To Help You Through The Maze Of Mom And Baby Goodies

This baby checklist collection has been put together to help you, the new mom, to navigate the sea of alluring baby products floating around out there.

Some are essential to ensure smooth sailing for you and your new baby, but there are many that you can do without, and still others that you should steer well clear of.

I know how it feels to be a new mom. Only the best will do for your special baby, and you don't want to deprive him or her, by not buying all the great baby products on offer. They all seem so useful.

But...

I can promise you, after four babies, I know for sure that there are some 'brilliant' baby items that you will barely use, despite what the marketing companies tell you.

On the other hand, you don't want to bring baby home, only to realize that you don't have everything you should. Trips to the 24 hour drugstore are common. New dads search for forgotten pacifiers, bottles and diapers, while mom sits at home in a panic.

Bottom line - be prepared, but smart. Make sure you have all the stuff you need, while steering clear of the fluff you don't.

• Your Baby Layette List
  
  
  This is a very comprehensive Layette List, divided into the following categories for your convenience:
  • Sleep Time
  • Bath Time
  • Changing Time
  • Feeding Time
  • Getting Dressed
  • Baby's Health
  • Play Time
  • Out and About
  
  Non-essential items have been marked with an asterisk*.
  
  Only items required within the first three months or so have been included on the list. (Therefore, items such as high chairs are excluded.)
  
  One of the decisions you will need to make before finalizing your layette list, is whether or not you intend to breastfeed your baby.
  
  Many new mothers seek information and reassurance about breastfeeding and the more you know before your baby arrives, the more confident you will be. loveyourbaby.com reaches out to mothers with the latest information about everything to do with breastfeeding.
