Shopping List

Heres a list of items we will need for the first few months!

Here is the original list from the website.

Clothing:
Soft, comfortable clothing with no irritating tags or seams;babies outgrow newborn sizes quickly, so buy big — at least three months ahead.

--One-piece outfits/onesies (4-7)
--One-piece pajamas or nightgowns (4-7)
--Cotton shirts (4-7)
--Sweater or jacket (1)
--Socks and booties (4-7)
--Cap or bonnet (1-3)
--Bibs (4)
--Receiving blankets (4)

Diapers!!
Supposedly 10 to 12 diapers are needed each day during the first few weeks! I plan to use disposables, it is recommend buying at least three large packs (about 150 diapers).

Bottles and nipples:

Crib: Recommended - firm mattress, a couple of sheets, and blankets.

Plastic bathtub:

Getting around:
--Sling: Such carriers actually promote bonding & are better in terms of mobility. Later, when Tweetu begins to sit up, at around 5 or 6 months, we can graduate Tweetu to a baby backpack.
--Reclining stroller: as babies shouldn't be propped upright until they're about 3 months old or until they've developed strong neck muscles.
--Car seat: The law requires that Tweetu sits in a car seat while riding in any car — even on the way home from the hospital.
For a newborn: an infant seat designed to be used until your baby weighs 20 pounds, or a convertible seat, designed to be used by both babies and older children (though not at the same time).
