Links for My Baby List

*my link for the printable wasn't functioning, sorry for that.  I will try my best to get it going!

These are links to what I use myself, or close to what I have.  Some of the things I have for Baby, I've had them since we planned for Evelyn, back in 2010.  I was happy to see that many of those products are still the same, just with new colors; lets me know I did my research right and found proper products for my baby.
We plan for baby on a student budget.  Much of what we buy is the cheaper of things.  The more expensive items that we have, we had saved for, we were gifted them, or we found them on Craigslist.

Sleeping

• 1-full size crib, white Jenny Lind crib, my Craigslist find
• 1-crib mattress, can find many here, we actually have two, one we have from Evelyn and one that came with our Craigslist find
• 1-crib wedge, buying this one, helps keep away acid reflux which runs in Tom's family
• 4-crib fitted sheets, simple and white
• 4-waterproof mattress pads, so useful, I've seen parents layer these with the sheets for easy and quick clean ups at night
• 1-mesh bumper, safest
• 2-crib rail covers, get these or diy these, I say two because when you wash one, you want to be able to put another immediately, that's why our crib has teeth marks, because she was washing the cover
• 1-half size travel crib, this is the current color, we use it as a bassinet and for day trips to relatives' homes
• 3-fleece fitted travel crib sheets, be sure they are fleece, babies hate cold mattresses and it took us awhile to learn that's why they wouldn't sleep well. I made my own (will show later)
• 4-swaddles, don't have these but they are so cute, just found these, cheaper versions of aden + anais, made by them, I have a few muslin given to me
• 4-sleeper sacks, for winter, for summer
• 1-night light of some kind, like this, or this kind, or even this
• 1-baby monitor, low tech or high tech, you just need to hear the baby

On the Go

• 1-infant carseat, this is what we have in a different color, I checked crash ratings and consumer reports, and found this at the top of just about every list
• 1-carseat cover, find this for just the shipping
• 1-piddle pad, this can be such a life saver on trips
• 1-back seat mirror, this one has a light, but I also have this plain one from Evelyn
• 1-seat protector (for the car), one of the best investments for your vehicle
• 1-jogging stroller, closest to what I have, my actual jogging stroller is a find, literally, no money, I'll post on that later.
• 1-light stroller blanket, receiving blankets are best for this, sometimes they just need a little more
• 1-stroller bunting (for cold, cold days), cheaper than you think
• 2-infant sling/wrap, can find these for just the shipping, or make your own
• 1-backpack or mei tai carrier, bought or homemade
• 1-diaper bag, newest version of mine, I love mine (gifted), this is my alternate (much cheaper)
• 1-travel nursing pillow, I got the green one on sale, the only way I'd buy it, when we were trying for Raven.  So glad I did, since it's what I took to the hospital to save space.
• 1-travel changing pad, mine isn't made anymore, it's fancier, but you only need it to be simple
• 1-travel wipes container, this way you can reuse and take what you need
• anti-bacterial hand wipes, use them on shopping carts, restaurant high chair, toilets, everything
• 1-shopping cart cover, so baby doesn't chew on the cart
• snacks (for baby and Mama), HEB favorite for baby, sweet and healthy for Mama!
• water for Mama, just got the pink one!
• 2-nursing covers, find these for just shipping or buy or diy this
• 2-toys for baby, this doesn't take much space, this makes noise, just don't take it to church or a funeral, Raven loves them both

Bath Time

• 1-infant tub sponge insert, can set inside sink
• baby wash, use the sleepy time
• baby lotion or baby oil, ditto on the sleepy time
• 3-hooded towels, covers this and the next
• 3-washcloths, can use for cleaning babies gums also
• 1-rubber duckie, or any rubber bath toy, it helps baby feel happy and calm at bath time, in turn, helping you

Diapering

• diapers, our go to or go a little greener
• wipes, our go to or these, if you do cloth (or even just washcloths)
• diaper ointment/cream, the usual or search for cloth safe creams
• 1-wipes warmer, for our home, proven to be a necessity for first months of life to keep the peace
• changing spot (could be a table, dresser, or bed), I have a changing table but as the kid gets older, changing spot is all over
• 2-baskets (hold diapering supplies), these give you a place for every thing and extras, have one with changing spot and another in the living to keep you from running back and forth, useful when you have more than one.
• 1-5 liter trash can w/lid and oder eliminating trash bags, a bit much, but this is what I'll be getting 3rd time around, and don't forget these!  We had a Diaper Genie for the first two, but the plastic absorbs the smell, eventually, and it's so big that it stinks up the room before it's full.
• 1-changing pad (if using table or dresser), simple and contoured
• 3-changing covers (if have changing pad), one in use, one in the wash, one in the diaper station
• 3-waterproof changing pad liners (either way), you want to protect whatever you change baby on

Other Things

• 1-baby indoor swing, don't think you have the space?  Check out this one!
• 1-pack n' play, not what I have, but since I got mine at a used baby store, I don't have the extras and I looks like this.  Surprisingly, cheaper than I thought, but, still got mine cheaper.
• 1-baby seat, not a need at all, but when I was pregnant with Evelyn, I wanted it.  I bought mine at a hometown store downtown, one I had seen a long time and was determined I would get it when I'd become a mother.  It was all sentiment for me, and totally not a need.
• 2-teethers, simple or not (don't have this but look how cute!)
• 1-album/baby book (to record baby events), this, or if you're LDS, or if you just want photos
• numbers of family and friend that will help keep you sane
• 1-humidifier, haven't used it yet but I should
• baby toothbrush, the one I'm using on Raven (#2) and these for Evelyn (#1)
• teething gel, this is what we used with Raven, just don't get it mixed up with Neosporin, we didn't ever do that, but they look very similar when you have it in a first aid kit.
• health kit, we have an older one of this, ours didn't come with the mitt or spay bottle
• thermometer, for the ear, I think this is the newest version of ours.  We bought ours when we were about to have Evelyn in 2010, still works perfectly.
• baby Tylenol, sometimes babies just hurt, this can help them sleep better if their teeth are bothering them, or anything else.  We used this as a last resort when we couldn't get Raven to sleep while teething, it helped the house sleep for sure.

Clothes 
(don't take off tags until they wear it)

• 3-infant caps, we never used them, my kids over heated too easily, but we still bought them, just incase.
• 5-newborn creep n’ crawls with snaps, so you won't have to undress baby to change her
• 1-package of newborn socks, buy plain, then add designs on bottom with puffy paints
• 1-newborn church clothes, dress or onesie button up with slack look a likes
• newborn mittens, newborns don't mind them, they chew their fingers through it, pack extra in the diaper bag because their hands get too cold from their saliva.
• 6- 0-3 months outfits
• 2- 0-3 months church clothes, they can use this size longer, that's why I doubled it.
• 6- 3-6 months outfits
• 2- 3-6 months church clothes
• 9- 6-9 months outfits
• 3- 6-9 months church clothes
• 1-jacket (size will depend on season)
• 1-coat (size will depend on season), cute!
• 6-pairs, shoe socks (variety of sizes), for pretty little girls, bigger girls and handsome boys, bigger boys, I used these for church and when we went out for them to dress up more

Feeding

• 1-nipple shield, life saver!
• nipple cream, apply liberally, it's not harmful to baby
• breast pads, washable or disposable, I prefer washables
• 1-automatic breast pump, I had been gifted this and bought need tubes
• 1-pump holder bra, I am getting one this time around!
• 1-feeding pillow and cover, this just makes it so much easier on your back
• 1-nursing necklace, I have a grey one. They help keep baby occupied as they get more curious about the world around them, when you nurse.
• 3-bottles, I used these for Raven, these for Evelyn, though they were different then, and I prefer the Avent.
• 1-bottle cleaner or dishwasher container, want, don't forget these, and if you use the dishwasher
• 1-drying rack/mat (if you hand wash), this is the one I want, but this works too
• 1-rocker, glider, or favorite seat, I bought my pink one on Craigslist, but this one is closest to it
• 1-lumbar pillow, this is for comfort when feeding, had to show off what my mother in law gave me, or use this if you sit on a bed or couch
• 1-neck pillow, again, for comfort for the middle of the night feedings
• 1-high chair, I have a younger version of this I bought at a used baby shop
• 4-baby bowls and spoons, I like colorful, dishwasher friendly, and stackable
• 4-bibs, just get a pack *update! Took a trip, and used these!  So much better, especially when traveling, than cloth!

Several things I have, I bought them used, or I had them handed down.  I'm fine doing that with a stroller or high chair, but I would never do that with a car seat.  Never buy a used car seat.  You don't know what it's been through, and even if you know those giving it to you well, it's best not to take the chance.  You don't want to get into a wreak and always wonder if it'd have been better if you had a new car seat instead.

When buying used things, check the joints, corners, check the plastic for stress marks, check the metal for rust and/or dents, and always wash what you can before using it.

When buying for baby, think safety first.  Don't just buy something because it's a fad or because you think it'd look cool in your living room.

Did I leave anything out?  Remember, I've only had girls, tell me what would be added to the list for a baby boy.

Hope y'all enjoyed this very long list of everything for Baby!

Like to hear from y'all soon!
