Excel Shopping List #3: Clothing!

I can't imagine clothing being a problem, what with hand-me-downs from friends and grandparents and all. But it's nice to at least have a reference:

1 pack of T-shirts
6 One-piece outfits
4 pajamas
6 pairs of socks
2 pairs of soft booties
2 pairs of cotton pants
3 bibs
Cotton
Sweater
Knit cap
Sun hat
Zip-up sweatshirt
15 baby hangers
Swaddling Clothes
And by the way, I can't believe nobody has come up with a baby-starter kit yet!

Look, write a book just about the stuff you will need and why. Then sell three different levels of starter packs:

Pack #1: Thrift Store Option: some rags and safety pins for diapers, a couple of bottles, some formula and a potato sack to carry it all in - $35

Pack #2: Target Option (Our Most Popular!): a couple won-sees, some diapers, wipes, 3 bottles, some formula, ear plugs for dad, and a no-name diaper bag - $150

Pack #3: For Those Who Really Care About their Children: Cucumber soggy-bottom diaper bag, breast pump, hemp diapers, 12 hypo-allergenic bottles, bottle warmer, hand sanitizer and a stun gun for anyone who gets too close . . . $1200

I think the 1st option would be less $$ than you think, and the 3rd would be more. And btw, YOU have the idea, YOU market it and then we can pay for all this crap! Love you.
