Preparing for the appearance of the baby is a responsible and troublesome business, but it is so pleasant! Of course, each family approaches this issue differently. Sometimes the fees for what you need to buy for the
birth of a child begin from the moment when it becomes known about the onset of pregnancy. Some future mothers are happy to sweep everything from the shelves in children's stores, and then the baby does not even have time to scold many things. Let's figure out what you need to buy for a newborn in the first place.
Pram and crib
These items are perhaps the largest of all children's accessories, but their value is very important, because in the crib the baby will spend most of the time in the first months of his life. A stroller is the first "transport" for the child, in which he will learn the world on daily walks. Here it is worth mentioning a set for a crib, usually including a blanket, a pillow, bedding, a soft protective side and a spacious "pocket" with compartments for storing small items, which should always be at hand.
Baby clothes, diapers, diapers
A diaper is such a thing from a newborn’s wardrobe that it will never be superfluous, so a dozen chintz and bike diapers is only a minimal amount, especially if you plan to constantly swaddle a baby in the first months of his life. What you need to buy for the birth of a child in his wardrobe in addition to diapers? It depends on the time of year in which the baby was born, and on your personal preferences. Some young parents quite manage with such items as children's bonnets, vests and romper suits, while others immediately begin to dress their child in ruffles and bows. If your child is winter, then in any case you can not do without a warm envelope or overalls for walking, a warm hat, mittens.
Feeding Supplies
If you are going to breastfeed your baby, the list of what you need to buy for the birth of a baby to feed him is minimal, and these items may not be needed at all at first. However, for those whose baby will be artificially fed for some reason, the list of accessories will expand significantly: here are bottles, brushes for washing them, sterilizers, and thermoses.
Soother
A baby's dummy in the first months of a child’s life is his best friend, who will always help calm down and sleep soundly. And the nipple needs to be bought several, in case one is suddenly lost. You can also purchase pacifiers of various types so that you can choose the one that your baby likes best.
First aid kit
First-aid kit - this is what you must buy for the birth of a child, so that later you do not run to pharmacies in fever. Cotton pads, ear buds with a limiter, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, iodine, zelenka, medicines for stomach pain and colic, antipyretic drugs for children, syringes, thermometers - this is not a complete list of medicines and accessories needed in a house where there is a small child.
Children's cosmetics and household chemicals
Baby oil, diaper rash creams, bathing foam, shampoo, as well as special baby powder and rinse aid, baby soap - all this is necessary for your baby to be healthy and cheerful, enjoy bathing and other pastime without any discomfort. And, of course, you need diapers: disposable or reusable - your choice.
Bathing accessories
Among the things that you need to buy for the birth of a child, an important place is occupied by the bathtub, because you need to bathe the baby every day so that its delicate folds always remain clean. Together with the bath, you can purchase a special slide to support the still fragile baby body. A very useful thing is a special baby towel with a corner for the head.
Toys
There are not many toys, as you know, but it’s important to choose them according to the age of the child. For newborns, the best toys are hanging rattles that can be mounted on a crib or stroller.
