List Of Newborn Needs
Just like adults, even newborns have needs. The only difference is that they do not ask for them. You need to plan and arrange all the things that a newborn needs. As a parent, first of all learn to differentiate between the baby's needs and your wants. |
You may paint the baby’s room, buy a fancy crib, and bring a lot of toys, but none of which the baby cares about. However, there are some basic needs that a baby cannot do without. These are required for your child’s safety.
- Good thermometer
- Blankets to keep them warm. Babies, after they turn a couple of months old, tend to kick the blanket away. So it is better that you dress them up warmly before their bed time. Keep two or three blankets.
- Diapers
- Warm clothes
- Tylenol or Motrin
- Diaper rash cream
- Good quality feeding bottles with silicon nipples that do not cause gas in the stomach. This is required initially if you have decided to give the baby formula.
- Formula stock
- Cotton swabs
- Good baby cream
- Soaps and shampoo for bathing
- A set towels for drying
- Hair brush
- Nail clipper
- Safety or first aid kit
- Diaper bag
- Bottle warmer
- Hot bottle
- Baby bath tub
- A baby monitor or an alarm. However, this is not required if you are going to have the baby right next to you. But if the baby is going to sleep in another room, then it is a must.
- Always remember that people in other parts of the world bring up their babies even without these things; but they cannot bring up a child without the mother’s love and attention.
