12 Things Not To Buy For A Newborn
When a new parent holds their newborn for the first time, they are in a state of semi-consciousness. Just by staring at that little face will make you forget about the nasty world. However, with this newborn tags along things you need to start thinking of with a brave front. New parents have the tendency of purchasing a lot of things for their little one. You should know that this is totally unnecessary.
The realistic point of view is this - in a few months after the birth of your child, these things needed for a baby will be of no use. Therefore, borrowing it from a friend or from a cousin or sibling who just had a baby will be helpful to you.
8 THINGS TO HAVE IN YOUR NURSING NEST
Here are some of the things you don't need for a newborn baby.
Diaper Bag
This is the first thing not to invest in if you have a newborn. Buying yourself a diaper bag is not necessary. Make use of your old bag to stuff in the baby products.
Changing Table
Changing tables are expensive. You can ultimately use your bed by applying soft sheets or blankets before placing your baby on it.
The Cosy Crib
Cribs to are one of the things not to buy a newborn. You can borrow a crib from the neighbours or from someone in the family.
Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals are generally not safe to be around newborns as it can suffocate them. However, you can borrow one or two stuffed toys from your relatives instead of purchasing these expensive toys.
Even The Fluffy Blankets
Do not go in for fluffy blankets. New blankets are generally rough and will not suit the baby's soft skin. This is one of the other things not to buy for a newborn.
Little Booties
Newborns cannot walk so there is no point in buying your little one a pair of shoes. Instead knit your bundle of joy a pair of soft shoes.
A Stroller
Strollers too are of no point investing in. Strollers can be borrowed or hired.
Clothes Too!
Your newborn needs to wear clothes that are soft and which will not hurt their tender skin. Borrowing a family baby's clothes is apt.
Baby Bath Tub
One of the main things not to buy for a newborn is a baby bath tub. To give your baby a bath, place him or her on your thighs and gently pour water to cleanse the little one.
Swaddle Sacks
Swaddle sacks are quite expensive. Instead, hold your baby in your arms and give him some warmth and love.
Baby Food Maker
A baby food maker is not at necessary. Once your baby begins to consume solid food, use the help of a spoon to smash the solid ingredients to paste.
Baby Monitor
This fancy gadget is not at all necessary. All you have to do is shift the crib to your room to keep a constant eye on the bundle of joy.
