10 Essentials For Your New Baby
If you're a new mum, then perhaps you've got everything you need for your new arrival.
If somebody you know is pregnant, or has just given birth, and you want to get them something practical, then here are some ideas.
1.
The baby will need clothes.
Why not choose organic baby clothes which will be better for the baby's skin, and will wash well, and be durable? These will represent excellent value for money and you can e sure that they have been manufactured without causing too much damage to the environment.
2.
You might not be able to afford a pram for the baby, but if you're a grandparent, or other relative, then you might want to keep a pushchair at your house, so that if the baby stays with you, you can go out.
3.
A cot will be important, so you'll want to make sure that you have an appropriate one for your baby.
Perhaps you'll go fro a coloured one, or choose a more neutral natural wood finish.
You might want a modern design, or a more traditional design.
4.
A Moses basket will also be important for the first few weeks, until your baby is a bit bigger.
He or she will probably spend a lot of time asleep during the day, and will need to have somewhere comfortable and safe.
5.
You'll need lots of nappies, and you might be undecided whether to choose disposable nappies, or reusable nappies.
Whatever you decide, you'll need to make sure that you have enough, and a few spare for emergencies too! 6.
You might be surprised at the vast range of baby changing bags that are available.
You'll want something that will hold all you need to take with you, and yet is still comfortable enough to carry, especially if you walk, or use public transport.
7.
A mobile, and other items to keep your baby amused are also a good idea.
Perhaps you'll want traditional styles of mobiles and toys for your baby, or you'll choose something more modern and technical to entertain your baby.
8.
A baby monitor is a good way to keep an eye on your baby when you are in different rooms.
You won't need to go and check, and potentially disturb your baby every few minutes, and if he or she does wake, you'll soon know about it, and be able to respond accordingly.
9.
An activity mat might seem to be a bit grown up for a newborn, but it won't be long before your baby is able to sit up, and crawl around, and will want something to keep them busy.
With many different sorts to choose from, and lots of different textures and sound to explore, you're bound to be able to find one for your child.
10.
A baby bath will make washing your baby much easier, and safer.
By keeping them in a smaller environment, it is much more reassuring for both your child, and you.
You'll also be able to ensure that you child is sitting in a comfortable position while he or she is being washed.
