ftm baby stuff question

[1st_time_mommyscarbro]

I am due August 4th》What do I need to for sure buy for my baby boy? I can buy everything but I dont want to buy things he wont even use. So far I only have clothes, blankets and crib stuff. I just know he will grow out of everything so fast and dont want to go overboard. And I do have a carseat and stroller picked out but thats it. I dont have much experience with boys we have 11 nieces and 3 nephews we rarely ever see. Any advice will help :) Thanks in advance!!!

I'm a ftm but most of my friends all have little boys so I've gotten lots of practice gripe water was a miracle I'm from Tennessee and just about every store with a pharmacy will have it don't go overboard on clothes but the big sleeper sacks are great and they usually fit up to 12 months if you're bottle feeding pick a good bottle that reduces the air they get for Colic there are a few really good ones that aren't super expensive and lots of receiving blankets they are the best burp cloths the burp cloths you buy are to small for the job

Where did you get that at?

For gas get gripe water! It's amazing and all natural! 10x better than gas drops!! It helped my son so much when he was born!!

Also sleepers with the feet in them! Zippers worked best for me but some like buttons! It was so easy for me to change my little man at night when I just had to unzip pull his legs out change him and zip him back up!!

Car seat (they wont let baby leave hospital without one) place to sleep be it a crib bassinet or pack n play. SOME clothes I had alot my son never wore. Diapers n wipes but I wouldn't get too many stocked up or keep receipts cuz some babies are allergic to some brands once u know what works for ur baby u can always get bigger sizes in diapers n clothes lo will always grow never shrink.  Wipe warmers are a waste of time depending on where u change baby u can just fold up a towel. If ur bfing id say lanolin cream is a must and if u want anyone else to feed baby or u go back to work a pump (check ur insurance as they may pay for one)
