What Items Would You Say Are A Must Have For A Baby?
It's been a while (7 years) since I have had a baby and we have a little man due in March. Looking for what you ladies think are must haves for babies now adays. I know it's only been 7 years but things have changed, even since then. So, if you would do me a favor, please list items your think are must haves for a baby. Including the very basic items. My mind is drawing a blank (pregnancy brain). LOL!
Boobs
Boppy
Blanket
Diapers
Wipes
Outfits
Those are honestly all I used the first few months. If you aren't BFing, you'll need
Nipples
Formula
Bottles
Way to santize bottles
Water (Tap isn't best for bottles, either boil and put away for later, or just use bottled water is what they suggest.)
Formula
A bouncy/ vibrating chair is must when they stop sleeping all the time. You can set them in there on the counter or table while you cook, on the bathroom floor while you bath or shower.
A carrier or wrap or sling (I'm not one of those that is against strollers bit sometimes it's nice to have your hands free. I used a carrier daily for walks)
Other good to haves: a good swing (love my mamaroo), white noise machine, humidifier (depending where you live), play parc, baby bath
Obviously there are necessities like the 1st reply stated but these are "make life easier must haves"
I'm sorry but I must comment on this. Such an item is wasteful and not environmentally appropriate. If your infant doesn't like the wipes cold they can be simply held in one's hand for moment to warm them without the need to buy anything or use electricity. Our children need a healthy home planet more than they need electrically heated wipes!

The wipe warmer was a must have for my son. He wwould scream like crazy if the wipes were cold.

Diaper Genie, bouncer, swing, Boppy pillow, feeding supplies (pump if bf, formula, bottles, nipples, etc for ff), plenty of diapers (buy a couple different brands and sizes, in case baby is allergic to some), plenty of wipes (you can get hypoallergenic ones), diaper rash cream, clothes. Larger receiving blankets for swaddling, infant car seat (with an extra base if you have multiple vehicles), stroller or carrier (I used both, depending on how fussy baby was), cloth diapers (work great for burp cloths). That's pretty much everything I used for the first 6 months, aside from a few toys once they got big enough to play with them.
I agree! I didn't post this post to get drama started over what's good for the environment and what's not. Just looking for some help here. Opinions are great, but the drama stuff not so much.
