@Kudlica27 new ones. We use Dr. Brown's and I found bigger packs for cheap on Amazon. I only got 10 of the first level in case baby doesn't like them. If he does, that's enough to get through a day.

Wait a sec. Ten A DAY? So if I'm planning to feed off the boob while on maternity leave and then pump at work but still give exclusively breast milk, for a total exclusive breast milk feeding timeframe of at least six months, how many bottles a day are we talking here?
Methinks we'll have to use our gift cards to purchase far more bottles than we currently have.

That sounds about right for the beginning. We only formula fed and my daughter ate every 2-3 hours or so for a couple months. 10 bottles a day is not an exaggeration.
@DeansGirl14 yup, what @aehogan90 said. When they eat every 2-3 hours unless you want to wash 2x a day. I would say don't buy a bunch of the same kind in case baby doesn't like a particular kind.
STMs - one of my best friends works at honest but is in final rounds of interviews a couple places. She said to make sure I let her know what I want in the next month. I have a few samples of stuff but won't get a chance to try them out before she leaves the company so would love any product recommendations? She said we can get a bunch of size 1 diapers, but what else do you like/not like from Honest for baby (wipes, diaper rash cream, baby bottom wash)?

I LOVE Honest Co Wipes! They are huge, sturdy, and clean well. I wasn't impressed with their diapers. I've heard good things about both the baby bottom wash & diaper rash cream. Hope that helps!
I've tried their sunscreen, detangler and shampoo/body wash. Sunscreen gets the job done and haven't had any problems with it. Detangler made my daughters hair get greasy faster than others I've tried. I ended up using the shampoo to clean make up brushes because the Orange Vanilla version made my daughter get a rash. I have a friend who's son had the same problem with all the Orange vanilla scented products but they just switched to the purple bottle (lavendar maybe?). They use honest company everything for their kids and seem to really like it all. I haven't tried the diapers or wipes yet though I did get a few samples to test out once this little guy is here. I also know a lot of people like their little spray hand sanitizer for the diaper bag.
@MrsVP614. Lurker from July here. Your DH might like the book "The Birth Partner". It was way too much info for my DH but I liked it. (I read it covered to cover)
@DeansGirl14 I EBF while on maternity leave except for the occasional bottle of pumped milk just to make sure each one would take a bottle once I went back to work. Then, at daycare I sent in 3 bottles per day and BF whenever we were together.
