The last months before childbirth are an ideal moment to purchase all the necessary things for newborns. However, future parents, when shopping, often make purchases, guided only by emotions. And then all the things that the baby did not have time to put on or use them, begin to spread in the house from corner to corner. Therefore, going shopping, all acquisitions should be conditionally divided into several positions - the most necessary, useful and desirable. The group of things necessary for the child primarily includes children's clothing, hygiene products, items for the baby’s nutrition and additional accessories.
Clothing and diapers are undoubtedly essentials for newborns. At first, a child gains weight very intensively and grows. Thus, the amount of clothing at first should not be huge. When choosing clothes, you need to pay attention to the material of manufacture and its size. For newborns, 56-62 size is usually suitable. In the beginning, you will need 4-6 bodysuits with a short sleeve, 2-3 with a long sleeve, a couple of suits, and clothes for walking. Of course, in our time, diapers are those necessary things for newborns , without which no modern mother can possibly cope. Newborn consumption of these accessories will exceed all expectations. Diapers are disposable, and reusable. The choice depends on the preferences of the parents themselves. Wet wipes will also be very convenient in caring for the baby.
From the first days of life, the child will need special cosmetics and medical preparations. When choosing a protective cream for diaper rash, cream-soap for bathing or dusting, you need to pay attention to the composition of cosmetics: it should be hypoallergenic, odorless and not contain artificial colors. Small scissors, a hair brush, a thermometer and a pear for cleaning the nose are necessary things for newborns in the process of care and care for them.
Of course, things such as a stroller, a bed with a mattress, a bathtub for bathing will still be needed. For sleep, the child needs not only a warm and comfortable room, but also a comfortable bed. It is better to buy such a thing more so that the child can use it until the age of 3-4. The mattress should be waterproof, soft and comfortable. Since it is recommended to bathe a child every 2-3 days, no less attention should be paid to the bath when buying. But such items as a sling, changing table or car seat may not be the most necessary things for a newborn, but over time they can facilitate the care of the baby. In a sling, a child can always be near her mother when she is engaged in other affairs, and the car seat will be rescued not only in the car - in it the baby can safely watch everything that happens.
During feeding, the baby may need a bottle for milk, a bottle for tea, as well as an invariable attribute of almost all small children - a dummy. If the family budget allows, a heater and a sterilizer for a bottle will not be superfluous .
All accessories for the newborn should be collected in advance. Firstly, then it is easier for a mother with a small tummy to make purchases, and secondly, due to the reserve in time, only the most necessary for the child can be purchased. When choosing the necessary things for newborns, it is better to keep calm in the store and not lose common sense. Today, a lot of not quite necessary things have appeared on the market, the price of which sometimes exceeds their usefulness. When choosing clothes, you should pay attention not only to its appearance, but also to take into account the functionality, material of manufacture and convenience in the process of dressing and undressing. Also, in choosing clothing, you need to consider the season in which the child was born. And do not make large stocks of cosmetics - some children are very sensitive and prone to allergies, so even a tested cream may simply not work for him.
