Tips for Expecting Hot Mamas Out There...

Buying for baby: What you really need
Written for BabyCentre UK

It's tempting to think that when your baby is born you need all sorts of complicated and expensive equipment. In reality, you need very little but of course, you may want to buy a few extras. Our checklist below should give you an idea of what you will need before your baby is born - anything else is a nice extra and can probably wait till after your baby is born.

• Nappies. As newborn babies will need their nappies changed 10-12 times a day, buy enough nappies to keep you going for at least the first few days or so. If you are planning to use reusable nappies, it's a good idea to have at least one packet of disposables handy too.

• Baby wipes or cotton wool, for nappy changing.

• A changing mat, or a changing unit.

• Babygros. Three or four babygros or all-in-one sleepsuits will be very handy. Small babies tend to live in these in their first few months and really don't need to wear anything else, apart from a vest underneath in winter months, or a cardigan over the top if it is very cold.

• Baby vests/body suits. At least three or four vests, also known as body suits, are essential, with envelope necks and poppers underneath. These can be worn under babygros, or when the weather is very hot, a baby vest may be all your baby needs to wear.

• One or two blankets to wrap your baby in.

• One or two cardigans to provide an extra layer.

• Moses basket or cot, unless your baby will be sleeping in your bed.

• A mattress which fits the Moses basket, cot or crib.

• A baby bath (or you can use a washing up bowl), or a newborn bath support.

• A couple of small towels and some mild baby bath.

• A rear-facing car seat, if your baby will be travelling by car.

• A pram, pushchair or buggy that is suitable for newborn babies (with a lie-flat position).

• Nursing bras and breast pads if you are breastfeeding.

• Bottles, teats, bottle brushes and some sterilising method, if you are bottle feeding.
