I recently got home from a baby shower that had been held for our a friend of ours and as she opened these items, I kept thinking of how much money they spend on kids products. There are only five items you need for the baby. If you think men like cool gadgets the most, think again, new grandmothers and mothers are peculiar on just what they need for her baby, particularly new mother's. Through my own, personal knowledge about having babies, lots of this stuff isn't a necessity. Whenever our 2nd child was delivered I did not need a lot of the meaningless stuff, the best essential things I already obtained, with the exception of a few new items we splurged on, simply because the baby items we had were outdated. Plus it is usually enjoyable to get something new for the new child, especially when you had a son and the new baby is a daughter - or vice versa.
Do you want new baby items? These are the five essentials:
Baby Car Seat. You have to have a car seat for your baby, and also it is the law if the infant is under a particular age in most states. Top customer reports and rating agencies suggest that you buy a replacement for the new baby. Each infant may fit differently and brand new ones tend to be developed within the updated safety specifications. And if it's brand new, most likely it has a warranty.
Baby Beds. If you have a baby crib, it would be smart to at the least get a new baby bed mattress. To begin with you might have your infant in bed along with you, but later on down the road your will want the baby within their own bed. Check to ensure the baby crib you have is not on the recall list. Occasionally those things happen and you want to make sure they're safe and you each get a great full night's sleep.
Stroller. Child strollers are just like you automobile, you cannot have a baby and never have a stroller to help you transport all your baby gear whenever your away from home. A travel system stroller includes a baby seat, however as your child becomes older they may out grow it, so you don't want to invest too much on the first stroller if you don't think it will last you that very long. Another suggestion would be to put it on the baby shower checklist and have other people to get it for you. Baby Jogger and Joovy are a couple of common brands.
Bouncey Seat. Infants are amused with bouncing and a bouncie seat has a couple of functions. First it is relaxing for them due to its motions and you can prop up a baby bottle while they sit down inside it. Another type of bouncie seat enables the baby to bounce as they walk around. It is not a must have, nevertheless it sure will prove useful. The ones that are reclined will allow them to nap and rest while you feed them the baby bottle.
Bottles. Breast feeding may be the natural way to feed the baby, however, you may also want a baby bottle to place your own milk inside if there isn't time to breast feed. However, in case you don't breast feed, you will want baby bottles to help you feed your child the milk that makes them grow and in good health. Do not use the little 4 ounce baby bottles, because before you realize it they will be drinking six to eight oz of milk.
Other things you will need are clothes, infant formula and baby diapers. These things are not essential baby items, they are always needed and you will get these anyways. The baby diapers and baby formula are disposable items. Baby outfits may be obtained as hand me downs or from the older kids.
You might not really need a child bath tub. We utilized one for our first baby, but then soon noticed we could of used the kitchen or bath room sink. They may grow out of the infant's first bathtub real quickly and you can take a shower along with your infant. A highchair is useful, we might of said this as No. 6 on the listing because they need the high chair when they can stay up and hold their very own bottle. Soon afterwards they'll be eating solid foods. Developmental toys and games and books are available at baby stroller shops or from some other parents that are somewhat used but still in very good condition.
It's not necessary to spend a lot of money on innovative baby gear or break the college savings. However their are several baby accessory items that you just cannot do without, for instance Baby Car Seats, Baby Cribs, Baby strollers, Bouncie Seat and Bottles. Don't break the bank for his or her future.
