[quote=Anonymous]I definitely second the advice that you should just focus on the first 6 months. One consistent theme I’ve noticed in my friends who are overwhelmed is that they are purchasing items the baby won’t use until 6 months, 18 months, 2 years. And you still have to store it. Amazon and Target will still exist after your baby is here, so you don’t have to buy everything now. I would also be mindful of advice from minimalists, largely because I find that definition varies so so widely. For example, I prefer luxury products and I prefer to buy things ONCE. So we own one high chair, one car seat. I consider myself a minimalist bc I hate excess and any waste. Another friend of mine fancies herself a minimalist because she doesn’t buy gadgets, and would prefer to hand shake formula bottles and put the bottle in a pot of water to warm (as opposed to buying a Brezza). Another friend thinks herself a minimalist because she thinks cribs are a waste. It all varies a ton. [/quote]
