Here is a list of what you Really will need.
(The most essential and basic)
Baby Clothing:
- 8 Undershirts (especially if you having a winter baby)
- 8 one piece pajamas
- 8 pears of socks or booties (booties fall of easily so i prefer socks)
- 3 hats
- 1-3 dress-up outfits
- Loads of Diapers (we call them nappies)
Baby Sleep:
- Crib/Cot or Bassinet (Moses Basket)
- Crib/Cot or Bassinet mattress. Check out how to choose your baby's mattress.
- 2-4 fitted sheets
- 4-6 light blankets
- 1-2 thicker blankets
- A surface to change your baby. (Not necessarily a changing table. You could use a bed, or a dresser as long as a changing mat and your changing gear can fit within reach)
- Changing Pad
- Loads of dipper/nappy cream. (we like to use Sudocrem)
- Baby wipes (unscented to prevent irritation). Alternatively use some pure cotton wool dipped in lukewarm water
- Soft wash cloths
- Baby nail clippers
- Thermometer
- Petroleum jelly/Vaseline
- Baby oil (to help with cradle cap)
- Baby soap
- Baby bath
- Breastfeeding Milk Pump (if breastfeeding)
- Milk storage bags
- Formula (if using formula)
- 10 bottles and nipples
- Burp Cloths
- Baby Stroller
- Infant Car-seat
So if you have these for the first months of your baby's life you will be covered!
Definitely
there are loads more baby stuff being promoted and sold. Some of which
could make your and your baby's life easier and some that you will never
actually use.
Try
not to get carried away in all of the new and upcoming baby products as
they will never stop coming! And use your own judgment to know what is
practical and efficient for you and your baby.
