Diapers are the first thing that you should purchase. If you are not sure which ones to buy because there are just simply so many to choose from, then it is best for you to consult your doctor, as he or she can advise you on the best diaper there is in the market.
Money should not be an issue for you, because you are having a new baby, and the last thing you need is saving a few dollars and later having to put your baby through some ailment. Even though you may have good, or the best diapers, it is still safe to keep a doctor prescribed or approved diaper rash ointment. This is so that in the rare event that your baby experiences a rash on the bottom, you can apply this cream for instant relief.

Rather getting soft, high quality cotton wipes is the best option because they are very soft and friendly towards the baby’s sensitive skin. You can even make baby wipes at home, which can be very effective and useful.

A toy that every kid plays with. Buy a few of these as they can be very handy.

In addition to that sometimes it also affects a child’s speech; as such only let the baby play with it for limited periods of time.
