Checklist for Expecting Mothers
by Robert Meyer
If you are expecting you may want to start preparing early for the arrival of your new baby. Below is a checklist of things you will need when the baby arrives. I found this list in Consumer Reports and thought it would be helpful. You might want to start shopping early so you don’t have to incur a very large expense all at one time. It would also save some money if you had a baby shower and shared the list with friends and family.
Here is a checklist of what you should have on hand before your baby arrives.
Tooling around
_____Car seat
_____Stroller
Beds and linens
_____Crib
_____Crib mattress
_____Bassinet/cradle (if you don't want to put your baby in a crib right away)
_____Two to three fitted crib sheets
_____Four or more waffle-weave cotton receiving blankets for swaddling baby
_____Two mattress pads
_____One to two waterproof liners (for crib or Bassinet).
Diaper duty
_____Diapers. Disposable or cloth
_____Diaper pail. (Optional with disposables)
_____Diaper bag Dressing baby
_____Four sleeping outfits or onesies (one-piece sleepers), preferably with attached feet
_____Six side-snap T-shirts
_____Four to six one-piece undershirts that snap around the crotch
_____A small baby cap (although the hospital will probably give you one)
_____Six pairs socks/booties
_____Two to three soft, comfortable daytime outfits. Get only a few items in newborn size. Then,
go for clothing in the 6-month size--your baby will grow into it quickly. But don't buy baby
sleepwear that's too big; it'sa fire hazard
_____Cotton sweater or light jacket
Summer babies
_____Brimmed hat Winter babies
Winter babies

_____Breast pump if you expect to use one
_____Four small baby bottles with newborn nipples for expressed breast milk
_____Bottle drying tree
_____Bottle brush
_____Insulated bottle holder for diaper bag (the hospital may give you one)
_____Three packs of cloth diapers or burp cloths.
If you're planning to bottle-feed
_____Six 4- to 5-ounce bottles, plus nipples, rings, and a dishwasher basket if you use a dishwasher
Bathing/grooming
_____Three soft hooded towels
_____Two packs of baby washcloths
_____ Baby body wash that doubles as shampoo
_____Pair of blunt-tip scissors or baby-sized nail clippers
_____Zinc-oxide-based diaper rash ointment
_____Infant bathtub
_____Soft brush and comb
_____Mild laundry detergent
Medicine chest essentials
_____A pain-and-fever reducer recommended by your baby's doctor,
such as Infant's Tylenol

_____Monitor

In addition to shopping so you don’t have to incur a very large expense all at one time you should also do some price comparison research on the internet to save some money. My favorite site is http://www.bestbabythingsonline.com.

Essentials in Baby Nursery Furniture
The arrangement of your baby's room is very important and should be able to provide functionality for both parent and baby. Your nursery should be able to provide access for you to attend to your baby and should not be dominated by furniture. Baby furniture also makes excellent gifts for birthdays and weddings. Newly weds would love to receive baby furniture since they will not need to shop for baby furniture anymore.
Some furniture would be essential to your nursery. Your crib should be your nursery's centerpiece. You should choose a crib that will fit with the rest of your nursery pieces. Cradles are also great nursery furniture. Bassinets are used for children less than 4 months old. Changing tables are crucial pieces to your nursery as well. You could also opt for dresser/changer combinations if you want to save space and money. You will also need gliders to feed and bond with your babies.
Your crib will not be complete without nursery bedding. Nursery bedding should not only be aesthetically pleasing but they should also be able to provide comfort for the baby. Your nursery bedding will set the tone of your nursery which is why you should choose the correct bedding theme. The mattress will be the bedding's most crucial element. A standard mattress will fit in almost all cribs except round cribs. The mattress should have a foam inner liner and a high coil count. A quality quilt will go well with any crib. For protection, you would want to have crib sheets to shield your mattress from solid and dirt. You should not use pillows in your crib or your baby may acquire SIDS. Your crib would also want to have a bumper and a valance.
