First, food. We had two friends that cooked us enough for several meals. We had another two friends that bought an assortment of deli foods from Whole Foods for us a different week. Believe me, this is the only food with any nutritional value that we ate those first few weeks.
My seccond suggestion is a bunch of those little white long sleeved shirts they put newborns in at the hospital-- the ones that snap around the side and have little folds to cover the infants hands so they can't scratch their faces.
