When you're approaching your due date, you'll need to buy the following items in advance:
1. Crib and bedding: Newborns need plenty of space and hygiene to sleep. Prepare a crib, mattress and some bedding like quilt, sheets and pillows.
2. Baby Clothing: Newborns change clothes frequently after birth, so prepare some weather-appropriate onesies, pajamas, socks and hats for your baby.
3. Bottles and nipples: If you plan to feed your baby with formula milk, then you need to buy some bottles and nipples to feed your baby and make sure they are clean.
4. Diapers and wipes: Make sure your baby has enough diapers and wipes for every diaper change. You can buy a small batch of diapers and wipes ahead of time to test your baby's allergies or discomfort with certain diapers and wipes before you buy them in bulk.
5. Baby care items: These include thermometers, nail clippers, and bath tubs. Thermometer can be used to check your baby's temperature, while nail clippers & bath tubs can make it easier for you to care for your baby.
The above mother and baby supplies are the most basic needs.

To-birth kit list:
Adults:
Dietary: Red Bull, Chocolate
If you are planning to have a normal delivery, you can prepare some Red Bull and Chocolate to replenish your physical strength before delivery. If you have a c-section, you need to prepare some elbow straws in case you can't get up to drink water after delivery, you don't really need much, I got out of bed the next day after I returned to the ward after my c-section.
Personal use: maternity pads, breast pumps, disposable underwear, sanitary napkins
Sanitary napkins choose the ordinary lengthening night is enough, do not go to buy the kind of oversized postnatal sanitary napkins, metered sanitary napkins, knife paper, these are really very chicken ribs, don't ask me how to know, who uses who knows.
Toiletries: slippers, washbasin, towels, paper towels, wet wipes, toothbrushes, cups, drying racks and other supplies
The hospital only provides a kettle, and a daily change of uniforms, and other supplies need to bring their own clothes to wear a set of maternity, with a set of hospital wear can be (long-sleeved pants, a thin jacket, hats and scarves, etc.).
There are a lot of tissues and pads. During and after the birth, because of water breakage, blood and secretions are easy to dirty mattresses, it is necessary to use the mattress pads, you can prepare three to four packs (a pack of 10 tablets), I brought to the hospital is two packs, not enough to use, the hospital also sells them, the price is more expensive than the ones you buy, the urgent need to have not taken into account these. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the work you're doing, and then you'll have to pay for the work you're doing.
Postpartum supplies: anti-pregnancy pads, breast milk storage bags, electric breast pumps, lower body rinser
Can be prepared, anti-pregnancy pads have been used a few times, breast milk storage bags basically have not been used, there is no extra milk, haha, to say, a little bit sorry for the baby.
The electric breast pump must be prepared, and the quality should be over the top. When I gave birth to Sugar, I was worried about infection from the amniotic fluid she inhaled because it was difficult to deliver and I had a high fever, so I sent her to the pediatric care unit to stay in an incubator as soon as she was born. The first day after the birth of the first night of the milk, swollen, the critical moment, the electric breast pump power supply is bad, bought back when it is good, to use the time, the power supply is broken, the nurse has been urged to use my hands to squeeze, I can not get down, the nurse can not stand it, come up to the hard to give me a rub to squeeze, the pain, pain want to curse.
Baby supplies:
Changing clothes: monk clothes
Monk clothes are more convenient, I was born in July, you can prepare 52 yards and 59 yards of the spring and fall of the thin section, but also to prepare some a little thicker, some people will feel that the child is cold, haha. These two yards of clothing do not have to prepare too much, the child is growing fast, wear three or four months is not appropriate.
Wrapped quilt, small socks, small hats
Socks and hats to see what we need, I am directly wrapped up in a quilt, no socks, hot weather, long hair, did not give her a hat, in the air-conditioned room for fear of catching a cold, you can prepare a top
Bath towel, bathing towel, wash face towel
Suggested to buy gauze material, breathable and relatively soft.
Disposable cotton towels

Thermostatic thermostat kettle
This is highly recommended, the powdered milk is particularly convenient, even if you don't take to the hospital. Later, when you are discharged from the hospital, it is especially good to have a spare at home. The best thing is to bring a cup of water specifically to dry the cool water for backup.
Special baby basin two, laundry detergent, shower gel, talcum powder, hip cream, diapers NB, diaper pads
Diapers do not need to prepare too much, the child grows fast, soon to change the number of yards. Jingdong Tmall order to buy is also very convenient and fast, activities can be stocked up a little more, to the larger size to stock up Oh, I just every time to stock up more, with the time small.
Diaper pads, buy disposable on the good, convenient and practical, before buying the kind of washable, not breathable, with a rash.

Belly button sticker
Some people will prepare the belly button sticker, that is, the umbilical cord has not fallen, stick on the bath waterproof, I was not used, it is said that the belly button sticker sticky better, tear down when adults feel the baby will be very painful, haha.
