Whoo what a fun thread lol!


Well things you can NEVER do without...diapers! You may think she had enough at the shower but NO! You can buy bigger sizes like 3's 4's and even up to 5's and believe me they will come in handy! Another thing are diaper genie refills. Tons of diaper rash ointment. A bath thermometer, music, a glider (oh man do I wish I would have got a glider at my shower!) a bigger careseat like toddler size.


Clothes too! We thought you had a lot of clothes when we had Dylan but you soon find out you don't. You change them abour 6 times a day so the more outfits you have the better. Bigger outfits are always a plus that way they don't have to worry too much when the baby gets bigger.

Nipples on bottles if she is to bottle feed! We lost ours so many times it was ridiculos! I breastfed Dylan til he was 4 months than I went back to work and he was on the bottle/nipple, then I breastfed him again at 6 months and ended for good around 9 months, although he still trys to nuse accasionaly.

A baby wipes warmer. They warm up the diaper wipes so the baby isn't shocked with a very cold wipey on her butt!



But what I totally can't live without and always buy over and over and over again are wipes, diapers, sippy cups/bottles when they are younger, diaper genie refills and TONS of food lol. Dylan has a very big apetite.


One thing we found very useful was a power strip cover. If they have a computer this is a must have safety item. Also they need to use different types of outlet plugs besides the round push in kind because there has been a few deaths in infants who has choked on them. If you haven't noticed they fit perfectly in the mouth, are round and very easy to pull out. We use a special kind that you have to take off the old face plate cover and screw in a new one, which can only be opened by pushing in push sides really hard...and beleive me it's a pain, but worse the saefty of my child. A baby gate for the kitchen/bedroom/bathroom. Ours are completely gated off. Lots of sock too...you always lose them especially when they get to the stage where they can take them off themselves, lol.

If it happens to be a boy they should invest in a pair of goggles....boys can shoot PRETTY far!

Oh yes and a camcorder and tons of film!!!!!
