Essentials List

[alexw]

Morning all. Am sure this might have been done before, but was wondering what are the essentials to have ready before newborn comes home? Have done this before but thought a checklist would be useful in case I in my fuzzy state have forgotten something obvious! Thanks.

I'm doing this at the moment. It's been five years since I last did it and I'm getting close so hope I've got it more or less covered... So far I've got:

Bath seat
Nappies
Sudocrem
Metanium (the best nappy rash cream known to man)
Cotton wool balls for cleaning her up (I won't use baby wipes yet)
Muslins
Swaddling blanket
Bottles, teats, steriliser, bottle brush
Dummy

Er, and the obvious things like clothes, buggy, changing table, moses basket... Did I forget something?

Great! It's been 5 years here too.
