I'm sure there are other times that could be included in this list, but these are the items that saw me through the days of when my boys were infants. You don't have to have the latest and greatest for your little one, but you do want all the items you buy to be safe. Review the ratings of products before purchasing to insure there are not recalls or defects. Your baby is bound to excel with such a loving parent.
Happy shopping for your new baby,
Amanda
