@aswesing941 A lot of mamas love the Infantino mei tai over the Union -- and it lasts into the toddler years. To use it for a newborn you can roll the waist to make the panel smaller and use a ribbon to cinch the seat down smaller too. Go with your instincts!

@aswesing941 That looks safe but not perfect. "Kissable" for a newborn means you should be able to just tilt your head and reach his. Do you think you could get him an inch or two higher so his head is closer to your collarbone? As for the legs, it looks like all you need to do is grab him...

@aswesing941 (TICKS for safe wearing)[www.schoolofbabywearing.com/Images/TICKS.pdf] The "M" shape is actually only NECESSARY for children with hip dysplasia or a family history of it. Dangling legs won't hurt a "normal" baby. Do you have a pic? Those are most helpful for concerns like this

@sarahsparks Gerber's runs very small. I guess how many you need depends on how obsessive you are about changing the baby, and how often you do laundry. Personally I'm not going to put my daughter through the torture of having her clothes changed because I dribbled milk on her sleeve... some...

@katrina2017 I will switch to rack to the Lawn -- I wasn't even aware there were different sizes until you pointed it out. Just did a bunch of searches and I'm disappointed to learn the Boba can't be used for back carries :( I guess I will do some research and add a woven wrap to the registry...

@dayna We will be living in a small space but we can use my parents' house for storing those things. And yes, it's an issue of not being able to easily afford them ourselves. The grass mat looks pretty awesome. Do you have/use any of the add-ons? And yeah I know babes can be very picky about...

@chargedbyfaith I think I'd rather have the book as I learn better when reading information vs hearing it. Plus I'm sure I can find the relevant excerpt on YouTube if I really need to see it for myself? No baby monitor! We'll be living in tiny spaces for the most part, and I figure if the...

@cat7 Thanks for the great list! I added a thermometer, I'm finding some bowls/plates, I added a line to my mattress blurb about having a memory foam pad to put on top when we convert to a toddler bed, I added a mobile frame in case someone wants to buy that (her Daddy is going to be making an...

@laurendaigle84 Thank you! Go ahead and steal from it as much as you'd like, that's how I managed to build mine so quickly. :)

@redeemed14 I am prepared but I think it's unlikely on my side of the family. Boyfriend's maybe, even probably, but mine? Nope. They're about as practical as it's possible to be. My aunt is throwing the shower specifically "so we can all help you get ready".

[link removed because I added my address] I know I am missing some things people include (such as a TON of burp cloths/prefolds, lots of onesies and other clothes, etc) but I'd rather buy that boring stuff myself and let family/friends buy more interesting, useful items I'd like to own but...
