Hey girls I was really bored so I decided to "deep clean" my daughter's room and I never reaized how much stuff I needed for her when she was first born and even now! So I decided to compile a list of some baby items you might want to get (im soo bored) and some of the things I had forgotten at first and ended up needing them...If anyone else has any ideas please add them.
-onsies
-socks
-newborn and size 1 diapers
-infant thermometer (rectal or pacifier type) remember rectal is always higher temp. So you have to minus a degree.
-infants tylenol (even though bottle says not under age of 2, you can give it to them when they are like 2 months old.)
-waterpoof lap pads (put them in bassinet or crib) otherwise you will be washing sheets all the time!
-receiving blankets
-bottled infants water with flouride (unless your breastfeeding)
-alcohol (for cleaning newborns umbilical cord stump)
-safety q-tips
-infant towels and wash clothes
-baby shampoo (johnson and johnsons lavender shampoo is awesome!)
-baby bath (johnson and johnsons bedtime lavender is great!!)
-diaper rash cream (johnson and johnsons no more rash 3 in 1 is great)
-sunscreen
-vaseline (for using rectal thermo. And dry skin on face)
-wipes
-pacifiers
-nasal bulb aspirator (hospital should give you one)
-formula (if not breastfeeding....And just incase)
-bottles, extra nipples
-bottle brush, bottle rack (they work well)
-glycerine childrens suppositories (for constipation, for infants you can cut them in half long ways. Only use for extreme constipation.)
-baby lotion
-nursing pads
-breast pump
-cream for nipples (if breastfeedig)
-burp clothes
-newborn caps
-newborn non scratch mittens
-infant clippers
-orajel (you will need for teething...Comes faster than you realize!)
-nightlite (real nice when they start to sleep in crib, so you don't have to turn light on in middle of night when they wake up)
well I could keep going all day. Any other suggestions feel free to add!
