Notes -
What is your top baby/kid advice? We are in the third trimester with our first. Revolutionary must have gadget, let them cry it out, co-sleep don't co-sleep, have a closet lined with mirrors to lock them in?
Dont co-sleep, do swaddle, invest in a good carrier and a cheap folding stroller. Get your steps in with the carrier. In terms of stuff, you will simultaneously need more and less than you think. For instance my first slept in a open dresser drawer for his first 6 - 8 months and a milsurp belt pouch will hold a couple of bottles a bag of wet wipes and a simple toy or two which is really all you need 90% of the time.
Why no co-sleep? Suffocation or too dependent of a child? Any suggestion on a good carrier? Everyone around here is all about Baby Bjorn... $239.99, that is a plate carrier...
Re: co-sleep, both.
As far as baby carriers, the one we ended using was a gift, but I'm pretty sure this is it.
I don't know about recommendations, but it (along with a couple molle pouches) did the job, and maybe we just got lucky with both of our kids having reasonably chill attitudes as infants but "wear the carrier and just continue your" life turned out to be a pretty workable plan.
