First time parents do not have any idea on what to prepare for the upcoming arrival of the newborn baby. They might stock up on too much diapers or too much rock star baby clothes and may end up with a big hole on their family\’s budget. As first time parents, it is expected that you would be excited about getting baby\’s things. But before you get all worked up in buying baby\’s clothes and necessities, take note of what and why you should have:

1. Baby clothes for Warm and Cold months. It is important to buy baby clothes that will be good for both cold and warm months. Choose clothes for warm months that are mostly cotton in material. They are easy to wash and dry. Stains also are easier to get them off from cotton materials. Clothes that are good for the cold months should also be comfortable for baby. Do not get clothes are too thick or furry. The fur could irritate his nasal passages and could cause allergies. Stock up on clothes for cold months that can be layered. In addition, stocking up on baby clothes might be aided by cool baby gifts from your parents and friends.

2. Bonnets and Mittens. Bonnets, caps and mittens are important for the baby. They have immature temperature regulation systems and draft air could easily make them cold. Their scalp also needs protection from the cold as they contain many nerve endings, what with the thin patch of hair that are still growing. Mittens are also important not just to protect his hands from the cold, but also to prevent his long nails from scratching his face or any part of the body.

3. Socks and Shoes. Socks both for cold and warm months are a necessity. Socks are not just protection from the cold but also for protection of the baby\’s feet against the friction in wearing the shoes. Shoes need not explaining. Sooner or later your child will learn how to walk and it is vital that you have something to use when the time comes.

4. Towels and Flannel Cloth Swaddling. To bathe the baby is one of the many enjoyable things when the baby is already at home. A couple of towels made of cotton or soft materials is advisable in order to avoid hurting the baby\’s skin. The flannel cloth is used for swaddling the baby, as well as for wiping spit ups during burping as well as protect your clothes from the stains of the spit ups and milk formulas.

5. Formula Bottles. If you are planning on continuing your work at a later time after the baby comes, you should buy a couple of feeding bottles for the baby. Enough should be on hand to facilitate proper cleaning and sterilization of the bottles. This will not only avoid illness, it will also be easier to care for the baby in not having to wash a bottle every time he needs feeding.

If you can afford to buy at least one baby carrier, it is also good to have one. Some baby carriers have built in rockers so that they can be put atop a wide table and have him rock to sleep.
