I've used quite a few for various reasons! Lately because he had some eye gunk and I use a warm cloth to wipe his eyes.</p> <p>Agree with burp cloths of some kind, nipple cream, breast pads and nursing tanks!! </p> <p>We had a ton of NB diapers and they didn't fit!! But you have plenty of size 1 in case u need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379480 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:39:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 379480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More wipes!!!!<br /> I know it's been said seriously-more wipes:)<br /> Hope you enjoyed your shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379459 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:33:29 +0000 Bao 379459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More wipes for sure, babies poop a TON in the beginning...I think we went through 2 packs a week for the first few weeks. She pooped every time I changed her! Breast pads and good nursing bras, night time nursing bras or tanks. Sleep gowns were a godsend at night because I was so tired I couldn't deal with those frustrating snaps, especially when baby would stiffen up or kick like crazy. Maybe some gas drops? Baby lotion? Did you buy a baby or memory book? I was so glad I already had one so i could fill it in as things happened because you forget sooner than you think. I know it's not a necessity but its really nice to have. You have a pretty good list going! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379453 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:33:02 +0000 Mrs Checkers 379453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might need some nail clippers. These worked the best for us:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Dr-Nail-Clipper/dp/B00394W4R6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1352143953&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=summer+infant+nail+clipper" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Dr-Nail-Clipper/dp/B00394W4R6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1352143953&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=summer+infant+nail+clipper</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379452 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:32:57 +0000 Mrsbells 379452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nose frida in case your baby needs blow their nose<br /> Also the fisher price rock and play sleeper is awesome. I really recommend Cerave body wash its great for sensitive baby skin</p> <p>@zippylef: we also have the Whale of tub by fisher price </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379442 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:31:41 +0000 Mrs Checkers 379442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: Excellent! You may not need them, but definitely a must-have "just in case." They can also be a life-saver if your baby just wants to suck but s/he isn't hungry. Save your nipples! Our pediatrician's entire office actually recommended pacis (I was shocked, I had always wanted to stay away).</p> <p>G'luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379440 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:31:07 +0000 boiledpnut 379440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely agree that you should get some more wipes.

I use cheap cloth diapers. We have 18 and I go thru a few a day. I like to have them handy during feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379082 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:23:28 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 379082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - nipple cream &amp; nursing bras/tanks if you're breastfeeding! I'd get more pacifiers, I like to have one stashed in a bunch of places.<br /> We got a First Years sure comfort tub &amp; it's alright. It gets the job done. Also, we have a changing pad with a vinyl cover &amp; ended up never using the plush cover. DS peed/pooped on it so often that its easier to keep the cover off &amp; wipe it down when it's messy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-379053 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:12:28 +0000 Weagle 379053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get more wipes... you can never have too many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-essentials#post-378983 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:46:44 +0000 loveisstrange 378983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nipple cream and breast pads!
