Oh and the hospital bag stuff you can find on the third tri, I just copied it into word and added my own stuff and took things away I didn't want. x edit with link: https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/100575-pack-your-hospital-bag-suggestions.html
i havnt really found any of the lists ive found very helpful to be honest, the one pippin posted is the best ive seen, most of the lists say about 6 - 8 of sleepsuits, vests etc but ive at least doubled that, and ive also found alot of them to have things on id find quite unnessasary (sp?) let me know if you find a good one xx
I ditched the numbers party cos lets face it you'll never stick to it and we'll never know till the little one arrives anyway. I'm not buying masses of clothes as you'll get given loads and everyone has warned me you'll not need a lot really. I have the basic nappy stuff and cotton wool only for the first month as it's not good to use wipes until after then. Also in the bath we can't use oils and such till 6 weeks so really it's just the basics we'll need for a while then I think I'll be glad to get out and buy a few more bits.
If you register on the HiPP baby club website, they have a really good list. Someone posted on here some time ago, so maybe search for it (I think shadowrat typed it in here) - there is a baby list and a hospital bag list that's one of my faves, although I've still adapted it for myself.
Ok, here you go, I've found it. By the way, the NHS pregnancy book has a good list in it too. Here is hte HiPP baby list - the real one is much nicer with tick boxes for things you want and then for whenyou buy them and it's separated, but this is the best I can do on a copy and paste job: FOR YOU Maternity pads – a couple of packs Front opening night shirts – useful for breastfeeding Old / cheap / disposable knickers Nursing bra and breast pads Frozen meals so you don't have to think about cooking For baby need this! got this! FOR BABY Lots of bibs Muslin squares – at least 2 packs Cotton wool pads or balls Cot (plus mattress, fitted sheets and cellular blankets) Infant car seat Pram buggy or travel system Six sleepsuits / long sleeved suits Six vests / short sleeved suits Two cardigans / jackets Shawl or snow suit Hat, mittens and bootees Changing mat Newborn nappies If bottle feeding – a set of six bottles, a steriliser and infant milk formula Things that are handy, but not essential Moses basket / crib (plus mattress, sheets and blankets) Baby bath Sling Bouncy chair Baby monitor Changing bag Breast pump Baby wipes Bath thermometer Nail scissors Baby bath towel with hood Room thermometer Anything else you can think of! HOSPITAL BAG FOR YOU Pyjamas or nightdress (front opening) Dressing gown Slippers Warm socks Toilet bag and toiletries Bath towel Nursing bras Face wipes Lip salve Camera / video with spare batteries Your birth plan An old nightdress or a t-shirt to wear in labour Massage oil or lotion if you would like to be massaged during your labour Watch with a second hand, to time contractions Relaxation materials: books, magazines, games etc Pictures of someone or something you love for inspiration TENS pain relief machine if you are planning to use one Water spray, or a hand-held fan to keep you cool Music to listen to – CD's or iPod List of family and friends phone numbers Disposable / old knickers Maternity towels Glasses / contact lenses Partners swimwear if you are planning a water birth Snacks – dried fruit, lollipops, cereal bars, glucose tablets, bottles of water Comfortable clothes to wear home Rescue remedy – may help during labour Ear plugs, in case you end up on a noisy ward! Arnica tablets to help with bruising after the birth Spare change for car park and phone calls FOR BABY Cotton wool balls Newborn nappies Nappy sacks Vests Sleep suits Hat Booties or socks Cellular blanket Muslin squares Infant car seat Anything else you can think of!
I hate these lists. (Not the ones you girls have posted, just in general! lol) So i got together about 10 different ones, plus opinions from people of what they couldnt have lived without/ could have done without and made my own. Its not as long as half of the lists i've seen around, and im finding it so much easier to get it all the way i've done it. I would post it but its a spreadsheet and mucks up on here
I personally went through the mothercare/baby r us books and looked at things i thought i'd need and put it in a list. E.g Feeding : Steriliser , bottles ,bibs etc etc Then moved onto the bathing , travel ,nursery , clothes - and expanded on all of those. Then checked my things against a few bits on internet for extra ideas. x
