Afternoon ladies, what would you put on a must-have baby list for the first few months? I’ve got a while to go but I would like to start putting a plan together so I can get bits and pieces over time and start feeling like I’m getting prepared - I’m a FTM and have lots to learn! I’ve written some items down and started looking around but would love some guidance so I can create a good checklist 🙂

Alot of muslins and bibs....alot!!!

Baby bouncer a lifesaver for me when I had my daughter, it was first on my list this time 😉

Prep machine if you are bottle feeding
Ewan sheep was a life saver as well

Heyyy
Things i find super useful
-muslins
-prep machine
-nappy bin
-nappy caddy for downstairs
-dummy clips

I bought tubs that hang on the side of changing table from IKEA and hung them on end of next to me crib so everything was to hand nappies, wipes etc all fitted in to them

If your breastfeeding get maternity bras loads of breast pads as I leaked quite bad. If your bottle feeding get a tommee tippee prep machine they are a life savour.

Sooo many breast pads 🤦♀️ I found overhead bibs to be easier than the ones that do up, as many muslins as you have room for 😂 I wish I had bought a sling/baby carrier so definitely would recommend that. Our most used item has got to be the playmat with hanging toys, he was interested since birth and especially loved the toy that plays music and has flashing lights! X

Muslin swaddle blankets!

Water wipes, they’re the best for a new babies skin as mine got bad nappy rash even with “natural wipes” water wipes are the best xx

If you're planning on breastfeeding I'd recommend reusable breast pads as they save you so much money, nipple cream. Lots and lots of muslin cloths, we thought we had enough but needed to get more haha, formula in case you need to top up as I personally wasn't producing enough milk when my lo was born. Breastfeeding vitamins, vitamin D for baby. High waisted knickers for yourself as I found these very comfortable after I'd had my lo. Plenty of bibs, vests and onesies xx
