Baby List Made Easy - 20 Things to Start your Journey

After months of being tired, sick and growing fat, you get a list of things to buy for your baby from the hospital where you will be giving birth.  It can be really expensive and confusing on what you need to buy especially if you are short on cash.

Going for second round in having a baby, i realise i don't need all the things listed in those baby books and hospital list.

I have come up with practical list of things one really needs:

Nappy rash cream - so many different product on the market, the best one i find is curash nappy rash cream, 

Powder - curash baby powder because it got the zinc oxide which heals the skin

Baby clothes - try not to buy too many newborn clothes, your tiny angel will grow in size so quickly, go for 000 instead of 0000

Baby face wash towels

Lot of white baby towels if you can afford it, because when you can home, there will be lots of nappy change times and if have enough towels you will not stress about the laundry.

Please do not buy bassinet's or change table if money is an issue, your baby can do without it. A new born can sleep straight away in his or her cot.  I change my baby on the couch in the spare room on a big white towel while i sit on one of those Ikea small chairs for children. And it seems to be working so far so good.

Another thing you definitely do not need is car capsule, you can buy a car seat which seat a baby from birth, which will save you money, to be use on other more important things for baby

Olive oil to moisture's baby skin is better than other oils for the baby.

A box of nappies and baby wipes for baby when you come home.

The rest will come you to when you settle in and get into your routine.

Babies don't need much, a clean baby is a happy baby.......
