Checklist of Items for New Baby's Arrival
The birth of a child is one of the greatest moments in a person's life. There are many things that you will need to do to prepare for your new baby's arrival. So many in fact that it can leave a new parent's head spinning and their wallets empty.
What is really necessary to buy? What can you do without? Below is a list of the items that we used with both of our girls and highly recommend. I've also made note of some of the more popular items that people buy that may not be necessary.
Baby's Room
1. Dresser - for all the baby clothes that you will be getting as gifts.
2. Nightlight – It helps not to bang your knee on the dresser when you go into check baby at night
3. Books – that will help the baby as she grows, like the bible stories!
4. Lamp – for checking baby always
Feeding
1. Nursing Pillow - help mom to be comfortable while nursing
2. Breast Pump - for those times when mom just needs a break or has to go back to work.
3. Bottles - make sure they are BPA free.
5. Booster Seat. - That will have you during breaks feeding
Clothing
1. One piece outfits - babies will live in these in the early months, so much easier than trying to put on a two piece outfit on such a wee baby
2. Socks and Shoes – shoes not necessary yet, but socks are a must
3. Teething Bibs – needed so you do not change cloths always once he/she starts drooling

Fun Stuff
