Everything You Need to Buy for Your New Born Baby:

Welcoming a new baby at home is exciting as well as an overwhelming experience. We all already thought a lot, right from bringing the baby at home to buying toys to play with. This new bundle of joy will soon make your home your happy place and surround you with innocence. But when it comes to bringing the baby home, the first question you will have is ” What the baby will need? ”
Here, you will learn everything that your baby will require in the first few weeks and months.
Some parents provide all the luxury and everything the market has. But, you can also help your baby with minimal but important things.

For making it easier, here’s the sorted list of essential things your newborn baby will need:

Clothing requirement:

Taking about the baby, clothes are the utmost important thing you will be needing. Generally, clothing depends on the season and as babies are more sensitive you need to be extra careful while choosing clothes. If it’s winter, then you will need more warm clothes and full sleeves. And most importantly, you cannot forget the baby caps. On the other hand, if it’s summer, you will need sleeveless and cotton clothes for your baby.
Another thing which you will have to be aware of is, to not have a big stock of clothes because your baby will grow faster than you can think. As size of the baby will change every month, you should buy clothes keeping this in consideration. At the same time, the clothes should be enough to change 2-3 times a day as babies don’t take time to make them wet.

Bathing requirement:

Maintaining proper health and cleanliness is the key to prevent your baby from any diseases. Many new parents buy bathtubs for their babies for more comfort and fun. If you are not willing to buy a bathtub, it’s completely fine. Gentle baby soaps and shampoos which are chemical-free are good for the skin of the baby. You will also be requiring a cotton washcloth to take the dirt off the skin and hairs. Sometimes hands may go harsh, so using a wet washcloth is a better option to clean your baby.
Let’s talk about the after-bath essentials. The list cannot be completed without the towels. Choose the soft hooded towel for the baby. To moisturize the skin you will be needing some baby lotion to avoid skin dryness.

Diaper requirement:

While making the list of things your newborn baby will need, you can’t miss the diapers. The diaper comes in various shapes and sizes. Choose the comfortable one for your little one. Likewise, diapers can be cotton, disposable, absorbent, and many more. For the babies, the cotton diaper will work well. If you want to go more natural and safer with your baby, then you can use a homemade cloth of soft cotton material. They can be used again after washing will provide zero irritation to the skin.
Along with this, don’t forget to buy diaper rash cream, wet wipes to clean the area, and few extra diaper packets.

Sleeping requirement:

* Baby blankets
* Sleeping sacks
* Few pairs of socks to protect your baby from cold
* Waterproof sheets to protect the bedsheets from unusual wets at night.

Grooming and other requirements:

Babies don’t need a lot of grooming essentials but here are few things which are mandatory:

* Nailcutter to chop the tiny nails.
* Cotton buds to clean the ear area.
* Thermometer
* Bottle (If you bottle-feed the baby.)
* Burp cloth
* Nipple

Conclusion:

The market has everything that your baby needs, but the most important thing is your love and attention. Relax and have fun with your little new family member.
