    If you are breastfeeding

    • breast pump
    • breast pads
    • nipple cream
    • nursing bras,/li>
    • 2-4 bottles with nipples and caps
    • Breast milk storage bags and/or bottles

    If you are formula feeding

    • 8-12 bottles with nipples and caps
    • bottle brush
    • bottle sterilizer
    In both cases you will need plenty of burp cloths

    Aside from nursery needs you will also need:

    • A carseat is an absolute must!

    • Stroller (I love the carseat/stroller combos)

    • A baby "kangaroo" carrier
