Things you have to obtain for the good start. Of course,
the list of obligatory things to each mum are different but the main things are
the same.
At first
you have to buy some baby clothes. I would suggest you not to buy „newborn” or 56.size. You can buy this size if you are
sure that this size will fit your baby or for the first baby cloth set after
birth. Size 0 – 3 mth/62.size will be more reasonable purchase. You can buy:
- first baby clothing set;
- 3 long armed bodysuits;
- 2 short armed bodysuits;
- 5 dungarees or pants;
- 2 jackets (rather without hood);
- few pairs of socks, one pair should be thicker;
- 2 cotton hats;
- few pairs of cotton mittens for the first week;
- 2 – 3 long armed shirts (these can put on short armed bodysuits);
- few pairs of tights (very comfy, I understood it after my first child).
Afterwords you’ll already know what kind of clothes you
have to buy, what is more comfortable for your baby (and for you to put on
him). This list can be changed, it depends on season. In winter you will also
have to buy thicker hat and snowsuit. Dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. are up to
you J
You have
to obtain diapers or nappies (read in my previous rewiew „Diapers or
nappies?”).
You have
to buy a bed for your baby. It can be regular rack bed or you can buy a cradle.
You have to remember that cradle will fit up to 6 months max. Afterwords you
will have to obtain regular bed. I bought regular beds for my kids, for my daughter
(she’s the youngest child) I wanted cradle, but I changed my mind. I am happy
of that because my girl is very active since her birth and she could fall out
from the cradle easily. There are many parents who buy travel beds. I wouldn’t suggest it because
this type of bed is for travel. This bed’s base isn’t firm, stable and hard,
you shouldn’t use it daily.
Next of
the big purchases is baby carriage. In this rewiew I will tell about types of
carriages.
For
infants the best are prams with firmy and hard base. It is the best for the backs
health of a small baby. Baby should lie on the hard, straight surface.
Strollers with folding back can’t ensure that. In prams under the cotton inner
part is board. You can buy big heavy pram with swing function with pram only or
you can buy 3 in 1 carriage which includes pram, stroller and carseat. The time
which baby will sleep in pram is different. There are babies who want to see
the world as soon as they learn sitting or crawling (like my oldest kid) and there
are babies who sleep in pram up to a year. It is hard to suggest between big
pram and 3 in 1 carriage. Nobody knows how long the baby will sleep in pram. It
is up to you. Of course, you have to decide between these two types taking into
account your cars trunk ( if you will transport carriage).
There
also are few stuff like bottles (if you don’t want or can’t do breastfeeding),
nipples, some cotton sheets, baby bath, baby lotion. Great stuff is big
gymnastic ball where you can sit and swing with baby in your hands helping your
baby to fall asleep. It can help to cope with baby colic also.
With my
youngest baby I found out the magic of sling. It is the greatest invention! You just put your baby in
sling and you can do everything. Baby falls asleep almost at once. You can go
shopping, walking, doing some homeworks. Great! In sling baby feels safe and
comfy, he hears your heartbeats that calms him. You can use it since your baby
is few weeks old (even earlier).
