I'm about to be a first time mom and the amount of stuff out there (most of which I have never ever even heard of before) is overwhelming. I have a well-decorated house and value my aesthetics, and so do not want to buy all of this baby junk that will make me feel like I live at a day care. Thank you for all this great advice. It is refereshing to hear that I can repurpose certain things to be used for several tasks instead of purchasing a separate item for each. For example, nursing cover / baby blanket - same exact thing. Why I need to purchase and cart around one of each is beyond me. You offer a much needed minimalistic approach. This is so helpful!

They are VERY easy to clean! I used the bumbo a little, but it is such a short time, just borrow or get a used one. They are VERY easy to clean!
