I'll admit that as an adoptive mom, I actually had only six hours to prepare for my daughter coming home from the hospital. We got the call that our daughter would be arriving one morning and six hours later, she was in our arms.

These are some of the essentials you'll need to get started with a baby. The rest you can pick up or order online when you know you need an additional item.
