What To Get For Your Baby Before They Arrive

When you are pregnant you then have only so many months to prepare yourself and the home for the baby that is coming. There are a lot of things you might get as gifts from others, but some of the things you might want to focus on yourself are things like top-quality clothing such as olive & the captain, a few nursery requirements, and Kinn baby silicone toys, so here is a look at some of the items you will need to buy.

A place for the baby to sleep

When you have a baby you might want a couple of options for them to sleep, somewhere downstairs with you where they might fall asleep and they can stay and be comfortable and then a crib for their nursery. Make sure you get options that are age appropriate.

Something to push the baby around in

When you are out shopping, doing chores, and so on you will need something you can put the baby in to push them around in. Most people do not want to have to carry their baby around everywhere. A pram or pushchair that is again age appropriate is needed. Make sure it is safe, comfortable for them to be in, and for you to push, and is warm. Consider what happens if it starts raining and how quickly you can protect them. How easy is it to get onto a bus or train? What system best meets your needs and lifestyle?

Get a new car seat

You should not use a secondhand car seat, you need to make sure it has not been in an accident, a damaged seat is not as safe. The biggest problem new parents have is fitting the seat correctly so follow the instructions carefully. Again make sure the seat you start out with is suitable for newborns.

Baby clothing

You do not need a lot of newborn-sized clothing, babies in that first year grow quickly. Good quality olive & the captain clothes are a good option and keep in mind clothes is often the thing you get gifted a lot of. 

Equipment to change the baby

The things you need depend on whether you are using reusable nappies for the sake of the environment, or using disposable ones. But a place to change them, cloths to wipe them, lotion, the nappies themselves, cream for rashes and such are needed. You might also consider a good bin that prevents the smell from spreading!

Feeding the baby

If you are breastfeeding you might want to get a pump, a nice pillow, and then some burp cloths. You can breastfeed anywhere but some like to have a good comfortable chair to do it in. You might also want a special cloth to use to cover up as you feed the baby out in public. If you are bottle feeding then you will need nipples, bottles, formula and such. When they start eating solids you will want Kiin baby silicone mats, spoons, bowls and bibs.
