   Register yourself at places like Target, Baby’s R Us, and just wonder around with the scanner and anytime you see something you like or need, scan it. Take your time and you will be able to find everything you ever thought possible especially at Baby’s R Us. You can also register online I think.

   Newborn necessities checklist
   A master list for moms and dads

   Consumer Reports Video
   BUYING ADVICE
   Newborn necessities

   Here’s a checklist of what you should have on hand before your baby arrives.

   Tooling around
   _____Car seat.
   _____Stroller.

   Beds and linens
   _____Crib.
   _____Crib mattress.
   _____Bassinet/cradle (if you don’t want to put your baby in a crib right away).
   _____Two to three fitted crib sheets.
   _____Four or more waffle-weave cotton receiving blankets for swaddling baby
   _____Two mattress pads.
   _____One to two waterproof liners (for crib or bassinet).

   Diaper duty
   _____Diapers. Disposables: One 40-count package of newborn (birth weight under 8 pounds) or of
   size 1 (birth weight over 8 pounds). Cloth: Two to three dozen, plus six to 10 snap-on, waterproof
   outer pants, and two to three sets of diaper pins, eight to 10 all-in-ones or diaper system covers;
   two to three dozen diaper system inserts.
   _____Diaper pail (with refills or bags as needed).
   _____Diaper bag.

   Dressing baby
   _____Four sleeping outfits or one-piece sleepers with attached feet.
   _____Six side-snap T-shirts.
   _____Four to six one-piece undershirts that snap around the crotch.
   _____A small baby cap (although the hospital will probably give you one).
   _____Six pairs socks/booties.
   _____Two to three soft, comfortable daytime outfits. Get only a few items in newborn size. Then, go for
   clothing in the 6-month size–your baby will grow into it quickly. But don’t buy baby sleepwear
   that’s too big–it’s a safety hazard.
   _____Cotton sweater or light jacket.

   Summer babies
   _____Brimmed hat.

   Winter babies
   _____Snowsuit with attached mittens or fold-over cuffs, or heavy bunting.
   _____Heavy stroller blanket.
   _____Warm knit hat.

   Feeding time
   If you’re planning to breast-feed:
   _____Three to five nursing bras.
   _____A box of washable or disposable breast pads.
   _____Breast pump if you expect to use one (manual or electric).
   _____Four small baby bottles with newborn nipples for storing expressed breast milk.
   _____Bottle-drying tree.
   _____Bottle brush.
   _____Insulated bottle holder for diaper bag (the hospital may give you one).
   _____Three packs of cloth diapers or burp cloths.
   If you’re planning to bottle-feed:
   _____Six 4- to 5-ounce bottles, plus nipples, rings, and a dishwasher basket if you use a dishwasher.

   Bathing/Grooming
   _____Plastic infant bathtub.
   _____Three soft hooded towels.
   _____Two packs of baby washcloths.
   _____Baby body wash that doubles as shampoo.
   _____Pair of blunt-tip scissors or baby-sized nail clippers.
   _____Zinc-oxide-based diaper rash ointment.
   _____Soft brush and comb.
   _____Mild laundry detergent.

   Medicine chest essentials
   _____A pain-and-fever reducer recommended by your baby’s doctor, such as Infant’s Tylenol.
   _____Cotton pads/swabs.
   _____Nasal aspirator.
   _____Digital rectal thermometer.
   _____Rubbing alcohol.
   _____Petroleum jelly.

   Keeping baby happy
   _____Pacifiers.

   Extras: Nice but optional
   _____Baby monitor.
   _____Changing table.
   _____A rocker or glider.
   _____Sling or strap-on soft carrier.
   _____Boppy, a doughnut-shape pillow designed to make holding baby during breastfeeding or
   bottlefeeding easier.
   _____Nursing coverup. Attaches at your neck and allows for private breastfeeding when you and your
   baby are in public.
   _____Infant swing.
   _____Bouncy seat.
   _____Night-light.

   Well as always, bibs, socks, onsies, recieving cloths, blankets, baby monitors (depending on the size of your house, but like most mothers you probably will know when your little one is crying), diaper bag, swing, stroller, bassinet, crib, changing table.
   Unusual things are: cant quite remember the name, but it is like a firm pillow that you adjust to the baby so that they dont turn on their sides, rocking chair.
   But the most memorable gifts to recieve are: Piggy banks, Treasure boxes, memory books, picture frames, and The Fussy Baby Book (it has baby cry meanings in it, I honestly dont know how we would have gotten along without it).
   These are just some basics I’m sure there are things you would want for baby that others dont use. Everyone’s different!
   Good Luck and Congratualtions!
