Are You Prepared For When The Baby Comes?
Ask any woman who has had kids what they think is the most critical thing to have ready for your new baby and you are going to get a whole boatload of different answers. For some people then allowing your baby to sleep is critical because it is when they sleep that their body gets to grow, and babies do a lot of sleeping and growing, so for those people they would say a crib or bassinet is the first thing you need to buy.
Whereas other people might put the safety of their baby first and say that it is crucial you baby proof your house as much as you can. That involves buying things like blanks for your wall sockets and baby-proof locks for any cupboards they can get to, but you also need to go around and make sure any sharp corners are covered and nothing is reachable by your new baby.
Some others might say that preparing for your baby to get sick is the most important thing, because often they get sick in the middle of the night when you can’t just nip out and get what you need. So first off make sure you have your doctors number taped to the phone so you don’t have to root around for it, then get a baby thermometer so you can check for a temperature, and then a book on common ailments so you can quickly classify the symptoms and get advice on what to do next.
The truth is they are all important to have ready for when your baby comes, I don’t think there is any one thing which is more important than the rest.
