What are the essential that I need for baby? I think I'm starting to bug out like I don't have it…

things you will absolutely need..... diapers wipes blankets clothes. bottles if you plan to use them

and sleeping place.

t

Diapers, wipes, clothes, booties, mittens, hats, blankets, bath stuff (towels, rags, body wash/shampoo/conditioner), lotion, diaper rash cream, at least 3 bottles, grooming kit (nail clipper, brush, comb, little nail files, nasal aspirator, etc.), thermometer, infant medicine and medicine syringe, and a bath tub if you find it necessary

@raerae95, I got that.

@raegenice, I don't have booties, many socks, mittens , or hats. I don't have rash cream or medicine 😔 I feel bad. I wish I could still be working.

@aheggs3, then honestly you'll be fine. grooming kids are nice to have along with the bath stuff. but u really don't need to much else. lol im at kids number three and I change him where needed and he sleeps where he wants

Mittens, socks, onsies, bottles for all stages(Dr Brown has a gift set for $100) hats, boxes of diapers all stages(newborn-1pack, 1month & up-2 boxes each), 1 big ass box of wipes(go to BJ's or Costco) Stroller(with the carseat), the baby holder thing, rockin chair, baby tub, pack & play(the crib alternative) I can go on & on...Ima FTM and my fiancé and I bought everything we needed ourselves and the baby isn't here yet

@aheggs3, don't worry over the hats and mittens momma, they're just for the beginning after your little one is here. And rash cream and medicine is a precaution. You still have time to get certain things. But so long as you have everything else you should be fine.

@raerae95, I'm a first time mom and hours away from family so I just want to have enough

@kartia_diamond, I brought all the big stuff. Now I'm just trying to get the little stuff together

@raegenice, thank you I'll double check to make sure

It's no problem, you got this 😊 I'm a ftm too and I'm nervous as hell lol

I Went To Babies R Us For Everything!! Lol Just Walk Through The Aisles, If You Don't Have It Get It Lol I Bought Carseat Covers For No Reason But I Know It Will Come In Handy Cuz I Don't Want People Touching Or Even Breathing On My Baby Lol

@raegenice, I'm getting nervous as time get closer ... @kartia_diamond I only have bill money now that I'm out of work

Oh Wow, They Don't Give Maternity Leave? I Actually Moved To Another State And Got On P.A Just Becuz Im Super Independent And Hate Not Having My Own Becuz Im Unable To Work But As Soon As This Baby Is Born Im Goin Back To Work In My Career Field. There's No Shame Is Assistance, But Before Nobody Could Tell Me To Even Go For FS. But As A New Mom I'll Do Whatever It Takes For My Unborn, By Any Means Necessary...

@kartia_diamond, I wasn't there long enough to receive it. My doctor put me on bed rest. I get food stamps and WIC.

Ohhhh Damn, So You Don't Have A Full Case Open, Just Foodstamp...That Even Helps Becuz You Can Save Money...Oddly Enough I Just Saved My Taxes And Watever Money I Got From Financial Aid...My P.A I Barely Use

@kartia_diamond, I can't file taxes. I tried to save my refund but we moved and that's where my refund went. My mama and dad said they'll help. So far they've given me and my fiancé one of their cars since our broke down. But what's P.A?

Ohh Ok, Thats Good That You Are Gettin Help From Your Family...Public Assistance

@kartia_diamond, How does that work?

It's Cash And Food Stamps, And Once You Start Working You Can Stop The Cash And Only Get Stamps

I might have to look into that @kartia_diamond

Yea, It Helps Alot

A crib/place to sleep, stroller, car seat, diapers and wipes, clothes. You really don't need as much as people say, I mean you can make very minimal amounts of things work if you have to.
