biased as an investor, but cradlewise has been life-changing - an all-in-one smart crib that automagically bounces the baby back to sleep (not to mention no need for nanit or hatch!).
this is an incredible device for mom to get comfortable with birth. start using a month before due date. only available in europe, india, and a few other places, so need to get a friend or loved one to bring into the US for you.
in the early days, babies have a lot of snot from drinking milk. then, when they go to daycare/school, they get sick, a lot. the snot sucker is your best friend - shocking how much we use it.

jen was our wonderful lactation consultation, who helped a lot in the week after we brought shreya home. recommend chatting with her prepartum, to schedule a postpartum home visit during week 1.
