Answer
· nail clippers - the scissor kind is worthless, get small clippers that look like adult ones
Changing Supplies
small changing pads
diapers I get huggies from diapers.com you can buy them in bulk and free over night shipping.
wipes -
changing table or countoured changing pad and a cover that can sit on top of a dresser
Bath Supplies
bath towel - buy two with hoods
· bath toys - plus a plastic cup for rinsing and pouring
· washcloths
· baby soap and shampoo or body wash
· baby lotion
· desitin or corona (Which is for animals and sold at feed supply stores. It has lanolin, which heals diaper rash faster than anything I've ever found. A nurse recommended it to me.)
· soft brush
· infant bath tub or sling - I preferred the sling because the tubs are so hard to store
Feeding Supplies
bottles - 1 or 2 are nice even if you plan on breastfeeding
binkie
· burp clothes - need 4 to 6 or more if your baby has reflux
breast pads- If you dont breastfeed your might leak.
formula- even you do breastfeed if always good to have some on hand just in case.
breast pump - I found hand pumps worked better than electric.
you can wait until your baby is four months old before buying these items ( or stock up now they grow fast)
· plastic bibs - get a small one that fits the baby's neck
baby spoons - plastic coated ones are the best
baby food and cereal also plain mashed potato flakes are easy to fix and cheap.
sippy cup - I like the ones with handles for first time drinkers
Bring home from the hospital
alcohol pads
soft brush for scrubbing babies head while bathing - this prevents cradle-cap
nose aspirator
Sleeping Essentials
crib
receiving blankets - buy 4 to 6 because babies need to be wrapped up when they are first born
sheets - at least two for when your baby poops or throws up on one
Car Basics
infant car seat
sun screen for the car window
Clothing
clothes - don't buy too many you will receive a lot of 0-3 month clothes at your baby shower. If you get too many which you probably will take them back and buy a bigger size. Figure out how old your child will be the next time the season comes around and buy that size.
pajamas - buy lots of these, 4 to 6 pairs, because they are easy to change and keep your newborn warm
onesies
socks - keep those baby feet warm
Toys and Board Books
teething rings
toys with bright colors and music
balls
blocks
rubber toys for chewing
soft toys for cuddling
board books - not paper
Great extras
bounce chair - my son slept in his the first three months because he was elevated and it helped his acid reflux
swing - some children love these and some don't
baby carrier - I used to take mine to the grocery store and carry my baby in it so I had my hands free.
stroller - I used to take my son on walks for exercise.
bassinet - this is nice because you can keep the baby closer for the first month
rocking chair - babies love the rocking motion
· nail clippers - the scissor kind is worthless, get small clippers that look like adult ones
