When I was first expecting Chandler I knew I had so much to buy and was a bit clueless as to where to start.  I remember one of my friends asking if I had all of my layette items, to which I asked, &#8220;What is a layette?&#8221;  According to <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=32298&amp;PageID=138720816441719">First Impressions</a>,  <em>a l</em><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=32298&amp;PageID=138720816441719"><em>ayette </em></a><em>is made up of all the soft pieces your newborn needs for his or her fist days and weeks.  These include:</em></p>
<ul>
<li>6-8 Footed Coveralls</li>
<li>1 Hooded Towel</li>
<li>1 Hat</li>
<li>4-6 Convertible Gowns</li>
<li>4-6 Blankets</li>
<li>1 Robe</li>
<li>4-6 pair of pants</li>
<li>3 Take me home sets</li>
<li>9-12 bodysuits</li>
</ul>
<p>First Impressions, which can be found at <a href="http://www.macys.com">Macy&#8217;s</a> sent me this super cute layette set you see pictured to the right. Want to know what I thought?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Pros: </strong></span></span>The set is made of 100% cotton, which is super soft.  I love that the layette has matching pieces and is available in yellow, khaki, and teal.  It is machine washable.  The fabrics stay nice after washing and have minimal piling.  The bib has a snap closure which I prefer over velcro closures as velcro can get caught on hair and irritate the skin.  First impressions also offers sizing from birth up to 24 months.  These sets are also very affordable which is nice when you consider everything you have to buy for baby.  This particular set retails for $19.98 which makes each piece just over $3.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Cons: </strong></span></span>The onesies shrink up a bit in length when you wash them.  My boys were both quite long so this would mean they would outgrow the onesies faster.  Washing in cold and letting them air dry can help solve this problem.  I also wish that the line was tag free.  I know that tags can irritate newborn skin, so I think this would be a nice improvement.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>The Bottom Line: </strong></span></span>Super soft cotton layette line that coordinates together.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Price:</strong></span></span> $19.98</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Where to Buy: </strong></span></span><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=32298&amp;PageID=138720816441719">Macy&#8217;s Online </a>and In Store.  (I didn&#8217;t see this particular set online, but they have others.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Win It<a href="http://www.babesandkidsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Picture-9.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1493" title="Picture 9" src="http://www.babesandkidsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Picture-9.png" alt="Picture 9" width="271" height="155" /></a></strong></span></span><br />

<p>One of Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s newest baby products is the <span style="color: purple;"><strong>b</strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: purple;"><strong>aby bubble bath</strong> <strong>and wash</strong></span>.  I love that this is a wash and a bubble bath.
