First Time Parent - Baby Items needed?

Question

Hey guys,
Me and my partner are finally going to be parents (after 8 bloody years)! I'm a very organised person and like to be prepared. But, I don't have a clue what things we actually need! I would be very grateful for some suggestions/ideas ect xx

Answer

Swaddles - this one works great!

Answer

If you are planning on bottle or combi feeding I highly recommend this! It has been an absolute lifesaver. I started on just breastfeeding so when I moved onto combi feeding waiting for a bottle to heat up when babe got hungry was agonising as he wasn't used to waiting and got very whingey and impatient.
This literally takes 2 minutes at most and is one of the best things we have brought so far!
You don't have to wait half an hour after the kettle has boiled or remember to make enough to last the day. You make one up as you need it!

Answer

I love these. They are a great size, the whole length of the baby. They don’t bunch up or move like the smaller ones and if they get soiled just wash and put a clean one on!

Answer

There are also travel system options

Answer

Pack n play: Ingenuity washable playard it's the only one you can actually WASH. Mine has lasted heavy use by 3 children over 5 years. I just replaced it for my next baby

Answer

This is amazing. It has soothing sounds and white noise/car sounds. It goes loud. When it’s on it blocks out all the sound. Nothing has soothed my son like this. And it’s a speaker and portable. The battery lasts just about all night. We can’t live without it!

Answer

Last recommendation haha.. the baby Bjorn 'free' carrier. I tried a million different ones but because this one clips in the front it is so easy and comfy to use and put on yourself. It also has great back support. Congrats!

Answer

My baby loved sitting in the bright starts bouncer (from Amazon). She sat in it while I did stuff in the kitchen. It was probably my most used baby item so far. It's only $25. It vibrates and has toys but honestly I never used either. She was content playing with her own toys while sitting in it. Also my holy Grail baby item is the $16 electric nail file from Amazon. They come in blue or pink. It's the only way I am able to file her nails.

Answer

Get a plastic or vinyl highchair. The cloth ones gets so dirty its gross

Answer

Best soft structured baby carrier. They come in different colors and prints
