I need to know what furniture, clothing, and other necessities to properly bring home my newborn baby.


Answer
You'll find a lot of people recommend things that are nice to have but not necessary. Obviously you need clothes, diapers, wipes, soap/shampoo, car seat, baby nail clippers, and feeding supplies.

Nursing pillows are nice, but any pillow can prop your arm/baby up. Bouncers can help, but didn't work for my son. A crib will eventually be necessary, but a lot of babies are happiest sleeping with Mom or in the car seat for the first few months. Changing tables are easier on your back, but I change my 7 week old on a changing mat that came with my diaper bag. Baby bathtubs are a good idea, but many babies have been bathed in the sink. Diaper warmers are a waste of money.

If you're breastfeeding, a pump can give you some freedom. A swing saved my sanity with both my children. A thermometer can relieve middle of the night worries (ear thermometers work better on older children. A newbon's ear canal is too small for an acurate reading). Along those lines, mylincon drops for gas and baby Tylenol or Motrin (don't wait until you need it). A dresser (you have to put the clothes somewhere), but a cheap rubbermaid set of drawers from Wal-Mart lasted my son for a while. Rattles and other toys will become necessary, but for the first little bit your face will be their favorite thing to look at (along with lights, ceiling fans, and large high contrast objects like furniture and the tv). A sling or some type of baby carrier is a good idea(I have a backpack and a sling and prefer the sling). I don't use my stroller very often, but I'm glad I have it. A baby monitor is necessary if your home is large, but can be useful in a small apartment too (it helps me to be able to relax and not rush my shower). My kids didn't care about a crib mobile at first, but as their vision improved they did like it more. You will need a diaper pail, but at first (until they start solid food) the diapers don't smell too bad and can be thrown in a regular trash can. Many hospitals will give you a free diaper bag (I got 2 with my son). As they grow books will always be a necessity.

Any suggestions on a baby carriet for a 2 yr. old who is almost 30 pounds?

I have a Moby Wrap which I used from about 1 month old until he was 10 months (once he started walk) I have used it a couple of more times but seems to be uncomfortable for both of us. While I travel by bus from time to time (no strollers allowed to be open) and he won't sit still for long periods, I would live something that is comfortable for both of us.


Answer
Maybe the Toddler Baby Hawk. I have one, but my 3 yr old is 30 pounds and he is getting a bit big to carry. I carry on my back, still comfortably. The next stage up is an actual backpacking style carrier.
