Essentials To Buy When You Have A Newborn Baby Girl
It is oh so easy to get carried away with buying cute little outfits and bits and pieces for your soon to be born baby girl, but some restraint may be needed unless you want a cardiac arrest when the credit card bill arrives at the end of the month. There are certain essentials that you will need, but sometimes when it is your first baby it is hard to know exactly what you need and how many of each item you will require.
Baby cribs are absolutely essential, but if you are planning on having more than one child then it is best not to buy a cot that is too gender specific. You can make the cot more feminine by adding quilts, pillows and rugs that are pink or in girlish prints. You may also be able to add accessories or embellishments to the cot such as bows as long as they are safe.
As well as decorating the cot you can also add features around the nursery that will add to the gender theme. This can be an effective way to make the room girly without having a cot that is too girl focused to be unusable in the event of a future male baby.
Your baby is unlikely to stay in the first newborn size for very long, so it is better if you only buy a couple of outfits in the smaller size and mostly go for girls sweatshirts and rompers that are the next size up from the quadruple zero newborn size.
Babies are messy little beings and you will find that you go through an inordinate amount of little girls t shirts and vests as they get wet on, vomited on, slobbered on etcetera. You will have to have enough on hand to have a couple that are ready to go, a couple that are in the wash and a couple in reserve for especially messy days.
Other items that you will need include loads of baby blankets and wraps depending on the time of the year that the baby is born, a bath, change table, nappies, lotions and a thermometer. Buying an ear thermometer is a good investment as they give fast and accurate readings and it will last you for years to come.
You can buy so many different things when you are expecting a baby and if it is your first time it is hard to know what items are essentials and what items you can live without. If it is your first baby, then talk to other mothers that you know about what items they recommend and what items you do not need to spend the money on.
