5 Newborn Needs List that Must Be Prioritized

When the time of labor is approaching, of course moms will start making a list of newborn needs. The feeling of excitement and excitement awaiting the presence of the little one often makes moms go crazy shopping and want to buy all the newborn equipment.

Moms should not go crazy shopping because there is still plenty of time to pamper and fulfill the needs of the baby when the little one is born later. Moms better prioritize basic equipment first to avoid excessive and unnecessary spending.

When should moms start buying baby needs?

Installing the purchase of baby needs throughout pregnancy or saving and buying them closer to the day of delivery are both good approaches and can be adjusted to the preferences and financial conditions of Moms.

The right time to start buying baby necessities may vary from one expectant mother to another. However, many experts recommend that preparations begin around the beginning of the third trimester of pregnancy, which is around week 28 until the end of pregnancy.

List of Key Newborn Needs

Welcoming a newborn requires careful preparation. Preparing for the arrival of a newborn is important to ensure their comfort and safety. Here are some newborn equipment that needs to be prepared ahead of the baby's birth:

1. Age-appropriate Baby Clothes

Clothes are the main newborn equipment needs. However, moms don't need to buy too much because the baby's body will grow quickly. If you want to buy your little one's clothes at once, you can increase the size so that it can be used later.

2. Baby diapers according to age

For newborn diapers, you can use cloth diapers or special disposable diapers for newborns. The right type of diaper for newborns is adhesive diapers. Moms need to prepare newborn diapers because usually babies need to change diapers 10-12 times a day.

3. Baby bedding and baby bedroom supplies

Cribs and nursery supplies are a must in the baby's room so Moms need to buy safe bedding for the baby for the first six months of birth.

4. Feeding bottle

Although moms decide to breastfeed directly (direct breastfeeding), but moms are still advised to prepare milk bottles. If at any time there is an urgent need that requires a baby milk bottle or pacifier, you already have it. After all, milk bottles can be used in the long term until the baby can drink formula.

5. Toiletries

Newborn baby equipment that is no less important is toiletries. Moms need to prepare baby toiletries such as bathtubs, special baby soap and shampoo, special baby towels and washcloths. Choose baby equipment products with safe ingredients.

 Tips for Preparing Newborn Baby Needs

As mentioned at the beginning, moms can be frenzied in choosing newborn baby equipment. It does not even rule out the possibility of moms buying newborn baby needs that are not really needed. Here are tips on preparing newborn baby needs so that moms are not confused and avoid shopping mistakes:

1.  Make a list of needs

Preferably before shopping, moms need to make a list of necessary needs so that you don't miss an item and so you can control finances.

2.  Prioritize basic needs

Moms should prioritize the baby's basic needs first, such as clothes, diapers, and breast milk needs. This is because these basic needs are very important for the well-being and comfort of the baby, especially in the early period of life.

3.  Prioritize Safety and Comfort

By prioritizing comfort and safety, Moms can provide an environment that supports baby's development and well-being well. It is always important to do research, read reviews, and follow manufacturers' safety guidelines when choosing and using products for babies.

4.  Calculate the Amount Needed

Calculating the amount a baby needs in a day is an important step to ensure you have enough supplies and can provide adequate care.

Moms also need to take into account factors such as baby's habits, the weather, and baby's eating habits (if they have started solids). Some items, such as diapers and swaddling, may need more supplies. It is always better to have a little more supplies than less.

5.  Buy Baby Clothes in Larger Sizes

The approach of buying baby clothes in slightly larger sizes can be a good idea, especially since babies grow quickly. Choosing clothes that are slightly larger can be a wise choice, provided that you still consider comfort, seasonal needs, and the baby's rapid growth.

6. Don't Rush to Buy Baby Supplies

Moms can ask friends or relatives who are more experienced about recommendations on where to shop for complete and cheap newborn baby needs or Moms can also save more if you get some baby equipment that is no longer used by your closest family and friends.
