In this baby supply list you’ll find all the products I mention in my guidebook A Nurse in Your Purse. These are all items I’ve found to be super handy to have as a new mom or even as a veteran mom! It’s not an all inclusive baby supply list at this time, just the ones that are mentioned in the book. While some are obvious on their uses, some may surprise you. Grab the book to find out all the ways I suggest using them!
