Sometimes it is hard to remember all of the things needed for your little one. Here is a checklist for
you. We do not carry the feeding items and a few others, but you WILL need these items!
The items we do carry will be linked.
Diaper Bag (large for 0-5 months, smaller for 6-18 months)
Bottles - at least a starter kit of ten 8 ounce, five 4 ounce. When choosing your bottles make sure to buy
the less air type for baby. This will reduce colic and many other problems such as reflux and ear aches.
Bottle sanitizer if no dishwasher. We only suggest this because it seems boiling today's bottles warps
the plastic and in most cases ruins the entire bottle.
Extra nipples (4-6 two-packs) - suggested clear silicone nipples.
If breastfeeding - Medela pump (they are the best!), and breast accessories such as creams and pads.

4-8 drool bibs (or burp cloths for infants)
