I remember that before I gave birth to my first child, I was holding my mobile phone to look at the various lists of maternity bags and newborn bags. Despite this, I still encountered many pitfalls, in order to provide more reference for new mothers. , purely personal experience, the poor can afford what they need.
Mom
1. Admission certificate
Medical card, medical insurance card, file card (pink), case file, maternal and child health handbook, maternity service sheet, Couple’s ID card, household register, bank card or cash;
2. Mother’s supplies
Disposable underwear
Pure cotton disposable underwear, no need The trouble with washing underwear. I have bought the Zichu and October crystal ones, and they are both quite good.
Diaper pads
Diaper pads are used during delivery in the hospital. They are needed when washing your vagina. When you get home, put them on the bed to prevent lochia from getting on the bed. If I don’t have enough, I use it as a cushion to change my baby’s diapers.
Knife paper
I was not prepared when I gave birth to my first child, so I thought of using the maternal sanitary napkins in the delivery bag. But after giving birth, the doctor suggested using sanitary napkins, saying that sanitary napkins are not breathable and sanitary napkins are better.
Clothes, hats, and fur slippers
Needless to say, you are weak after childbirth and afraid of the cold, so dress warmly. You can also prepare a large coat to put on when you leave the hospital. , to protect against cold and keep warm.
Toiletries: mild shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash cup
Throughout the entire pregnancy until confinement, the most uncomfortable thing for me was washing my hair. Oily hair needs to be washed every two days. Since I became pregnant, my hair has become oily faster, so I have been looking for a gentle shampoo that can control oil well.
Nenfu shampoo uses a variety of amino acid ingredients. Needless to say, it is mild. It is also from a German brand specializing in pregnancy and infants, and the ingredients added in it are also very safe. Use with caution if you are not pregnant. Element.
It uses edible grade folic acid + patented ingredient Tremella fuciformis (both patented moisturizing ingredients, the moisturizing and hydrating effect is hundreds of times that of hyaluronic acid), which not only has an efficient moisturizing effect, but also uses Fragrance-free design, pregnant mothers don’t have to worry about causing morning sickness!
And the oil control effect is quite good. For my hair, which gets oily quickly on the top of my head and has dry and frizzy hair at the ends, it has a repairing effect. It is very smooth after washing. I can hold 3~4 hairs in one wash. Oh my God, I have been using it during my pregnancy, and I haven’t changed it yet!
Breast pump, anti-overflow breast pads, milk storage bags
Those who have a lot of breast milk, improper feeding during the first pregnancy, cracked nipples, frequent mastitis, and frequent need to express milk, I can only use a breast pump.
If you have to go to work and want to store breast milk, you need a milk storage bag. Anti-overflow breast pads will be used in the initial stage, as the milk will accidentally overflow and wet the clothes, but they will not be needed later when the supply and demand are balanced.
Nursing clothes
Made of pure cotton, they should also be convenient for breastfeeding at any time. So it’s good to just buy nursing pajamas. Just buy pure cotton ones, which can be adjusted according to the local climate and mother. During the confinement period, you will experience puerperal fever, sweat a lot, and wear thick clothes that are very uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to change three sets of clothes a day.
Baby
Crib
Since I got this spliced ??bed, I have been in heaven. The baby no longer sleeps with us, and I feel very relaxed. Dare to relax and sleep. Got some good sleep back. If there is a next time, I will use this spliced ??bed in 3 months or earlier.
Toiletries
We particularly recommend Japanese Pigeon Peach Water and Australian Papaya Cream. When the baby's buttocks were red during confinement, I used this as a nappy cream to cure it. It was easy to use.
During the confinement period, it is best not to use wet wipes to wipe the baby's butt. I use "medical absorbent cotton" to gently wipe it.
Anti-scare sleeping bag
At first, I used a traditional square bag to be wrapped, but I found it inconvenient to open and tie the straps. Later, I found an "anti-scare sleeping bag" online. Jumping into a sleeping bag" kind of thing. The models for newborns aged 0-3 months are similar to the following: spring, summer and autumn and winter models are available. The zipper switch is very convenient.
Night light feeding lamp
During the confinement period, protect the baby’s eyes and keep the light dark. So don’t turn on our usual incandescent headlights. In ancient times, candles were lit, but today there are special night lights available.
Changing pads and diapers
are necessary because babies urinate frequently, so be careful with bedsheets and clothes.
Baby clothes
It is best to wear one-piece monk clothes for the first 6 months. Pure cotton ones are very comfortable and protect the tummy. 3-6 sets and washed frequently are enough.
A must-have bathtub
It is best to bring a reclining bath net and bath mat. When the baby doesn't know how to sit on the pot, he usually takes a bath lying down.
A stroller
is also a must. Choose one that can lie down and be used as a sunshade, and is stable and shock-proof. In the early stages of a baby’s brain, special attention is paid to shock-proofing to prevent “shaking”, so I rarely use it. Use a stroller to lull your baby to sleep to avoid being knocked unconscious. You can push it out to play later.
Crawling mat and bed bumper
After the baby can crawl at 6 months, the crawling mat and bed bumper will be necessary.
Baby's toys
A set of black and white cards and Montessori, recommended by my best friend. It is simple and practical, and the baby likes it very much.
