We switched over to rascal and friends about 6 months ago and haven't looked back.
Pros
You get more diapers per box as compared to huggies/Pampers
The sizing is larger, for the last 6 months we've only gone through size 4 and 5 diapers
I haven't had a single diaper tab rip off when I do it up
No leaks at night!!!!!
My only con is the leg holes are too large and without pants/onesie on the diaper will move to one side slighty and if she pees, it goes right down her leg... This has been happening much more often now since she's discovered how to get undressed by herself.

At about 1 month old, if my daughter as really over tired I could not put her down. The boba came in so handy. I'd wrap myself up, put her in and then do squats and she would instantly calm down.
It was extremely hard for me to figure out from the instruction book exactly how it should be wrapped. So I looked it up on youtube and was able to figure it out.
As for going out somewhere. It is very awkward to try and wrap it around yourself while out in public. I found that If I put it on before going out, I was prepared incase of a screaming fit while walking around a store.

Boons Drying Grass
It's cute... but soooo small. The packaging says it hold 12 bottles..... not 12 wide mouth bottles. I can get maybe 9 to fit, if I'm lucky and once it's filled with the bottles there is nowhere to put the nipples, caps, rings, vents or whatever... +
It's cute... but soooo small. The packaging says it hold 12 bottles..... not 12 wide mouth bottles. I can get maybe 9 to fit, if I'm lucky and once it's filled with the bottles there is nowhere to put the nipples, caps, rings, vents or whatever else comes with the bottle. You have to buy the flowers or stems sperately just to get everything on the rack...
I should have just bought a regular old dish rack and made it work.

I love this deodorant/antiperspirant. Even though it has the bad stuff ...Aluminium - It is the only thing that works for me. I started using it about 10 years ago and I haven't had a problem with sweat or any sort of odor since.
I've tried all the secret clinicals - different scents and solids/softs - I prefer the invisible solid in the completely clean scent.
it is on the more expensive side but well worth it.

I added this tub to my registry, not knowing how big it really was. It is HUGE. total length of it is 3 feet.
I liked that it had the newborn part built right in, but once I started using it I didn't like that part. It's all plastic so baby slips and slides - I have to put a towel in the tub for baby to sit on.
I tried using it in several different ways, on the bathroom floor beside the tub - filling it up takes way too long and the water gets cold quickly.
I put the baby tub in our tub - Soaker tub is too deep to lean over.
In the stand alone shower - Shower not large enough and the tub has to be on an angle, makes trying to wash and hold baby awkward.
It just became easier to fill the bottom of the shower with some water and bathe baby that way.

I had a horrible reaction to eos lip balm - rash, cracked, blistering, bleeding, dry lips. it was horrible. It took about a month to clear up and in that time I needed something to keep my lips hydrated to stop the constant cracking.
I decided to try Nivea lip balm. It worked great. Kept my lips moisturized and stopped the pain. I went through 4 tubes of it the whole time my lips were healing.
This is now my go to lip balm.

I loved these, for a long time. I bought every single one that came out.
The mint one was my favourite. My most used one and the one I had to repurchase most often. Until I was one of the unlucky people that got the dry, cracked, blistering, bleeding lips.
I had just bought a brand new one, opened it and put it on my lips ... INSTANT BURNING and the next morning there as a huge rash all around my lips. It progressively got worse over a week and it took about a month to clear up. During that month, I went through 4 tubes of Nivea lip balm just trying to keep my lips from cracking any more than they already had.

I saw these on shark tank and I wanted to like them. My mother-in-law bought 3 of them for me before my daughter was born. She bought 3 different sizes - extra small, medium, and large. On the website it says that the extra small is 3-6 months or 10-16lbs.
My daughter was born 8lbs 4oz, so it was going to be a bit before she could fit in them..... However, she did not like being swaddled from birth.... but I tried the extra small when she as 10lbs and it was HUGE on her. So I waited and tried it again when she was 15 lbs and it was still big on her. Now at 18lbs, its just right.... but she really doesn't like it.
At $33 each, I'm glad I wasn't the one that bought them

Munch mitt
It is a great product. I like it and my daughter likes it...... but she likes chewing on her hand more. Since I only bought 1, she will just chew on the hand that doesn't have the mitt. For the price, I think it should include 2 mitts.

I don't know where I would be without this. I received it as a gift from my baby shower and we use it every single day. In the early weeks my daughter would sleep in it at night and throughout the day for her naps.
She wasn't a fan of the swing or bouncy chairs. No matter what mood she is in, I can put her in the rock n play and she'll be asleep in minutes. It folds up and is portable so I take it when we visit family and I drag it from room to room at home. Some nights we bring it into the bedroom when she doesn't want to sleep in her crib.
it has the smart connect technology, so through the app I can control the music, rocking speed and vibration. I usually set the music for how long her naps are because she will wake up if the music stops.
Pro and Con - the seat is at a slight angle so it's great for a baby with reflux or when they spit up a bit..... But because its at that slight angle, my daughter had figured out how to pull herself into a sitting position at 3 months old.
the only thing I don't like is - since it is something we use everyday, it has started to creak while rocking.
