Newborn Care Supplies

[junior503]

What are all the newborn care supplies that would be good to have on hand before baby arrives? I know I should have cotton balls and rubbing alcohol. Also, what is the best way to organized those supplies in a dresser. Does anyone know of a good caddy type product?

Thanks!

I just had Logan about two weeks ago, and haven't used any cotton balls or rubbing alcohol. My ped said not to use alcohol on the cord and it will heal up quicker. Logan's cord fell off at 9 days, which was quick. As for cotton balls, I bought some for cleaning his eyes, but am just using the corner of the soft washcloth. I have the Diaper Depot, they have 2 versions, the kind that hangs on the changing table and the set on the dresser kind. It organizes okay, just wish there were more slots for stuff. I got the Diaper Depot at BRU.
