Essential Baby Gear That You Need

Babies give a full meaning for your family and you need to take proper care of these cute angels. Taking care of new borns and toddlers is very difficult. You can make this job easier with essential baby gear. If you are a first time parent, you would probably search for a proper guide that tells you what baby gear you need.

Several baby products are now found in the market as parents are now showing more interest in caring for their babies. However, not all products are essential. You have to find products that you need for your baby. Baby gear is expensive and buying unnecessary items is not needed. 

Baby clothes are essential baby gear that you need to have for your baby. Many parents love to buy clothes for their cute little kids. You might have already received many clothes for your baby during the baby shower party. It is better not to buy expensive baby clothes during initial months because your baby grows pretty much faster outgrowing all clothes you just bought.

You need to have about five to six sleepers and you have to purchase outfits that your baby can wear when you go out. You have to choose organic baby products so that your baby is safe.

Baby bottles are essential baby products that you need to buy. Even though you breast feed your baby, you need to have bottles. When your baby is a few months old, you need to feed water for which you definitely need those bottles. Baby diapers are indispensable baby gear that can’t be avoided. You have to stock up diapers because new borns need eight to ten diapers a day.

You have to choose diaper brands carefully, because your baby may be allergic to certain brands. 

Baby beds and baby cribs should not be missed when you are shopping for baby gear. You have to buy a crib with atleast three crib sheets. Now, you can find adjustable baby cribs that can be extended to accommodate your baby’s growth. Some cribs can be used for over three years. You need to find mattress pad and baby beds for the crib. You should ensure that you concentrate on safety factor while buying baby products. Sometimes, certain cribs may be expensive, but you have to go for it when you wish your baby to be safe. 

If you are a busy mom and you need to go out frequently for business or personal reasons, you must buy a baby pouch. This baby gear keeps you close to the baby without you having to hold the baby. You can move around and continue with your work with baby on your pouch. Your baby will also be comfortable as he can feel your warmth.

Stroller or carrier is also important using which you can move your baby easily. These strollers can be used even for preschool years as they can be adjusted. Baby car seats are other necessary baby products that help you travel safely with your baby.

    I can just imagine that kid when he’s older.
    “Hey babe, i’m indestuctable. I was ran over my a train and yeah, I’m still here..”

    Okay. Either that or he’ll be terrified of trains. Depends on the personality.

    ..Why’s everyone arguing? There’s no point, Can’t we just be happy for the Mom whether you believe in God or not? ^^’

    Wow that is one long list lol.

    Ok well for safety all you need to beginning with is baby monitors the rest are for when they start crawling wwhich wont be until they are 6-8 months so you don't need to purchase them just now unless you want to be super prepared.

    Nursing/Feeding:

    Breastpump – not essential unless you want to exprees easier just to put baby on the boob though. if you are going to get one I would recommend an electric one so much quicker and easier to use.

    Breast Pads – Stock up on these

    Breast Cream – Definitely need this

    Breastmilk Storage – again on essential if you are going to express.

    Containers or Bags – I got a bag that holds two bottles but my changing bag alreayd had one integrated into it so check to make sure yours doesn't before you waste any money.

    Breastfeeding Shawl – Upto you really if you want something to sort of cover yourself when feeding get one.

    Nursing Pillow – I can't stand mine it is so awkward and makes it hard to hold the baby I wanted recommend these unless you are formula feeding.

    Burping Cloths – get plenty of these are muslin squeares at least 10

    6-12 Cloth Diapers – not necessary if you are using disposable

    6 Lap Pads – not essential

    6-8 Bottles for Formula – I would recommend 2x 125ml and 6x 260ml

    Juice and Water:

    Bottle Warmer – I never use mine I just stick it hot water to warm it up less hassle.

    Bottle Sterilizer definite essential

    Bottle Drying Rack – can just stick them on the draining board this isn't essential.

    Bottle Brush – this will probably just come with your sterliser

    Dishwasher Caddy – don't need this when you still sterlising your bottles.

    Insulated Tote – either this or a bottle bag you don't need both.

    Feeder for Strained Foods – you wont need this until 4-6 months

    8-12 Bibs: Can never have too many

    Pacifiers: Thats personal prefernce whether you want to give your baby one.

    Baby Mittens: At least 4 pairs

    Rattles: Optional could get one or two normally don't bother with these until they are about 3 months anyway.

    Teethers: Don't need this right away again at a couple of months

    Books for Parents-To-Be: Don't need these at all you can learn from other people amd familyor YA! lol

    Baby Care

    Nail Clippers – essential or some people bite them off

    Brush and Comb – I ve not used mine yet my daughter hardly has any hair

    Digital Thermometer – Always handy to have when you have a young child

    Ear Thermometer – Only need one Thermometer.

    First Aid Kit – Not essential you'll probably have stuff ike this already anyway

    Humidifier/Vaporizer – Not necessary or essential

    Diaper Pail good to have to stor your diapers in for the day before you trhow them in the trash so you don't have to be in and out the house all day.

    Diaper Pail Refills – These are diaper sacks

    Bath

    Baby Bathtub – not essential can use sink or bath support or take baby in the bath but I find mine useful for when she is really tiny

    Baby Bath Sponge – Essential

    4 Hooded Bath Towels – Not essential could use a normal towel and swaddle her in it

    12 Washcloths – don't need that many

    Bath Toys – don't need these to start with and or optional not essential

    Toiletries

    All toiletries are essential except alcohol swab some people don't use shampoo to start with either as it can cause cradle cap. I just used water to start with for the first few weeks

    Diapers/Formula

    Need all this stuff apart from a wipe warmer not necessary.

    Baby Gear:

    Carseat and base if it is ISOFIX. Head support but most car seats come with this and carseat toy keeps them entertained on longer journeys and shaded to keep them protected from the sun on warmer days.

    Stroller:

    You can get 3 in 1 travel systems that have a carrycot, fit a carseat and seat unit for when they are older. Most will come with all the essentail like rain cover etc and you can get a toy if you want.

    Entertainments/ swings:

    I would recommend the fisher price cradle swing my daughter loves hers. A bouncer and play mat or gym is all you need for the first few months they sleep the majority of the time
    High Chairs:

    You will need a high chair when she is 6mnths +

    Nursery
    Cradles/Bassinets:

    Cradle, Bassinet or Portable Crib

    Cradle, Bassinet or Portable Crib Bedding Set

    2-3 Cradle, Bassinet or Portable Crib Sheets

    Bassinet Netting – you will only need this if you have it outside

    Nursery Furniture

    Crib
    Changing Table – I never used mine but handy to have to store things on really
    Dresser/Chest – optional
    Glider or Upholstered Rocker – handy to have for night feeds

    Mattresses:
    Crib Mattress
    Cradle/Bassinet Mattress
    3 Crib Mattress Pads
    Vinyl Mattress Cover – Need all this

    Bedding/Room

    Décor (separates)

    Out of this the essentials you'll need are:

    Crib Bedding Set (including bumper)
    4-6 Fitted Crib Sheets
    4-6 Blankets
    4-6 Receiving Blankets
    4-6 Waterproof Pads
    Crib

    You don't need a changing table. You can by a changing pad and put it on top of a short dresser. After they can sit up, the floor is the best place to change a squirmy baby.
