Things You Need For The Baby’s Arrival

It’s exciting to welcome a new baby home, especially if you’re becoming a parent for the first time. As a new mom, you’d want to get everything you feel your baby will need to be comfortable. In most cases, you’ll find yourself walking out of a tiny bubs store carrying bags loaded with baby clothes and other essentials.

While it’s just fine to buy the entire world for your little one, it’s good to keep in mind that the young one is growing so fast, and soon they’ll not need some items. Therefore, you should only go for the must-haves and leave out what’s not necessary at the moment. It will not only save you some dollars but also keep your nursery clutter-free.

If you’re shopping for your little bundle of joy, these baby essentials shouldn’t miss on your list.

Nursery Furniture

It would be great to have a nursery full of fancy baby furniture pieces, but not all are necessary at that time. Some of them may be needed later or the baby can simply do without them. If you’re shopping for baby furniture, the following pieces should top the list.

• Crib or Co-sleeper
• Changing Table
• A Dresser

You can get these items from any furniture store where you normally buy your home furniture such as king sized bedposts.

Bedding

If you’re getting your baby a crib, you’ll also need to buy bedding for their little sleeping space. You may want to make the little bed adorable, but that doesn’t mean you buy even the unnecessary items. These bedding pieces shouldn’t miss on your list when you go shopping for your little one.

• A Crib Mattress
• 2 Fitted Crib Sheets
• Thin Cotton Receiving Blankets
• 2 Waterproof Mattress Protectors

Clothing

When it comes to baby outfits, most moms become undecided on what to buy and what to leave out. Baby clothes are so pretty, and unless you restrict yourself to what’s necessary, you may be tempted to buy all the beautiful pieces you come across. While it’s fulfilling to dress your little angel in cute clothes, it’s good to keep in mind that they’ll soon outgrow the clothes. Therefore, just get the clothing necessities they’ll need at that time. If you’re shopping for baby clothes, these should never miss on your list.

• Onesies
• Side-Snap Shirts
• Several Snap-Up Rompers
• Several Pairs of Pajamas
• Several Pairs of Socks
• Cold-Weather Hat
• Sun hat
• Several shirt-and-pant sets

You can go beyond this list if you wish, but just make sure these outfits come first.

Bathing and Grooming

As a new mom, expect to do diaper changing and grooming many times a day. Therefore, ensure you get all the necessary items to make the process easy for you. Even so, just pick what your baby really needs. Here are a few essentials for baby grooming.

• 2 Hooded Towels
• 2  Washcloths
• Baby Bath Wash
• Baby Comb and Brush Set
• Nail Clippers
• Bath Seat
• Diaper Supply

If you’re soon welcoming a new baby, the listed items shouldn’t miss on your list. However, you can always add on to the list any item you feel you really need to make your job comfortable as a parent.
