@valerie I will be having a gender reveal party
Breast pads for sure. Maybe a manual pump just in case before you go buy an electric breast pump. If you do pump I suggest milk storage bags. Nipple balm is a life saver. Even breast heating/cool pads. Crib. I personally do like a changing table but it depends on your house layout. I usually put baby in a bassinet for the first couple months before I use the crib. Swaddles, hats, baby monitor. Receiving blankets, burp cloths (super multi purpose). Stroller, car seat, baby socks. Baby bathtub, soap, shampoo, lotion. Nail clippers, brush comb usually come in a set. Baby meds, thermometer. Not a necessity, but sometimes a rolling cart is nice. I’ve had one with all 3 babies. That way you can have everything organized and with you at all times. Look into what postpartum things they have at the hospital. See if you’d like to bring anything extra based on what they give you. Nursing shirts are nice to have. I always buy extra pads for when I come home because I usually bleed for 6 weeks.
Get the free emmas diary app really helpful on what you need, plus gives you 3 free bags of stuff
I recommend having a baby shower , guest usually bring everything you need and whatever they don’t get then you can go buy it. Breast-feeding moms. Definitely need breast pads because you will be leaking. You don’t want to mess up your clothes.
