4"Buy Later" category you will all curse us when you forget to buy it and four
months later your baby suddenly erupts in teeth in the middle of the night.)
Diapers (Yeah, you'll need a slew of these. A couple small packages of the
newborn size and a giant box of the size ones should cover you for a couple
weeks. If you plan to use cloth,
here's a comprehensive guide to selecting styles
and brands
(we suggest SAMPLING before committing to a system) and how many
diapers you'll need for a newborn and older baby.)
Wipes (Some newborn skin cannot tolerate wipes of any kind at first, while
other babies are fine. Get fragrance and alcohol-free wipes (or cloth), and also a
giant bottle of
Cetaphil
to use instead in case of a bad rash or skin irritation. Travel-
sized wipes for the diaper bag are a good idea too.)
Diaper rash cream
(Different brands too).
Dye- and fragrance-free laundry detergent (It does NOT have to say "baby" on it,
by the way. In fact, many of the "baby" detergents are just loaded up with fake
baby-powder fragrance that may irritate newborn skin.)
First Aid
kit.
Infant medications, like
Mylicon
drops,
gripe water
and
Infant
Tylenol.
(ALWAYS CHECK with your pediatrician before giving ANYTHING to a newborn,
however.)
Baby
monitor.
Buy Later
Any type of baby-proofing product. (Seriously. They aren't born mobile and lack
the hand-eye coordination required to stick forks into the outlets.)
Bath toys. (Newborns? Not big toy fans, no matter how precious that teeny
rubber duck may seem.)
Potty seats
and stepstools.
