Surely you have heard quite a few opinions that buying things for a baby before his birth is a bad omen. However, an increasing number of expectant mothers are skeptical of such moods. In the old days, high infant mortality during and immediately after childbirth was a common occurrence. But since then, medicine has stepped forward more than once. And now, the development of the child can be observed throughout pregnancy, doctors can cope with various complications during childbirth. Therefore, there are good reasons for the expectant mother to make a list for the newborn for the first time.
We collect the bag in the hospital
Even if you are not going to buy all the dowry in advance, be sure to prepare the things that will be needed in the maternity hospital. A future mother can do this on her own already in the middle of pregnancy. The list for the newborn in the maternity hospital begins with diapers, you will need at least 8 of them. Please note that in many public health institutions it is not allowed to bring their own clothes for babies and it is suggested to use diapers that are given out in the hospital. You can specify this information in advance. If clothes for babies are allowed, include in the list for the newborn for the first time 4 vests, 5-6 sliders, a pair of bonnets and several pairs of socks. Be sure to purchase the smallest Pampers package, cotton pads and baby care oil. A cream with panthenol, which will cure diaper rash in a child, and cracks in her mother’s nipples, will also be a useful acquisition. Do not forget to prepare a holiday set for discharge, choosing it according to the season. On this the list of things for the hospital ends, but do not forget about what the baby will need at home, after discharge.
Large purchases for babies
The list for a newborn for the first time begins with personal transport. You will have time to buy a crib even after the birth of the baby. It is much more difficult to do without a stroller. With her, you can not only walk with the child, but also rock it at home or take the baby with you to the room where the mother is engaged in her personal affairs. Choose this accessory to your liking, for the first months of a child's life , a cradle or transformer is suitable. If the family has a car, an important major purchase is a car seat. Riding without it is not only unsafe and uncomfortable, but threatens with large fines from the state traffic inspectorate. Do not forget about the bathtub for bathing, which can be bought shortly after the baby is born.
List of clothes for the newborn, as well as the necessary little things
Clothing for the child should be chosen relative to the season. In the cold season, you can not do without a warm envelope or overalls.
Knitted and crocheted suits, sleeping bags are also required. Do not forget about the warm hat and socks. The basic
set of clothes is the same for any time of the year - it's thin vests and warm flannel and cotton romper. Too many items of clothing of each type are not worth buying, as the baby will grow rapidly. If you do not plan to wash clothes every day, 10 vests of each type and the same number of sliders are enough. Include in the list for the newborn for the first time, supplies - baby bathing cosmetics and
diaper rash cream, diapers, cotton swabs and umbilical wound care products.
