Checklist for baby

So you know you are going to adopt a baby but have no idea of how to prepare for the new arrival. So lets say you also don't know if its a boy or a girl. Try this list on for size.

1. crib
2. Baby positioner pads/bumper (You know to keep them from rolling around on the bed)
3. diapers size N for newborn
4. Desitin cream for rash
5. Baby Shampoo - I would go with the Aveeno wash because their skin might be sensitive
6. Neutral color onesies - Green, Yellow, White
7. baby washcloths
8. Baby towels
9. Socks for newborn
10. Gowns for sleeping or sleep sacks
11. Baby laundry detergent like Drift
    
12. Baby tub - Maybe
13. Changing table - Maybe

I hope this list gets you started. Hey, check your consignment sales, thrift stores and Goodwill for some of these items. Most baby clothes are only used for a couple of months before you change the size so until you get to Age 2, gently used clothes are fair game. One other item to remember is to always wash used clothes in your baby laundry detergent before using. Again, if your baby has sensitive skin, they may react to the detergent used to clean the clothes. Best of luck.
