What do you need for a newborn? The most important things you could forget about

In your house everyone is looking forward to a joyful event - the baby will soon appear. Little babies need a lot of things that you did not have before because of uselessness. It would seem that nine months of pregnancy is quite enough to purchase everything you need without hurry and bustle. Nevertheless, many pregnant women either under the influence of their own internal fears, or under the influence of others begin to literally see in everything a bad sign for future offspring. Accordingly, things are not bought. This is postponed until the moment when the child is born.

That's only after the discharge from the maternity home time will be catastrophically missing. And the question arises - who and when will buy all the dowry, toys, furniture and other things for the baby? Hasty purchase at the last moment can turn into a bad mood - in the heat of purchased both necessary and absolutely useless things( and suddenly come in handy, so you do not run), poorly designed dimensions and characteristics of things. As a result, the cot takes up a lot of space or does not fit into the allotted space, the stroller could be bought and better, etc.

Good and bad omens

Let's start with the fact that women today have not lost faith in the varioussigns. An interesting situation only aggravates this. Only you can hear that you can not knit, sew or buy clothes for a future child in advance. And in advance to buy a crib or a carriage, so do not do anything. Meanwhile, your child still feels the mood of the mother in the womb, perceives her emotions and answers. And if you want to prepare everything carefully and in advance to acquire some things, then the child will feel that they are waiting for him and love that you need him. In addition, such training will save your nervous system from shocks, that nothing is ready yet. You will choose everything to your liking and you will know where it is( in contrast to the situation when shopping and doing your relatives spread all anywhere).

First, you should pay attention to the purchase of a crib and stroller. You can buy them in advance. The only thing is that they should not be empty until the child is born. There is a way - they put her in a doll, after having put on it anything from baby clothes - she will keep a place for the future baby.

Then you can gradually buy children's clothes, bedding and diapers. It is desirable to wash and iron them. Here works the same principle as for any new clothes - the fabric still contains the remains of paint and other substances that processed the thing. Washing will help get rid of them and make the fabric a little softer.

Overall dimensions

The need to purchase such things should be thought through very carefully. They occupy a lot of space in the apartment, and as a result may be completely unclaimed or used extremely rarely.


Crib. At first glance, this is the first thing to buy for a future child. However, there are many successful examples where parents are completely without a baby cot, and the baby is sleeping with his parents. Co-sleeping is good that my mom did not have to get up at night to feed the baby - feeding is carried out without unnecessary interference in bed. Thus, my mother, and at the same time my father, get better sleep. From the crib are also refused for other reasons - the child can not sleep quietly separately, for the crib there is no room in the room.



Stroller. This kind of child transport is very necessary. And at the same time it can give you a lot of inconvenience. Well, if you live in your home or the first - the third floor of a multi-storey building. To lower and lift a volumetric carriage several times a day from the fifth floor and above is unlikely to bring much joy. In addition, the question arises of its whereabouts, when there is not much space in the corridor. In such cases, it is worth looking at various options for slings and kangaroo rucksacks.

In the event that you intend to purchase a stroller, you will additionally need a mosquito net from insects for the summer and a raincoat. By the way, you can buy a special umbrella for the wheelchair, which will protect the baby not only from rain drops, but also from hot sun rays. It will also be necessary to buy a mattress in the stroller.

When choosing a wheelchair, pay attention to their stability, reliability of fasteners and quality of the material.

Bath. There is no urgent need to purchase it. If your bath is in good condition, then you can safely bathe the baby in it. Moreover, many pediatricians express themselves in favor of water procedures in a large bath, where the baby has room for movement and can be taught to swim at the same time. Most kids are delighted with sharing a bath with their mother( saving your time and a lot of positive emotions).So you do not need a separate bath. The disadvantage of the trays is their small volume - the water cools faster and the baby begins to experience discomfort, announcing it with his weeping. By the way, even if you are still thinking about buying a baby bath, then pay attention to the usual large basins. They cost less, and children grow quickly, and soon you will go swimming in a large bathtub. Plastic basins or bowls can then be adapted for washing.


Swaddling table. The experience of most young mothers shows that buying a separate table to swaddle a baby is wasted money. Practically in any house there is a desk that can be adapted for this purpose. And drawers and shelves used for children's clothing and necessary items. You can purchase a separate changing pad that lies on top of the washing machine( if you swaddle the baby immediately after bathing in the bathroom) or a baby crib. Some parents refuse to do anything at all, successfully swaddling a child on their own bed or couch.

Manufacturers of furniture for newborns offer prospective parents to evaluate the option of a cot combined with a changing table. Under it are boxes for children's things. Extra space such furniture will take not much more than just a cot, and the benefits will be more at the expense of a place for storing clothes.

Car seat. This item is only necessary if you have a car. This chair can be bought or rented as needed.

Bedding

Mattress. It should be of medium hardness. Do not buy too soft, so that later the child does not develop curvature of the spine. It is desirable that inside it there is a natural filler, for example coconut fiber, or hypoallergenic synthetic. The mattress must necessarily fit the size of the crib, so that there are no holes or tuberosity.

Blanket. There should be several. First, a warm blanket. Can be woolen, if there is no allergy. One blanket blanket, as well as a blanket. Plaids can be several - from everyday to festive festive. They can be used instead of a lightweight blanket, if connected from cotton, and to cover during a walk in cool weather( from wool and wool).For winter, it is not superfluous to get a warm down( again if there is no allergy) or a cotton blanket for walking.

Pillow. For newborn babies it is not required. Its necessity will come when your child will be about a year old. Then you can buy one.
Sheets. It is better, if they will be stretched on the mattress and stay on it with the help of rubber bands. On average, they are about five.
Duvet covers.2-3 pieces of the appropriate size for each blanket.

Diapers. In the warm season it is important to use cotton or cotton. In winter, it is advisable to use flannel, flannel. Quantity - from 10 to 25 pieces of each kind. Everything will depend on whether you use diapers around the clock or give the child the opportunity to sleep on an oilcloth covered with a diaper.

Bathing accessories

Towels. You can buy a special baby towel with a corner, which is worn on the head of the baby. You can use a regular bath towel of a large size. Choose terry towels, in which the pile is long and fluffy, so as not to injure the delicate baby skin.


To measure water temperature, you may need an water thermometer , although this is not necessary. Also you should buy a baby soap and a separate soap box for him. Children's shampoo, foam you will need a little later, as well as a natural mitten or sponge for bathing.

Separately it is necessary to have some therapeutic dry herbs , which are brewed and infusion is added to the water for bathing the baby. You can use both separate grasses and gatherings. Only consult a doctor before using them, because some can cause drying of tender baby skin.

Children's clothing

Do not buy a lot of veshchichek - in the first year the child is growing rapidly and just do not have time to bear it all. Clothing for up to six months, choose with a clasp on the shoulders or between the legs. Newborn babies do not like to change their clothes, so when changing a diaper or a dirty blouse will be capricious.

For the first time you will need:

• Overalls light cotton( up to three months no more than 2-3 pieces), for children born in autumn or winter - warm overalls with closed legs.
  
• A sleeping bag or an envelope with zippers( buttons) is necessary for restless toddlers, so that they do not open during sleep. This thing is very convenient for walking in a wheelchair in winter.
  
• Cotton body. Very comfortable with a clasp between the legs, because they allow you to change the baby's diaper without undressing it completely. They will need 2-3 pieces. Also buy 2 pieces of thin and flannel raspashonok( blouses, shirts), and to them sliders.
  
• Socks( 2-3 pairs), so as not to overcool the legs of a newborn baby. For cold time, store mittens, but it is better if the overalls have pockets, pockets for pens. For a child, it is advisable to buy lightweight mittens-scratches, so that you do not scratch your skin with your nails, or buy pajamas with already sewn mittens.
  
• For cool weather and in winter you will need hats. In order not to wash them daily, they are better suited for wearing light or flannel bonnets. Such a cap can be put on the child and indoors.
  

You will also need bibs. And the more, the better.

Children's first aid kit and hygiene products

Note that skin care products, antipyretic and colic are worth buying only after consulting a doctor. For everyday use, you will need a cotton swab with stoppers( for cleaning the ears) and regular, cotton balls and a sterile bandage( gauze), cleansing napkins in a closing package.


Also in the medicine cabinet should be scissors with rounded tips, comb or soft hair brush, pipettes( separately for the eye, nose, ear), enema or rubber pear, children's aspirator.

From antiseptic means you will need hydrogen peroxide, zelenka, alcohol.

The contents of the first aid kit should be regularly reviewed to identify overdue drugs, as well as to replenish those funds that are already running out.
