Don’t know where to start?
Don’t worry! We’re here. Most first-time parents get so excited about having their first baby and want to have all the latest gadgets. The truth is, most babies don’t need a whole lot. While hand-me-downs are great for clothes, toys, and strollers, they aren’t so great for things like pacifiers, bottle nipples, or hygiene items. The items below are tried-and-true from dozens of first- and second-time moms alike. This is your basic must-have list!
