    Pretty good list so far. I think u will definitely need more diapers. My friend had her baby 2 weeks ago and has gone through a full case of nb diapers which is like 12 small bags of diapers. I would invest in a boppy if you are nursing and a soft brissle scalp brush for the baby. A swing is must for me but if u aren't getting one, you should get one of those boucy/vibrating chairs. Also didn't see a pump, bottle or pacifier??.

    Brain fart, I do have a car seat. Nail clippers, thermometer and such is included in the health/grooming kit. Mittens, I believe I am being sent some. @kcike812

    @britni24 Hopefully she doesn't stay in nb for long, if so, the store isn't too far and bf can pick them up on the way home, lol. I just ordered a boppy, forgot about that. Going to exclusively breastfeed till 2 months or so, then once I start working (well before) I am going to pump also, so Im not gunna get one or bottles just yet. Binky is paci to me.

    I would suggest another feeding method as well, just in case. Like a pump, bottles, bottle cleaner, bottle rack, maybe a can of formula. You never know how first time breastfeeding will turn out for you and its nice to have different options if you need a frustration break.

    @Sjmom Im too determined! lol. Im very confident that I will succeed. (not to sound snooty or anything)

    I would also suggest different types of clothing like newborn shirts or gowns. I found those easier to change baby's diaper in the middle of the night.

    Duh prego brain...didn't even see paci on there lol I think its great you are planning to breastfeed exclusively. It is such a good thing to do for your baby. From past experience though, get a cheap pump whether its a $10 hand pump bc your breastd will be really engorged around the third day and you will be begging for one lol. I sent my dad to walmart at midnight to get me one.
  • SjmomSjmom
    Lol you dont sound snooty at all! all the luck to you, your determination will pay off for your little one big time :)
