So you have a child ...
Congratulations! Once you get through the "Wow, I'm going to be a mother / father", "Can I do it?" to "Ok, I'm ready!" It should be your next thought: "What do I need?" Because some lists give you terrible, that you will be turning your head. As a mother of two small children, I suggest you just say, not so much like lists, and certainly not all at once. I have my list, divided into age categories: 0-3MOS (what youshould be at hand when the baby comes home), 3-6-6mos 12mos e. A word of advice: Your child does not care if she wears the ONSI cost $ 5 or $ 50 to save money and put it in the direction of the important things, such as tuition fees!
0-3 months
Requirements:
- The space for the baby to sleep: bassinette crib, cardboard (kidding), etc.
- 10 Receiving blankets - for baby diapers or cleaning spit out
- Onsies 5-10 - good for the bottom layer in winter, or even layer in hotDay
- Thresholds of 5-10
- Nail clippers and hair brush
- Baby soap / shampoo
- Wipes
- Diapers and wipes
- Car Seats
- Bulb syringe
- Diaper Rash Cream
- Thermometer
- Bottle / Formula / Breast (depending on your choice)
- Meet bunting for cold days (if necessary)
Nice to have:
- Diaper Bag
- Baby soap
- Other clothing
- Baby Monitor
- Strollers
- Baby Sling
- Play Pen
- Change Table / Dresser
- RockingChair
- Bath
- Toys, etc.

TIP - Put anything on your wish list and you do not buy it!
3-6 mos
- Clothing plus (if the child is raised)
- Chair
- The safety elements (gate baby, roofing, etc.)
- Age-appropriate toys and books
- Bibs (many starting numbers)
- Baby spoon

- Jolly Jumper
6-12 mos

See? Not bad if you want to get through the first list? If you have a couple of months before the baby comes early and just buy a couple of things when you run out on you quickly.
