I actually really enjoyed the article, thanks for writing it! I think I mostly agreed with you, but yes, obviously your mileage may vary on everything.

The broader thing to remember here is that you're exactly right about every piece of advice you ever give... as it applies to your baby.

I guess that's true in life in general, right?

Anyway Merlin, definitely check out the location-specific advice I gave, that's for sure. The Market St. Old Navy is great (and actually the Market St. Gap has a larger kids' section now too, but not as cheap). There's also a Carters outlet right next to the Target in Colma.

Oh, and don't forget the huge Babies R Us's in Daly City and in Sausalito! My office supply fetish nicely transitioned into a baby supply fetish!
