Things for Baby?

I’m trying to fill in some of the gaps of the baby stuff I currently have but have no idea what would be good to have. I already have the necessities: car seat, crib, bassinet, clothes, breast pump and a stroller. I have some other things too like a few toys, books, swaddles, diapers and wipes. Is there anything else you have bought for baby or from a previous pregnancy? Things that get forgotten or are super helpful for a FTM? If you have a list to share I would be super grateful! TYIA!

Sounds like you already have a great stock! Some other things to consider— nipple balm if BF, rash cream (earth mama is a good one), bibs, a wrap/ something to wear baby, sound machine, changing pad with covers. These are all extras but nice to have!

I also loved my haakaa

Pacifiers, nursing pillow, diaper bag & medical/hygiene items ❤️

Definitely nipple balm even if just pumping. They will crack and HURT at the beginning. I think that was the one emergency thing I had to rush from Amazon with my first! Tummy time mat/play mat for the floor. Some sort of portable bassinet/bouncer/convertible seat. Infant Tylenol so you have it when you need it that first time. How are you doing baths? Baby shampoo, lotion, washcloth at least. I have a cute flower mat that we put in the sink when they're newborns. Doesn't have to be a fancy baby tub, but they're so little and slippery it's good to have something supportive and/or cushiony.

A white noise machine. Babies sleep better with it.

Definitely get a catcher if you plan to breast feed so you can catch on the other side while nursing on one. But the catchers are also kinda nice for at night so you don’t leak everywhere

I think you have more than enough. Trust me less is best. And as time goes you will see what you need. The best part is Amazon/Target carry so many things. You can always have someone close to you run and get you what you need at the time. Don’t stress. You got this!!

Nipple balm !!!!! Bottle warmer and wipe warmer ! Basically a supply organizer for your bed side ! To make it easier to change baby in middle of night and feeding ! And anything for gas if baby is gonna be bottle feed
