Tell me what you couldn't live without? I have no idea where to begin! My youngest niece was born 5 years ago so I feel so unprepared to even start thinking about it!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

Also, some sort of white noise or lullabies and a nightlight for motn feeding. Bibs...we used them as drool and spit up catchers in the beginning. I really liked having a "survival" kit with Tylenol, orajel, gripe water, gas drops and saline drops because when you need the meds for the first time you probably won't want to run to the store! In the beginning her bouncy seat and boppy were lifesavers!

Pack n play, easy outfits, hats and socks in preemie!! I had to make a huge preemie haul, I had none.
Burp cloths, if you're nursing get the bras and tanks!
The Medela pump has 5oz bottles, but I can get about 6oz each boob in the early am so I went and bought bigger bottles yesterday, just to catch more milk.
Tonsssss of diapers. We use a pack in two days. Ugg!
We have used a lot of swaddles. We like the miricle blanket. We also have a couple Velcro ones we use. Couldn't live without them!

@Venti29, a pack of diapers in 2 days? Holy crap (pun intended). I've been thinking about the big things we need and not little things like diapers. It doesn't seem like such a little thing now!

Our baby goes through about one diaper every two hours! I heard it slows down after a couple week, but yes! It is a ton of diapers! We had to order a bigger trash can from waste management.
