We've been really lucky to have so many friends pass along their baby-related items to us. Right now we've got nearly everything on our "essentials list" covered, and we won't need much more to accomodate our newborn. Beyond saving money, we are so happy to be able to exploit the greener options by reusing these items. Given that so many of the things babies need are used for such a short time, it's nice to know we are using a slightly more sustainable option like this!
Thanks to all those who have been so generous in sharing their stuff, from maternity and baby clothes to beds, bouncers, swings, strollers and more!To those who are looking to give a gift, we are hoping to minimize the plastic toys, battery-operated gadgets, and so on. Your help in developing a safe, calm environment for our child is much appreciated! We'd love to be building him a library of favorite books, and we'll provide links here to sites that have the kinds of toys we prefer. Homemade and gently used gifts are also great, of course! In addition, we plan to set up a savings account shortly so we can get a head start on funds for college, or other neat learning opportunities that might come along. We'll provide all that info here when we get it!
