[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you!

Culturally we don't do the baby shower until after the 7th month so I'm a bit worried about all the supply chain issues so want to make sure we have the essentials purchased at home. Does one need a stroller with a newborn? (clearly a first time mom here)[/quote]

You don't need a stroller. I brought my newborn in my arms into a lactation consultant/family doctor because I was too lazy to haul the stroller out of the trunk and she actually complemented me because newborns are supposed to be carted around in the slumping C position as minimally as possible. Typically people use the car seat strollers which have the baby in the C position. If you like you can get a fully reclining/flat stroller but it is not essential. Or you can get a wrap or carrier. On the other hand with covid it is nice to have a cover over baby.

If you want to be really prepared and you feel unsure of yourself one of the best things to do would be to read What to Expect First Year as well as your carseat manual and the portion of your car manual that talks about carseats.[/quote]

Op here. Good to know- I'll check out that book.[/quote]
