h... shopping for baby. It's almost like a reward for suffering through morning sickness and sacrificing your favorite pinot noir. Now, if we could just remove the price tags from some of these items - well, that might be worth the fact that you're down to one pair of shoes that fit you. And they're your husband's sneakers.

The absolute basic needs for your baby are:

• Food
• Diapers
• A place to sleep
• And, of course, your love and care

But when it comes to your newborn, need and want are two words that are easily interchangeable. The list below covers what we feel are the "must have" and the "nice to have" items when it comes to bringing home baby. Choose what you think will enrich the environment for your growing family.
