Baby Clothes
Of course you’re going to need baby clothes. You can’t just leave your baby in their diaper or wrapped in a blanket all of the time because this is not practical. You need to be investing in baby clothes even though they are going to get covered in so much milk and puke it’s unbelievable. We recommend getting clothes that are pretty easy to wash and won’t stain easily just to be on the safe side of things.
You don’t need to go overboard with this and purchase millions of tiny little clothes. The chances are that if you do this they’re not going to wear half of them so it ends up being a waste of money. Just buy a few outfits when they are tiny and alternate them as and when needed.
A Baby Bag
You are also going to need to get a bag for when you’re going out with the baby. There are a variety of different nappy bags available if you know where to look, some of which are absolutely stunning. The thing that you need to remember though is that it’s not about the look, it’s about how much they can hold. You need space for all of the essentials, and even some non essentials that you’re going to take with you anyway.
Something For Sleep
The final item that we’re going to mention is somewhere for the baby to sleep. Some people like to try out a moses basket, others have a next to me crib which attaches to your bed, and some people go straight for the cot from the start. It’s up to you what you do, just make sure that you are following safe sleeping guidelines in order to keep your child safe. Do your research into the different options and go for the one that is most appealing to you.
