How to Prep for Bringing Home a New Baby |
Posted: January 3, 2022 |
Bringing home a new baby is an exciting time for new parents; that first smile and first giggle can’t be beat. But, let’s face it, bringing home a new baby as a new parent can be scary. New parents want to do right by their babies, and more so than experienced parents, new parents don’t want to make any mistakes. With this in mind, here is a list of infant supplies to have stocked up before bringing home a new baby. Diapers Perhaps the most important baby supply to stock up on is diapers. New parents often underestimate how many diapers they will need when bringing home a new baby. Babies eat and sleep, and as a result they produce a lot of waste. New parents will want to be prepared for this, and with the price of disposable diapers skyrocketing, new parents will want to keep their eyes on sales. Even better than normal disposable diapers are bamboo diapers that can be ordered online. These diapers are eco-friendly and do not contain the chemicals that are found in regular diapers. Formula Even if a mother plans to breastfeed, having formula in the house is always a good idea. Breast milk production is spotty and inconsistent, and there may be times when a new mom cannot produce enough milk, or the baby won’t want to latch on to drink. If this happens, a new mother will be thankful that they have a supply of formula to go to. Of course, some formulas are made with better ingredients than others, so it is important that new parents do their research on the formula that is right for their family. Monitoring Equipment A baby monitor is a must for new parents who choose not to co-sleep with their baby. Co-sleeping has been shown to have both pros and cons, and there are safety concerns involved with co-sleeping. As a result, parents may opt to have their baby sleep in a nursery. If this is the case, they will want to purchase a baby monitor to keep an eye on the baby. There are all sorts of baby monitors, some even with both a camera and a microphone. A baby monitor will give new parents peace of mind while the baby is asleep and will allow the parents to attend to the baby if they need anything.
