First baby checklist...what did you discover you needed after the baby was born that wasn't on

[8isenough]

any of the new baby checklists you may have used? I have a list of about 10 things but am now drawing a blank. Thank you all.

Some days its a breeze and other days I have to wear a name tag so that I can look down and know who I am! :)
School is starting soon....am I a bad mama for wishing it to get here faster? :) Ah, but life is good.

Any suggestions for my list..anyone?

How can I search to find out if this was discussed somewhere already? Surely this isn't the first time this question has been asked.
Thanks again.

I know there have been similar posts to this one. The way you search for an older thread is to choose the search button from near the top of the page. I usually then choose the advanced search option because that allows me to choose the specific forum I want to search as opposed to all of them. I also choose the "and" option for the list of words I put in the search box rather than "or." I'm not sure that you'll find much using the word checklist. I'd probably try something like "baby item you needed" or something similar. Good luck!

Lansinoh, if the mom is planning on BF. It is now a part of my standard baby shower gift.

This may be TMI, but I would put maxi pads (super-duper huge ones!) on a list of things to get.

I would also make sure to have a big water bottle (esp. if the mom is planning to bf) and easy snacks (granola bars, etc).

I must be pretty selfish--I'm thinking of things for the mom, but not the baby, LOL! Oh, how about alcohol and swabs for cord stump care?
