How many do you think is a good supply? I think we have like 15. That’s probably laundry every day though right?

Yes, laundry all the time. Get some oxiclean free and clear and a bucket for soaking poop stains

BIZ powder works wonders

- Baby 411 - get it now and peruse before baby is born
- A bunch of t-shirts/sweatshirts that you don't care about tossing when they get stained with spitup and breastmilk
- Spectra S1
- Baby pajamas with zippers, not snaps
- Halo swaddle sacks
- Nose Frida + Windi
- Boppy Lounger or something similar

This is a good suggestion. I bought one when DD was 3 months old or so, and I am still using it 4 years later (not for diapers, but for wet wipes for other messes in her room). Not the first thing I think of, but then I haven't had to shake a wipe out of a container in years so I guess that's why.

Beaded hot / cold pack if you plan to nurse. Can make it warm to help get milk flowing unclog ducts or cold to slow milk / ease engagement. For the baby, baby kimonos. So much easier to do a side snap than to pull things up get their heads that might have barf, blowout poop, or both on them. My girls lived in kimono tops with little stretch pants.
