I haven't tried the My Brest Friend yet. I did borrow a LeachCo Cuddle-U pillow from a friend and hated it.
What weight limit does your swing go up to? Our older son took naps in the swing for a long time, and he would usually sleep in the swing all night. We transitioned him to the crib full-time around 6 months. That was also around the time he started on solids and didn't spit up as much (he did have reflux).
You might think this is unsafe, but we put one of these pillows in the crib as well as pack and play to transition him:

It kept his head elevated and gave the snuggle feeling, and he couldn't slide down because of the insert, and we also had his feet against the edge of the crib or pack and play. If it makes you feel more comfortable, do it supervised for nap time first. There's a customer image here:

You want to create sleep associations with the crib or pack and play, and eventually you can take away the incline. After our son got proficient at rolling over, he happily slept on his tummy in the crib.
I would actually get the onsie in a 3-6 month size. Most people get new moms clothes in 0-3 months so I go up at least one size when I buy a gift. Also check out the comments on the onsie if they have it as some infant clothes sizes are crazy wrong.
I have a lot of friends who are pregnant or just a baby in the last couple of years and was a Nanny for over 10 years and I buy one traditional gift for the baby and the rest are gifts that are not the 'norm. Depending on how much money you want to spend here are some ideas: mani/pedi or massage for mom (Groupon is great!), restaurant gift cards that deliver, house cleaning services, baby massage class, box of healthy snacks especially for breastfeeding moms,
Here are some more traditional but still very useful gifts parents might not know about that I posted somewhere else.

Plush pacifier: I get this for almost everyone because you loose so many pacifiers and it keeps it in the baby's mouth.

Cuddle-U Nursing Pillow- looks like a boppy but it does so much more. I really like to give this to parents because you're not supposed to lay infants straight on there backs after feeding so you prop them up with this. It helps with spit ups, gas, and colic.
