re: Preparing for Baby...what should I have?

Okay I have a question because I'm a first time mom!! I started purchasing items already for my twins because I might have them before there due date. Is that a good thing or bad thing because my boyfriend wants me to wait but I want to be prepared.

i would say start shopping early for your twins. you can start getting little things now, but wait on bigger things if you plan to have a shower.

Will save room, and be a big help in my opinion!!!!

With my first son I remember reading that the wipes warmers were bad for drying out wipes & some models had been known to catch on fire & were never recalled.

I agree with the baby swing. A battery operated one that cradles the baby is best. Even if you plan on breast-feeding, have some formula on hand just in case...and a breast pump and plenty of bottles with low flow nipples. 

Quoting JenRoyce:“ Okay ladies. Since this is always a topic seen frequently....share what are some must have items for your new bundle!”

pampers are a must and first aid kit uhh sleeper cause there to small to go out and hand sanitizer and lysol

Quoting Mary W:“ With my first son I remember reading that the wipes warmers were bad for drying out wipes & some models had been known to catch on fire & were never recalled.”

yeah those wipe warmers a bad they burn the bottom of the wipes and well the wipes that are at the bottom and pull alot of electricity

well its good and bad just when u buy things by it in big sizes cause at the baby shower you will get newborn things i buy pampers now but i only buy size 2 and three cause babies grow so quickly the clothing that i buy is 3 to 6 months and bigger its good but dont spend too much you might get too much at the baby shower

A co-sleeper!! My son ate every 1-2 hours for his first month and i really dont think i could have walked all the way to his bedroom to breastfeed for an hour!! Having him in the co-sleeper made it SO much easier bc i didn't even have to get out of bed to get him then i could fall asleep while he ate!

Quoting Kelly56:“ I've never heard of a baby wipe warmer either! It's crazy what they come up with nowadays. Can anyone recommend a good brand of Cloth diapers so I can start researching prices soon? thanks!”

Wal mart has good brands, the children place, target and kmart. no point in buying high price cloth they out grow them in no time.

Quoting beautifullyhaunted:“ baby wipes warmer!”

I've never even heard of a baby wipes warmer! are they very expensive and where would I buy one?
