[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A helpful grandparent (didn’t happen for my second because of COVID), although she came for three weeks during month 3. Having an extra person for laundry, meals, holding the baby etc. is the best.

A good washing machine and dryer. So much laundry from poop and spit up.

A big supply of burp cloths if your baby spits up regularly.

For 8 weeks to 4.5 (?) months - the Snoo if you can rent/afford it. It really helps to stretch out sleep.

For nursing — nursing tanks, bamboo washable nursing pads, a big water bottle, nipple cream if needed, foods you can eat with one hand

For swaddles I really like the swaddle strap that lets their legs be free. We used that with a swaddle blanket for warmth. Tried lots of other swaddles with my first.

If you have a partner — a clear understanding that they will do 50%+ of the housework

Baby wearing — first 60 days Solly wrap. Older baby I liked the Beco Gemini.

Have a rectal thermometer and infant Tylenol on hand in case the baby gets a fever. Don’t give them the Tylenol unless the doctor says to do so, but you need to have it in case of an emergency. [/quote]

And Baby 411 as a reference guide. [/quote]
