Because links rock!
Drool and Spit Up Bandanna Bibs - these were our favorite. We used them almost immediately on our son because he spit up so much (he soaked through 7-10 of these a day, which would have meant 7-10 outfit changes without them!). I thought bibs weren't needed until they started eating (ha, cute Ernie, real cute). But no - these are absorbent and catch allthespitup and allthedrool and they snug up beautifully underneath the chin, which helps keep the moisture away from neck rolls (unlike U shaped bibs that don't snug up quite as well). There are literally hundreds of prints and manufactures all over Amazon - we had +/- 30 of them total from different sellers and they were all the exact same quality/pattern/fit.
My son's daycare provider preferred these cloth bibs as opposed to the bandanna bibs. I don't know why - they were just easier for her. They're cloth on both sides with an impenetrable crinkly plastic sandwiched between. Bonus - the crinkle entertained my son and he loved to shove these in his mouth and scrunch them.
Daycare also preferred these cloth bibs over the bandanna bibs. They're cloth like above but single layered with no plastic backing. They worked better for drool than spit up, but I still preferred the bandanna bibs.
Once my son started eating we were all about the silicone bibs. I liked these - they folded up small for the diaper bag, were easy to wash, easy to get on and off, and they fit well from about 6 months to... meh... 13ish months (though my son was routinely in the 20-30th% percentile for weight at this age).
Once my son outgrew those we went to these guys. They're bigger and have a bigger trough that stays open to catch food better. I love these. We have 4 in rotation. They're perfect. I have absolutely no complaints. My son is now in the 45th% range for weight at 15 months and they're perfect size.
EZPZ mini mat - we use it for every meal and when we go out to eat so he has a clean surface.
Silicone bibs with pockets - so easy to clean
Feeding Littles Instagram - a ton of good ideas and helpful supportive advice
Cups - munchkin 360 cup and the weighted straw cup

YAYS:
Chux pads, hands down, were the best purchase we made. Those saved us so much laundry and so many diapers. The link is hit or miss - one box we got was great and quilted, the second box was not quilted and they fall apart more easily. Which really sucks because we're not going through several a day anymore, so it has time to really fall apart before it gets soiled. Even the shitty ones are incredibly helpful.
A Haakaa breast milk catcher. Best money I've ever spent. I stopped using it every day at 11 months PP. 11 months of daily use.
An electronic nail file. I cut too close once, and decided I don't ever want to do that again. It's quiet, it has a little light on it, two speeds, and a bunch of different nail heads.
Stacking cups. Don't know why we even have other toys. Did you know you can throw them and chase after them and then throw them again, mom? You can put them inside each other! You can put them in the toy basket and then take them out and then put them back in again! You can knock them down when mom & dad foolishly stack them up! You can clack them together! You can bang them against EVERYTHING!!
This inflatable tub. It has a little shoehorn for the crotch so you can use it before baby can totally sit up by themselves. We're still using it because my child is dead set on committing suicide in the bathtub.
Sleeved bibs. Or as we like to call them, eatin' ponchos. We got some "art smock" cheaper ones to alternate with, but the Bumkins one is 👌👌👌 so much better. The art smocks are fabric-y on the body, so they stain.
A ring sling. No link because I actually borrowed from my local babywearing community. But I checked out a ring sling back to back to back. My chonker outgrew the Moby wrap I had (which was super hot and a PITA to get on and off) by 3 months when I finally discovered ring slings. Ring slings are like the cool, breezy older sister.
A yoga ball. We spent hours bouncing our child.
NAYS:
This Graco Swing. Well, any swing, but this is the one we had. Of the several swings at daycare, my baby tolerated one kind...for a few minutes. Obviously this is a my baby thing.
A walker. We got one used from a garage sale before we realized they're not really recommended for babies anymore.
Any chew-toy specific type teether.
We ended up getting a bib like the one below. Ours had snaps so it can go flat or make a pocket. It's a god among bibs.

Not this exact kind, but Amazon seem to have similar ones for about five bucks.

Hola hotpinkfishfood! Welcome back! I was also MIA for a little while and I am back as well....at least as much as life lets me be....
you can never have too many of these
http://www.amazon.com/Dex-Baby-Dura-Mouth-Frog/dp/B005M4SKK6/ref=pd_sim_75_2/187-3880352-7256318?ie=UTF8&dpID=51ntyUJBXVL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=063Q2QNKQ54GHA6FZJ3B
I would definitely recommend getting some silicone bibs with the pouch at the bottom. Baby always drops about half his meal into the pouch, then reaches in to eat what dropped down. It saves a lot of food from falling on the floor!
We have these and like them: https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Healthy-Parent-Silicone-Easily/dp/B06XCXRVVW/ but I have also seen similar ones at Target. We also have a more fabric-type bib with a pouch, but it doesn’t work as well.
Once your baby starts eating food-food, the Dex Baby Dura-Bib is the best bib known to man.
Also, Dr. Sears The Family Nutrition Book is an excellent resource in every house.
You are such a sweet sister!! Things I have had to recently run out and purchase for my 6-week old:
Gerber 0-3 or 3-6 month footie sleepers/pajamas that ZIP instead of button because trying to figure out buttons or snaps at 3:00 AM is torture
Tons of bibs-Amazon has some really cute bandana looking ones that have two sizing snaps so that bebe can use it now and as they grow

Covers for my baby's car seat straps-

Lastly... what I would really love is someone to bring me dinner one night! I don't know if your sister works, but I have gone back to work now and cooking a meal when I get home is the last thing I want to do, I'd rather spend that time snuggling my baby! Maybe you could send a restaurant gift card so they could order take out? Would love a cleaning service, but that is pretty expensive.
Sorry about the prices... but these are fully silicon and snap with silicon buttons. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WFFFYZO/ref=twister_B07BP316SM
Got you covered, fam.
Wow, thanks for all the advice!
I wish I could tell what size these were. And I wish there were non-gendered bib sets! They had both a boy and a girl, so I wish there was just a red-orange-yellow-green-blue-purple set, which would be nice an unisex. This is a unisex as I could find.
