People have asked...

People have been asking where Wyatt and I registered Baby Poist's wish list of items. We've registered at Babies R Us which is the only baby store that carries everything. We've tried to select the items which most parents seem to have in their collection of must haves for their children. Anyone with suggestions for an item we have overlooked or really will need with an infant please leave a suggestion! Our parenting thoughts at the moment are:
  1. Co-sleeper to cut down on baby and momma stress during the first few months when feeding at night is necessary.
  2. Cloth diapering mixed with some flushable disposables (actually we can compost the wet but not the poopy ones). Essentially we don't want to be filling the landfills with diapers as well as we want our little one to have a happy tushie!
  3. Laundry will be part of our lives so if it takes six onesies to get through the day so be it.
  4. Breastmilk will be main nutrition unless the baby needs other nutrition. Of course once it is okay to introduce solids we will begin that process.
  5. A stroller that converts to a pram for trips to friends and trips to school so that if sleep is needed then we have the bassinet ready.
  6. If not needing a sleep option, Baby Poist will ride in style in either Eli's or Wyatt's baby bjorn carrier getting a good view of the world in front! This also frees up arms for diaper bag, hands for walking Holliday, or for doing some grocery shopping.

In short we have grand schemes and plans for parenting that will all change the minute our child makes an appearance outside of the womb!

We'll be new parents, so advice is welcome.
