Will you be a mom soon? Perfectly! However, you need to carefully prepare for this. It is worthwhile to purchase in advance everything that your baby needs and it is for you to care for him. Before you go to the store, make a shopping list for the newborn!
Cot
When choosing furniture for your favorite child, pay attention to the fact that it was made of natural wood. If you are financially limited, you can buy a used bed, but do not forget to treat it with a disinfectant. The mattress should have a natural filler, and it is better to give preference to orthopedic models. After all, we want our child to grow up healthy.
Baby bath
Do not forget to include a bath in the list of purchases for the newborn. Get a lightweight, plastic model. Think in advance about the rug that you put inside so that your baby does not accidentally slip. After each bath, do not forget to treat it with a special detergent and rinse with boiling water.
We compose a first-aid kit
The list of essentials for a newborn must necessarily include a first aid kit. It should contain: brilliant green, potassium permanganate, bandage, cotton wool, hydrogen peroxide, special baby cotton buds for the ears, an enema and an aspirator for cleaning the nose. One of the most important items for the baby are hygiene products. A newborn will need diapers, special oilcloth and other cosmetics. When choosing funds for your baby, pay special attention to the manufacturer. Give preference to well-known brands so as not to cause an undesirable reaction on the skin of your baby. Therefore, include shampoo, baby soap, bath foam, baby oil, cream and powder in your newborn’s shopping list. Many experts do not recommend bathing the child with soap every day, so as not to dry the skin. In the very first days of life, the baby will have enough water with special mixtures of soothing herbs.
What to wear baby
When compiling a shopping list for a newborn, each mother, first of all, thinks about clothes. To begin with, it will need quite a lot. Here you can not do without diapers, vests, romper suits, bonnets, socks and even scratches. It’s better to buy new things, but if you did buy worn ones, wash them thoroughly and boil them. When choosing clothes for a baby, you need to consider the fact at what time of the year he will be born. The list for a newborn in winter should include:
- wool jumpsuit and street jumpsuit;
- wool cap and hat for the street;
- woolen bodik;
- wool pants;
- a warm blanket or blanket.
When choosing children's clothing, be sure to pay attention to the material from which it is made. The fabric should only be natural. Baby clothes should be safe for him: without unnecessary lace, clasps, zippers and especially pins. Children's things are the key to excellent health of the child. Do not forget to wash them with baby soap, dry and iron. You can even use a washing machine for this: just grate the baby soap and put it in the drum, scroll through all the clothes in one cycle. Take care of the health of your child from birth!
