[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Even if you are planning on breastfeeding, have a little formula and bottles.[/b]  I exclusively breastfeed after the first week, but I needed to supplement in the first week when my milk was coming in.  I know multiple moms who were in thr same boat.  Having it ready to go saves you a stressed out trip to the store.

If you are planning on breastfeeding, look at your insurance.  My pump was free from my insurance.

Diaper rash cream.  Babies seem to respond to different cleans differently do get a couple different kids.

Make sure to have 0-3 clothes and not just Ns. Some kids grow out of thr Ns in a hot second.

Amazon is both your best friend and worst enemy in your first couple weeks.  You end up buying stuff at 2 AM.[/quote]

+1 Breastfeeding if that is what you are going to do does not have to mean that you never bottle feed. It's highly unlikely you will never give your child a bottle (though some people do that and that's cool!). But having been someone who resisted giving formula until 6 months, I am a big believer that a bottle of formula a day from early on can prevent a lot of stress and anxiety.[/quote]

I don’t have any reason to give a bottle of formula every day, but I have some in the basement now because of a health scare. If I ended up in the hospital, the last thing my DH would need would be to have to go buy formula when he ran out of freezer milk. 
But I might never use it, which is okay too. You don’t have to supplement unless you need to or want to. [/quote]
