List of Essentials to Stock Up On Before Baby Comes Home

Target runs are about to be harder, and (gasp!) less fun once your little one makes his or her appearance. So, make your postpartum life a little (okay, a LOT) easier, by stocking up on these essentials before having your baby. This post contains affiliate links which means that if you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Each product linked is what we personally used (and liked!) postpartum. If your spouse is the helping type, kick your (probably swollen) feet up, and send them to the store with the PDF shopping list at the bottom of this post.
