Baby wrap

@Jenny do you like these more than baby carriers???

A place for baby to sleep A breastfeeding pillow Diapers Wipes Sleepers with elastic or ties at the bottom (no snaps or zippers)

@Sara ye especially for new born phase when my lg out grew hers we got a lenny lamb carrier shes 1½ now

@Ellie thank you! I have all of that besides a breastfeeding pillow :)

Muslins Zippy baby grows for night time Good quality wipes (obviously nappies too) Top and tail bowl Not an essential but nice - nappy caddy

@Sara i found a normal pillow under elbow worked just as well if not better personal preference

Night light for the late night feeds. The last thing you want to do is turn on the big bright light in the middle of the night. We have the Nodiee which doubles as white noise. Baby bouncer for a safe place to put baby incase you’re alone and need to put baby somewhere they won’t roll away. Nappy caddy- you’ll realise you’re going to end up changing baby anywhere and everywhere, having that caddy available makes things a lot easier. Baby mirror - babies love looking at themselves specially during tummy time. Thermometer. Sleeping bags - the love to dream ones are amazing, I swear it’s because of this bags both my boys have slept through from an early age. Or just any good sleep sack. Depending where your baby will be napping and sleeping at night I’d get a baby monitor too - we have cubo and it’s great it notifies me of everything when baby is in his cot.

A trolley on wheels to put postpartum care bits on, and the babies nappies etc Baby carrier,zip babygrows, nappy caddy,night light,sleeping bags

24 hour setting on the bottle warmer lol

Nosefrida (to suck snot), they breath through their nose so if it gets blocked they have trouble feeding, so I found this essential as they can be quite mucusy at first x

Definitely a baby carrier/ wrap. I don’t know how I would have survived without one.

Muslin cloths , baby carrier / wrap ( wrap was better for newborn stage ) during the night feeds for yourself a stash of drinks and snacks to reach easily ; also nappy caddy

nose frida, bottle warmer, MITTENS

Rocking chair for feeding! I can't live without it till date. Aquaphor for diaper rash, dryskin,eczema Baby brezza for formula feeding Swaddles NB and size 1 diapers ( in case baby skips NB size) Baby lounger Noise machine with night light Baby head shaping pillow for initial months( not to be used in crib or bassinet) Nail trimmer and nasal tweezers Sleeping bag Nipple cream/ pumps if breast feeding

@swathy Hello Swathy I have a question on baby head pillow. They say you should use it to avoid flat head. Where do you use it during nights while baby sleeping in the bassinet or crib ?

They say it should not be used in bassinet or crib but I have used it most of the day when I could monitor him. I stopped using it when he started rolling over.

During nights I used to use it as well in his bassinet and I used to check on him every now and then. Although it is not recommended
