In anticipation of the baby, parents often wonder what they need to buy a little man. A list of things for a newborn will help you not to forget anything and spend your time and money rationally. The ideal time for pleasant shopping is traditionally considered the second trimester of pregnancy.

List of things for a newborn

The first thing that the expectant mother should collect is things for the baby in the hospital. This list usually includes:

• diapers of the first size;
• wet wipes;
• diaper cream;
• clothes for the baby: bonnets, undershirts, sliders;
• several diapers: disposable and cotton;

More things will be needed at home. To care for a child, you need to purchase a bath for bathing, a thermometer, a terry towel, a soft washcloth, cotton pads, baby soap and cream, powder, a comb. For walks you will need a stroller, and for sleeping a bed, a mattress, bed linen, oilcloth, a seasonal blanket.

If the child is bottle-fed, you will need bottles, nipples, a sterilizer, milk formula.

Before buying, it will be useful to study the range offered on the market, ratings and customer reviews. Based on feedback from real customers, we've ranked the best diapers, wet wipes, and formula.

The best diapers

Ideal diapers should not leak and reap. If the diaper lets moisture through, the size may be wrong and it is too big for the baby. If the diaper is tight, then it is small. Very often, diapers cause an allergic reaction due to the impregnation that manufacturers use. In this case, it is better to choose another brand.

It is good if the diaper has a moisture indicator, a pocket for loose stools on the back, soft and elastic elastic bands.
