Of course, each parents decide for themselves what their newborn child will need, and what they can do without. However, not everyone fully understands what may still be needed after such an exciting event in life - the birth of a child.
Large purchases
Of course, the first thing you need is a stroller and a cot. These are items that no child can do without, because even those who advocate a joint sleep between a newborn and their mother sometimes want to relax, and the now popular slings will not replace all the delights of a full-fledged stroller for a baby. They will also have to buy all the accompanying accessories: mattresses, bedding and linen, canopies, a mosquito net or a raincoat for a stroller.
In addition, it is necessary to attend to a special bath for bathing a child, since not everyone will be taught from birth to swimming and bathing in a shared bathroom.
Additional purchases include a car seat, if you often use personal transport, as well as a changing table, which will greatly simplify your attempts to wrap your baby in a diaper.
Baby clothes
Many mothers buy clothes in the early stages of pregnancy, when even the sex of the unborn child with a hundred percent probability will not be reported by any doctor. But a large number of clothes, universal and no less pleasant than pink and blue, colors will always save the day.
It is necessary to check that everything you need is on hand. A newborn will definitely need diapers (thin and warm), undershirts, sliders or bodysuits of your choice, caps and a warm hat, an envelope or jumpsuit for walking, thin and warm socks, scarves. The number of all items of clothing depends on whether you are going to swaddle the baby, how often you will wash it, and the physiology of the baby himself.
Personal hygiene items
Everything is quite individual here, but you can single out things that you almost never do without. There must be cotton swabs and discs, talcum powder or zinc cream for diaper rash, baby cream, special bathing shampoo, baby soap, powder for washing baby clothes, safe small scissors, a comb, towels and wet wipes.
It is better not to buy medicines right away, since they may not be useful at all, or they may not suit your baby. It is enough to have hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, potassium permanganate and sterile cotton wool at home, and it is better to buy everything else as needed, based on the advice of a doctor.
All other things that you want to buy your future baby are at your discretion. The main thing is to please both yourself and the child so that everyone is comfortable and comfortable.
