Baby due in 4 week - what are the essentials

[babydays123]

I'm just starting to seriously think about getting organised.

This isn't my first pregnancy but it was over 11 years ago since my last child was born so I've forgotten everything.

I only thought yesterday that I can't remember what I wore when I was in labour...my first was induced so I was in the hospital in a nightie, my second was almost born in the car park she came that fast and I have no memory 😆 (are we thinking nightie?)

In terms of essentials for the first week. So far I'm thinking I need:

Car seat
Nappies and creams etc.
Moses basket
Some clothes
Pram (I know it not essential but I list it here because I have one)

Is there anything else essential?

Feeding stuff? I planned to breastfeed and it didn't work out so I was then on Amazon prime buying bottles and formula, stressful. Dummies were a godsend when the colic started up.

Lots and lots of muslins and bibs
Lots of vests and sleepsuits
Baby sleeping bags or swaddles
A couple of blankets and hats
Fully stocked changing bag for going out the house
Nappy station on each floor of the house including changing mat, nappies, wipes, bum cream, fresh clothes, nappy bin
Some sort of cot/safe sleep area
Car seat
Pram and/or baby carrier/sling
Feeding paraphernalia depending on how you are planning to feed
Nipple pads and maternity towels
