Newborn needs

A group of Choice Moms on the discussion board have been offering tips on must-have items for the newborn months. One woman is compiling the list and we will make it available soon on the ChoiceMoms.org website in the BECOMING section.

But this particular post seemed especially apt, submitted by J Moran:

required
1) two arms
2) two breasts
nice to have:
3) a boppy
4) a "carrier" (sling or other)
5) lots of "onesies"
extra:
5) a mini pack n play (takes up less space and holds your child until
they are at least 1 maybe 2)

that's about it, really. all they need is you!
