I have 4 of the following ionization smoke detectors hard-wired into my home - one in my living room and one in each of my three bedrooms. By 'hard-wired' I mean they aren't just stuck on the ceiling - the detectors are connected to the wiring in the ceiling.
?Car seat-correct size based on weight of child.?Pram/push chair- correct size based on weight of child. ?Changing mat, ?Baby wipes- being careful of any allergies your child has, I would recommend getting non-fragranced sensitive skin wipes while unsure of any allergies and your baby is young. ?Nappies- correct size based on weight of child. ?Toys-age and ability appropriate, also try getting lots of bright colours and different textures to stimulate the child. ?Bottles-determine the size of the bottle on the size of your child, large childlarge bottle. ?Sling-baby should be facing you as if child was facing outwards it could cause curvature of the spine. ?Stair gate- when child is crawling and walking. ?Cot- ensure this is British kite marked as this guarantees it was well manufactured.?Baby monitors. ?Soft books, with different textures, as this can involve you, when you read them, but also baby can play alone with these. ?Bibs, ?Safety socket covers and other baby proofing, ?Sterilising equipment
Lots of love and most important patience, the usual things are bottles if you're going to bottle feed, formula (apply for WIC) if money is an issue, formula is expensive, diapers, baby wipes, clothes, a few blankets. I am a firm believer in onesies and socks, a baby should always have socks on it feet. ( that's just me though). If you plan on breast feeding you should have a pump, and a bottle on hand just in case you have problems breastfeeding.
Cotton girths are probably the worst kind! They've got no stretch and they get dirty so fast. You want either a synthetic or leather one with elastic on one side. Neoprene leathers aren't bad, they just take forever to break in and get supple.
I in the pregnancy section they should have one too!
