Binkie, paci, sucker, or pacifier, whatever you call it, it's an important piece of equipment for many newborns. There are many options available, and while they might all look the same during an emergency drugstore run at 3 a.m., when the baby just won't settle, all pacis are not created equal.
Keep reading for a selection of suckers that will help calm baby's cries and soothe mama's nerves.
Subsequent babies get lots of newborn hand-me-downs, but parents should double check their items to make sure they are still safe. In the time that passes between one tot's use and the next, goods may have been recalled or held to new safety standards.

A new parent is often amazed at how much gear one tiny baby requires, but some items are more essential than others. I asked you ladies to share a few of your newborn essentials for mommies and daddies-to-be on TeamSugar and there were some great finds.
User Ericka shared her must have for new parents — Long Sleeve Side Snap Shirts. Not only will they keep your wee one bundled up, the mittens will cover her nails so she doesn't scratch herself, and the side snaps make it easy to put on while you're still getting comfortable handling your new babe.

New parents are bombarded with things to do before their newest family member arrives, but one of the most overwhelming parts is figuring out what to buy.
Help out expectant moms and dads by sharing your ideas for newborn essentials that parents-to-be will want to have on hand before the baby comes, or soon there after. From a swing to bottles to binkies, the list is long but it's also a lot of fun. Bookmark your find on TeamSugar and if you tag your finds as "Newborn Essentials," I'll do a recap of everyone's picks next week. I already added the Boppy Pillow ($30), as well as the scary, but helpful Newborn Nasal Aspirator ($2). Feel free to add as many as you'd like.
