.
and last but not least, Spanx. Heaven. Wonderful. Fabulous. Too bad they do not make swim suits.....

I have those magical pants from Target and I love them! I wear them constantly (and have them on right now!)
my sis also switched from the boppy! I'm so glad I'll have so much knowledge!
what a great post! thank you so much for this! i've starred it in my google reader. i'm so happy to hear you and baby girl are doing so well!
Thanks for introducing me to the GlamourMom tanks! They look great!
You're right, Spanx should totally make swimsuits!
I'm not a mom, but I love some of your picks! Totally agree ... cardigans are the best!
Re: Spanx with a bathing suit, you've gotta see this (at about 25 seconds in): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9YBx6jx6vs&feature=player_embedded
I love it! I am not a mom yet, but I appreciate hearing about the new mom "must haves!"
I hope you have a great day!
I still need to meet your little bundle of joy!!!
I'll have to keep this items on my list for when we have little bambinos.
Hugs!
I just ordered a glamormom tank and got it on Monday- Can't wait to wear it. I agree about cardigans- if it doesn't unzip or unbutton- I can't deal with it...
My feet are back to normal now, but I did have a few weeks of totally swollen legs- they were insane- I should have tried flip flops. Now that I am back at work I have had issues with dressing my "still very much in progress" body, so I may have to try a wrap dress.
Woot on the pants!
