2. Layette! All new parents seem to overdue this topic, we certainly did! Your newborn will need clothes, that is a given, but too much is just money being thrown away. You have no idea what size your baby is going to be, so it is a good idea to buy some preemie cloths. When buying a newborn size, do not worry if it is a little loose on your baby, he or she will grow into it. Most parents find a sky high pile of laundry that has been untouched during the first few weeks of bring home baby; that is normal and perfectly fine! Ignore household chores, and enjoy your baby! So, with that in mind, buy enough cloths for you not to worry about doing laundry everyday! Again, just do not overdue it or you will have lots of clothes your baby quickly grew out of!

3. Feeding/Nursing! You have to come up with a feeding plan for your baby. Are you going to breastfeed? Bottle feed? Want soy or organic products? Fast flow nipples, slow flowing nipples? Need a breast pump for at home or at work (varies in price according to
4. Bath time! Although bathing babies is fun for you and for the baby, newborns do not always like the introduction to water. Be prepared for a screaming baby when giving him his first few baths. When giving your newborn a bath, keep all of the post bath items nearby. Also, remember that the umbilicord must be kept clean and dry until it falls off. Therefore, it is not necessary to bath your baby until after the cord detaches (sponge baths are best, if anything).

Nail clippers (threw that in there because if your baby is mellow during bath, it is a good time to clip if needed; if not, try when they are asleep) 5. Burp cloths and blankets. Burp cloths were very important in our house. We had a spitter-upper; we went through several burp cloths daily. Its always a good idea to purchase some, even if you do not use them for burping or for catching vomit. Burp cloths can also be used as a blanket. And blankets, we all know what they are used for. Even in the summer, they are needed!
