Last minute things you wish you did to prepare for baby?

Question

I have a long list of things I want done before I go into labor. What are some things on your list?

Answer

Make some freezer meals! I was super lucky and a coworker surprised me by asking all the staff to make me a freezer meal for my maternity leave and they gave it to me my last day at work. I didn’t have to cook for like 3 weeks and it was an absolute saving grace. Still healthy, home cooked meals rather than takeout, but I didn’t have to cook.  I thought I wouldn’t mind cooking still when I had a baby- nope... no time for that in your first few weeks when you’re still adjusting. So if no one does it for you, prep your own freezer/slow cooker meals.... or invite some friends over and make it a party.

Answer

Have high protein and iron snacks ready for when you get home. If you’re breastfeeding-get nipple cream!!! Not to mention your baby will be cluster feeding so those snacks will come in handy! Meal prep! You are not going to want to cook. Make sure you have gripe water and other medical things you may need.

Answer

Sleep 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I wish I had a bag packed! Lol. I ended up being induced at 36 weeks and literally had nothing. I’ll definitely do that earlier this time around.

Answer

I wish I had done more research on bottle nipple flows. My baby constantly choked, even with paced feeding. It took forever to realize (bc I hardly had time for anything) dr brown's had preemie nipples. 
Also to have cleaned the whole house sooner. My baby came two weeks early. My room is still not fully clean/organized and my baby is 6 months now. 
Gripe water as someone else mentioned too.

Answer

I wish I bought more medicine type
Stuff like mylicone and grip water. Worst was running to the store because baby was upset with tummy bubbles because they scream forever! I definitely waisted money on newborn clothes as well, wish I bought less newborn stuff.
