This is more of a curiosity question than anythingI think it would be fun to get my CDL and drive cross country with my wifeWe don't have any kids and I think it would be fun to just go and be together and see the country with my wifeThoughts?
First of all, congratulations to you for your baby! yes, it's a little bit scary and exciting at the same time, but don't worry, dear, people are here to helpNow, going to your question, the best answer would be to buy several sets of baby clothes, maybe at least 6 or 7 setsYou'll find a lot of baby stores online today such as Lime Tree Kids, that sell high-quality baby clothes for lessFor the diapers, buy the largest pack you can so you can save moneyNewborns change diapers up to 8 times a day, for your informationYou don't need toys at this moment and small bottle of shampoo could last weeksFor your feeding bottles, choose quality brands like Avent and get at least four 4 ozor 9 ozbottles.
Baby uses 8-12 nappies a day, you will use probably 3 packets of baby wipes a weekYou want enough nappies to last a couple of weeksYou can either buy a tub or if you have a good sink can bathe baby in there for the momentBaby wont need a high chair until it is about 5-6 months old so can wait on thatWill need a cot plus under sheets (so not need pilliows or bumpers or anything like that, they are just a wSte of money and a sids risk)Buy a few clothes in different stylesBuy cheap clothes especially the newborn clothesThey grow out of them very quickly, they get covered in baby sickYou want to buy things that are easy to get on adn off one peice romper suits are good and onesiesI wouldnt bother with cute stuff or shirt and pants sets until they are a bit olderLots of cloths for whiping up vomit, and messesCrib and car seat Pram or a baby carrierSwaddling cloths Changing mat Bum cream in case of nappy rash (zinc and castor oil cream is good) Baby shampoo and body wash
At least 3 tons of eachA baby uses almost 10 pounds of wipes and several diapers every dayYou need to make sure you can clean up after anyaccidents.
You should have bought stuff for your baby WAY before nowYour going to be rushing now to get everything you need before the baby comesWhat if it comes early? Also, you shouldn't feel like you need to go to Babies r Us or Bloomingdale's for your baby's stuffThose stores can be expensive and Wal-Mart, Target, and other shops have the exact same products for a cheaper price and they are just as high quality Anyways, yes you will need a crib and a car seatYou can hold out on the high chair until the baby is about 6 months but you will need to buy the baby tub nowAs soon as the umbilical cord falls off you can start giving the baby a bath in the infant bath tub, which can be anywhere from 1 week after birth to a month after birth You are going to need more than just a couple outfitsMy nephew is a month old and goes through 4 or 5 outfits a day from spitting up, peeing through his diaper, or sweating in his sleep and getting his clothes wet with sweatDon't forget to buy a lot of receiving blankets either because he will probably pee through those as wellYou will need a lot of newborn diapers because they go through them a lotStart off with one box and you can go buy more if you need more.
