What do I need?

Question

I’ve got just over four months until baby is due but I want to be really prepared! 
Is there anything I’m missing? Or anything I’ve added that I really don’t need? 
I do want to try and breastfeed but have added bottles and formula incase I can’t! Thank you in advance! <3

Answer

I think you’ve got baby covered, do you have another list of things for you? 
Because you will probably need to get some mamma things prepped too, it’s not a glamorous list but I’ve been given this list by friends:
- big comfy pants
- large sanitary towels 
- Ice packs (for swelling) 
- breast pads
- nipple cream (lanolin) 
- nipple shields 
- nursing bra
- squeezy water bottle or perineal spray. 
- hot water bottle 
- stain remover 
- Postnatal vitamins

Answer

Definitely burp clothes and a baby monitor. But I would also warn about buying everything early. I did that for my first (she was also born in October) and she grew so fast all her clothes were the wrong size for the season. It’s fine for things like pants and onesies that work for all seasons, but she outgrew her snow booties and snow suit before we really got a chance to use them. Same thing happened with the Christmas dress I found for her. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But that looks like a great list!

Answer

Maybe I missed it but stroller. I also bought the cover for the stroller for when it rains.

If you need more help and if you have a buy buy baby next to you, get their registry gift bag. In there is a book of all your registry needs. Also, look on YouTube under “baby must haves”, “what’s in my hospital bag”, and “what’s in my diaper bag”. There’s other videos related to those as well that are helpful. This is my second but there’s a 10 year gap so I’m starting all over. These videos helped me out a lot!

Answer

Also, don’t feel pressured to get all the things you see others get like boppy lounger, a swing, and a dock a tot. It can get so overwhelming and expensive, to only realize none of those things fit your space or lifestyle or that your baby doesn’t even like being in that item! I say focus on necessities.

Answer

For me, burp cloths are a must!
