Necessities for your first baby

[kmyles]

What should I ask for for my baby shower? This is my first baby. I have plenty of time yet, not due until the 14th of January.

They have that list on babiesrus.com also (:

We dropped by Babies R Us and talked to the gal at the registry counter.  She gave us a layette list, and we bought a book from Consumer Reports about baby things, and the Girlfriend's Guide book about baby things.  We then looked over the list from Babies R Us and check marked some things and crossed out others, and then went back to the store and developed our registry.  It's all on the computer, and you walk around the store with a little gun, and it builds your list (you scan the bar code on the items you like).  It's nice, because their list is so complete.  I did appreciate cross-referencing it with the list from Consumer Reports.  The gal behind the counter was also very helpful, telling us which brands of baby seat get the best reviews in the Babies R Us database and all.  If you're near a Babies R Us, I do recommend them.
