Keywords: delivery is end of March


I need some help from parents who have gone through their
first delivery already.  This is our first child.  It is
due end of March or first week of April.  The only thing
purchased to date is a bassinet.  I will defer buying
a crib until the baby is too big for the bassinet.  I
am going to breastfeed, however, don't I need a bottle
for water or juice?  Should I get a baby carriage or
a stroller?  Are disposable diapers better than cloth ones
both for baby's skin and economically?  What kind of carseat
do most parents recommend for the first few years of life?
What about pacifiers?  Bibs, and other clothing?  Toiletries?

I have Dr. Spock's updated childcare book, but I'd like
to hear from the school of experience.  Many thanks from two
novices.
