All you need for baby is love and a strappy thing.

When it came to buying the essential baby items, I found the list to be really, really long.  There is so much gear that Babies R Us thinks baby needs.  Bouncy seats, swings, strollers, pack and plays, those things that you put baby in with the overload of sensory toys, etc.  I have found that all you really need is something to strap baby on to you (okay and maybe diapers).  That's where she wants to be. All of those other things are made to make baby forget that she isn't being held.  Finley loves, loves, loves this carrier and so do I.  I can snuggle with her and have my hands free to work around the house.
