What do I need to buy for my forthcoming child? (1 Viewer)

The only thing that always worked to quiet herself was holding her horizontally with her back facing the ground and bouncing. Too much side-to-side movement with rocking chairs, didn't work for us

Up and down the stairs. I did 185 up an downs one night. Like an idiot.

Essential purchase Billy.

Spurs shirt.

Gnome sane?

Good point. Might go for the third kit - there'll be brown everywhere!

Hoho
Counting=a bad idea. I got into the habit of counting bounces for a while, stopped cos it got depressing (2 thousand and one, 2 thousand and 2, ...)

i think this thread is more intimidating than egg's my kid is a melter one. At least my nipples are safe.

All newborn kids need my entire back catalogue of releases bought at stupidly high prices through the 'pay what you want' section. This is good advice. Link in bio.

Congrats!
New babies don't need much. Food, clothes and somewhere to sleep.

I highly recommend getting a stretchy wrap, ring sling or ergonomic baby carrier, you can use it at home, it's much handier than a buggy out and about and leaves you hands free while keeping baby safe and comfortable. A lot of "must haves", even listed on this thread, ended up being a waste of money for me. Worth remembering that you can get things after the baby is born if needed.

What did you get? For the first few months babies just want to be held, strapped on is easier on the arms and back

We're great. The boy (now 5) is delighted with his baby sister... who is currently sleeping on her Daddy, in a carrier.

Children are the best thing ever, and also the hardest... but so worth it.

by the way, billy, people are going to be calling by constantly with presents - most of them useless little "cute" outfits that the nipper'll never wear

pre-empt this by sending out the message that you want practical stuff like nappies and vasogen cream and vests and shit like that

The standard baby shower present in Mexico seems to be a gross of nappies. My brothere in law tells me he didn't have to buy a singe one for the first 12 months. Sounds grand and practicial to me.
