I’m a list person. Even before becoming a rockstar stay-at-home mom, I’ve always been a fan of lists—grocery lists, to-do lists, bucket lists, you name it! My type A personality craved order and organization, and list-making was a surefire way to help me achieve just that. Barely a week after I added “mom” to my portfolio, I learned that the list I made was no newborn checklist after all—it was a shitlist! Nothing—not even my newborn baby starter kit— prepared me for the soul-crushing, mountain-moving, universe-imploding journey that was to come!
When buying clothes for your newborn, common sense trumps fashion sense. Babies don’t need a huge variety of cute and colorful outfits for the first few weeks of life because they grow up really fast. So for now, your top priority should be keeping baby safe and comfortable.
