as for all first-time moms, we want to know what we need for the big day. we all know that babies need feeding gear, sleeping gear, health and grooming kit, etc. but which ones? what brands are recommendaded? what are the "needs" vs. "wants"?
so far, i have an initial list for the first 3 months. they say that the rest can be bought on a as-need basis. also, to wait until after the baby showers before hoarding on too much baby stuff. babies grow fast, and they won't get to use everything you buy them (if they do, only for a very short while)!
