Infant necessities
For you new mamas or 2nd time mamas-to-be, what items are you making sure you have on hand for your newborn? I have been working on getting our diaper bag restocked and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I feel like it was sooo long ago when G was a baby!

Re: Infant necessities
I have no idea! I feel more clueless this time than last time!
We have diapers and wipes obviously.. some onesies and sleepers.. outfits for the hospital and going home..
I'm trying to figure out what I need BFing wise.. not sure if I will have to start pumping/supplementing early on again or what.. I haven't gotten bottles out of the attic (I did buy some new nipples) and I need to get a new bottle brush since we've used the same one since Eve was born and I think they say to throw out after a month, LOL. I am hoping to take my pump to get cleaned up and stuff today.
I got her new binkys that are different than Eves.. Hopefully she likes them..
m/c 1/2/08 and 3/12/08
Eve Amelia- Born 2/24/09. 6lb 9.9oz
Natalie Ruth - Born 6/13/11 7lb 6.6oz
this is how I feel about Sophia. we had onesies, diapers, sleepers, gripe water, mylicon, lightweight blankets
It's crazy! I feel like I was more ready for Gavin than this one.
What's going on with the infant medications, too? I honestly haven't followed the recall info since Gavin wasn't using it. I need to look into that again, too.
Me four! I think registering makes it a lot easier, because you have a long list of things you need to buy. This time, I don't remember much of what I need. I might actually pick up one of those lists they give you when registering at BRU and go down the list and see what I have and what I need to replace.
That's a great idea!
You can access those lists through their website!
I went and took out E's clothes, and have tons of white onsies (I put them under almost everything on cooler days). Swaddle & recieving blankets, pacifiers, bottles/new nipples, diapers, wipes, burp cloths (I use cloth diapers, so much better!), sleepsacks, sleeper jammies...u should just check that list...haha easier than me spouting it all out!
I'm almost READY.....since these babies could come at any time! I hope they wait 'til August though!!!!
We walked around BRU today and I left with nothing. I need some receiving blankets and bibs and I think I'm set. I'm a lot less frantic now, I think, and realize that DH or I can always run out to get stuff I forgot.
I did stock up on clothes - I have SO MANY 3 month clothes that I have no idea what I was thinking. I bought nipples for his bottles, pacifers, diapers and wipes. His room is 95% finished. Washed all of the things that he will need that we had from Claire.
