Besides basics like a crib and carseat...am I missing anything?



































AND PLEASE tell me where I can get cloth diaper covers!!! i cant find them anywhere!!!

What else do I need?
These are the objects I noticed were missing (some are obvious so maybe you just forgot to list them):





Bibs


Baby Wash


Changing Pad and Covers


Swaddlers and Sleepers


Baby Relief Kit


Baby Grooming Kit


No-Scratch Mittens


Crib Sounds Machine (ie - womb noise or nature sounds)


Dreft or other fragrance-free detergent





You may also want to consider a baby book, baby monitor, pack-n-play, stroller, and swing or bouncer.
Reply:You forgot the baby.


Really what did mothers do before all this stuff was invented. You are just a target for the manufacturers and advertising to make loads of money out of. Babies survived very well before when there was very little so please reduce your carbon foot print and cut the list of Must Haves.
Reply:You mentioned diapers, but not wipes. Do you have those yet?
Reply:I had to order diaper covers online, I couldn't find them at any stores either. Just google "cloth diapers", you'll get all kinds of sites. I forgot the names of the sites I used, i think softclothbunz.com and babylane.com.





dont forget a diaper pail, baby friendly detergent, pak n plays are great to have, playmats for tummy time, swing
Reply:how about toys? like little rattles or stuffed animales that play music. even at 2 wks my baby loves to be held and stare up at this butterfly rattle as i shake it and talk to her. and i have this pink hippo that plays music that winds up. she loves to fall asleep watching and listening to it aswell. both calm her right down. i cant say if your baby will even like music or rattles but its better to have that trick up your sleve than nothing at all. best of luck and congrats ^_^








oh and what about a baby book? photo album? camera? scrap book stuff? formula? nursing bras?








and i know its kinda out there but i cant stress how important figuring out what your going to eat for the first 2 wks. making meals and freezing them or getting all the take out menus you can. making a list for your hubby if your the one who normally goes shopping. your not going to have time to cook let alone go shopping.
