Baby Shopping Guide-2

Feeding

For formula feeding

The necessities:
____ 8 or so bottles with newborn nipples (try several brands to find the one your baby prefers)
____ Bottle-cleaning brush or a dishwasher basket
____ Bottle-drying rack
____ Several weeks' worth of baby formula to start
____ 6 or more cotton bibs
____ 6 or more burp cloths (cloth diapers do the job)
____ Insulated cooler/carrier for outings
It's nice to have:
____ Dry formula dispenser
____ Bottle sterilizer
Strictly optional:
____ Bottle warmer (heating in hot water takes the same amount of time)
____ Bottle proper (unless you have multiples and use it sparingly when you can't otherwise feed all the babies at once)

    For breastfeeding

    The necessities:
    ____ Nursing pillow
    ____ 2-3 nursing bras
    ____ 2-3 boxes of nursing pads
    ____ 6 or more cotton bibs
    ____ 6 or more burp cloths (cloth diapers do the job)
    It's nice to have:
    ____ Breast pump (electric if you'll use it every day at work, otherwise a hand pump is fine)
    ____ Breast milk storage bags or containers
    ____ Several bottles and nipples if someone else will be feeding baby pumped breast milk
    ____ Nipple cream (for the first few weeks)

      Solid-food feeding

      The necessities (not an issue until 4 to 6 months):
      ____ High chair
      ____ Plastic bibs
      ____ Infant feeding spoons
      ____ Infant bowl
      It's nice to have:
      ____ Mess mat for under the high chair
      ____ Baby food mill (if you're ambitious enough to puree your own baby food)

The first time I saw an advertisement of a 9 month old reading words printed on “educational” flashcards, I was fascinated to see a young baby doing such an advanced task. But was this baby really reading? If you search the internet for information on this topic, you can find as many claims that babies can be taught to read as articles refuting this claim.
