Baby Product Comparison

16 weeks along, and took my first trip to Baby's R Us to start looking at all of the things we will soon need for Baby Madison. Tooooo many stinking options out there. It is crazy, but I choose not to let it be overwhelming. Just taking it one item at a time and starting the research.

I started with strollers/car seats/travel systems and have it narrowed down to 2 or 3, which I think is a good start considering all that is out there. Not only do I have to pick one out, but then find the best place to buy it. Whether I am buying it or someone else buys it for me, I still have to find the best price, it's just the way I am...

Breast Pumps can cost a ridiculous amount of money! I remember the manual one my mom had. They still make manual ones, but now there is electric, and kits and fancy travel bags and the list and price go on and on. But, I think I have at least picked a brand I like :)

Bottles have been my next tricky decision. I started wanting the Playtex bottles with the disposable bags that our parents used. But, now I am thinking of glass bottles, since plastic, even BPA free bottles are still plastic and not as healthy or safe for anything or anyone. But with the Playtex bags you can get the air out, with the glass it is not so easy.

If formula is necessary, I also have many decisions there. All baby formulas contain vegetable oil, and it's usually a top ingredient. Vegetable oil is terrible for anyone, I can't imagine it's good to feed so much to a baby. Yes I know people have been using formula for years, but the health of people has also decreased over the years because of our poor foods. I want to make my own formula, but there sure is alot of controversy out there.

But on a fun note I think I felt the baby for the first time last week. The fluttering, that I have never felt before. It was quick and I don't think I realized it at first, but it is just crazy that there is life growing in my belly, forming into a little person who I will be responsible for. Can't Wait!
