Help?

[Jan3014]

I'm a ftm. And I'm just wondering what stuff is needed for the first few months for a baby? As in furniture? I just have a crib at the moment. I'm 35w 1day. I won't be out of my house in the first few months because I'm going to be brestfeeding. And I don't want to buy stuff that isn't neccacery? And thoughts?

A boppy pillow is great to have for feeding and the baby can lay in it.  Mine has been pricelessthe past 2 babies!

Oh okay that makes sense :) I agree with the ladies above, breast pump, freezer bags for milk are great!, you'll probably want a nursing bra to, they make it so much easier!

Bottles are actually good. So is a breast pump. If you are with your spouse it comea in handy. Breast feed off one breast pump off the other. Label the bottles, night and day. I say this because as weird as it is, day milk keeps baby energized, night milk puts them to sleep, or relaxs them. So at times when you are tired and don't want to feed baby, your spouse can feed baby with bottles! It helps A LOT. Also you might want to get the baby bath so you can bathe him/her.

For the first few months I found a bouncer/swing useful. My son also liked to look up at the dangly toys, so a floor mat with hanging toys was nice too. For breastfeeding, I personally suggest a pump and storage (like bottles and/or freezer bags) for the milk.

Okay thanks and I didn't mean I can't leave my house I mean like I'm going to be breast feeding what would I be getting? Like should I buy bottles and formula? Sorry I didn't make it clear.

A bouncer or swing and a changing table. Cab I ask why breastfeeding means you can't leave your house?
