I hope this is ok to post in this forum. I wasn't sure where to post!
My brother and his partner are expecting their first baby. They don't know whether it will be a boy or girl yet. She is due at the start of March. I have bought a baby bath for them (it is what they wanted) but wanted to give a box of essentials or something when I go visit after baby is born.
Can anyone give me some advice on what would be good to put in this gift box? Me and DH have just started TTC our first and I don't know a lot about babies (I'm reading up though!), I've never looked after a baby before. So I'm not sure what essentials would be best. I thought about some Johnsons bedtime bath lotion and Johnsons shampoo but then wondered if newborns need shampoo...
If someone was going to give you a box of essentials, what would you like it to contain? What would be useful? All I know I'm going to get so far is some clothes. Also, is there anything you really wouldn't want?
Thanks in advance!
