Swaddle or receiving blankets.<br /><br />These are without a doubt the five things I use every day. I don't think anything else I have I use daily. I think the more stuff you collect, the more you might use. But you would be amazed at how you can get by with very little. Or how much you can manipulate something you already own to complete the task at hand. I need to add car seat to the list even though i don't use that every day.<br /><br />It totally depends on your plans. I find I don't need too many burp cloths (I have some really nice ones my cousin made for me), and I just use random washcloths or hand towels if I can't find one. But I think bottle fed babies might spit up more.<br /><br />I have a Boppy. It's nice, but I don't use it everyday. <br /><br />Also- it's not like you can't ever leave your apartment once the baby comes. You might want to hold off buying a bunch of stuff until you can assess your needs. A newborn does not need much aside from boob, diapers, place to sleep. I bought our stroller a couple of weeks after she was born. She is one month old and I have yet to use most of the baby stuff I've managed to collect.<br /><br />Good luck!Chrissyhttp://adventuresinbaby.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145666282951035766.post-16806836049757118502011-10-13T15:02:25.438-04:002011-10-13T15:02:25.438-04:00An assisted swaddle blanket - one that velcroes or...An assisted swaddle blanket - one that velcroes or zips - because swaddling with a regular blanket is tricky and because swaddling is the difference between sleep and NO sleep.Beatrixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145666282951035766.post-50061204253511991812011-10-13T12:09:27.011-04:002011-10-13T12:09:27.011-04:001) Something to sleep in (crib, bassinet, etc.)

She had converted her cozy reading area off the living room and made it a baby room. They put in big see through sliding doors and had a crib, changing table and rocking chair. It was actually the perfect amount of stuff.<br /><br />I am in love with the Container Store. If you go there and even hire a consultant ($150.00 sometimes) they can make suggestions to maximize your space for a new addition.<br /><br />The real question - is what if you have 2???Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369126854723736424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145666282951035766.post-28702834851227229702011-10-13T11:00:23.043-04:002011-10-13T11:00:23.043-04:00The boppy.

There are a lot of similar nursing pillows out there that probaby work just as well, but I went with the boppy on the recommendation of a friend and it's fantastic. A regular throw pillow won't work. And whether you're nursing or bottle feeding - it takes a while and your arms get tired. I should probably get commision from the Boppy people...HA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
