baby backpack infantino image
IV
hello everyone, i am 18 weeks pregnant now. I went to IKEA today to see what would I need when the child is born. I must confess, I had no idea how to use half of the stuff available there for babies. I got really depressed. I didnt know what to buy and what not. I have never been around newborn babies, and here i am, a single mom with no clues. dont know how to handle them. Please give me the minimum list of the things I would need immediately after the child is born and until the child is 6 months. Also, please help me if there is something I need to be extra careful about.

well, your motherly instincts will kick in, unless u are taking medications or drugs. If you have money to spend i would get a baby harness (attaches to you so u can carry baby hands free with backpack like straps, i got mine from walmart by infantino for 30 bux, it is a LIFESAVER newborns like to be really close to you and held all the time, mine did atleast, sometimes the only way i could sleep was with my baby sleeping on my chest and my arms would be right there making sure she didnt roll off, im a light sleeper. I used the harness for her because i couldnt even get dishes done without her screaming to be held. id always rush to shower because she was crying. Nurses at the hospital will teach you how to swaddle your baby in a blanket and dont be shy to ask for tips. I did, because i had no clue either till i had my own, no one told me ANYTHING, I did LOTS of research online about EVERYTHING i could think of and still needed tips. heres what i do, i bought 3 packs of gerber plain white prefold cloth diapers and also 3 packs of birdseye flatfold. I fold the flatfold and use it as a diaper doubler cause shes a heavy wetter, DIAPER pins because they LOCK in place so they cant come undone and stab the baby. ordered them from amazon pack of 36 pins and i really dont need that many pins. I use VIVA paper towels for wipes and also i put them in the cloth diaper as a liner so when its a poopy diaper u just take the liner out for easy cleanup. I used winter fleece sleepers to keep her warm. Newborns can not hold their heads very well so u need to make sure she doesnt sleep with blankets or anywhere where she can suffocate. This is VERY important many babies die because of this neglect. So if u DO cosleep make sure u have a tight fitting sheet and that there is nothing plushy or cushiony nearby. the mattress should be firm and flat. if u cant get a bassinet i heard someone can use a dresser drawer as a bassinet so they dont roll out and onto the floor. i think some yoga mats are pretty firm and flat yet soft enough to provide more comfort than something cold and hard. u need a nose syringe bulb thing to suck snot out of the nose so they can breathe. be ready and have a bottle and formula just incase if breastfeeding doesnt work out. but keep in mind breastfeeding is way healthier and is a once in a lifetime thing that will boost her and keep her healthier throughout her entire life. I switched to burt bees tearless baby wash because i found out all the others had formaldehyde releasers, and my baby got cradlecap (eczema) i believe from that johnson crud which looks like scabs. also my baby had a weak trachea and u could hear noise when she breathes and i would get scarred because it seems like she had a hard time breathing took her to ER and said she would grow out of it and she has. but always call 911 if u think somethings not right. some babies have crying spells where they cry and turn blue cause they stop breathing. they poop every 2 hrs when newborns and eat every 2 hrs, they also need to get patted on the back to burp every 2 hrs because it will help prevent colic. Colic is like a gassy tummy that hurts, remember baby is new to everything and the world so any discomfort will make it cry. if u have extra money get some toys with lights and a mobil they love lights.Youtube has different cloth diaper folds to teach u, thats where i learned some techniques and then developed my own that suited her needs best. 12 diapers a day is expensive. i started solids at 6 months which is recomended by pediatrics because this is when they are able to digest 'solids' so u need baby spoons bibs and lots of washrags. burprags cause they spit up from time to time. a bouncer, a swing, and a johnny jump up are the best babysitters lol - also my baby i gave her a binky most of the time from 2months on because she would suck on it and it would make her throat muscles stronger since her windpipe flap was floppy. also it pacified her and relieved some stress from me so she wouldnt be pacified by me all the time. i needed LOTS of towels because i had so much milk for months when i was engorged leaking out everywhere i bought avent phillips reusable cloth nursing pads from amazon.com and also nursing tank tops for 5 dollars at walmart easy to take ur boob out and not be half naked trying to feed wherever u were baby gets hungry at the grocery store too. Kellymom.com is the best breastfeeding info site and so is dr.greene for different advice on things that may surprise u. such as green poop, for me the green poop was because at first ur milk u produce more foremilk than hindmilk and if baby gets to much foremilk it gives colic sometimes and also green poop. so i would express on a towel to get some of that foremilk out so baby would get more hindmilk and her poop would be more mustard like, sometimes it would be green tho, at 12weeks is when the hormone to produce well mixed milk. fenugreek tea increases supply. do not take aspirin it passes into ur milk and can cause reyes syndrome. at first u will have contractions when baby feeds on breasts but dont give up this is good for the both of u so ur uterus contracts quicker to its normal size. HAVE A BIRTHPLAN READY i wanted the belly button cord to be completely pulsed out till it was white, CORD BLOOD BANKING has healed 82-84 diseases. i could sit here and write a book lol. i'll keep this on watch incase if u want more information. my baby is 8months old and i had a normal birth no complications besides pain and she did not have any shots. especially hep. B shot that is ridiculous to give to a newborn who is developing brain (sorry but my baby will not be on the streets shootin up or havin sex as an infant so therefore the hep. b shot can either wait because of all the toxins or not get it at all), read the vaccine insert ask for it before u give baby anything in a needle. utube bill gates vaccines.

Anyone know any good ones? My baby is 4 1/2 months, 13lbs 9oz. Don't want the backpack carrier things..
Answer
I've have the Moby Wrap. I really like it. It can easily support my toddler. It is easy to wrap when you get the hang of it. I certainly recommend it.
