According to Babies R' Us, you "must have" 191 items to prepare for baby! Not true, friends. I spoke to real moms to get the scoop on what to buy, borrow and skip when it comes to prepping for baby. Watch the segment on FOX 28 Good Day Columbus, or read the full story at Mint.com
Here's the rundown:
BUY: Crib mattress, infant car seat and bases, bottles/nipples, digital ear thermometer, baby monitor, jogging stroller. ANYTHING that helps baby (and you), sleep!
BORROW: Breast pump, jumpy seats, bounce-a-roos, exersaucers, boppy pillow, bumbo.
SKIP: Warmers, glider rockers, grocery cart covers, high-end baby tubs, hygiene kits (you'll get better tools thru your hospital)
