Notes I made for friends having babies

This started as a running list I made for friends when they were expecting a baby based on my own experience. It covers what baby gear was genuinely useful for my family, what wasn’t, and some honest notes on things like sleep, introducing foods, and cloth diapering. There’s no one right way to do any of this — this is just what worked (and didn’t) in our house.
