Posted by BridgetBurke

Here are my list of essentials (not including diapers which you will of course need!). I had bought a ton of stuff I never used with DS or didn't use until much later.

For right away:

1. Infant car seat with detachable base. Do not get the travel system with the stroller. It is huge, heavy and does not fold well to fit in vehicle. I had an SUV with DS and if I took the stroller I couldn't put more than 2 bags of groceries in it. Instead opt for a frame stroller. It fits the infant car seat and is super lightweight (and cheaper).

2. Pack n play with bassinet sleeper. I know some people like a bassinet for their bedroom, but the pack n play is more practical. You will want baby to sleep in the same room as you for a few months (especially if you breastfeed). Both options accomadate that, but after baby grows out of the bassinet you are stuck with a worthlass piece whereas the pack n play can grow with your child. (We still use ours when we travel because I don't trust hotel ones.)

3. Infant tub. Makes bath time so mush easier. My son still prefers his (We got the Summer brand infant spa tub. Looks like a claw foot tub. Used an insert when he was small to bathe him) Also, saves water and decreases the amount of water he can splash. (Super bonus! LOL.)

4. Infant towel and washcloths and baby bath and lotion.

5. Infant "bouncy" seat. Great to put baby in to nap while you get stuff done. Great to move to your bathroom so you can shower while baby snoozes and not worry about them being alone in their room.

6. Everyone loves cute baby clothes and they are so hard to resist, but unless we had pics or a dr appt I found myself daily going to the old faithfuls of onesies and cozy sleepers. Comfy for baby and easy on you for the many diaper changes and "blowouts" you will experience in a day.

7. A Boppy!! Whether you nurse or not. Great for baby to rest on (with supervision) and do tummy time on. Also, handy to comfortably bottle feed (and that was from DH when he would give mommy a break and feed DS expressed milk) and hold baby.

8. Any tummy time mat. DS loved the jungle theme one we had. Lots of bright colors.

This is just a small list. feel free to ask me about any item you are unsure of. I will answer as honest as I can. Also, go to the store and try everything out. Unhook carseats and fold up and push strollers. Be hands on! Afterall, it's your money. They should be happy to show you stuff. (Babies r us has no problem with this.) Happy shopping!!View Thread
