in Pregnant after a Loss
So of course I have a list through Target and Diapers.com as to the major items that need to be bought before baby arrives but I was wondering what you ladies have thought of that will be needed that might not be on the lists? For example baby safe q-tips. What else can you ladies think of??

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

    The big things we used right away were boppy (I actually alternate b/w a boppy and My Brest Friend), swing, bouncy seat, and video monitor.

    The little things:

    tons and tons of burp cloths (flat fold cloth diapers work well and are cheap), diapers and wipes, aspirator and saline for LO's nose (DS was very snorty and the saline helps to loosen up the boogers), swaddlers (we cannot live without!), disposable nursing pads (I love the Lansinoh brand) and nipple cream if you plan to nurse (Lansinoh or Motherlove), and nursing tanks (easier than nursing bras, at least at first, and you can sleep in them, too). Oh, and we love the Sleep Sheep someone got us as a gift.

    We got a TON of receiving blankets and hooded towels/washcloths as gifts. Just an FYI in case you plan on putting any on your registry. You'll probably get a bunch.

    I know this is kind of dumb, but if you're nursing -- a good nursing pillow and an AWESOMELY HUGE WATER BOTTLE.

    I drank SO MUCH WATER after DD was born.  Holy monkeys.  Every time I turned around, I was asking someone for water because I was stuck nursing on the couch.


    Another thing that's unrelated to baby stuff?  Snacks.  Easy to grab quick snacks - from string cheese to crackers and stuff like that.  I didn't really eat MEALS, you know? But I was starving all.the.time.

    I also took power bars to the hospital.  I needed the calories. 

    Welcome to the world, Baby Grr!
