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.

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.

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.
Philips Avent 260ml Natural Feeding Bottle (Clear)
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.

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.

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!

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.
