so my bf bitches all the time because our spare bedroom is nothing and i mean nothing but baby clothes! o-24m and i have got rid of some but i have like 8 totes full and they are nothing but old navy,gap,gymboree,tommy,polo and they are so expensive i want to keep everything in case i have another girl i spent so much money on everything especially being a single mom at 17. ok so thats that but my aunt just gave me 3 totes of her baby boy clothes on top of my stuff. i also kept all her socks shoes bibs blankets birp rags u name it i got it!!!! oh one more thing is it wrong of me to not want to sell my precious moments cribset that is complete and i mean complete with everything even if i'm just going to get a different one. i just can't seem to let go it cost way too much?? help
Do u think i'm stupid for saving all my daughters baby stuff??
I had my son in 2005 and hoped for another child. I have saved everything except the items that were beyond saving. I too didn't want to pay for things twice. I still have almost a whole closet rod of clothes with tags on them that my son never got a chance to wear. I've given quite a few of those items away as baby gifts which saved me a ton of money too!! And even if I have a girl she'll be fine wearing some of these items like sleepers, shorts and t-shirts.
Now that I'm pregnant again, I am so glad that I have all this stuff - crib, exersaucer, packnplay, clothes from newborn on up. I do hope to get a changing table this time though --
My suggestion to you is if you want to keep all these things, that you consider putting them into space bags. Not only will this compact them but they will keep fresher and not get any moisture or bugs to them. You will increase your storage capacity in your storage bins.
Reply:The way I have it figured out is you're d*mned if you do and d*mned if you don't. If you do keep everything, you know - just in case - than you won't get pregnant because you kept everything and are prepared. If you get rid of everything, you'll be pregnant in a week. I know from experience. After my last son turned one we sold ALL of our baby stuff in a yard sale. Two months later I was pregnant. And after three boys I just took it for granted that this one would be a boy too so before I got the first ultrasound even scheduled, I bought a few boy things. And naturally, this time it was girl. Life loves to throw you curve balls. Your best bet is to get rid of everything you can stand to part with b/c, let's face it, if you keep all the girl stuff and get rid of the boy stuff your next baby will naturally be a boy, and if you get rid of the girl stuff and keep the boy stuff the next baby will be a girl. Sell it on ebay and take the money you get from selling that and set it aside in a savings account to either spend on your daughter later or save money for your next baby so you can afford to go out and buy more clothing.
Reply:Perhaps you can sell it online or via a yard sale? That way, the money you get can be used to buy more items for your child.
If you're really emotionally attached to them, how about taking pics of them for a scrapbook before selling them?
I'm afraid that if you don't learn to let go of some of these items, you'll have no room for the new ones. Instead of 11 totes, you may end up with 110.
CafeMom has a group where moms sell their gently used clothing and other items. You should check it out -- www.cafemom.com.
Good luck to you...
Reply:You should go through it and keep the irreplaceable items. Socks, bibs, onesies and jumpers can be replaced. Give them away. I was thankful kindof broke and five years later when I remembered I had saved some baby clothes.
Reply:No absolutely not, I don't think your stupid for keeping your babies stuff. I have a fifteen month old son I have kept every outfit he has ever had, except maybe a few things that I gave to my cousin who will be giving birth in August. It's better to not have to buy everything over, because a lot of the clothes I got were bought for my baby shower, and you typically don't have one of those with the second baby. So keep what you can.
Reply:i'm off subject here but i'm into relationship consultation in the military... If your boyfriend and you don't agree on having another child, work that out first... You're keeping it because you are preparing, if he is blowing you off, you might look back on your next baby and kick yourself in the butt asking youself why you put a guys opinion over yours about your life and your unborn baby. First it's clothes, and than.... it get's worse.... stand up for yourself... and if you can make an agreement of some things, like go through and see what you DON'T need and what you can rebuy, donate it to a needy family. (there's plenty of new moms in the military who's husbands are in iraq that have nothing... not food, baby clothes.. anything)
Reply:NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Just keep in separated in categories..... like stuff you absolutely want to keep so you can show her someday, and then stuff that you want to keep but it is not that important to you, and stuff that you will sell soon or even "someday", and if you have friends with babies, you can make small steps by giving them little things like a bag of socks, or just an outfit at a time. Slowly, you will narrown it down, but it is important to set aside the things that you know you DO NOT want to get a rid of because you want to show her when she grows up, or you'll end up accidentally getting rid of it. I know how it feels to want to keep everything, and for the most part it is possible, but if you don't have a lot of storage it is hard. I still have almost everything I ever received in my childhood, including boxes of school work separated by grade. My parents house has lots of storage.... an attic, a shed, and a basement.... I have been out of their house for 4 years and all their storage is still full of my stuff. At my house, my garage is FULL and I do mean FULL (no walking room) of my daughter's stuff.
Reply:Sell it on ebay! Or Craigslist. Tell your bf that you are donating it. And save the $ just for you and your little girl. Now that you are a mommy, your little private nest egg for emrgencies is WAY more important than all the memories of expensive clothes.
It will bring you peace of mind. Especially being a young unmarried mom. You never know what life will throw at you!
Good Luck, I know it will be hard...
Reply:I don't think you're stupid. But maybe a bit attatched? That really is too much to keep. If money is your issue, donate them to a cause and get a receipt for a tax write off. The big stuff you can sell on Craigslist.
Save your favorite stuff, but it shouldn't be bigger than a storage tub.
Reply:Shoot, I'm not getting rid of my son's stuff until I am DONE with childbearing! Seems wasteful to me to get rid of it all and have to buy it all again when the enxt one comes along. If it's taking up too much space, try putting it in your garage, basement, attic, closet, or a rented storage unit.
Reply:You will get rid of it when you are ready. You may want to start going through it and picking your favorite little outfits to keep instead of everything.
Reply:i would say that you need get ride of some of them if you sell them on e-bay you could get some money i am not saying that you should sell everything keep your favorites and it should not be to many. If you have another baby you will probably want to go and buy new things for it not just all old but you will enjoy your favorites being worn again. Also i wouldn't call you stupid for keeping it all.
Reply:no . I would not give anything away because ou might get pregnant again and need all that stuff.
I am saying this because I had a baby last year in October and I am now 5 1/2 pregnant again, so don't sell or give any thing away especially that crib

Do baby clothes sell well on ebay?
My aunt asked my cousin if they wanted to buy some baby clothes off of her, and they declined because their daughter would be too tiny to wear them. I am thinking about buying them and putting them on ebay in lots of 3-5 outfits.
She is asking $25 per box full (boxes are pampers diaper boxes), the clothing is girls 3-6 months. Most have only been worn once, some still have tags. I believe there are receiving blankets, shoes, and hats as well. Everything is in good shape, and most of the clothing came from good stores (no dollar store items or anything, but possibly some walmart/target items).
Am I going to be able to make a profit off of these items, or should I just pass it up?
Do baby clothes sell well on ebay?

Reply:If you do profit let us know! I was thinking the same thing. I have all of my daughters clothes from newborn. She's 4 1/2 now. I'm pregnant but if it's a boy all of her clothes must go! Good Luck!
Reply:yes definatly
i do it alot.
but i sell in larger lots like starting out in 10
then i will sell a lot of 20
it seems to generate more money if you do it in larger lots.. i think people think they are getting more so they bid higher which in reality it probably would even out but if i add it up i end up getting about 10 dollars more with one big lot then with per say 5 smaller lots ect
its sort of hard to explain but just make sure you start your bid at a reasonable price for the buyers but also as a reasonable price for what you are selling.. and i will say brand names like polo tommy hilfiger ralph lauren ect do go quick and you get much higher bids then what you would expect
hope to have helped.
Reply:Well I know that I buy alot of baby items on ebay because I just had a baby on Dec.31,2007.And I know I get really good deals from doing that.So the answer is yes ...Maybe I would be the person buying from you ...you never know..Good Luck.
Reply:yes, i believe some parents rather shop online than having the fuss to bring along their kids to the mall. it's hasslefree. but remember to provide acurate measurements so the parents will at least buy with a peace of mind.

Another baby needs question for my shopping trip!?
Hi again. I'm going shopping in the USA (South Florida) for my first baby (a boy) in a couple of weeks and am working on a budget. I've had good responses to all my questions thus far but here's another one for you experienced parents out there:
How many of the following items should I buy?
* Bibs
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months)
* Burp cloths
* Changing pads
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks)
* Cotton hats
* Lap pads
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
* Receiving blankets
* Scratch mittens
* Socks
* Soft shoes
* Towels
* Wash rags
Also, how many diapers (cloth or disposable) and how many wipes will he go through in a day?
Another baby needs question for my shopping trip!?
Buy tons of cloth diapers--they go through a lot of them! I used them mostly for burp rags because I work outside the home and it would not be fair to ask the sitter to change cloth diapers. Also, I would say to start off with 2-3 bottles of 4 oz and 8 oz sizes. Bibs aren't really that important until they start to eat baby food (about 4 months) or start teething. After a while you won't even use them except for in public! Lap pads don't generally get used after the first week of them being home (you're so tired you won't care) and I would just buy 0-3 and 3-6 month onsies right now and buy as many as you can. You will go through at least 2 outfits a day (on a good day) if you have one that spits up a lot! Hats never stay on so I suggest 6 hats (2 3 packs) and the same with mittens. Also, buy tons of socks and a lingerie bag to wash them in so that they don't get lost! Shoes aren't really important until they are able to remove their socks (about 4-5 month) so I wouldn't buy them until then because you don't know what size he will be in. As for towels, wash cloths, and blankets--as many as possible! you will go through them like there is no tomorrow. Babies like to pee on their towels after bath when they are newborns! :) Newborn babies are supposed to have at least 8-10 wet diapers a day and 1-3 dirty diapers. The best disposable newborn diapers that I found are the Pampers Swaddlers--they are great. I hope I helped. Good luck and congrats!
Reply:You probably won't need bibs until your son is about six months old or so, if that's when you plan to stop breastfeeding, but having one or two around shouldn't hurt. I breastfed my second for a month, but then had to stop because of a medication I had to take. I bought three bottles that were packaged together and used those. She's in bigger bottles now, but I still only have three. That's really all you need.
Buy at least a pack of five burp cloths, although cloth diapers work just as good, if not better, and are less expensive most places. Changing pads are a lifesaver if you use them on your changing table, especially since breastfed babies have a tendency to have runny poops, and I learned that the hard way. But you really don't need them otherwise if you have one that came with your diaper bag. I would buy just one or two hats (keep in mind you'll get one or two in the hospital for free). Start out with just a package of three or four onesies and a package of three or four sleepers to start out with. I loaded up on 0-3 months clothes for my first daughter, and when she was born she was only able to wear them for two weeks! And then when my second daughter was born, I didn't get as many 0-3 months, and she ended up needing newborn sizes until she was about two months old! So don't overindulge on the clothes. Just get enough for now, and then see what he needs from there.
As far as other outfits, just buy two or so at a time, since they grow so fast. I still have lots of clothes with tags because I bought too many of a certain size and they grew right through that size too quickly to wear them!
You'll get a receiving blanket at the hospital (which also makes a good burp cloth), but if you live in FL, I wouldn't buy but two. You probably will only need it at night. We usually bundle mine up in one, and drape the other over the top of the carrier to keep the wind from getting to her.
I only used scratch mittens for about a week, and I bought a package of two for like three dollars, and they worked great. I didn't even use the other pair. Buy a couple towels and wash rags, but lots of them come in packages with the two together, and usually in bulk (like three or four washcloths and two towels, or something like that). You can't bathe them in the tub until their umbilical cord falls off anyway, so it's not essential right now.
At almost three months, my daughter goes through about five or six diapers a day, from 7 in the morning until about 2 in the morning. Wipes seem to last forever if you buy them in those big boxes, and just replace them in the container when you need new ones. Make sure to buy the kind for sensitive skin, since you don't know if he'll have any allergies or not, and it would be a waste if you got the wrong kind.
Congratulations! I'm sorry it was so long, but I wanted to answer your question thoroughly. Good luck to you!
Reply:First of all - congratulations! Second - wait untill baby shower then decide what to buy ( if you cannot wait - try to take " sneek-peek" at the gifts- be honest with person who organizes it that you are going shopping and you want to know what you are getting so you can get the needy but missing things). See what your friends and family can do with hand-me-downs. Quite often you will get enough to last first few months and all you really need to buy is a few things, so save your money for diapers - you will need a lot!
* Bibs - not untill you start introducing solids ( can wait another few months)
* Bottles - get few just in case ( you may use them to store excess milk or need them for feeding if your son refuses to breastfeed / you could not for any reason: sore and cracked nipples, too painfull)
* Burp cloths - use receiving blankets or hand towels; why waste money
* Changing pads - 2 reusable should be enough
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - newborns may need 10 or so changes during first few months so up to your discretion and speed of your washing machine.
* Cotton hats - 3/4 then upgrade for bigger
* Lap pads - use soft, cozy towels
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - 5/7
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - don't look at the tags - see how big is(will be) your boy and go by that. My daughter is 9 months and wears clothing between 3-6 months and 18 months! one church/ better outing outfit is fine - he will outgrow it in no time!, casual - 4 that you can mix and match
* Receiving blankets - 7 ( can be doubled up as burp cloth, lap pad, blankie on the "non-baby" surface)
* Scratch mittens - use baby socks, work the same
* Socks - about 5 - even if some get lost - they would be probably too small after 2-3 months
* Soft shoes - not really needed in summer, socks will do
* Towels - assorted 5 ( for beginnig try those hooded ones - work great!)
* Wash rags - 5
* Wipes - non-messy diapers may need 1, messy - use your immagination and experience! to save some money - use plain soft face cloth to clean after pee-pee diaper adn disposable ones for big messes.
Smart buys: nipple cream (Lansinoh), DIAPERS, DIAPERS, DIAPERS,
Good luck and enjoy motherhood!
Reply:wow lots of answers! ill save time and say dont forget baby bath tub!
Reply:you will need 5-6 diapers a day- AT LEAST!!!
DOn't bother buying bottles if you are going to nurse- at 6 mos you can train to a sippy cup.
10 bibs
10 burp cloths
2 changing pads
5 hats
skip cloth diapers- the detergents and wetness will cause diaper rash
5 lap pads
For the rest it depends on how pften you wnat to do laundry!
Reply:Plan on needing to change diapers 5-6 times a day (always safe to estimate even higher than that), so plan on lots of diapers. You'll also want to have at least 6 bibs, so you can keep using clean ones. As the baby gets older, you might want to invest in even more bibs when the baby starts trying solid foods. They get MESSY! It's good to have plenty of onesies. Carter's sells 5-packs of onesies, which you can get a Khol's for pretty inexpensive. They have plain white as well as multi-color packs. I would definately keep at least 15 of each size, because you'll be changing them regularly, and washing them often. Hats aren't going to get as messy, so you'll probably only need a couple, but remember that as the baby gets more aware, you may lose a couple, so have a spare or two. I'd say have 2 or 3 receiving blankets in case of a major spit-up or diaper leak. For your sanity, I'd have 10 bottles or so, so you don't have to wash them each time you want to feed the baby. You can wash them all at once when the baby is napping. Again, socks are something that aren't going to get messy as easily, so you don't need a ton, but maybe a few pairs. Keep plenty of wipes on hand. You can go to places like Costco or BJs and buy in bulk, which helps keep the cost down. In the beginning, you may want a couple of nicer outfits, like for church and such, but really, the baby will be more comfortable in onesies or sleep %26amp; plays. You want to keep plenty of the comfy stuff around as you'll want to plan on changing outfits at least once a day between spit-up and diaper leaks. Good luck with the new baby, and congrats!
Reply:* Bibs
10 little ones, my baby leaked milk out of her mouth while breastfeeding. The litte terry cloth ones are best.
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months)
a six pack of the larger bottles, and get the NB nipples separate.
* Burp cloths
All burp clothes are is pretty cloth diapers. So you can buy a package of the old fashion pre-folds
* Changing pads- 2
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks)
About 8-10 diapers a day, so it depends on how often you plan on doing wash.
* Cotton hats
3 they don't wear or fit in these long
* Lap pads
We never used these
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
For 0-3 month about 6 since this is what he will be in all the time. My daughter was a March baby in the North and wore feety jammies all the time.
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
For 0-3 months 4, again they out grow these quickly. You might want to consider getting a couple of Newborn sized ones since the 0-3 month stuff looks huge on a Newborn
* Receiving blankets
I had 7 and still ran out of clean ones sometimes
* Scratch mittens
Buy the onesies with the fold over sleeves. The mittens don't stay on. And get a pair of baby nail clippers.
* Socks
10 pairs, and remove them before changing a poopy diaper. My daughter would always get poo on them. Buy a mesh zippered lingerie bag to wash them in, because they are so small that they can get sucked into your washer's pump and break it.
* Soft shoes
We just used booties and cute sock. Soft shoes are really necessary. So as many as you want.
* Towels
2-3 hooded towels
* Wash rags
A six pack or gerber wash clothes
We went through about 8-10 diapers a day the first few weeks, probably 6-8 a day for the first year. And about 2 tubs of wipes.
Other things, a good electric breast pump. And a can of soy formula just in case.
Good Luck and enjoy you little one.
Reply:First get pampers and wipes that's number 1 get the off brand wipes like the target kind its the same thing like the name brand ones trust me. Also whats good are in footsie's like the whole outfit with the zipper and dont 4-get the one pieces the ones that button in the middle of their legs. Also at target they have the value pack of socks its like 8 per pack for $5.99. Get stuff 3-6 months trust me. HAPPY SHOPPING its really fun.
Reply:Every baby is different but I will let you know how mine is. It depends a lot on how busy you are and how often you plan on doing things (like laundry or washing the baby, etc)
*Bibs- I didn’t use any since she’s breastfed she was good about little spit up so all I did was put a shirt on that was a little bit bigger than the size she was in, this kept the cost down plus I have a shirt I can use when she’s bigger.
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months) - I would buy around 9 (at least that’s what I have).
* Burp cloths – I actually use the cloth diapers
* Changing pads- I have only one, and two covers (one for use, one in the wash)
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - You tend to change diapers more with cloth, depends on how good you are with doing laundry and how big of a wetter he is. I would say buy 3-4 packages (they usually come in packages of 6)
•Cotton hats - When are you due? I would say about 5, but some outfits will come with hats.
* Lap pads - use the cloth diapers
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - this is all personal preference plus how much of a mess he makes, I would say 10 should be good.
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months -- same as above
* Receiving blankets - I love my receiving blankets, but I use a lot of them for cover ups when I am breastfeeding. I would say 5-10, you can also use them for burp cloths or lap pads as well. Plus if your baby is colic or just likes to be swaddled they are wonderful for that.
* Scratch mittens – I had a pair but they didn’t work out well. One of my friends just put socks over her baby’s hands and that worked well for her.
* Socks --- my baby socks are always gobbled up by the gremlins in the wash, so I would say a couple dozen (although my baby had big feet, so stay away from small ones we never fit into 0-3 month old and she was only 7 lbs at birth)
* Soft shoes – not needed and if you want some, they sometimes come with outfits, although I have one pair of white ones.
* Towels --- I actually only have 3 and that seems to work out well for me, but I do laundry quite often
* Wash rags – a few more than towels depending on how much you do laundry
Also, how many diapers (cloth or disposable) and how many wipes will he go through in a day? Breastfed babies have less bowel movements, so you will go through less. Cloth you have to change more because they aren’t as absorbant. I would say 7-10 disposables and 15-20 cloth per day. Wipes, I’m still on my first really big box bought from a discount store. So it’s hard to say I never really noticed.
Best of luck! Happy Shopping!
Reply:Bibs - for when you start actually feeding the baby, you'll be AMAZED how many you go through ... so honestly ... you can't have too many. I had 35 bibs given to me during my pregnancy and i thought it was ridiculous ... but now that I'm feeding baby foods ... I'm grateful I had them all!!!
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months) - although you plan to breastfeed, remember it's YOUR plan. Sometimes baby won't take to it, sometimes it's just too hard, or sometimes neither you or the baby will have a choice (as was in my case because my daughter was born too small and NEEDED to eat ASAP and couldn't wait to learn to latch) and you'll HAVE to supplement with a bottle. I say 6 bottles would be good. Also, you might want to consider buying opaque bottles or glass. Regular plastic bottles release a chemical called bisphenol-A into the formula when heated in a bottle warmer or washed with hot water that may cause retardation.
* Burp cloths ... again, you can't have too many. If you plan on washing laundry every week, I'd say instead of burp cloths, buy TONS of receiving blankets. Some to wrap baby boy in, and some to place under his neck for spit ups ... there's more area on receiving blankets and you can use the clean part for the next feeding. 20 + receiving blankets.
* Changing pads - I have only one and it's sufficient for outings to the mall, supermarket, other peoples' homes ... etc
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - can't help you here
* Cotton hats - hats also go by size, and depending on when you're due ... you may need more summer like hats for baby boy ... 10 would be good ... cotton/summer hats ... for each size ... and buy some that match outfits
* Lap pads - never had one ... don't think it's necessary
* Onesies -
0-3 months - you can never have too many and you go through them like it's going out of style ... either from spitups or from diaper leakage
3-6 months - at this point you'll be a little more experienced ... 12
6-9 months - same - 12
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months ---- be very careful with this ... because I had way too many outfits and never even got a chance to put them on my daughter before she was already too big for them. I'd say 7 casual outfits, maybe 4 church like outfits, and 3 or so outfits for other outings. For each size range ... again, careful ... you may end up with outfits that will never get worn.
* Receiving blankets - can't have too many
* Scratch mittens - some babies don't scratch, but if yours does ... buy tons because you'll want to change them after he's been sticking them in his mouth and gets them soaked
* Socks - TONS and these also go by size
* Soft shoes - this is really optional and I would suggest only getting one or two (you might want more to match outfits)
* Towels - 2
* Wash rags - four ... don't just use it once and then put it in with the laundry ... so long as you're washing laundry once a week ... buy 4
Reply:Bibs- You can never have enough!
Bottles- I was totally stressed out about having enough bottles and then it struck me "Duh! I am going to breastfeed!" Anyway, I am with my daughter pretty much all the time so I only need bottles for when I go out for a few hours. 4 would be enough. If you are going back to work, I'd say 10 or more.
Burp cloths- All of your clothes with become burp cloths. I hardly use the ones I have, actually, because they become a hassle.
Changing pads- I have one pad in the nursery, one in her diaper bag, and one spare.
Cloth diapers- If he's only wearing these at home for the first few weeks, then they can double as burp cloths after that. My daughter went through 12 diapers a day in the first month. I am not even exaggerating. She had a bowel movement at every feeding.
Cotton hats- Most kids I know hate having a hat on their heads. We used 1 or 2 on cold days.
Onesies- Just like bibs: You can never have enough. At least 7 to get you through a week.
Outfits- Bet on your baby wearing at least 2 outfits a day and a sleeper to bed. Depending on how frequently you want to do laundry, I would suggest at least 15 day outfits total.
Receiving blankets- These, too, can double as burp cloths. If your baby likes to be swaddled you probably want at least 5. If not, then they grow out of their usefulness very quickly.
Scratch mittens- I don't know a single baby that ever kept a pair of scratch mittens on for more than a minute.
Socks- Like the outfits, at least 15 pair in each size. And get the kind that have a cuff. They are more likely to stay on little feet that way.
Soft shoes- Buy sizes 0,1, and 2. At least one pair each size because they won't really get worn out, but you may want more to match different outfits.
Towels- 5 or more
Wash rags- 5 or more
Like I said, my daughter went through 12 diapers a day in the first month. Now she is down to 4 or 5 every day. Breastfed babies have a much cleaner bowel movement than their formula fed counterparts, so you probably won't use more than 3 wipes at each change. If it's just urine, 1 wipe is fine.
Good luck with your little bundle of joy!
Reply:There are several things on here you do not need right away - like bibs.
Bottles, I wouldn't use them at all (esp the first 6 weeks) if you're breastfeeding. Buy 2 and put them away until you need them. Using a bottle while baby is learning to breastfeed causes nipple confusion sometimes and he could refuse to nurse. Bottles are easier for babies and breastfeeding takes more effort...
Burp cloths - 6-10 (I used regular cloth diapers - they work great!)
Changing Pads - 2 or 3
Cloth Diapers (Check into a diaper service in your area - I've used one and I've washed my own, expensewise, it's about the same) Otherwise - buy enough to get through 2-3 days (24-30) plus 6-10 diaper covers.
2 cotton hats
Onesies - you need 6-10 in 0-3 (he will outgrow these the fastest), about 10 in 3-6 and 10 in 6-9
Figure 2-3 outfits per day plus pajamas. How often are you going to do laundry? I would have no less than 3 sets of pjs (footie/sleeper kind). Buy only up to size 6 mos now. You can get more later as he gets bigger! Newborn to 3 mos is the shortest phase!
Receiving Blankets - at least 5 (and go for natural fabrics and bigger sizes - little ones won't last long)
Socks - at least 10 pair
Mittens - 1-2 pair
Shoes - 1-3 pair
Towels with hoods - 2-3
Wash Clothes - 5 (you will use wipes for everything minor!)
Diapers for breastfed babies can be up to 15 a day. Mine went through about 10-12 I would say. Wipes - usually 1-3 per changing. If he's wet, 1 is fine, if more - it just depends!
I hope I could help! Best Wishes!
Reply:* Bibs- You never get enough bibs..
* Bottles- I had 14....
* Burp cloths-Really not necessary, but 7 days is good
* Changing pads-Not many
* Cloth diapers-Lots....
* Cotton hats.. Summer is coming, so not many
* Lap pads..Not necessary
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months-These are lifesavers..So as many as you want!
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months..I wouldnt invest so much in "outfits", but maybe one or two in each category...
* Receiving blankets..Never enough
* Scratch mittens..Not many, you can recycle those and keep nails trim...
* Socks..Lots, they always get lost in the wash
* Soft shoes..Not many as babies dont walk
* Towels..Never enough
* Wash rags..Never enough
Good luck!!
I would say stock up on onesies, diapers and bibs... Everything else is secondary!
Reply:Congratulations on your new baby! You will need at least 6 to 10 diapers a day until you can figure out your baby' schedule. Even though your breast feeding I would still get about 6 bottles to start with. You never know. get about 12 bibs, 12 burp cloths, 6 changing pads 3 or 4 hats lap pads you don't really need you will need about 10 onies. Outfits are going to very depending on where you go and do. Receiving blankets I would get about 6. Scratch mittens you won't need if you keep the fingernails trimmed. Socks I would get one pair for every outfit you buy. You don't need the soft shoes unless you want to but they are not necessary. Towels you will need one for each bath But get about 6 extra wash rags. Have fun with the new baby.
Reply:breastfed babies poo and pee a lot more often than bottle fed babies, so I'd get a LOT of diapers. I wouldn't waste my money on changing pads, most diaper bags come with a plastic one that is good for changing them in public places. Back when I had my son there were no such things as those baby changing tables in every bathroom, so I'd have to lay him on the counter to change him, so that plastic pad came in handy. I also wouldn't get very many burp cloths, a few will do, as you can use anything to wipe baby's mouth, and accidents will happen on your clothes even if you have a burp cloth on. Cotton hats are very important, but since you live in South Florida it is probably already warm there. They are only important in the winter time, but you should probably keep a little hat on his head for a few weeks. Onesies are GREAT, I'd get two packages of the newborn size, since he'll be growing very fast, he'll grow out of those quickly. The 3-6 month size will last much longer, so get more of those. If you're having a baby shower you will usually get TONS of clothes, more than the baby can use. When I go to a baby shower I get clothes a little bigger, because everyone buys newborn clothes, and they grow out of those so fast, before they can wear them all, so I like for the mom to have clothes for when the baby gets a little bigger. If you're not having a shower, then get a few newborn outfits and if people ask what you need for the baby tell them bigger sizes. Scratch mittens, a couple pairs of those will do, as his hands will outgrow them quickly. If you keep baby's nails trimmed he shouldn't scratch too much. Socks are great, ones by Baby gap stay on the best, so get socks to match every outfit. Shoes, get him one dress pair and one tennis shoes, size 1's. I'd get the bigger bottles because by the time you stop breastfeeding, he'll be out of the smaller ones, but get one package of small ones just in case (I wanted so badly to breastfeed but my son wouldn't take to it at all) sometimes things happen. Good luck and have fun shopping for baby!
Reply:pacifers you will miss place these, baby swing(gotta have one of these) lots of diapers you will use 6-10 of these a day, sleepers, mlycon gas drops,childrens tylenol, baby bath tub, a heavy blanket for cold days, diaper bag.
Reply:I would honestly say that you'll need 6 diapers or more a day for a newborn.
Reply:Did you already have your shower? YOu will probably get alot of this at the shower...if you can, wait until after and "fill in" what you didn't get.
Babies can go thru 6-10 diapers a day. Just depends on them. Maybe a box of wipes every 2 weeks or less
sometimes they can do 2 or 3 outfits a day too...especially if they spit up alot or have accidents.
Oh - and Bibs - I think at a time it was 5 or 6 a day!!
Scratch mittens? Well - I used little baby socks. Cheaper and easier to grab them than top search for the mittens!
Reply:you will need at least 3/4 diapers a day.

How many of the following items should I buy?
* Bibs
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months)
* Burp cloths
* Changing pads
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks)
* Cotton hats
* Lap pads
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
* Receiving blankets
* Scratch mittens
* Socks
* Soft shoes
* Towels
* Wash rags
Also, how many diapers (cloth or disposable) and how many wipes will he go through in a day?
Another baby needs question for my shopping trip!?
Buy tons of cloth diapers--they go through a lot of them! I used them mostly for burp rags because I work outside the home and it would not be fair to ask the sitter to change cloth diapers. Also, I would say to start off with 2-3 bottles of 4 oz and 8 oz sizes. Bibs aren't really that important until they start to eat baby food (about 4 months) or start teething. After a while you won't even use them except for in public! Lap pads don't generally get used after the first week of them being home (you're so tired you won't care) and I would just buy 0-3 and 3-6 month onsies right now and buy as many as you can. You will go through at least 2 outfits a day (on a good day) if you have one that spits up a lot! Hats never stay on so I suggest 6 hats (2 3 packs) and the same with mittens. Also, buy tons of socks and a lingerie bag to wash them in so that they don't get lost! Shoes aren't really important until they are able to remove their socks (about 4-5 month) so I wouldn't buy them until then because you don't know what size he will be in. As for towels, wash cloths, and blankets--as many as possible! you will go through them like there is no tomorrow. Babies like to pee on their towels after bath when they are newborns! :) Newborn babies are supposed to have at least 8-10 wet diapers a day and 1-3 dirty diapers. The best disposable newborn diapers that I found are the Pampers Swaddlers--they are great. I hope I helped. Good luck and congrats!
Reply:You probably won't need bibs until your son is about six months old or so, if that's when you plan to stop breastfeeding, but having one or two around shouldn't hurt. I breastfed my second for a month, but then had to stop because of a medication I had to take. I bought three bottles that were packaged together and used those. She's in bigger bottles now, but I still only have three. That's really all you need.
Buy at least a pack of five burp cloths, although cloth diapers work just as good, if not better, and are less expensive most places. Changing pads are a lifesaver if you use them on your changing table, especially since breastfed babies have a tendency to have runny poops, and I learned that the hard way. But you really don't need them otherwise if you have one that came with your diaper bag. I would buy just one or two hats (keep in mind you'll get one or two in the hospital for free). Start out with just a package of three or four onesies and a package of three or four sleepers to start out with. I loaded up on 0-3 months clothes for my first daughter, and when she was born she was only able to wear them for two weeks! And then when my second daughter was born, I didn't get as many 0-3 months, and she ended up needing newborn sizes until she was about two months old! So don't overindulge on the clothes. Just get enough for now, and then see what he needs from there.
As far as other outfits, just buy two or so at a time, since they grow so fast. I still have lots of clothes with tags because I bought too many of a certain size and they grew right through that size too quickly to wear them!
You'll get a receiving blanket at the hospital (which also makes a good burp cloth), but if you live in FL, I wouldn't buy but two. You probably will only need it at night. We usually bundle mine up in one, and drape the other over the top of the carrier to keep the wind from getting to her.
I only used scratch mittens for about a week, and I bought a package of two for like three dollars, and they worked great. I didn't even use the other pair. Buy a couple towels and wash rags, but lots of them come in packages with the two together, and usually in bulk (like three or four washcloths and two towels, or something like that). You can't bathe them in the tub until their umbilical cord falls off anyway, so it's not essential right now.
At almost three months, my daughter goes through about five or six diapers a day, from 7 in the morning until about 2 in the morning. Wipes seem to last forever if you buy them in those big boxes, and just replace them in the container when you need new ones. Make sure to buy the kind for sensitive skin, since you don't know if he'll have any allergies or not, and it would be a waste if you got the wrong kind.
Congratulations! I'm sorry it was so long, but I wanted to answer your question thoroughly. Good luck to you!
Reply:First of all - congratulations! Second - wait untill baby shower then decide what to buy ( if you cannot wait - try to take " sneek-peek" at the gifts- be honest with person who organizes it that you are going shopping and you want to know what you are getting so you can get the needy but missing things). See what your friends and family can do with hand-me-downs. Quite often you will get enough to last first few months and all you really need to buy is a few things, so save your money for diapers - you will need a lot!
* Bibs - not untill you start introducing solids ( can wait another few months)
* Bottles - get few just in case ( you may use them to store excess milk or need them for feeding if your son refuses to breastfeed / you could not for any reason: sore and cracked nipples, too painfull)
* Burp cloths - use receiving blankets or hand towels; why waste money
* Changing pads - 2 reusable should be enough
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - newborns may need 10 or so changes during first few months so up to your discretion and speed of your washing machine.
* Cotton hats - 3/4 then upgrade for bigger
* Lap pads - use soft, cozy towels
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - 5/7
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - don't look at the tags - see how big is(will be) your boy and go by that. My daughter is 9 months and wears clothing between 3-6 months and 18 months! one church/ better outing outfit is fine - he will outgrow it in no time!, casual - 4 that you can mix and match
* Receiving blankets - 7 ( can be doubled up as burp cloth, lap pad, blankie on the "non-baby" surface)
* Scratch mittens - use baby socks, work the same
* Socks - about 5 - even if some get lost - they would be probably too small after 2-3 months
* Soft shoes - not really needed in summer, socks will do
* Towels - assorted 5 ( for beginnig try those hooded ones - work great!)
* Wash rags - 5
* Wipes - non-messy diapers may need 1, messy - use your immagination and experience! to save some money - use plain soft face cloth to clean after pee-pee diaper adn disposable ones for big messes.
Smart buys: nipple cream (Lansinoh), DIAPERS, DIAPERS, DIAPERS,
Good luck and enjoy motherhood!
Reply:wow lots of answers! ill save time and say dont forget baby bath tub!
Reply:you will need 5-6 diapers a day- AT LEAST!!!
DOn't bother buying bottles if you are going to nurse- at 6 mos you can train to a sippy cup.
10 bibs
10 burp cloths
2 changing pads
5 hats
skip cloth diapers- the detergents and wetness will cause diaper rash
5 lap pads
For the rest it depends on how pften you wnat to do laundry!
Reply:Plan on needing to change diapers 5-6 times a day (always safe to estimate even higher than that), so plan on lots of diapers. You'll also want to have at least 6 bibs, so you can keep using clean ones. As the baby gets older, you might want to invest in even more bibs when the baby starts trying solid foods. They get MESSY! It's good to have plenty of onesies. Carter's sells 5-packs of onesies, which you can get a Khol's for pretty inexpensive. They have plain white as well as multi-color packs. I would definately keep at least 15 of each size, because you'll be changing them regularly, and washing them often. Hats aren't going to get as messy, so you'll probably only need a couple, but remember that as the baby gets more aware, you may lose a couple, so have a spare or two. I'd say have 2 or 3 receiving blankets in case of a major spit-up or diaper leak. For your sanity, I'd have 10 bottles or so, so you don't have to wash them each time you want to feed the baby. You can wash them all at once when the baby is napping. Again, socks are something that aren't going to get messy as easily, so you don't need a ton, but maybe a few pairs. Keep plenty of wipes on hand. You can go to places like Costco or BJs and buy in bulk, which helps keep the cost down. In the beginning, you may want a couple of nicer outfits, like for church and such, but really, the baby will be more comfortable in onesies or sleep %26amp; plays. You want to keep plenty of the comfy stuff around as you'll want to plan on changing outfits at least once a day between spit-up and diaper leaks. Good luck with the new baby, and congrats!
Reply:* Bibs
10 little ones, my baby leaked milk out of her mouth while breastfeeding. The litte terry cloth ones are best.
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months)
a six pack of the larger bottles, and get the NB nipples separate.
* Burp cloths
All burp clothes are is pretty cloth diapers. So you can buy a package of the old fashion pre-folds
* Changing pads- 2
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks)
About 8-10 diapers a day, so it depends on how often you plan on doing wash.
* Cotton hats
3 they don't wear or fit in these long
* Lap pads
We never used these
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
For 0-3 month about 6 since this is what he will be in all the time. My daughter was a March baby in the North and wore feety jammies all the time.
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months
For 0-3 months 4, again they out grow these quickly. You might want to consider getting a couple of Newborn sized ones since the 0-3 month stuff looks huge on a Newborn
* Receiving blankets
I had 7 and still ran out of clean ones sometimes
* Scratch mittens
Buy the onesies with the fold over sleeves. The mittens don't stay on. And get a pair of baby nail clippers.
* Socks
10 pairs, and remove them before changing a poopy diaper. My daughter would always get poo on them. Buy a mesh zippered lingerie bag to wash them in, because they are so small that they can get sucked into your washer's pump and break it.
* Soft shoes
We just used booties and cute sock. Soft shoes are really necessary. So as many as you want.
* Towels
2-3 hooded towels
* Wash rags
A six pack or gerber wash clothes
We went through about 8-10 diapers a day the first few weeks, probably 6-8 a day for the first year. And about 2 tubs of wipes.
Other things, a good electric breast pump. And a can of soy formula just in case.
Good Luck and enjoy you little one.
Reply:First get pampers and wipes that's number 1 get the off brand wipes like the target kind its the same thing like the name brand ones trust me. Also whats good are in footsie's like the whole outfit with the zipper and dont 4-get the one pieces the ones that button in the middle of their legs. Also at target they have the value pack of socks its like 8 per pack for $5.99. Get stuff 3-6 months trust me. HAPPY SHOPPING its really fun.
Reply:Every baby is different but I will let you know how mine is. It depends a lot on how busy you are and how often you plan on doing things (like laundry or washing the baby, etc)
*Bibs- I didn’t use any since she’s breastfed she was good about little spit up so all I did was put a shirt on that was a little bit bigger than the size she was in, this kept the cost down plus I have a shirt I can use when she’s bigger.
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months) - I would buy around 9 (at least that’s what I have).
* Burp cloths – I actually use the cloth diapers
* Changing pads- I have only one, and two covers (one for use, one in the wash)
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - You tend to change diapers more with cloth, depends on how good you are with doing laundry and how big of a wetter he is. I would say buy 3-4 packages (they usually come in packages of 6)
•Cotton hats - When are you due? I would say about 5, but some outfits will come with hats.
* Lap pads - use the cloth diapers
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months - this is all personal preference plus how much of a mess he makes, I would say 10 should be good.
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months -- same as above
* Receiving blankets - I love my receiving blankets, but I use a lot of them for cover ups when I am breastfeeding. I would say 5-10, you can also use them for burp cloths or lap pads as well. Plus if your baby is colic or just likes to be swaddled they are wonderful for that.
* Scratch mittens – I had a pair but they didn’t work out well. One of my friends just put socks over her baby’s hands and that worked well for her.
* Socks --- my baby socks are always gobbled up by the gremlins in the wash, so I would say a couple dozen (although my baby had big feet, so stay away from small ones we never fit into 0-3 month old and she was only 7 lbs at birth)
* Soft shoes – not needed and if you want some, they sometimes come with outfits, although I have one pair of white ones.
* Towels --- I actually only have 3 and that seems to work out well for me, but I do laundry quite often
* Wash rags – a few more than towels depending on how much you do laundry
Also, how many diapers (cloth or disposable) and how many wipes will he go through in a day? Breastfed babies have less bowel movements, so you will go through less. Cloth you have to change more because they aren’t as absorbant. I would say 7-10 disposables and 15-20 cloth per day. Wipes, I’m still on my first really big box bought from a discount store. So it’s hard to say I never really noticed.
Best of luck! Happy Shopping!
Reply:Bibs - for when you start actually feeding the baby, you'll be AMAZED how many you go through ... so honestly ... you can't have too many. I had 35 bibs given to me during my pregnancy and i thought it was ridiculous ... but now that I'm feeding baby foods ... I'm grateful I had them all!!!
* Bottles (I plan to breastfeed at least 6 months) - although you plan to breastfeed, remember it's YOUR plan. Sometimes baby won't take to it, sometimes it's just too hard, or sometimes neither you or the baby will have a choice (as was in my case because my daughter was born too small and NEEDED to eat ASAP and couldn't wait to learn to latch) and you'll HAVE to supplement with a bottle. I say 6 bottles would be good. Also, you might want to consider buying opaque bottles or glass. Regular plastic bottles release a chemical called bisphenol-A into the formula when heated in a bottle warmer or washed with hot water that may cause retardation.
* Burp cloths ... again, you can't have too many. If you plan on washing laundry every week, I'd say instead of burp cloths, buy TONS of receiving blankets. Some to wrap baby boy in, and some to place under his neck for spit ups ... there's more area on receiving blankets and you can use the clean part for the next feeding. 20 + receiving blankets.
* Changing pads - I have only one and it's sufficient for outings to the mall, supermarket, other peoples' homes ... etc
* Cloth diapers (he'll wear these at home for the first few weeks) - can't help you here
* Cotton hats - hats also go by size, and depending on when you're due ... you may need more summer like hats for baby boy ... 10 would be good ... cotton/summer hats ... for each size ... and buy some that match outfits
* Lap pads - never had one ... don't think it's necessary
* Onesies -
0-3 months - you can never have too many and you go through them like it's going out of style ... either from spitups or from diaper leakage
3-6 months - at this point you'll be a little more experienced ... 12
6-9 months - same - 12
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months ---- be very careful with this ... because I had way too many outfits and never even got a chance to put them on my daughter before she was already too big for them. I'd say 7 casual outfits, maybe 4 church like outfits, and 3 or so outfits for other outings. For each size range ... again, careful ... you may end up with outfits that will never get worn.
* Receiving blankets - can't have too many
* Scratch mittens - some babies don't scratch, but if yours does ... buy tons because you'll want to change them after he's been sticking them in his mouth and gets them soaked
* Socks - TONS and these also go by size
* Soft shoes - this is really optional and I would suggest only getting one or two (you might want more to match outfits)
* Towels - 2
* Wash rags - four ... don't just use it once and then put it in with the laundry ... so long as you're washing laundry once a week ... buy 4
Reply:Bibs- You can never have enough!
Bottles- I was totally stressed out about having enough bottles and then it struck me "Duh! I am going to breastfeed!" Anyway, I am with my daughter pretty much all the time so I only need bottles for when I go out for a few hours. 4 would be enough. If you are going back to work, I'd say 10 or more.
Burp cloths- All of your clothes with become burp cloths. I hardly use the ones I have, actually, because they become a hassle.
Changing pads- I have one pad in the nursery, one in her diaper bag, and one spare.
Cloth diapers- If he's only wearing these at home for the first few weeks, then they can double as burp cloths after that. My daughter went through 12 diapers a day in the first month. I am not even exaggerating. She had a bowel movement at every feeding.
Cotton hats- Most kids I know hate having a hat on their heads. We used 1 or 2 on cold days.
Onesies- Just like bibs: You can never have enough. At least 7 to get you through a week.
Outfits- Bet on your baby wearing at least 2 outfits a day and a sleeper to bed. Depending on how frequently you want to do laundry, I would suggest at least 15 day outfits total.
Receiving blankets- These, too, can double as burp cloths. If your baby likes to be swaddled you probably want at least 5. If not, then they grow out of their usefulness very quickly.
Scratch mittens- I don't know a single baby that ever kept a pair of scratch mittens on for more than a minute.
Socks- Like the outfits, at least 15 pair in each size. And get the kind that have a cuff. They are more likely to stay on little feet that way.
Soft shoes- Buy sizes 0,1, and 2. At least one pair each size because they won't really get worn out, but you may want more to match different outfits.
Towels- 5 or more
Wash rags- 5 or more
Like I said, my daughter went through 12 diapers a day in the first month. Now she is down to 4 or 5 every day. Breastfed babies have a much cleaner bowel movement than their formula fed counterparts, so you probably won't use more than 3 wipes at each change. If it's just urine, 1 wipe is fine.
Good luck with your little bundle of joy!
Reply:There are several things on here you do not need right away - like bibs.
Bottles, I wouldn't use them at all (esp the first 6 weeks) if you're breastfeeding. Buy 2 and put them away until you need them. Using a bottle while baby is learning to breastfeed causes nipple confusion sometimes and he could refuse to nurse. Bottles are easier for babies and breastfeeding takes more effort...
Burp cloths - 6-10 (I used regular cloth diapers - they work great!)
Changing Pads - 2 or 3
Cloth Diapers (Check into a diaper service in your area - I've used one and I've washed my own, expensewise, it's about the same) Otherwise - buy enough to get through 2-3 days (24-30) plus 6-10 diaper covers.
2 cotton hats
Onesies - you need 6-10 in 0-3 (he will outgrow these the fastest), about 10 in 3-6 and 10 in 6-9
Figure 2-3 outfits per day plus pajamas. How often are you going to do laundry? I would have no less than 3 sets of pjs (footie/sleeper kind). Buy only up to size 6 mos now. You can get more later as he gets bigger! Newborn to 3 mos is the shortest phase!
Receiving Blankets - at least 5 (and go for natural fabrics and bigger sizes - little ones won't last long)
Socks - at least 10 pair
Mittens - 1-2 pair
Shoes - 1-3 pair
Towels with hoods - 2-3
Wash Clothes - 5 (you will use wipes for everything minor!)
Diapers for breastfed babies can be up to 15 a day. Mine went through about 10-12 I would say. Wipes - usually 1-3 per changing. If he's wet, 1 is fine, if more - it just depends!
I hope I could help! Best Wishes!
Reply:* Bibs- You never get enough bibs..
* Bottles- I had 14....

* Changing pads-Not many
* Cloth diapers-Lots....
* Cotton hats.. Summer is coming, so not many
* Lap pads..Not necessary
* Onesies - 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months-These are lifesavers..So as many as you want!
* Other Outfits (he'll be going to church - casual dress - every week and other outings now and then) 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months..I wouldnt invest so much in "outfits", but maybe one or two in each category...
* Receiving blankets..Never enough
* Scratch mittens..Not many, you can recycle those and keep nails trim...
* Socks..Lots, they always get lost in the wash
* Soft shoes..Not many as babies dont walk
* Towels..Never enough
* Wash rags..Never enough
Good luck!!
I would say stock up on onesies, diapers and bibs... Everything else is secondary!
Reply:Congratulations on your new baby! You will need at least 6 to 10 diapers a day until you can figure out your baby' schedule. Even though your breast feeding I would still get about 6 bottles to start with. You never know. get about 12 bibs, 12 burp cloths, 6 changing pads 3 or 4 hats lap pads you don't really need you will need about 10 onies. Outfits are going to very depending on where you go and do. Receiving blankets I would get about 6. Scratch mittens you won't need if you keep the fingernails trimmed. Socks I would get one pair for every outfit you buy. You don't need the soft shoes unless you want to but they are not necessary. Towels you will need one for each bath But get about 6 extra wash rags. Have fun with the new baby.
Reply:breastfed babies poo and pee a lot more often than bottle fed babies, so I'd get a LOT of diapers. I wouldn't waste my money on changing pads, most diaper bags come with a plastic one that is good for changing them in public places. Back when I had my son there were no such things as those baby changing tables in every bathroom, so I'd have to lay him on the counter to change him, so that plastic pad came in handy. I also wouldn't get very many burp cloths, a few will do, as you can use anything to wipe baby's mouth, and accidents will happen on your clothes even if you have a burp cloth on. Cotton hats are very important, but since you live in South Florida it is probably already warm there. They are only important in the winter time, but you should probably keep a little hat on his head for a few weeks. Onesies are GREAT, I'd get two packages of the newborn size, since he'll be growing very fast, he'll grow out of those quickly. The 3-6 month size will last much longer, so get more of those. If you're having a baby shower you will usually get TONS of clothes, more than the baby can use. When I go to a baby shower I get clothes a little bigger, because everyone buys newborn clothes, and they grow out of those so fast, before they can wear them all, so I like for the mom to have clothes for when the baby gets a little bigger. If you're not having a shower, then get a few newborn outfits and if people ask what you need for the baby tell them bigger sizes. Scratch mittens, a couple pairs of those will do, as his hands will outgrow them quickly. If you keep baby's nails trimmed he shouldn't scratch too much. Socks are great, ones by Baby gap stay on the best, so get socks to match every outfit. Shoes, get him one dress pair and one tennis shoes, size 1's. I'd get the bigger bottles because by the time you stop breastfeeding, he'll be out of the smaller ones, but get one package of small ones just in case (I wanted so badly to breastfeed but my son wouldn't take to it at all) sometimes things happen. Good luck and have fun shopping for baby!

My baby is 6 months and has a fever of 100.9? Is she ok, she isn't crying, only when I leave the room?
Last night may baby woke up at least 6 times, She never does this. She was hot the whole day but stupid me didn't think nothing of it....Duh!We were outside alot yesterday and it recently got hot. But I only put her in a onsies with shoes. So she wouldn't over heat. When should I be concerned? And she has allergies I think she has alot of boogers and I have had to use the saline drops alot lately HELP PLZ!!!! Thank you
My baby is 6 months and has a fever of 100.9? Is she ok, she isn't crying, only when I leave the room?
I was told to only call the ped office when the baby has over 103..101 is "normal" for infants, who are usually warmer than the rest of us.
Of course that recommendation never sat with me. I hated it and hoped my baby would never have fever a 100. and she didn't. We were just lucky.
But then when she started daycare, she's got all the colds and ear infections in the book.
Despite what the dr. said, I always called the office and ask (especially if she manifested other symptoms too (like pulling at her ear, I wouldn't wait for 103 to call).
So call the dr. anyway, what you've got to lose?
If the fever persists for more than 2-3 days (especially at night) she might be coming down with roseola (since the flu season is over). Does she go to daycare? That;'s a contagious disease:3-7 days of consistenly high fever (over 100), at the end of which skin rash appears (red spots, blotches, for 1hr to 2 days) on her upper back, hands, face.
keep taking and tracking the temperature at regular intervals (say every 6 hr, and at night too, set the alarm clock an wake up, that's when the high fever hits). and bring that up to your dr. They need documented facts, symptoms to make a diagnosis, not "I think"-type of statements.
and don't expect her to cry if nothing hurts (ear infection), au contraire watch if she's just out of it, quiet, lacking energy, loss of appetite. high fever without pain does that to people.
Reply:How is she acting? That is usually the biggest indicator of how ill a child is. If she is acting normal but still has the temp. she should be ok, you could still call the Dr. if you want. If she is laying around, crying, not really doing much then I would definetally call the Dr. She probably has a virus and the body has to heat up to kill the virus. You should probably dress her in light clothing (you don't want her to get a chill though), give her some tylenol and just watch her pretty close.
Reply:My doctor told me anything above 100.5 until the age of one goes straight to the office or if on the weekend the emergency room. Teething babies dont usually spike temps over 99.9.

For babies 3-6 months if the rectal temp is 101 or higher, you should call your doctor.

Adults have a more sophisticated body thermostat to help regulate their body temperature. When cold, an adult shivers, helping to raise the temperature of the body. Sweating occurs when an adult is overheated, to allow for cooling. These mechanisms, on the other hand, are not completely developed in newborns. In addition, newborns lack the insulating fat layer that older babies and children develop.
Because a newborn's temperature regulation system is immature, fever may or may not occur with infection or illness. However, fever in babies can be due to other causes which may be even more serious. Call your baby's physician immediately if your baby younger than 3 months old has a rectal temperature of 100.4° F or higher.
Fever in newborns may be due to:
infection
Fever is a normal response to infection in adults, but only about half of newborns with an infection have fever. Some, especially premature babies, may have a lowered body temperature with infection or other signs such as a change in behavior, feeding, or color.
overheating
While it is important to keep a baby from becoming chilled, a baby can also become overheated with many layers of clothing and blankets. This can occur at home, near heaters, or near heat vents. It can also occur when a baby is over bundled in a heated car. Avoid placing a baby in direct sunlight, even through a window. Never leave a baby in a hot car even for a minute. The temperature can rise quickly and cause heat stroke and death.
An overheated baby may have a hot, red, or flushed face, and may be restless. To prevent overheating, keep rooms at a normal temperature, about 72 to 75° F, and dress your baby just like you and others in the room.
low fluid intake or dehydration
Some babies may not take in enough fluids which causes a rise in body temperature. This may happen around the second or third day after birth. If fluids are not replaced with increased feedings, dehydration (excessive loss of body water) can develop and cause serious complications. Intravenous (IV) fluids may be needed to treat dehydration.

My baby is 6 months and has a fever of 100.9? Is she ok, she isn't crying, only when I leave the room?
I was told to only call the ped office when the baby has over 103..101 is "normal" for infants, who are usually warmer than the rest of us.
Of course that recommendation never sat with me. I hated it and hoped my baby would never have fever a 100. and she didn't. We were just lucky.
But then when she started daycare, she's got all the colds and ear infections in the book.
Despite what the dr. said, I always called the office and ask (especially if she manifested other symptoms too (like pulling at her ear, I wouldn't wait for 103 to call).
So call the dr. anyway, what you've got to lose?
If the fever persists for more than 2-3 days (especially at night) she might be coming down with roseola (since the flu season is over). Does she go to daycare? That;'s a contagious disease:3-7 days of consistenly high fever (over 100), at the end of which skin rash appears (red spots, blotches, for 1hr to 2 days) on her upper back, hands, face.
keep taking and tracking the temperature at regular intervals (say every 6 hr, and at night too, set the alarm clock an wake up, that's when the high fever hits). and bring that up to your dr. They need documented facts, symptoms to make a diagnosis, not "I think"-type of statements.

I dont know what kind of activity to do with her to keep her quiet. its hard for me to get paint out because her dad comes home for lunch and complains to me about the house being a mess, so i dont bother doing painting because of being told off. we go to the park and she gets bored!!

Reply:I don't know how important this job is to you but I would say just quit.I mean not only is the 8 year old being disrespectful, but her Dad is too.If quitting isn't an option, I would at least tell them how you feel.
Reply:You cannot control how this family talks to and treats each other. This child lives in an environment where being disrespectful is the norm. So when you are offended by her behavior she doesn't understand what your problem is, this is the way her family operates all the time.
If you have to keep the job, then your only option is to say to her: "I would like to be friends with you, but I don't like the way you treat me. Is there some way we can learn to get along better so our time together is more fun?" Let her take the lead in how you spend some of your time together. Does she like to play cards, or dance, or read, or draw? If painting is the thing she wants to do, then simply give her one more chance, but tell her first, "your dad doesn't like it to get messy, so we have to be careful". If she still makes a mess, just say "I guess this wasn't a good idea, we won't do this for a while". And then don't. Give it at least two weeks before you offer to give her another chance.
Don't think of this punishing her, think of this as a chance for you to be a good example to her about how people should treat each other. You may be the only person who treats her with respect. (And it is respectful to expect the best out of someone).
Good luck.

My doctor says that my baby may turn bowl legged but he said it is slight should i worry?
My baby is 13 months old and the doctor does not want him to wear heavy shoes he says he has a slight bowl leg but it can correct itself. If he does have it what do they usually do to them and what age do they make the move?
My doctor says that my baby may turn bowl legged but he said it is slight should i worry?
A slight bow-leg is not a serious problem,it is more common now and can be easily corrected by good support walking shoes and even if it's not corrected it's not treated as a medical condition.Back in the day when bow-leg was treated as a condition because so many babies were being born allergic to the milks that were on the market and they couldn't drink it,which led to the loss of calcium for the bones and when they were old enough to try to stand all the weight would push down on the legs and bow them out.If the bowing was severe then the legs would have to be broken and put in casts so that the bones would heal straight and some children even had to get braces on their legs.
Reply:I wouldn't worry i know that's impossible, but just pray %26amp; beleive everything will be ok. My neices son was a little bowl legged when he was about the same age,now he is 4 and i do see any sign of his legs being the way they were. Just pray and I will too. God Bless You %26amp; Your Family
Reply:its not a big deal my girlkfriend was bowleged bad and they fixed her's right away and then they kept up on it and they have fixed her legs so good that you can't tell hers were ever messed up. she said that it wasn't that bad just werried growing up with her legs in the brace to fix it but she is happy that they did it.
Reply:It's bow not bowl.
Common for kids, and yes it will usually correct itself. If it doesn't the doc may have them wear orthopedic shoes, possible wear casts or most dramaticly break the legs to correct the problem. Like I said, it usually corrects itself.
Reply:I think you mean bull legged. It just means that his legs will be far apart and he might waddle a little. I would just listen to the Doc b/c he went to school for all those years and I'm sure he learned something. But, I'm no expert you should ask someone else.
Reply:he just needs to walk more, thats why your doctor dont want him to wear heavy shoes. Shoes are not good for developing a natural walk in infants. It will straighten out with time. Soft clothe shoes are best for babies to start walking in. The kind that look like booties. The more he walks on it the better it will get.

Soft clothe shoes are best for babies to start walking in. The kind that look like booties. The more he walks on it the better it will get.

His BABY MOMMA is CRAZY!!!?
I love my boyfriend and his 2 kids also, and we've been together for a lil over a year now. Everything is great EXCEPT this DAMN baby MOMMA D-R-A-M-A!! They are divorced and have 1 child together. She treats their child like she don't know how to be a momma, when the child comes over, he don't have no toothbrush, underwear, shoes that aren't matching and my heart goes out to the kid. SECOND, She has VISITATION of HIS oldest son,,not a guardian. SO WHY IN DA WORLD she wanna call the cops saying that's her son, stop by un-announced, and she does all of this INFRONT OF THE CHILD, just causing stupid ****. He doesn't talk to her unless he wants to see his son, other than that, she can't reach him by phone cuz she doesn't have the number. Yes he has told her plenty of times that "they" are over, stop calling and stalking and just "popping up". I don't know what to do because my heart goes out to the kids and it's just frustrating and I don't wanna punch her lights out....suggestions?
His BABY MOMMA is CRAZY!!!?
He has to take her to court. The Judge will have her take a psych exam and possibly give her supervised vistation.
If they deem her unstable, he could get custody.
In the meantime, keep records of all inidents, calls, showing up, police reports, etc...
If she acts irrational, video tape her behavior.
Best wishes
Reply:Talk to you boyfriend/soon to be husband he is really the "ONLY" one that make things not so crazy!!!!
in the mean time hang in there
good luck

Pet's and planning a baby?
We currently have 3 pets, a 3 year old chihuahua that get's alittle defensive with new people but is a cuddle monster with everyone he knows, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old high energy beagle.
We are considering trying to conceive and are having major concerns about our current little ones. The cat I don't see an issue with, he is realtively calm unless one of the dogs is attacking him.
The chihuahua isn't too bad but I'm worried about the first meetings and wether or not he'll get defensive with the baby.
The beagle on the other hand is another issue, she continually demolishes my wives' shoes and books, she is completly energetic bouncing around and chasing the cat everywhere, she never has gotten physical except when we are in bed and try to move her she starts to growl alittle then she finnally jumps off the bed.
Just to clear up something, I WON'T GET RID OF ANY OF THEM!! I love them way too much. So if anyone can give some tips or experiences it would help greatly!!
Pet's and planning a baby?
You need to make sure that when you bring your little one home from the hospital you've prepared the animals first. While your wife is in the hospital, bring home a used diaper and a blanket that the baby has slept on and let the dogs sniff at it. They need to get the babies scent. Then when you bring him/her home...don't scold the dogs, talk to them softly and quietly, lay the baby on the floor, between your legs (Especially if you are the alpha male in your "pack"...if it is your wife, she must do this).. and let them sniff at the baby and smell her and get used to her wiggles, squeeks, cries, etc.... they must know that she is the new member of the "pack" and that she is "over" them....
Everything will work out well...even with the hyperactive beagle!! Good luck with everything!
Reply:As the person above suggested, take them for walks. This will help them release energy and let off steam, so they'll hopefully be more calm.
You should keep the pets away from the baby. Over time, they should get used to his/her presence without having to get close enough to do any harm. Put baby gates up to keep them from having access to where (s)he sleeps, and maybe even where your wife's shoes are kept.
Reply:Socialise them with babies and children.Bring the beagle for lots of long walks to get rid of some of his energy.when my daughter was born I had one dog,before we brought the baby home,we gave the dog a blanket that the baby had slept in,so he could get used to her smell.I think it worked very well.

New baby with a rough road ahead........?
I have a dear friend who just had a baby and he is very ill. He has a serious heart condition and possible Downs Syndrome. She is very overwhelmed and wanting lots of answers. Any moms out there (preferabley that have been in her shoes) have any advise of things I could do to help her cope or advise I could pass along to her.
New baby with a rough road ahead........?
The best place to start for her to find assistance is to locate the state's Part C Early Intervention program. This is a program for children birth to three with special needs. This program can connect your friend and her baby with other services the baby needs. You can go to the following website to get the number for your state's Part C contact person:
http://www.nectac.org/search/confinder.a...
Just be there for your friend, and give her this information. There is lots of assistance out there for her and her family. God bless you for trying to help her!
Reply:She should join a group that has other moms going through the same thing she is and also ask her doctor anything that may mind. I hope the best for her...
Reply:The best thing that you can do as her friend is be there for her. She will find that some people will walk away from her friendship because they don't know how to handle her situation. My daughter was critically ill as a newborn and I quickly learned who my true friends were. Ask her how SHE is doing. Sit with her in silence, bring her and baby balloons and toys. Bring her chocolate. Talk about happy things like how exciting it will be when you can take her and her son to the zoo for the first time. She needs love and attention and all the support emotionally that she can get right now. Good luck and tell her she and her son are in our prayers!
Reply:I have not gone thru this and I am very sorry for the situation. All I can say is to just be there for her ever step of the way. Help her with anything she may need. Talk her into joining a support group. Look up info for her and give her the information. I really hope everything gets better!!
Reply:The biggest thing you can do for her is to just be there for her to talk with. She need all the support she can get. She also should be in a support group (even one on-line). It helps so much to know that you are not the only one going through something like this and to talk directly with people who have gone through it.

Baby name question?
My wife wants a proper name for the baby but i want a down to earth name.
Her choice Alexander Wolfgangus Constantine
My choice Ryder Arnaz Constantine
So which one would you choose if you were in my shoes.
We made an agreement on which name gets picked we would choose.
Baby name question?
Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder Ryder - does that count for 10 on your side???
Well, I like Ryder. It sounds cute, handsome, different and yet classy. I think Ryder Wofgang (no "us" on the end) makes an excellent compromise. If not, Alexander Arnaz is pretty darn awesome too!
Good luck you two =] And....Congratulations!!!

Baby sock help?
I'm looking to buy sock for an 11 month old baby boy. He is beginning to stand and walk along things, since we have wood floors I would like his socks to have some sort of grip on the bottoms of them. Also his feet get really cold so the thicker the socks, the better.
I can't seem to find any that fit that description. He has really little feet (he wears a size 2 in infant shoes).
Any help, anyone know of good socks that will stay on his feet?
Baby sock help?
baby gap....I love there socks!! I would get the size 6-12 months, they would fit him well.
These socks are thicker

Reply:My daughter has tiny feet too! I didn't have much luck with socks to be honest, but several moms at my group recommended the baby gap socks. I just used Robeez (with a pair socks if it was cold). They are soft soled and the leather soles prevent slippage. They don't fall off. The 0-6 size will still fit him if he's in size 2. My daughter is still wearing that size and she's about an infant size 2.5 now at 13 months.
Reply:Old Navy gets my vote for socks with grips on the bottom. I have a few pairs for my guy even though he isn't even crawling yet but they seem to stay on well.
Reply:As has been said, there are socks with the grips on the bottom. My sister suggested to me to get the puffy fabric paint to put on the bottom of socks. (She told me this before I took her old "Parents" issues and saw it suggested in one of them.)
Reply:Try Walmart.I have a one year old and I find the only ones that stay on his feet are the socks that are more like a dress sock.They are thinner and have an elastic at the top.They cost a little more than the big jumbo packs of the white sport socks but are way better.As for walking on hardwood floors pick him up a little pair of shoes to wear around the house or some moccasins.I bought a cheap pair of shoes with a thin rubber sole that were just a step up from slippers they work great.I think they were from Walmart too.

Looking for the most comfortable black dress shoes for a child?
My son has lots of dressy outfits. Now that they weather is cooler I would like to dress him in them once in a while. I'm looking for some black dress shoes that are confortable, but feel more like a tennis shoe. I would love to find some shiny black ones.
Please don't repond with try Wal-Mart, Pay-Less, Ebay ect to get a quick 2 points. I'm wondering if you know of the brands from experiance. Links to them would be nice or just the type your baby or toddler wears.

Reply:they are perfect! just keep in mind that babies feet (as well as the rest of them) grow VERY fast. in my daughters first year of life she skipped two shoe sizes and only stayed in the sizes that did fit for about 2 - 4 weeks. so, shoes are a great idea, if it were me, i wouldn't invest so much money on something that the baby might not ever fit in to. if you are dead set on this pair, go for the biggest infant size you can get.

Why can I not feel the baby move regularly?!?!?
I am 25 weeks pregnent, I am overweight, (NO comments from the penut gallary) and I do not feel the baby move very regularly? On a daily basis I try to recount any movement and most of the time I can not, I havwe been having some very serious cramping in my lower left side and the doc has said it is related to my bowels not the baby! I have voice my concern that I do not feel the baby all the time and the doc has said nothing to comfort me. Has anyone been in my shoes????
Oh yeah this is my first, and I go to all my apts, doc says that I am doing fine. I am 24 years old and I am looking for some serious advise because I a really concerned about this.
Thank you in advance for all those who answered with advise.
Why can I not feel the baby move regularly?!?!?
It has nothing to do with your weight.
It most likely has to do with the size of the baby and the amount of fluid that the baby floats around in. I first felt a little kick at 21 weeks. It got a little more around 24, but by 28-30 weeks I could definitely feel the kicks.
Don't worry. The baby is moving like crazy...it is just buffered by lots of liquid.
Reply:If the baby moves at least once a day, usually after meals, then you are probably fine!
Good luck to you!
Reply:If you have extra weight on you, it's possible that it's more difficult to feel the baby move. I know doctors have a more difficult time hearing the baby's heartbeat when a woman is significantly overweight. I would consult your doctor to see how he/she feels about this.
Reply:I love BabyCenter and here's a link to part of their site that talks about feeling the baby move. Hope it helps!
Reply:Well at first when baby moves you really don't feel it to much because the movements are light and if your doing something else you may not notice it. Also being overweight can prevent you from feeling your baby move, at least until later in the pregnancy.
And every baby is different. But if you are having any sign of cramping i would bring this up to your doctor.
Try laying down and either drink some Orange juice, or some other sugary drink or sweet and lay still, you should begin to feel something..but at 25 weeks it is still very early and baby is still so tiny that it probably isn't anything to worry about.

12 weeks pregnant trying to get a headstart on baby registry.?
im doing unisex colors so no it does not matter that i do not know the sex yet.
this is my first baby and i have a list of what i "need" for the baby, but some of it seems pointless and more of like a must have for baby.
what are the most important things i should register for?
i already have registered....
monitor , travel mirror , burp cloths , diapers , bottles , bottle sterilizer , bottle brushes , pacifiers , mittens , rattles , teethers , first aid and grooming kits , vaporizor , diaper pail , tub , hooded towels , wash , shampoo , lotion , diaper rash ointment , baby wipes , wipe warmer , travel system , jumper , bouncer , positioner , high chair , crib/portable crib , toys , socks , onsies , shoes.
what am i missing , or do u suggest that any of these items are not necessary?
12 weeks pregnant trying to get a headstart on baby registry.?
Hi! I am 12 weeks too. I just wanted to add two things to your list...A boppy pillow, I hear its a must have, even if you are not breastfeeding. Also, depending on the sleeping arrangements you are planning on, a bassinet is great for the 1st few months....(right next to your bed) Of course they are only good until the baby can roll over but it will make the waking up in the middle of the night a little easier because you don't have to go far! If you know anyone expecting, they only need them for a short time so someone may have one you can have! Right when I told everyone I was pregnant, I was given two! lol
Oh ya, and receiving blankets, there cheap and extremely useful!
Good luck and if I think of anything else, I will let you know!
Reply:The main things you will need are vests, all in one suits, diapers (loads), creams, wash cloths, lots of bibs, blankets, bottles, formular (if not breast feeding), changing mat, diaper bag and monitors. The main thing i use and still use one year on is my "baby box", i keep it at home and stock it up on diapers, cream, powder, baby wipes, cotton buds, cotton wool, diaper sacks or whatever i use and i keep it with the changing mat. Sounds like you are pretty prepared all ready though! Best wishes and congrats! :-)
Reply:You won't need a wipe warmer, they'll just dry out your wipes. I wouldn't spend the money on shoes either because they grow out of them so fast. I also wouldn't register for the little stuff like shampoo, lotion %26amp; diaper rash cream and jsut register for the "big" stuff or register for everything theme-wise (i.e. winnie the pooh) I wouldn't register though until later, I don't know when regisitries expire. If you plan on knowing the sex, then wait until then to register so you can go with a "boy" theme or "girl" theme.
Also, don't forget about a car seat, stroller %26amp; maybe a swing.
Reply:If you are not planning on breastfeeding then yes go for bottles, sterilizer etc, otherwise forget them.
Don't bother with shoes (they fall off as bub has no heel), wipe warmer (dries them out), vaporizer (it will only make bedroom walls wet, if they get a cold or are stuffy put them in the bathroom with you in a bouncer/rocker while you have a shower).
I found hooded towels were not very thick and a normal size towel has enough length to fold from your chest down and up the back of bub with room to go over head.
I don't have but would love a rocker glider chair and footstool (both chair and footstool glide back and forth, great for feeding/settling bub and just relaxing for you) like we have in hospital.
Each time you shop buy a little extra when on special eg: wipes (can never have too many), lotion (great for massages), breast and sanitary pads, soap, dummies, soaker (napisan), singlets in size 000 (mine swam in 00000 clothes but singlet sizes are really only longer not much wider) etc.
All the little things that arent that expensive by themselves but that add up when done all at once. That way the registery is for more expensive items that can break a budget
I would also go for 2 pails and about 2 dozen nappies if you plan to use cloth otherwise 1 pail is enough (ask at local bakeries or supermarkets if they have any empty pails, usually give them away).
If you can find plastics (they go over nappy and hold nappy on baby like knickers) with velcro tabs like a disposable nappy they are great and make changing bots easy ( get about 6 of these). Also when buying wraps to swaddle baby they need to be over 100cm each way if you want to use them for sometime or else bub gets to big too fast.
Bassinettes are great my 1st 2 kids used theirs for 6 months each hoping currrent 1 does too (I'm 34 weeks and usually go at 37 weeks).
good luck

this is my first baby and i have a list of what i "need" for the baby, but some of it seems pointless and more of like a must have for baby.
what are the most important things i should register for?
i already have registered....
monitor , travel mirror , burp cloths , diapers , bottles , bottle sterilizer , bottle brushes , pacifiers , mittens , rattles , teethers , first aid and grooming kits , vaporizor , diaper pail , tub , hooded towels , wash , shampoo , lotion , diaper rash ointment , baby wipes , wipe warmer , travel system , jumper , bouncer , positioner , high chair , crib/portable crib , toys , socks , onsies , shoes.
what am i missing , or do u suggest that any of these items are not necessary?
12 weeks pregnant trying to get a headstart on baby registry.?
Hi! I am 12 weeks too. I just wanted to add two things to your list...A boppy pillow, I hear its a must have, even if you are not breastfeeding. Also, depending on the sleeping arrangements you are planning on, a bassinet is great for the 1st few months....(right next to your bed) Of course they are only good until the baby can roll over but it will make the waking up in the middle of the night a little easier because you don't have to go far! If you know anyone expecting, they only need them for a short time so someone may have one you can have! Right when I told everyone I was pregnant, I was given two! lol
Oh ya, and receiving blankets, there cheap and extremely useful!
Good luck and if I think of anything else, I will let you know!
Reply:The main things you will need are vests, all in one suits, diapers (loads), creams, wash cloths, lots of bibs, blankets, bottles, formular (if not breast feeding), changing mat, diaper bag and monitors. The main thing i use and still use one year on is my "baby box", i keep it at home and stock it up on diapers, cream, powder, baby wipes, cotton buds, cotton wool, diaper sacks or whatever i use and i keep it with the changing mat. Sounds like you are pretty prepared all ready though! Best wishes and congrats! :-)

How do I pull off baby pink AND baby blue together?
I'm going to a fancy dress this Friday as Baby Spice. I have the "dress" (which i suspect is nothing more than a long pink cami - it hardly covers my bum), with long white socks, pink ribbons for my hair and a blonde wig.
I have some really great shoes to go with it too - they're platforms (!) that I bought from TK Maxx about three years ago for some insane reason. The problem is they're baby blue rather than pink :'( How do I make the two colours go together without it looking odd? And still looking Spice Girls ish..
How do I pull off baby pink AND baby blue together?
try some baby blue accessories, hair ribbons, bracelets, things like that. maybe some white socks with baby blue bands, it would be cool to have some tube socks with baby blue stripes at the top. good luck and have fun
Reply:knee high white socks!!
Reply:blue hair ribbons instead of pink? blue stockings maybe? try to add another blue *of the same color as your pumps* to your wardrobe.

Baby belly??
I know that it's different for every woman but I'm just looking for somebody who's maybe been in my shoes. I am almost 5 months along now, I was heavy to begin with. I don't feel that I've actually taken my shape yet...and It seems odd because other woman at my time seem to be getting there! lol I just look like I've put on tons of weight but not the actual "baby" bell. It get's depressing because people just think I'm fat, not pregnant. Has anybody else been through this?! Could it just be to soon because of my weight to begin with? I don't even feel the harding of my tummy or anythings. Hmps =(
Baby belly??
One morning you will wake up %26amp; instant baby belly.
My daughter had twins at at 4 months she was wearing her regular size 2 jeans %26amp; by 5 months she looked like she was due to deliver. What a difference a week or two can make.
Patience it is coming %26amp; not showing according to her doctor was a sign of good physical condition.
Enjoy your pregnancy - go buy a couple of the fluffy tops that make us all look pregnant - try New York %26amp; Co, I got 2 there that make me look pregnant LOL Good luck!
Reply:your tummy will harden when it is time.

Reply:I was the same way (I have a 13 month old now). I was a little overweight when I got pregnant, and even more now. I felt that I just looked like I was getting fatter until the 7th month or so. Skinnier women probably look pregnant earlier, not fat because they gain only the little pregnant belly and there's no/little fat to hide it. I looked like a hippo by the end, and I think I was bigger around than I am tall. It's probably just in your head though, that's what everyone always said.
Reply:Hey,
When I was pregnant I put on 30kgs/66lb.
I never quiet got the baby belly.
I looked like I just was fat and had a podge!
My tummy never hardend I was laying on it at night until the day he was born! On a slight angle but laying on it more than a 'normal' pregnant lady!
Don't be depressed over it!
I started to were the spagehtti strapped singlet tops and they were snug on me and made my belly look more real!
Goodluck sorry I can't help more...
Congrats!!!
