Top 10 Best Baby Things to Buy Before Birth

Baby Clothes: Stock up on baby clothing essentials such as onesies, swaddle blankets, hats, and socks. Babies often require multiple outfit changes a day, so it’s beneficial to be prepared.

Crib and Crib Mattress: Providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment is essential. A crib with a firm mattress, both adhering to current safety standards, ensures your baby has a secure place to sleep.

Travel System (Infant Car Seat and Stroller Combo): A travel system, which includes an infant car seat that can be clicked into a stroller, is an excellent purchase. This combo is convenient, allowing for smooth transitions between car and stroller without disturbing a sleeping baby. Additionally, buying them together ensures compatibility and often offers better value than purchasing separately.

Diapers and Wipes: Both disposable or cloth diapers are a must-have. Paired with baby wipes, these essentials ensure your baby remains clean and comfortable.

Feeding Supplies: Depending on your choice of breastfeeding or formula feeding, you’ll require different supplies. These could include bottles, a breast pump (for breastfeeding), formula, and burp cloths. A nursing pillow can also provide extra comfort during feedings.

Baby Monitor: A baby monitor allows you to check on your baby from another room, providing peace of mind when you’re sleeping or occupied with other tasks while your baby is resting.

Baby Bathtub and Bath Supplies: A safe baby bathtub, gentle bath soap, and soft towels make bath time a smoother, safer process. It’s an important routine that can also be a great bonding experience.

Baby Thermometer: A reliable, easy-to-use baby thermometer is a must-have in your nursery. Babies can’t communicate when they’re feeling unwell, and fever can be a first sign of illness. With a baby thermometer, you can quickly and accurately check your baby’s temperature, providing essential information for healthcare decisions.

Baby-Safe Laundry Detergent: Babies have sensitive skin, so it’s crucial to use a gentle, baby-friendly laundry detergent. This will ensure that the laundry process doesn’t irritate your baby’s skin.

Soft, Comfortable Bedding:  Soft, comfortable, and warm bedding can help your baby sleep better and feel like its back in the womb. Swaddle blankets, fitted crib sheets, and a sleep sack can be part of your baby’s bedding essentials.

“I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.”
