“Once upon a time…” that’s the very beginning of a tale, when a young couple eagerly awaits the arrival of their child. The images are there in the head, blueprints of that magic, first embrace. But how to readily prepare yourself for the much-expected new-born?
Here for you, future moms and dads, a practical manual to prepare yourself at best.
– LINEN
It is necessary to choose a line of cotton bodies, mixed among long and short sleeves, at least a ten to never run out since kids always get dirty. Bodies are preferable to cotton shirts, since they fully cover both the back and the belly. Dear neo-mothers, also add to your stock several pairs of shorts and some spongy pant to line the diapers.
Full body, made in light cotton or padded, the rompers are essential for the baby. Being one-piece, rompers are very useful, covering the belly, the feet and the back too. Rompers work as both comfy dresses for the day and pyjamas for the night. Purchase rompers that cover all the way to the feet to quicken and ease changing the diaper, since you won’t have to fully undress the baby.
– BIBS AND HATS
Don’t forget to pile up a stock of cotton or spongy bibs, they will really save the day during the first 24 months. The hats will be indispensable too in both winter and summer to protect the baby from the elements. You should also consider acquiring several pairs of mittens, to protect the baby’s hands from the cold and avoid unwanted cuts due to sharp nails.
– DIAPERS
Goes without saying, have we already mentioned the word “stock”? Many times a day, the baby will need to be changed. Pay attention to some relevant features, such as the softness, quality and measure.
– ACCESSORIES
They are important as well. Spongy towels, a soft brush of natural bristles for the bath, a comb and nail trimmers. Then again, soft bathrobes, more towels, sheets and blankets in cotton and wool.
– THE LUCKY SHIRT
The lucky shirt is a present that every expectant mommy will receive during the pregnancy as omen of good fortune! It is fundamental that the shirt is made in linen, silk or 100% cotton to avoid causing any potential irritation to the baby, being also soft and fresh. Correct usage of textiles is basic, always choose the best for perspiration and always wash any garment before use.
