I guess that's a pretty good example how everyone's needs are different, huh?

Children: Nichole | Re: Baby's shopping list and reviews | | depends. I personally used mine the day my milk came in and thats it. I was majorily engorged!!! It was bad! But my dd never took pumped milk so for me, no.
Now if you plan to go back to work, then YES YES YES!!!!!!! Please get yourself a good one. Ameda is great, so is Medela. Do not get a cheap one if you are going to work. |

As they get older yes they will need more. | I second this! The only thing I would suggest beyond diapers and a car seat is a sling. It made my life so much easier. For a while my son (baby #2) would NOT sleep unless he was being held. So, I strapped him to me and worked while he slept. I realized how different my life has become since baby #1. The house revolved around her. Now I know how to fit my children into the rhythm of the house. I realized this when I was making homemade tortillas with a 5 month old sleeping on my chest...
Oh, and cloth diapers will save you SO much money!! Just don't buy the ones at Wal-Mart, they don't work. Go to wildflowerdiapers.com and get some good ones. They are pricey, but they will last you a lifetime!
