Prepare for a New Baby - Stock the nursery and kitchen with baby-care basics including bottles, nipples, diapers and wipes, as well as a digital ear thermometer, nasal aspirator, baby nail clippers and diaper cream.
Organize that tiny, adorable wardrobe by size. Stackable, sliding plastic drawers are great for different sizes and types of clothes.
Prepare for a New Baby
Ask friends with young children for recommendations on what to borrow versus what to buy. You'll be dropping some big bucks on your little bundle--strategic clothing and equipment loans can give significant financial relief. Decide what to buy and what to borrow. You might purchase a new camera or camcorder, a stroller or "baby's first year" album, but look out for friends and family who items their kids have grown out of. Borrow a car seat, a crib and clothing for newborns.
Get ready to rock and roll--with baby. If you didn't receive an infant carrier, stroller and car seat at the baby shower, now's the time to research different brands and pick up what you need.
Crawl around on the floor to see what needs baby proofing.
There's a good reason why you were given nine plus months to get
ready: Not only does having a new baby mean decorating a nursery
and buying equipment, it also means preparing for a new life to join
yours seamlessly. - by eHow
