baby backpack stroller combo image
Q. Ok....I'm new at this and I'm trying to figure out how much money to put away to buy this stuff. I need to buy EVERYTHING and I'm trying to put together a list. Is there anything major I'm excluding that you can think of that a newborn baby will need?
For the nursery:
-Crib & Bed Combo
-Bookshelf
-Crib Sheets
- Rocking Chair
-Change Table
-Dresser
-Lamp
-Laundry Hamper
-Mobile
For the baby:
-Sling/Backpack to hold the baby
-Stroller/Car Seat Combo
- Play pen
-Diapers, Diaper Bag, Dirty Diaper Bin
-Bottles, Pacifiers
-Plates, Cutlery
-Toys/Swing
-Baby Monitor
-Blankets
-Clothes, Shoes
-Bathroom Stuff (Shampoo, Towels, Baby Powder etc.)
-High Chair
-Stair Guards
-Plugs for the electrical sockets and baby-proof hooks for the cupboards
-Food
Thanks everyone :-)

Ok, First off, take the changing table off your list! People don't use them and they just take up space! You can get a nice thick changing pad that you can put on top of a dresser and change the baby there! Truly the only things you need to bring a baby home is, a car seat, a crib and sheets, bottles if you don't breast feed, blankets and sleepers!! The rest is just extra's that may make somethings easier, but also can clutter up a home! You don't need a high chair until baby is 6 months old, no solids before then!! Shoes are mean until baby is learning to walk, stair and plug guards aren't needed until baby learns to move!! They sell A LOT of stuff now for babies that are not needed and just fill a house up with crap!!

Pcs'ing to Hawaii with kids & newborn and Need help!?
SESw4
My husband has just gotten orders (as many people are getting right now) and we are moving to Hawaii. This will be our farthest PCS so far. We have 3 kids aged 9,8,and 3 and when we finally fly, we will also have an 8wk old baby too. I haven't flown in years, since about 2000, and never flown with kids. While Im not worried about our older ones, Im very concerned about flying with the newborn. We are out of Ft. Campbell KY so it will be a very long flight with a few layovers. Can someone tell me how to best prepare for this? I know there are many new guidelines when flying and such so I want to make sure I do everything right. Am I allowed to have baby bottles with water in them to make for easier mixing? Can I bring a playpen/bassinet combo (its in its own fold and store bag) as a checked bag under the plane? Am I allowed to bring the baby in a travel system stroller (carseat stroller combo)? What is the general wait time for housing to become available? We are on the list for a 4br. Wanted a 5br but we were told it would take much longer for that to become available so we went with a 4br instead. How are the schools there? Are they advanced, comparable, or behind to the main states?
Im sorry if this is a lot. I know literally nobody that has gone there with little ones. Only came home with new ones. ;) lol Im such a planner and want to make sure Im organized are ready for any scenario. Thanks in advance!!
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately we dont have any specific details as far as airlines goes. Since we are military, we will have them pay for the tickets and everything rather than us pay and wait to get reimbursed. We dont get a say in where we can stop and room for the night or things like that. If we were making our own arrangements, we would be able to but since we aren't its not up to us. I tried looking at some of the airlines the Army uses, ie Delta, but saw no specific details as far as carry on liquids or amounts or anything. Since we are on a waitlist for on post housing, I was trying to establish some sort of general time frame so I know how much to pack clothes wise for my kids.
Sorry for any confusion, I should have clarified a bit better. I do appreciate your feedback though! Thanks!! :)

Hey, welcome to Hawaii, ok? You know, you gonna be fine, you gonna love it here Hawaii, sound like you come to Oahu, and that very good place to live, here some help for you, maybe set you mind at ease, ok? You gonna love beach, ocean and layback style of Hawaii, yeah?
Fly with kids: No problem, little one gonna be ok, just plan ahead for formula, TSA gonna let you bring some powder formula, and airline furnish you with bottle water for baby, and they heat it too, if you want, ok, so no problem there. Cannot depend that TSA will let you bring more than 4 ounces of liquid, but, each kid can bring up to 4 ounces too, ok? So divide up you formula, put in kid backpack, and that help out, ok? Also, bring some snacks for kids, cause airline food stinky, yeah? Here what I suggest, you gonna be come in warm weather, sound like, so dress alla kid light, with carry on jacket/hoodie cause sometime get cold on airplane, and back pack or roll around carry on for each kid as carry on, with snack, some game for each kid, and for 3 year old, coloring book, if they like that sort thing, something new kid not have before, ok? Now you got 9 and 8 year old, make them responsible for 3 year old, they do good job, cause they troopers, yeah? Make sure you check in luggage, but also in backpack they have change of undies, and maybe one change cloths, also, you carry all meds you need for all kids in you purse, ok? Put you own needed stuff in 8 and 9 year old back pack, cause they carry you stuff too, make it easier for you, yeah? Make sure 8 and 9 year old have all info they need to help you, they gonna be great help, ok? Now, you gonna need diapers, and wipes for baby, that ok, alla airline gonna have backup wipes, just make sure you have plenty wipes, ok? If you got game boy, or ipod or whateva for older kids to do while waiting, and try best you can to make just few layover, cause time weigh heavy on kids, yeah? Remember 4 ounces or less, put everything in clear baggie, and not too many thing in baggie, so lotta baggies, cause TSA like to see stuff in bags, yeah? And leave alla sharp object in check in bags, ok? Good idea to have drill, and dry run, hey you inna military, you know bout that, yeah?
Carseat stroller, no problem you just check it at door of plane when you get on, just make sure you have all stuff that you carry in stroller separate in bag or back pack, cause airline frown on lotta junk in stroller they check, ok? Anything like playpen in own bag can be checked long as it don't exceed weight, but in coach you gotta pay for extra bags, ok? Now, you gonna need help when you go to airport, so get someone to take you and help you with check in bags, get boarding passes ahead of time online, then check bags at curbside, that way you can go direct to security, yeah?
Try to arrange flite so that few deplane as possible, here just a suggest, fly outa Nashville, Tenn, take Southwest, non stop to Las Vegas, you can arrive Vegas at bout 4:30, before you leave tell airline you gonna need skycap to take you, kids, and luggage to Hawaiian at Terminal 2, They have non-stop at 6:15, to Honolulu, you arrive by 9:30 local time, now kids probly sleep most of way from Vegas, maybe you too, but you make it with minimum of down time, also, traveler aid VERY big in Vegas, specially for mom and kids of service personnel, in case you have trouble, Skycap take you and alla kid and luggage so no problem with that cause SWA not too swift at transfer of luggage, ok?, Hawaiian very kind to kids, and include pretty good(hey I say good not great, ok) meal at no extra cost, ok? Also have great service mans discount, too, yeah? Now you can do same thing on otha airline thru San Francisco, LA, or Seattle, but this I know work, cause did it myself, but that up to you, ok?
Schools, well you know we hear all kinda thing bout school here, but you know that most important part of kid education what happen at home, and you sound like kinda mommy that make sure kid get good stuff for education, ok? Hawaii spend a lotta money on school system, but you know all state rite now kinda have budget problems, so same hea Hawaii, but some great schools and great school teacher here too, so you be suprised, kids gonna do fine, ok?
Base housing, well I hear all kinda story bout that, but here the thing, you gonna get good house cause alla base housing I see here pretty nice, and you should have something within 1 month, in meantime, you can get nice place to stay off base, live out of suitcase, etc, you done before, cause you Army Wife, yeah? Hey, pretty soon, alla kid be talk just like me, YEAH? I just kid, I just old fat guy who too lazy to do anything otha than rite like I talk, ok? You gonna need famous kapaakid fried rice recipe, keep eye on YA, I give it again, you gonna love, ok?
Go army, and Peace and aloha to you from Hawaii!
