Babies need lots of hugs, kisses and smiles - and just a few other things. At home, you ll need to have these items ready. Your baby will need several T-shirts, sleepers, receiving blankets, pairs of socks and a warm hat. Your friends and family may have baby clothes they no longer need. If you buy clothes, get the 6-month size.
Babies grow really fast.
If you plan to breastfeed, get nursing bras and pads. These special bras open in front to make it easier to breastfeed. The maternity store can help you find the right size. If you plan to bottle-feed, get bottles, nipples and formula. Decide if you want to use disposable or cloth diapers.
