Things No New Parent Should Be Without

I dont think we learned the hard way that we need a lot of stuff, but I learned that I under-registered for a few things that we use constantly, so for my friends who are expecting babies soon, and the fact that I love lists, here are things that I think no new parent should be without, ever. In no particular order.....

*Starbucks or Tully's
*Pack N Play
*Soothie Pacifiers (Cade LOVES them!)
*Cloth Diapers for burp cloths, you really CANNOT have too many
*Simethicone drops (generic Mylicon)
*Pampers Swaddlers diapers, Huggies are the devil
*Short and Long Sleeved Onesies
*Gap 0-3month socks, I'm quite certain there's a conspiracy here, but they are the ONLY ones that fit Cade
*Swaddleme blankets
*thermal or waffle knit blankets, great for swaddling

*Hand Sanitizer, Method has a nice new one

*Boppy
*Dr Brown's Bottles

* Diaper Genie

 

*Disposable Changing Pad Covers for the many accidents you'll have during a change

*A bouncer and/or a swing
*When leaving the hospital, in the drawers of the baby bassinet, grab as many tiny hats and receiving blankets as you can stuff in your bags.
