@asdf415 You might buy a couple onesies now than just to alleviate your anxiety, if they don't need them right away, baby will grow into them!

@asdf415 I have heard that Walmart will take any closed diaper boxes for return even without a receipt and you can get store credit for exchange in sizes. As for clothes, if your babe is bigger than expected you'll have plenty of time to order some new clothes online if you don't have a baby...

@mardbein Hi there! So, I can tell you that statistically the most dangerous time for SIDS is considered 2-4 months. To be clear tho, I am not a sleep specialist or a sleep doctor, I am a doula and a childbirth educator so while I spend a lot of my time reading and learning about many many...
