Just a few days back, I happened to attend a baby shower on the behaldf of my young friend who is expecting the first child. I noticed that most of the attendees there were all college friends, with no issues as yet.

Of course, some gifts called for a lot of explanation. Also the would be mothers looked surprised with many things. They all were under the impression that ‘baby layettes’ are just another item on the checklist of the items that you must buy before the junior arrives. But this li’l term culminates to a lot more than that. Here are some tips to prepare for the young one.

1. You must have around four to six of all the basic daily needs of the baby.

2. These include items such as undershirts, onesies, sleeping gowns, footsie pajamas, hooded towels, socks, receiving blankets, washcloths, etc.

3. Be prepared to have some arrangement for daily clothing as having a child means multiplying the laundry exponentially. You surely would not like to leave the child with a spot food spot on his/her last clean shirt and move to the laundry.

4. Plan a lovely going home outfit. This would be an emotional, sentimental & memorable moment that would be clicked by several relatives and shall be a nostalgic moment for the entire house.

5. Further, plan for the baby’s nursery that is an adjustable crib that meets with your ever growing baby’s needs. You shall surely need the baby’s bedding in the form of a crib or a bassinette along with a minimum of two to four sheets for the same.

6. Along side for the crib you would also need a crib bumper, and 2 to 3 crib blankets.

7. You might also want to consider picking out some dust ruffles and waterproof pads for this crib. Though these would be needed a bit later.

8. You shall also need a playpen to carry your new family member along with you to the social gatherings, friend’s or family’s visits, etc. These playpens are also useful to park your kid in another room with in the house in order to fetch out sometime for yourself in the early months.

9. Plan the baby clothes in a way that you are able to stock up sizes from 3 – 6 months of age. This sis because sometimes the baby is larger than the average size of the newborn, or he/she has a faster growth.

10. You must have at least one large box full of the newborn sized diapers when the baby comes home. However, the baby would soon outgrow these so, do not stock them in that bulk. It would be wise to pick these diapers from a sale.

11. For the bathing & hygiene needs of the child you would need the following items:

a. 2 to 3 bottles of baby shampoo
b. 1 bottle baby oil
c. 1 bottle baby lotion
d. 1 pack of baby powder for which corn starch works as a great alternative
e. 1 tube of zinc oxide to wash the diaper rash

12. Even the mothers who are breast feeding the baby, 6-12 bottles along with the nipples & collars are the basic needs. Those who are not breast feeding the baby might need some extra nipples as well.

Just look at some of the high end websites, these of course are mass produced by a couple companies. Why not take a look at the many expert sewers, right here in the USA, that can offer these same sets direct to you. Although, you must pay attention to many specifics, again, fabrics used, techniques, details, and of course design.

Look for ruffles, cotton fabrics, piping (I make my own, or use high end trimmings, some found in NYC), fabric ties, but again design and fabrics are most important, You should not be able to see thru a fabric!

Knowing what baby care products you should be looking for can be a troublesome and stressful experience for any new parent. Baby safety is very important, and the anticipation of the responsibility that being a new parent necessarily involves is usually coupled with being inundated with brochures, leaflets and books listing countless dozens of essential products that you will need to purchase and install.

A very important consideration for your new baby is the question of temperature. It is easy for small children to get very cold, particularly in their hands and feet, so make sure that you have plenty of baby clothes, rompers or sleepers, and items to cover the little extremities such as mittens and booties.
For more details go to: www.baby-care-book.com It is important to make sure that your new baby’s head is always covered, as a good deal of heat can be lost through the head, and for this reason a bonnet or hat is important. This is particularly true if your child is born during the winter months.

There has been much written about how to ensure that your baby is safe whilst sleeping in their cot or Moses basket. Make sure they sleep on their side or on their back and that you do not use pillows, duvets or loose toys, as these can easily cover the face of your baby, resulting in possible breathing difficulties. Keep in mind that cribs and cots must meet federal and ASTM standards, so if you purchase yours from one of the top manufacturers you can be sure that these are met.

It is also important to make sure that your baby is sleeping in a room which is of an appropriate temperature. There are a range of baby thermometers available which clearly indicate the optimum temperature for your baby’s nursery. If the room is quite warm then it is important not to use polyester sheets, and to remove any plastic wrapping that may be around the mattress. Make sure that you have plenty of baby blankets, and warm slick suits or rompers, in case the temperature drops too low.

There are a tremendous number of baby safety devices available to help protect your baby from the various dangers that an average family home presents. From baby gates to door stoppers, from electrical output plugs to fireguards – the sheer number and variety can be overwhelming. But in thinking about baby care products it is easy to forget that many of these items might be better described as toddler care products. It will be several months before your baby stands any chance of being able to get anywhere near any of these household dangers.

For this reason it is usually advisable for new parents to focus on those products that are actually going to be needed in the first few days and weeks of your new baby arriving. Baths and bottles are of particular importance. As a mother, whether you have decided to breast-feed or bottle feed it is sound advice to have bottles and baby milk formula ready just in case.

You will also need to make sure that you have a way of sterilizing the bottles, and it may well be advisable to practice sterilizing and making up the bottles of milk. Make sure that your bottles are glass: Canada has banned the use of plastic bottles due the possible content of Biphenyl a (BPA) in polycarbonate bottles, and many environmental organizations are suggesting that other countries should do the same due to its possible adverse effect on the endocrine system, responsible for the regulation of hormones in the body.

When it comes to transport, car seats are of critical importance and you will have to purchase this before you get baby home. If there is one baby care product that must purchase new it is this. For can visit to:  www.create-super-baby.com this is not the time to take a chance on second hand goods, the history of which you do not know, and any child car seat could have been previously damaged without your knowledge. Also make sure to check the expiration date – yes, they have one – and that the seat is facing to the rear until your child is over one year old and at least 20 ponds, when he or she can be switched to a forward facing seat.

It is impossible to know for certain which baby care products your own baby will take to best. As long as you have purchased a good quality crib or cot, with appropriate sheets and blankets, a huge number of nappies and changes of clothes for the first few days and are confident in using the baby milk bottles and sterilizers, then the chances are that you will thoroughly enjoy the first few days of having your new baby, although in your sleep deprived state it is unlikely that you will
Remember this!

It is often difficult for new parents to understand what baby care products they should purchase for their new addition to the family. The problem is not the range available, but knowledge of all the hazards presented to babies, and how to protect them from the risks these hazards present. Baby safety is specific to new babies that cannot help themselves should they be in trouble.

We moved to a toddler bed when he was about 14 months old and started trying to climb out of the crib. He’s 2 1/2 now and is still in his "big boy bed". We’re expecting our 2nd child in June and I’ll most likely do the same thing for them when they arrive, only when they are ready for a toddler bed after their first birthday we’ll be getting a bigger twin bed for our son at that point and using the toddler bed for the baby.

What I’ve noticed is that it’s really hard to find cute clothes for BOYS, but girl clothes are easy to find. Where do you get your baby clothes?
