Vtech Safe & Sound Video and Audio Monitor.
This is one of my favourite items. We don't use it as much now, but I know it will be a number one item when we put Rayah in her own room. I still use it for when I go into the shower or do things around the house. It's great because it alerts me when possum makes the slightest of noises and I can see what she's doing on the screen, it comes with temperature control, which beeps when the temperature in the room gets too high.

Bumbo.
The bumbo is amazing, it helps infants learn how to sit up, and prepares for stronger backs. I use this when I feed little miss, and also just sparingly throughout the day when I do house chores. I got mine from a dear friend, and I remember I couldn't wait to use it on her. For the ones with little bubbas, the packaging on it says you can use it from when your baby has a steady neck, (and that's exactly what I did).
Silvercross Wayfarer Pram.
What would I do without this. I use it all the time. A good pram is really a must have. It should be easy to unfold and be comfortable when pushing it, along with many other facets, (refer to my stroller review blog for more information). As a first time mum, I highly recommend investing in a good pram.
Phillips Avent bottles.
We use a few types of bottles for munchkin, Nuk, Mothercare and Avent. Avent by far is a favourite, it's good quality, easy to clean and the additional adapter ring helps air flow into the bottle instead of her tummy. Their teats come in different sizes which move up in flow, according to your baby's growth, and munchkin has been holding these bottles her self now as well.
Kate & Hill Bottle warmer.
Mum bought this for me, and I use it all the time. It holds temperature for up to 4 hours. Great for when going out, without having to find a mircowave to heat boiled water.
Nuk feeding spoon.
I didn't realise how important a good spoon was till Miss started to play up during meal times. A good spoon is the difference between getting a good portion of food into her mouth and keeping it in there haha. These spoons have a long handle which is great for mums, saves us from leaning forward when feeding.
Sophie the Giraffe.
Great for teething babies, and always seems to cheer missy up when she's about to fuss. The toy is soft on gums and is the perfect size for their small hands.
Playmat.
The majority of our house is tiled, so it was a must for us to have these soft mats in place. These are inexpensive and I got mine from the $2 shop. I keep all her toys in here, and munchkin knows this is her play area. It's also nice and soft on her head, and at times she will fall asleep on it.
Face & hand towels.
Small towels have been a must have for me, for a while now. I use them for quick clean ups, to wash her face and hands after meals, chuck one in her bag for clean ups on the go and nappy changes when I know things are going get a bit messy, I pop a bum towel underneath her change mat, (saves me from washing either the change mat or change mat cover daily after each change, (and to my surprise I think 3-6 month is when they do the messiest of poos haha). I keep a few towels on hand, ones for different uses.
Sleeping bags.
I find sleeping bags to be the best and safest way to have Missy warm snug without a blanket. I have read enough books and been told countless times by health nurses and the like, about SIDS, and it has freaked me out. We transitioned from swaddles to sleeping bags, and it has worked well for us thus far. I prefer the ones with sleeves for winter.
And that's my top 10 mummy must haves for 3-6 months.

BUMBO! :)
