So what do we need to buy for when the baby comes home?

[faye83]

So I have no idea what to get since 1) I'm a first time mom, 2) All my family is gone and no one around me can give me advice (all friends are child-less) and 3) I still can't find prenatal classes in my area.
This is what I've got so far:
-The co-sleeper (actually we are getting it in 2 weeks), and one blanket for it
- Baby swaddlerme-s
- Nail cutter for babies
- All kinds of clothes, and I already washed them with baby detergent
- Got nipple pads and nipple cream for yours truly (planning on breastfeeding)
- One of those things for carrying your baby next to you

I know I need to get a car seat so that shall come soon. But besides that, is there anything else I need to buy that is completely necessary for when the baby arrives from the hospital? (besides diapers of course lol and baby wipes?)

Thanks! Yeah I didn't know about the bouncer seat until I read some lists online. Seems like a good idea! the boppy pillow one too, thank you!!

Lets see...Blankets, burp rags, baby tub, baby rags, wash, lotion...Are you planning on getting a swing Or bouncer seat, always nice to have around. Boppy pillow for you to use during breastfeeding....

You can alway go on target Or walmart . com and they usually have a list for new mommys to be, to make sure you get everything....

I always get Alcohol wipes for the babys cord, they says you dont have to use it anymore, but I always do and will, with this one. I think it helps it heal and full off sooner...Its doesnt hurt either way.

Its alway nice to have some baby gas drops around the house, you might not have to use them, but if you do you have it!
