As a first time mom, it can be confusing as to what you’re really going to need once your baby arrives. At least for me I know it was. A lot of things you end up getting, you’ll never use. The best advice I can give a first time mom when it comes to baby gear, is the simpler the better. Baby’s don’t require much when it comes to “stuff”. I mean the obvious things such as diapers, clothing, food (formula or breast milk), a place to sleep, car seat, stroller, etc. are a given. When I had my second baby, I had a much better idea of what I was going to need, and quite a few things were hand me downs from big brother Jack! I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite items (with the Dockatot and babybjorn bouncer being life savers!;)), which you can shop HERE
