Hey ladies... Sorry....I know there are lots of lists on here if I looked, but I just wondered if anyone can help me out by letting me know if I've missed anything? We have just sorted through everything we have bought so far, and I'm convinced we have missed loads of things!! I'm going to blame not being able to think properly on 'baby-brain'!! So....this is what we have; Cotbed Pushchair & car seat Moses basket & stand Bath & bath support Steriliser Bottles x 9 Bottle Warmer Bottle brush Sheets x 4 Blankets x 4 Cotton wool balls x 2 packs Cotton Wool pleats x 3 packs Wipes (4 packs) 2 Dummies Room Thermometer Night light Changing Bag Nappies x 3 packs (up to 11 lbs) Nappy sacks Nappy cream Infacol Bath towels x 3 Monitor Muslin squares & bibs (x 12 approx) Baby carrier 12 Sleepsuits (up to 14 lbs) 12 vests (up to 14 lbs) 1 x Pramsuit 3 Hats 3 pairs bootees 1 Dress 2 Nice outfits I've probably missed some really obvious things, but I'm stuck.....I can't think!!! Help!! xxx
Some people use a wee mat to change their nappies on, or you could use an old towel. Tins of formula!
u got milk? maybe a grooming kit a few more newborn sleepsuits because the others maybe 2 big apart from that u seem pretty sorted x
Very organised hun! Only things I can think to add would be what's already been said, and maybe a baby thermometer? xx
Looks like you're pretty organised to me. The other things that I can think of maybe are................ A baby sponge for the bath and face cloths/flannels very handy....face cloths are easier than cotton wool to wash face, hands and body and they're re-useable too I guess Scratch mitts Socks Coat I reckon you'll need 3 x as many bibs coz they can go through 6-8 in a day sometimes Cotton buds to clean nose and outer ears Baby thermometer (just in case baby gets a temp) They say you don't need baby wash/shampoo but if the poo goes right up their backs (yep...this happens) I always preferred to clean it with a bit of Top To Toe wash Sorry if I've duplicated anything
Have You Got Some Baby Bath? To Wash Your Baby. And Baby Lotion, Talc, Sudacrem, Etc. And A Nursing Kit, With Nail Clippers In (etc) Socks For Baby? Can't Think Of Anything Else Hun.
Thanks sooooo much Hevz!! I knew I'd forgotten loads.... Have added all of the above to my shopping list!! Does anyone know what kind of baby thermometer is best to get? The kind that you use on their forehead, in their ear, or the kind like a dummy? xx
The "in the ear" digital ones are the most accurate...also the most expensive If you get a baby grooming kit with clippers, brush, comb, etc they often have an "under the armpit" type digital thermometer....that's what I have
loads and loads of bibs, i have about 50 and thats enough for us though more wont be harm. More blankets as you can never have to many, i take 2 on a day out just in case one gets mucky and then there's the blankets on the bed, you've got to have clean ones too
Like others have said, defo a baby thermometer if baby gets a temp. Maybe more bibs. I have loads, i figured you cant have to many as i dont want to be doing a wash every single day! What about a bouncy chair or playmat.. or a cot mobile. Something to keep baby entertained and somewhere you can put baby down like a playmat or bouncy chair for a few moments while you have to do something. Doesnt have to be the most expensive one in the shop, just something simple!
