Buying Guide to a New Mommy

Being is new mom is exciting, but at the same time it can be overwhelming and exhausting if things just don't go as planned. You are meeting your baby for the first time, and nothing goes as planned. However getting ready early always helps and is of course better than not being prepared at all. I did put down the list of baby items , but there are some essentials for moms too,  and I have listed them below. In any case ENJOY all you can, as everyday pass by and they grow up too fast.

1. breastpump - Get your free one from the insurance company
2. Wirefree Nursing Bra - feel free to do your own research on what kind you like, but definitely all cotton and wirefree is the way to go.
3. Lanisoh nipple cream - This is a must for all nursing moms.
4. Cranberry Juice - Stock up on these, and this will help with probable UTI.
5. Hydration bottle - Fill with water all day/night
6. Pain management medicine - you will get some when you leave the doctors office after baby birth, but have some in handy for all other pains that may come along
7. Loose fit cotton pyjamas

Nice to haves

1. Nursing pads - These come as washable and none washable ones, pick per you convenience. It also depends on how much 
2. Rocking Chair - This is really handy for mommy to use it when nursing, taking a relaxing nap or can also be used by daddy to rock baby to sleep :)

The first buying guide to a New Baby

Every baby is special, and every parent wants to get ready to meet their baby in all special ways they can. Getting ready with all the essentials for a new born, as well as for the mom is something that new parents plan for a long time. Making the list, doing a lot of research and buying them is an exciting process. However, it can sometimes be overwhelming when the list gets longer with multiple options, we all know how many options a single item has now a day...thanks to the online shopping experience. 

I have put together the list of must haves as well as nice to haves to make your shopping exciting. Feel free to modify and use it for your baby's arrival shopping, by adding your own touch in your own special way. You can also create your baby registry using this shopping guide.

Happy Shopping!!

Navya means New and she adds a new meaning to our life

I have been out for a while, but promise to be back regularly from now on. It was a wonderful experience and will keep sharing my thoughts to all the readers. Our second daughter arrived on November 18, 2012 and has been such a blessing for us.

Sharing some of her pictures, and with her growing up I have more to share.
