Checklist for the newborn and mummies

Recommended Posts

Things to Buy _ List compiled from recommendation from mummies in the forum.

Stroller (do some research on what are your needs before you buy. Typically will need 2 strollers in my opinion. Would recommend Maclaren Quest for 4 months above). I have a full reclined Combi that I used from newborn to 3 months but it's not lightweight and harder to maneuver.

Car seat (Good brands are Maxi Cosi, Peg Perego & Britax). Get one you can use from newborn to 3 years old

Avent bottle 3 Big (BPA free ones)

Avent bottle 4 Small (BPA free ones)

Avent Bottle Sterilizer

Avent Citric Acid Descaler for the sterilizer

Extra Teats for stages

Avent sealer disc (important so your bottle don't leak when u go out)

Baby Clothes (Get the vest kind for newborn, easier to put on).

Breast Pump (electric recommended) - Avent or Medela

Breast Milk bags for storage

Bottle Warmer Bag/ insulated bag & ice packs

Changing Mat

Nappy rash cream (Desitin creamy or Drapolene)

Baby moisturizer (Johnson's)

Diapers: Pampers Premium for Newborn or Mamy Poko Newborn

Diapers Size S for when they outgrow the newborn in 1 months time

Baby Wet wipes

Cotton pads to clean eyes

Face towels (for bath and also to wipe their milk when they regurgitate)

Soft bath towel

Bibs (Mothercare has good ones)

Ziplock bags for outings or store pampers when going out

A good Diaper bag with lots of storage. Mine is Baby Mel

Baby Cot (with wheels is preferred, at least 3 levels and convertible to toddler cot with plastic protectors on the top bars)

Baby Cot mattress (Baby safe latex mattress)

Baby cot mobile (Rainforest mobile by Fisher Price or Tiny Love Mozart Musical mobile - read online reviews at Amazon.com!)

Baby Cot Bumper, bedsheet

Nappy as a light blanket or to wrap them up for security

Baby sleep positioner (optional) or a bean husk bag

Baby Teether

Baby Bjorn Carrier (lifesaver! The hubs looked better with the Bbjorn carrier than the sarong)

Sarong sling from Moms in Mind (www.mim.com) or the Baby Pouch from www. pupsilk.com

Breastfeeding cover with Elbow Nursing Pillow (www.bigbellymama.com)

Pacifier ( I didn't get this, but if you can't stand the crying, get NUK ones which are orthodontric recommended ones)

Baby Monitor (Phillips) - I didn't get this either as my house isn't big but if you have a big home it will be handy

Baby bathing

Baby soap/ bath lotion (Johnson’s baby milk bath recommended, use very little for each bath)

Baby shampoo (get mild ones as baby has sensitive senses). Kodomo brand has the best fragrance,

Baby blanket

Baby powder (corn starch ones recommended to prevent inhalation)

Thermometer - Braun digital ear thermometer

Kodomo baby clothes detergent (great for stains)

Rubber ducky to distract baby

Rubber mat for them to sit inside the bath tub (also for travelling ie. Hotel bath tubs)

Baby Bath Tub (with reclining seat)

Toys & Playstuff

Rattle (Get a few with different sounds, designs)

Baby play gym

Bumbo Seat with tray

High Chair (I recommend the Fisher Price Booster seat. Just strap on to your dining chair. Saves space and easy to clean and remove)

Playpen (good to plonk baby in when you need to get something done)

Playpen mattress

Soft cloth books/ plastic bath books (A good investment. Keeps S occupied a good 15-20mins when we go out for dinner)

Mummy Care

Breast cream for cracked nipples

Disposable Nursing pads

Disposible panties (important coz will bleed a lot after delivery). Get the good quality ones

Sanitary pads (Whisper - Long Ultra dry recommended) No need to get maternity pads.

Inflatable float to sit on after delivery (Stiches will hurt if got episotomy)

Dettol handwash (disinfect, disinfect, disinfect!!! Also for your guests to clean their hands before they touch baby)

Dettol to clean other things

Confinement Needs if practised

Sesame oil

Black vinegar

Ginger

Dried Mok Yu

Dried Longan

Dried dates

Dried Tong Sam

Chicken Essence

Bird's Nest if it doesn't hurt your pocket. (Double boil with ginseng, cordyceps or ginkgo nuts or egg for variety)

Organic Prune Juice (this is a lifesaver! Especiallly after delivery and it hurts like hell when you need to go!)

Do you need the big bottle? I don't think it is necessary for newborn

it's always good to get a good brand for the first child because trust me, all those can last until your 3rd or 4th child. hhihihihih. I went all extravagant for my eldest and I save a lot when it comes to my second addition. :)

Baby`s nails grow quickly, parents should take the baby nail clippers to take care of this dangerous issues instead of the adult size. The american red cross offers a completely set of stuffs for baby, such as the nail clippers and emergency medicate. Take a look for the collection of top nail clippers for baby on amazon to get more choice.
