Stuff we should get? Or features on some items?
Things to you wish you knew or had done before the baby arrived?
Any and all advice is welcome :)

Best advice I can think of: learn to breathe.
Theres a lot of joy in having a baby but also a lot of stress on reduced sleep. Learning to acknowledge when you’re getting frustrated and take a minute will make everything so very much easier.
Also buy a diaper genie.
I always endeavor to get things that have multiple uses. At first, I pooh-poohed (heh) the idea of a diaper genie. A regular trash can should be sufficient, right?
No. If you’re doing disposable diapers, get the diaper genie.
Your username is very apt lol
Diaper genie was great. Also reuse grocery bags and spin them into a knot.
Diaper Genie for the win!
Also, a car seat that latches into its base (base stays in car). So much better than one you have to strap in/out of the car all the time.
My family called those pumpkin seats. I had a friend who left their kid in that seat too often and it ended up with a flat head. The kid needed a helmet. Poor guy was never the brightest.
Sorry to hear that, but I don’t see how that could be the cause (unless they were leaving them in it for a week at a time).
The baby was only ever in the crib or the seat. It was a bit too late, but they started paying more attention once social services was involved. Definitely a middle child problem.
I think he’s doing better now, but he’s practically an adult.
Diaper Genie, seconded.
