Whether you plan to be in and out of hospital as quickly as possible after the birth of your baby, or are staying put for a few days, you are going to need some essentials. Check out our great hospital bag checklist.
I was 11 weeks pregnant when I first started experiencing pain in my right butt cheek – I know, of all places! It became a serious pain in the butt (pun intended).
What exactly do you need in those early days? This first baby checklist is a great way to see what you may or may not need on the arrival of your little one.Walk into a baby store as a mum-to-be and you may find yourself wanting to curl up in a corner and hide – they can be pretty overwhelming places. Walls adorned with cots, highchairs, prams, monitors, play mats, change tables, bottles, slings, breast pumps, blankets, clothes, dummies…the list goes on, and on, and on. Once you decide on an item, you then have 20 different brands to choose from, all at different price ranges, and there are products you probably never knew existed. The best way to navigate it is with this great baby checklist.
The problem was, the list was endless and I had no idea where to draw the line. Some were easy – no alcohol, steer clear of saunas and no bungee jumping – but I also found there were some murky waters. With a few tweaks however, I found out how I could do the best for me and my little one.
