This is our third child, but we don’t really have anything from our previous two because we decided we were done having kids. Well, you know how it goes, after we got rid of everything, we started thinking about having another.
So now I’m 18 weeks pregnant with this baby and trying to figure out all of the absolute necessities. We got so much stuff we never used or rarely used for our other two, and not a lot of room in our apartment to store things that the baby won’t need in the first 6 months or so. Here’s my list. Please make suggestions or add things that I forgot.
Gear:
Crib
Car Seat-already have
Monitor
Stroller
Baby bath-already have
Crib bedding
Crib mattress-already have
Swing
Other:
bottles-not nursing, no judging please
binkies
receiving blankets
2-4 extra crib sheets
diapers
wipes
diaper cream
baby wash
baby powder
infant sun screen
Clothes:
Really not sure about clothes. I know babies grow fast, and I don’t want to have a lot of clothes in 0-3 month because I know he/she’ll be growing out of it in no time. So how does this sound?
0-3
10 sleepers
20 onesies
8-10 outfits
socks
hats
1 or 2 pair soft shoes
3-6
pretty much the same except maybe a few more outfits
I know I have plenty of time to figure this stuff out, but when I get something in my head, it drives me crazy until I get it sorted out.
Thanks in advance for all your answers and sorry it’s so long.
I don’t know why it would seem like I’m re-using my old car seat. I actually went and bought a new one. I’m not an idiot. I’m not going to use an almost 5 year old car seat.
