4believe us. Personal favorites are the
Maclaren Triumph single stroller
(so light! so
foldable!) and the
Phil & Ted’s in-line double stroller
(not so light or easily
foldable, but the non-double-width, strong frame and fantastic steering more than
make up for the bulk). If you are really tempted by the
“travel
system” type, be
warned -- the convenience of snapping a car seat into the stroller is often negated
by the overall mediocrity of the stroller, and the realization that oh my God, you
are lugging and pushing around 30 pounds of stroller and seat for seven pounds of
baby. For the second time round, to streamline, go with the stroller frame or just a
sling/carrier any time you go anywhere that doesn’t require the double stroller.
**But don't buy these MUCH later. Get both right off the bat if you've got the
room, otherwise wait and see if your baby seems to calm down while bouncing or
swinging.

Plain
prefold cloth diapers
for burp rags (four or five packages, at least, and
don't bother with the "pretty" shoulder rags and lap pads. Cloth diapers rock, and
you will STILL be using those suckers for every mess your child manages to make
for years to come.)
Bibs
(small absorbent ones for infant drool and spit-up, larger pocketed ones for
solid feeding)
Breast
pads,
(Avent nursing pads
are great for leaks, the gel varieties like
Soothies/
Lilypadz
are lifesavers for sore/chafed nipples)
Nipple cream ointment
Nursing pillow
(You'll never get a consensus on these -- some mothers love
them, some never use them. Some love the
Boppy
and others swear by the
My
