Having a Baby

Prepare Your First Baby - The Story

Once the 20 week scan has passed then the whole "having a baby experience" starts to intensify. You may, if you chose to, be pretty sure of the new arrivals sex. Remember you may well be planning on having more children and your first born's little brother might not look quite so dashing in a pink pushchair!

If you already have family members who have kids then you may well have some of the essentials in your home, namely a Baby high chair, a few baby cups, eating utensils and a stair gate. The great thing and the thing to remember (as well as to breathe) is that you have longer than you think to get a lot of the things on your ultimate Baby product shopping list.

What you need to have done before the baby is brought home from Hospital

Make the finishing touches to your nest

If you have any DIY or Home Improvement tasks that have been waiting then this is the time to do them so you can create a nice, comfortable home for your new family.

Products you Must have in the house by the time your baby comes home

You will need somewhere for the baby to sleep such as a Moses Basket, including bedding which should be nice and soft to create a cosy place for your newborn. You need a range of basic clothing, such as sleep suits, romper suits and cardigans and a soft towel (for your babies use only).

Your baby will need constant feeding and so you will need Baby bottles and sterilizers if you chose to not breast feed (or can't) and Nipple cream and breast pads if you do. You will need a changing matt, Nappy sacks, Cotton wool, a changing bag to keep all this newly important gear and of course a never ending supply of nappies.
