how many is a good number?

Question

Okay question! How many of each baby item do you think you should have of each thing? Example- bottles with my daughter I had 20! 
We only got 6 at our shower so I'm going to get more. How many of each item would you have or think should start out with without over doing it? Blankets, bottles, paci, diapers, etc. with my daughter I overly stocked up and she didn't even get to wear half her clothes, I didn't use half the blankets cause I had so many. So how many is a good number or amount?

Answer

A lot of this is all dependent on how often you want to do laundry and do dishes. I was the same way with my oldest as you. I had like 20 of everything! My second we had what we needed at that was it. 6 bottles was plenty for me. I pumped once or twice a day so I was washing parts anyways so washing bottles was no biggie. With my first the 20 bottles I had piled up and then they were hard to get clean cuz they sat too long. Binkies 2 to 4 seems like plenty!! Blankets I had 4 receiving blankets and two warmer fluffy ones. My first had so many clothes we didn't even wear them all. My second I did one load of laundry every day and that kept me up on burp rags and sleepers. Cuz obviously you change them 3 or 4 times a day! I would rather feel over prepared tho than strapped. You don't want to be stressed those first few weeks with dishes and laundry.
