Wir machen Urlaub vom 21.12.2024 bis 01.01.2025 ❣ Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr!
If you are pregnant and it is your first child, this question has surely arisen: What is needed for a newborn? The arrival of a newborn is an exciting and joyful moment for any family, although its arrival at home entails endless preparations that can be overwhelming...
After the 36th week of pregnancy, labor can start at any time. It is key to be proactive and organize in advance all the things that the baby will need during the first weeks of life . In the following article we will try to make a list of all the things that a newborn needs and that cannot be missing when they arrive home. With this, you will also avoid having that enormous expense that comes with having a baby... Take note!
The range of childcare products for newborns is almost endless, but... do you know which ones are really essential? Before you start shopping " crazily ", take note of this guide with the essential items you will need to welcome your baby .
Let's be clear, what newborn babies do most when they arrive into the world is " pee " and " poop "... and you can't see how much! Diapers are a basic element and will be your main ally in the baby's daily life. Consider having a variety of sizes since it will take little time for the baby to grow, and the newborn ones will start to outgrow them very soon.
Like diapers, wipes will be essential to keep the baby clean when you change him or when you wash him. It is important that the wipes are soft, since the baby's skin is very sensitive.
Depending on the month your baby is born, you will need a type of clothing. In winter, what you will wear most are bodysuits, pajamas, rompers, hats and socks . In summer you will need much less clothing that is thin and breathable.
Don't forget a sleeping bag for the crib and another for the stroller if the baby is born in cold weather.
Alondra's Council
Limit buying what you will need in the first weeks, without buying too much. Newborns grow so quickly that sometimes there is hardly any chance for them to wear their size 0 clothes.
For daily bathing of the baby, it is advisable to have a special accessory for this. There are many models on the market. From plastic buckets to place inside the shower, folding bathtubs with changing table to bathtub furniture with changing table , drawers and wheels , perfect for having everything for baby's grooming in the same piece of furniture and at hand .
The baby's first bath is one of the most tender and beautiful moments when a new member comes to the family. Perhaps it is also one of the most anticipated as well as feared. Discover " How to prepare your baby's first bath ."
If you do not opt for a bathtub furniture with an integrated changing table, we recommend choosing a comfortable baby changing table with shelves to which you can add a foam changing table or a textile changing table on top.
Gel, shampoo, soap without detergent, natural sponge, comb, moisturizing oil or cream, diaper changing balm, cologne... are some of the products you will need to clean your baby.
Keep in mind to buy special products to prevent and treat irritations on the baby's skin , avoid itching and prevent dermatitis from appearing. The pediatrician or pharmacist can advise you on what is best for your newborn's skin.
Over time, you will expand your medicine cabinet to have a more complete variety of medical supplies. However, during the first months, it is essential to have some basic items such as: sterile gauze to clean and cover small wounds, saline solution to heal, round-tip scissors to safely cut the baby's nails, and a thermometer to monitor Their temperature.
A breast pump will help you extract milk and store it for later use. This way dad can also feed him at night and alternate feeding. Or, if the baby is with another family member, they can give the baby the bottle directly.
Whether you are going to breastfeed or formula feed, make sure you have a bottle sterilizer to keep them clean and avoid any viruses or dirt . To eliminate bacteria, it is also useful to put the bottle in boiling water, making a complete disinfection.
This accessory often goes unnoticed, but at Alondra we believe that it is essential . A nursing rocking chair is specially designed to make this special moment even more comfortable and relaxing for both mother and baby.
Learn more about the " Characteristics that a good nursing chair should have ."
They have an ergonomic design that helps maintain proper posture during breastfeeding, and the rocking motion can help calm baby and make feeding easier.
Another thing your newborn baby is going to do is sleep, so he or she will need his or her little corner to rest for many hours. Choosing a good crib or mini-crib is very necessary .
As you may have noticed, there are a lot of types of baby cribs and mini-cribs with different designs, sizes, functions... Decide the best option yourself based on your tastes, needs or the space you have available in the bedroom.
Taking the time to find the best crib for your baby ensures that their well-being (and yours) is largely compensated by the decision you make. We tell you more in our articles: " Keys to choosing the best crib for your baby ."
For example, co-sleeping cribs are a great option to consider so that the baby sleeps next to the parents' bed during the first months in a completely safe way and in its own space, creating a strong bond between the baby and the parents. .
Many of these models are currently evolutionary, so they adapt to the growth of the baby.
In addition to the crib, you should also prepare its accessories. Among the essential crib linens you should have fitted sheets, crib protectors or bumpers, duvets or duvets, children's sheets ... We recommend that you have more than two spares of each piece, since you can see "accidents" during the night.
Along with the crib/mini-crib, you should choose the best mattress for your baby . There are many models on the market, with endless different features. From anti-suffocation mattresses , anti-mite mattresses , memory foam mattresses or anti-plagiocephaly mattresses .
Obviously, you must choose the one that best suits your baby's health, according to the pediatrician's instructions.
To transport the baby safely in the car, these seats must be approved and have the appropriate dimensions for your baby.
There are various types of anchorage and a wide variety of these chairs. Using a seat is the safest way to transport your baby in the car, and it should never be carried in your arms.
To ensure greater safety, orient the chair in the opposite direction of travel.
To be able to go for a walk comfortably with your baby, you are going to need a stroller. Keep in mind that many baby strollers have an adapter for co-sleeping chairs.
If the baby stroller does not have a bag, you must buy one to be able to carry everything you need when you go out for a walk with your baby (portable changing table, diapers, bottles, pacifier, wipes, a spare change of clothes... ).
The baby carrier is another option for carrying the baby, either in an ergonomic backpack or in a cloth sling. By keeping your baby in direct contact with you, he or she feels calmer and more secure. This method is not only quick and easy to use, but it also leaves your hands free, allowing you to perform other tasks while keeping baby close. In addition, it can be a practical solution for moving through small spaces or when you need to move quickly.
It may not be a really necessary accessory but, from experience, we know that a baby hammock can help calm the baby with its gentle swing, while mom or dad is doing household chores.
You can use this accessory to keep an eye on the baby while he sleeps in another room.
Many moms and dads are not fans of the pacifier. This accessory will really depend on the baby's needs (and yours).
A crib mobile would be ideal, since from the crib or mini-crib itself, your baby will be able to develop his or her motor and visual skills. In addition, thanks to its gentle movement, it will help calm him down.
Another great option would be a baby gym , where using beautiful and colorful objects improves their instincts and also helps development.
As a complement to the nursing chair, you can purchase a nursing pillow, which will allow you to support your baby while you feed him.
Did you find this checklist of things a newborn baby needs useful? Organization and advance planning are key to fully enjoying this new stage without stress and overwhelm.
