Baby Advice to My Future Self

1. Buy newborn clothes. Charlotte only had like 3 newborn outfits and her first month she was not a stylish baby.

2. Use NB Pampers the other brands have issues. Once she is out of the NB diapers use Kirkland brand they are a good deal and will last until she 15 lbs.

3. Pampers Sensitive wipes are the softest.

4. Breastfeeding is a pain! Use cream, storage bags, jell packs and breast pads.

5. Wide neck bottle work best!

6. Mam pacifiers seem to do the trick. Try to buy the 0-2 month ones they are smaller.

7. Get a detachable car seat!

8. Play yards are the best ever!

9. Keep extra pacifiers in the car, for emergencies.

10. Don't leave the house with out extra clothes.

11. Keep extra everything in the car!

If you want to add to the list just comment and I will add it.

I don't have anything to add really but I agree with everything but the breastfeeding stuff since I don't do that! :) When are you gonna post pics of the inside of your house!!??

Yes, I agree with almost everything you said! Have you ever tried Kirkland's wipes? They are the softest I've found, and I won't buy anything else.

Maybe you should add the things that you thought you needed, but didn't end up using (we never use our diaper genie, didn't need a whole nursery set, etc.).

I second the comment about Kirkland wipes - they're awesome! I also find it extremely helpful to keep a little changing station on each floor (we're in a townhouse) to cut down on running all over the house to change a diaper or clean up spit-up. Also... who needs clorox wipes when you have baby wipes? They're awesome for cleaning anything!

that's a pretty good list :) *always carry snacks in your bag (gerber puffs are the best)
*get a car caddy for all those little things baby needs, so you don't have junk all over your car! (which I will design and make here pretty soon)
*keep your kids on a good schedule..especially if you have more than one, try to keep their nap schedules at the same time
that's it for now that I can think of :)
