  Humidifier, nose frida, thermometer (preferably the ear kind, I find the forehead one we have is really inconsistent), rectal thermometer (for the most accurate readings), Boogie wipes, infant Tylenol and baby nail clippers and/or file. You’re going to want to have these things on hand *before* baby gets sick because you’re going to need them on very short notice when you do need them.

  The best gift I got at my shower for DD was a baby first aid kit, it pretty much had everything @CapricaAndrea listed above. 
  
  This time around I got an electric snot sucker because even though the nose Frida is amazing, I gagged every single time we had to use it 🤣
  
  Baby proofing can wait a bit until they are mobile IMHO. We already have all our furniture secured to the walls so there isn't a chance of it tipping over but door locks etc can wait because they are so annoying to deal with I'd rather not use them until baby is mobile.

  My last house came pre baby proofed which was so nice! I bought it from a friend who had installed all the cabinet locks!

  Lol I have thought of everything @CapricaAndrea mentioned except for the baby Tylenol! I agree that’s a must have on hand item, I remember my ex husband having to find a store open late at night for some baby tylenol when DD was a baby and ohhhh my goodness that was quite a night! I’m definitely going to be sure to have some on hand this go around lol these threads are a lifesaver for sure 😂 even as a second time mama I seem to be forgetting things.

  Yes to all of the above! 
  The Nose Frida is the best! I would also recommend the "Little Remedies" baby nasal spray. I still use it on my bigger kids. It's great at breaking down the gunk in their noses. I use the spray, and then about an hour later use the Nose Frida. Those two together are super stars for helping with congestion. 
  Also, I'm a fan of "Colic Calm" for my babies. It's a little pricey, but I feel like it worked really well.
  The Windii is also great. Seems weird, but I swear it works SO well to help relieve gas.
