Obvi...I loved your minimalist baby list posts, btw. Obviously we need slightly different things, but I was so glad that I'm not the only one thinks that market's gone crazy!<br /><br />Thank you for the advice. I suppose the only things we <i>need</i> before he's born are something for him to wear, somewhere for him to sleep--and that car seat. ;-) But I like to be prepared! Should've been a Boy Scout, I guess.<br /><br />I am all for buying used and Craigslisting or whatever as much as possible. I just don't have many friends with young children whose stashes I can raid, alas.<br /><br />I plan to start with disposables for the first week or so anyway, just because that seems to be the advice of most cloth diaperers I've read. But I know if I don't have some sort of small stash in place before he's born, I'll just never "get around to" starting, and I'll be kicking myself every time I have to run out and drop thirty bucks on something that's going to get thrown away. :-(<br /><br />Thank you, Kathleen! I really appreciate it. ^_^Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145777024732747573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005299891007362460.post-28061608203156597092012-07-06T15:16:26.847-05:002012-07-06T15:16:26.847-05:00Everybody I know who has one loves their Moby.

And since he'll be born in November, I might actually be happy to have a portable baby furnace strapped to me! ;-)<br /><br />I just have to figure out how to get the darn thing on....Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145777024732747573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005299891007362460.post-20789365611424239962012-07-06T15:15:16.390-05:002012-07-06T15:15:16.390-05:00Those are adorable!

Baby gear drives me crazy, too. You're no...Ugh. Baby gear drives me crazy, too. You're not crazy -- the world of baby stuff is crazy.<br /><br />The only advice I have for you is to remember that (a) you don't have to have everything before the baby is born and (b) you can't REALLY screw it up, unless you drop a ton of cash on something you ultimately find useless. So no $1000 cribs or $180 diaper bags. Otherwise, you can buy/sell/exchange things as you discover your real needs and learn as you go.<br /><br />Also, try to borrow and buy used as much as possible. That way you don't have to suffer major regret when you find out something isn't as great as you had hoped.<br /><br />And I know the cloth diapering thing is mega-overwhelming. My advice there is to buy just one or two of a variety of kinds of diapers and find out what you like best, and THEN invest in a good stash of your favourites. A pack of disposables here and there while you figure it out won't kill your baby or the planet.<br /><br />I don't know if that's helpful. You'll figure it out. You're going to do a wonderful job!Kathleen Quiring | Becoming Peculiarhttp://becomingpeculiar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005299891007362460.post-59529087201255839572012-07-06T09:33:21.014-05:002012-07-06T09:33:21.014-05:00LOVE my Moby.

It's horrible for hot summer days because the last thing you want is a little baby furnace attached to you with a blanket, but it's awesome for the rest of the time. I also loved the Baby Bjorn after age 4 months (but don't pay $80, hit ebay).Annehttp://modernmrsdarcy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005299891007362460.post-57541217009910947242012-07-05T15:34:24.147-05:002012-07-05T15:34:24.147-05:00I know nothing about baby gear either, and I'm...I know nothing about baby gear either, and I'm sure that everyone you talk to will have some sort of opinion, so I'm just going to go with "I dunno"! But I did pin a super fun and easy looking high chair thingy that you can just make yourself and it attaches to any chair. It doesn't have any extra "height" to it, but you could just stick a firm pillow underneath it while he's super short and stuff :-)<br /><br />Check it out, if you like it I'll make you one! http://pinterest.com/pin/69454019223325170/ And if you don't, you have to let me know what else you want so I can make/we can get you something.
