Mother of one, Master of Education with specialization in child-psychology. After becoming mother, I met with real me. I am now learning new concepts of parenting every fresh day and sharing my experiences with other mothers. I believe, one of the most important things that you, as a parent, should work on is - your child's psychology. Understanding the child-psychology will help you build stronger bonds and know them better.

You know you won’t be able to shop around in the initial days when you come home with your newly born member. You will need several days to repair yourself after giving birth, your mobility will also change; now you won’t be able to move freely for a few weeks. In addition, the baby will require your full attention. So, it is advisable to buy all those things in advance. Here is a shopping list for a newborn baby.

1Diaper

Buy a single packet of baby nappies. Although many mothers have diapers before they reach the little home on maternity leave, you may find that the brand you choose does not please the baby. You’ll need to use more brands to figure out which are the best diapers for your baby.

2Clothes

Clothes are obviously very important, but you do not have to go to the shelves to buy them. You can also order them from online stores at much more affordable prices than you would have imagined and the products are delivered to the door.

Do keep in mind that, the baby grows fast enough in the first few months of life, so you do not have to buy a lot of clothes.

3Bibs

Your baby’s wardrobe should not miss the bibs. Bibs are a good way of keeping your baby’s clothes clean. Cotton bibs are recommended since birth.

4Overalls

Don’t miss to buy a few pairs of overalls. It is good for the baby to have 3-4 thick or thin overalls, depending on the season. They are very comfortable, stapled between the legs and give the baby mobility.

5Nightshirts

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies wear their nightgowns instead of being enveloped. Thus, the baby will be more relaxed and comfortable.

6Socks

It is also good for the baby to have 3-4 pairs of socks and socks in the wardrobe. They must be wide enough not to squeeze the little ones’ fingers. Because the baby is constantly moving, it is advisable to buy socks with an elastic band, because they fit better on the baby’s foot.

It is recommended not to shoe the shoe up until it learns to walk, as they can prevent the baby from developing and growing.

7Caps

Like clothing and socks, you should buy some caps according to the weather. These caps can very helpful in protecting your baby from changing (the house inside and outside the temperature) the environment and temperature.

8Baby Cosmetic/ Care Products

Buy soap, shower gel and special shampoo for newborns. Do not use the same products you use, because the baby’s skin may suffer. You also need talcum powder, baby massage oil (to be used after bathing), diaper rash cream (which protects the baby from diaper irritation) and wet wipes.

9Plastic and Teat Bottles

The most demanded products are nipples and teats. Even if you are breastfeeding, a nipple is indispensable, as it will surely require supplements for baby food.

There are plastic or glass bottles on the market. Glass bottles are considered to be safer and there is no risk that this material will harm the baby, but they are heavier than plastic and there is a risk of it breaking.

Make sure you have many 100 ml bottles for the newborn and buy 200 ml bottles for later. The safest ones are glass and plastic bottles without bisphenol A certified.

10Breast Pump

The breast pump is an essential device in nourishing the baby, being particularly useful immediately after birth when you have clogged canals. It helps to empty the breasts between the baby feeding episodes or collecting breast milk when you are away from the baby for longer periods of time. Offers on the market are divided into two categories: hand pumps and electric breast pumps.

11Electric Sterilizer

It will be useful if you feed the baby with a bottle or give it a sachet. On the utility of the sterilizer, opinions are divided. And the old method of sterilization, by which teats and soot were simply boiling, is an effective one. If you are breastfeeding exclusively and do not give the little sucker, the sterilizer will not be necessary.

12Bottle Brush

Bottle brush useful and if you are breastfeeding and you sometimes give it a but, not mandatory bottle, you can also use a sponge. If you give the formula, it is necessary, it greatly facilitates the washing of the bottles.

13Nursing Clothes

We do not recommend that special breastfeeding clothes are expensive and can be successfully replaced by normal clothing with a cut that allows quick and easy access to the breast.

But we advise you to have many rows of clothes in hand, for in the first few weeks after birth you will have the surprise to find that you are feeling pretty dull.

14Bath Tub

In the first few months, it’s difficult to wash your baby in the bathtub with you, so a bathtub will make it much easier. You can choose a baby-friendly caddy or a simple one and much cheaper!

15Bath Towel

There are plenty of very beautiful, colorful and beautiful towels on the market, but not all absorb water well, and few are so soft that the baby feels good in them.

16Diaper Change Table-cum-wardrobe

If your budget allows you can also buy a diaper changing table-cum-wardrobe. The diaper changing table provides parents with a safe, convenient and hygienic diaper changing environment. You can further use this table as a wardrobe for baby clothes.

17Crib

Look for a new crib with a solid structure with fixed sides and no patterns or cuts in which the baby can catch – if you find a crib already used, carefully check the structure and the joining systems. If you want babies to sleep with you, a very good choice is co-sleepers – there are three-sided cots and the fourth one attaches to your bed. In this way, the baby will be right next to you, but it will have its own sleeping space.

18Cushion Mattress

The child’s first mattress must be stiff. This is what Paediatrics and Orthopedics insist on. The rigid mattress provides the child with the necessary orthopedic support and proper back support.

The baby mattress cover lets you keep the mattress clean. These mattress covers are made of natural materials, respectively, they do not generate any discomfort for the little ones. Buy a new mattress! The mattress should be strong and fit perfectly into the bed structure.

19Swing

Within minutes, the soothing movement of the swing turns the crying baby into a happy baby and sleeps him. So, you should also consider purchasing a swing. There are also many options for this type of swing in the market. You can buy either an electrical or non-electrical swing according to your budget.

20Digital Thermometers

Digital thermometers are known as the most accurate and safest thermometers.

In one of our article, we have already discussed the dangers of using a mercury-based thermometer. Moreover, it is very hard to use a mercury-based thermometer, in case of a newborn.

21Car Seat

Although in countries like India, there is no such rule, yet we must consider buying a baby car seat. A baby car seat not only keeps a baby safe but also let us enjoy the journey.

22Stroller

The stroller is useful because it would be too difficult for the baby to be taken out of the house only in his arms.

Review - Luvlap Tutti Frutti Baby Stroller

At least until the baby walks alone, you will need a stroller. They are parents who use it even after the age of two.

23Audio or Video Monitor For Baby Room

You cannot be around your child all the times because once you are back to your normal health, then you have to deal with a lot of other household things, in addition to your baby’s care.

At such a time, you cannot be in two places at the same time. And you cannot overlook your baby’s safety too. Here, you need some audio or video monitor that are capable of tracking every move of your baby.

Try online and I am sure, you will be able to find a lot of helpful audio and video monitors.
