At 17 weeks 5 days and into my 2nd trimester, it's time to start baby planning! After some research online and poring through forums, I've consolidated my own personal list of "needs". In my next few posts, I'll post some luxury wants (i.e. stuff I've found in online stores that I just may not be able to resist)!
| Sleeping | |
| Cot / Mattress / Sheets | |
| Waterproof Liners | To protect the mattress and sheets. |
| Bassinet | For day-time rocking. |
| Changing / Bathing | |
| Baby Bathtub | Preferably one with a plug so it's easy to release water after baths. |
| Change Table | We will need a space-saver; one that sits on top of the crib and is also portable. |
| Towels / Face Washers | One for everyday of the week to minimise washing. |
| Diapers | About 10-12 per day for the first few weeks. |
| Nappy Wipes | |
| Cotton Wool / Buds | |
| Nappy Rash Cream | |
| Diaper Bin | |
| Going Out | |
| Baby Sling / Carrier | Liking the Baby Bjorn! |
| Stroller | So far, we love the Peg Perego Pliko Switch... |
| Infant Carseat | |
| Dressing Baby | |
| Onesies! | Pretty sure I'll be needing plenty of these! |
| Mittens & Bootees | |
| Swaddle Cloths | |
| Feeding Baby | |
| Burp Cloths | |
| Nursing Bra | |
| Breastpump | So far, the Medela's seem to triumph in terms of "popularity". |
| Bottles for expressed milk | |
| Bottle Steriliser | |
| Breastpads | |
Phew! That's a pretty long list of stuff for a teeny baby! I'm sure it's not even complete yet and knowing myself, I will end up with plenty of useless things that are just to "cute" to resist. We shall see!
I really like your take on the issue. I now have a clear idea on what this matter is all about..
