Newborn essential - what to buy what not to
Im only 21 weeks, first time pregnant, but am already starting to browse thru and note down what needs to be bought for newborn and also for mummy. Can any experienced mummies help me look through my list and let me know if i missed out anything or if there is anything that is not needed. Thank you in advanced!
Hello! I’m ftm with 3 weeks old newborn, personally I didn’t buy the following and so far doing fine without them: - Pacifier (PD said not recommended before 1 month old as breastfeeding not well established yet) - Electric swinger / bouncer - White noise - Lactation massager (can simply do warm compress and massage by hand) “Nipple silver shield” is referring to Silverette? I highly recommend it, can heal sore nipples very fast. If you buy this then you don’t need nipple cream. You can consider adding baby thermometer and nasal aspirator to the list.
