This is a great pregnancy site, and it has a good list of things you need for your baby. Congrats on your pregnancy.
Reply:well you're definately going to need a carseat. but it sounds like you're pretty much set, other things may pop into your head later on, but right now i'd say you're fine. If you're going to bottle feed then i would say you need some bottles.





take the take-home outfit for you and baby, pajamas for you (perferrably a gown, if you don't want to wear the hospital one), some pads (but the hospital may provide these for you)...hair essentials (hair tie, brush, shampoo and conditioner) toothbrush and toothpaste, shoes (comfortable ones) maybe a blanket for baby...but other than that, you really don't need a whole lot and be sure to take the carseat.
Reply:Everyone is giving great suggestions so far, might I add you should check out Target.com. You can make an online baby registry. This registry is the best. You can type in if you're having a boy or girl, some color ideas your interested in and baam, it comes up with a whole list of suggested items for you. You can shop here for all the little stuff and the best thing about Target.com is the shoppers leave plenty of reviews. I didn't know what breast pump to buy, but after mad research I went with the pump that had the best reviews. It works wonderfully. Everything I got from Target, that had great reviews works great!





I don't know if you had your shower yet, but this would be a great time to stock up on all these things. Make your invitations and be sure to tell them you are registered here.

They also give you 10% off of any item that you have to purchase yourself off your registry.


You can check out my registry, just type in the first initials DA and last name King in CA
Reply:Babies R Us does have a good check list. Have you thought of safety items, like a thermometer, nose sucker, nail clippers, etc... They sell kits with all of that in it. You also need receiving blankets, burp cloths and onsies. You will go through a lot of those. Mittens so he/she doesn't scratch his/her face.





As for the hospital. They will only put the baby in a long-sleeve t-shirt with built in mittens, so if you want the baby dressed in anything else, bring some extra clothes. Then of course whatever you want him/her to come home in, as well as an outfit for hospital pictures if you want them taken. As for yourself, toiletries, robe, slippers with rubber bottoms. You can bring your own gown, but you will bleed a lot after delivery, so you might not want to ruin your nice gowns. Some women prefer to have them to wear when guests come though. Also, bring clothing that you would wear when you were about 4 months pregnant because that's about how big you will be after delivery. Don't expect to bring pre-pregnancy clothes and fit into them. A camera is a must! Also, a list of contacts so Daddy can make calls to everyone to share the wonderful news. The hospital I delivered at actually showed me how to properly put my baby in the infant carrier. She recommended using extra receiving blankets rolled up to help properly fit a newborn in the carrier. Therefore, I would bring a couple extra just in case. Best wishes.
Reply:Buy diapers/wipes and those lil baby essential stuff. You can never get enough of those. Use a diaper bag to put the baby outfits and other stuff you need to bring to the hospital. That's what I did. other people bring their small luggage or one of those BIG GYM BAG kinda thing.
Reply:Everyone named most everything but I will tell you that you will probably want to buy your own pads and some comfy (nontight fitting) clothes to the hospital with you. Postpartum is the worst!

Reply:I see a lot of people gave you a list. Make sure you have money for baby pictures at the hospital. A lot of people forget baby pictures cost around $80-150.00 dollars.
Reply:you need a carseat. thats the most important necessity probably get some blankets too....
Reply:Diapers. # 1 .


An outfit that is worn in this weather and easy to put on for your new born.. you might like a light weight robe , those one size fits all leave a lot to be desired. And something for you to wear home. And even though you've had a baby, your waistline probably won't be the same size as it was before . Comfort.
Reply:You pretty much got everything the baby will need. When you go to the hospital you will need to bring:


Nightgown, panties, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, soap, shampoo, and something comfortable to wear home from the hospital. An oufit for the baby.
Reply:Other items you should have:


-Diapers


-Wipes


-Baby powder


-Rash cream


-Soaps


-lotions





If your going to breastfeed then you'll want to get a Boppy (breastfeeding pillow) and a pump so you can pump and store if you plan on going to work or if you ever need a sitter you'll have milk ready. %26amp; some Playtex bottles with the "drop-in" liners, they are the best!!








For the Hospital:


Diaper bag full of some diapers, wipes, powder, clothes, mittens (to keep baby from scratching themselves because they will scratch at their face a lot!), socks, the Boppy if you plan to breastfeed, nursing bra and breast pads(get the breast pads even if you aren't going to breastfeed because your boobs will leak! %26amp; Blankets %26amp; Binkies!





You dont need much for a baby honestly and anything else you will need the hospital probably has, so just relax, sounds like you got the major stuff already!! Your good to go! Good luck!
Reply:Here is something I did for both mine. Look for sales on diapers and start stocking up, whether you intend to use them full time or not have a big supply on hand. I would say at least 10-15 boxes of the small size. I didn't have to buy diapers for 2 months after my kids were borm. They can be stacked in a corner of their room all the way to the ceiling and will not take up much space. I had a huge supply bought up for both of mine and it saved a lot of extra expense while I wasn't working when they were infants.





Also I love to have special little toys, safe ones of course, like a special rattle for their first toy. I still have my kids first toys and they are 25/35 yrs old.





I wish you pure unadulterated joy with this baby!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:You can go to americanbaby.com and it will give you an idea on how you should pack for the hospital. Baby registry sites give you an idea on what you should buy.
Reply:go to babiesrus.com and click the purple link at the top "buying guides" that will help u a lot.
Reply:ummm... it's been a while.


One way to see what you might need would be to stroll through a baby department in a store.





You didn't say you had diapers, cloth or disposable. Also the bottles and the equipment to sterilize them and prep the formula. You also didn't mention blankets to wrap the baby in and for the crib, and the crib sheets.





When you go to the hospital, take a single outfit for the baby in the diaper bag. Have a hat, shirt, diaper(s), booties or socks, and a bottle of water. Have a light blanket to wrap the baby in.





I wish you a healthy, happy baby.
