You've had a baby shower with the associated fanfare. You've raided the stores on shopping sprees for all the baby items you can think of (or can afford). Your nursery has closets stacked to the hilt with tiny clothes and little extras, lovingly lavished upon your baby by Grandma and your entourage.

In terms of envisioning daily life with a new baby, there are a number of everyday items that are seldom seen on a baby shower wish list yet which may prove invaluable to new parents. You may even have one or two already in your possession without having associated them with caring for a baby. If so, take another look and see how these items can help make life with your child a little easier.
