Baby list

*This is a basic List of items needed for your little one. Not every one will need/ use everything listed here.
*By each Item is a general research and average of the number you  will need, Some it will be more other less.
*For Items such a rash creams/ointments, soaps, lotions, ECT... If at all possible get a Trial/Sample/Travel size.
that way you can see if you like the product and it works with baby or not.
*Also going Sent free items are nice (babies have sensitive skin and some perfumes can be to much)
* For Formula be sure to check expiration date and note the lot number in case of recalls. I do not recomend pre-stocking a lot, it may not agree with baby.
*Items needed for later watch for them to be on sale and clearances in your area to get a good deal!
*All Items are optional as we all have different needs, wants, and just what works best for us.
