is there an good all-encompassing list for baby items?

2010mommy!

i know it's still a bit early for me, and i'm not planning to register for anything yet, but i was wondering if there is a list floating around out there of eeeeeevery single thing new parents need. i'm completely clueless.

i'm off for two weeks after friday, and i'd love to spend some of my vacation looking and comparison shopping for baby!

The bump has a list of items you need, look under tools.  There are also many books with lists included.

Baby Bargains has a good list.  I started my registry on BRU and they also provide a guide.

Ditto on the Baby Bargains book! It really lays it out there of what you really need, and whats a waste of money.

Honestly, the best advice you are going to get will be from other moms. Start asking other women (either IRL or on these boards) what they needed the most, etc... I would say at LEAST a third of the crap all those "lists" tell you (especially registry lists, they just want you to add as much crap as possible!) is totally not necessary.

Outside of that, I would say don't open packages until you need them, since you never know what you may be taking back (so save all those receipts too!
