When looking for a change table make sure it's a good height so you're not straining your back.

I personally prefer the Braun Thermometer. The inferred one I had was pretty accurate but overtime became less accurate. And my kids have never been phased with the Thermometer in their ears.

This pack is very useful
Baby Grooming - Nail Clippers & more
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
I personally prefer clippers but I have clipped 2 out of my 3 kids finger and it's so sad! So I bought these but I find them to be much more time consuming but less anxious.

Bumps.andbubs profile picture
My kids weren't pacifier baby's but I still bought a pair in case I would need to use it. Point is, don't have too many unless you know your baby will use them.
Soothers and Dummies

Personally I prefer glass bottles as they are more hygienic and have longevity especially if it's your first baby.
Baby Bottles
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
Clean bottles before putting them in the Steamer.
Baby Bottle Brushes
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
This is not really an essential as you can just boil water, place it in a large mug and place the bottle in the mug... And alternative to save some money.
Bottle Warmers
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
This is necessary to keep baby's bottles separate from the dishes.
Bottle Drying Rack
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
This is also good to have to sterilise your breast pump stuff, alternatively you can boil water and sterilise everything in a big bowl after washing it.

If you purchase a baby bath, I would highly reccomend purhasing the stand for it or alternatively you can place it on the bench.
Baby Bathing
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
Hooded towels are a must. Keep their little head warm after bath time. These can be purchased from numerous stores
Hooded Baby Towels
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
A definite must! I place it on my baby's belly during bath time and just before I get him out I clean his face then his bum area.

Bumps.andbubs profile picture
Definitely be careful when buying these products. Avoid anything with food as baby can grow and intolerance to it later and/or have a reaction. Personally I dont use soap on my newborn and dont often use it now (he's 8months)

The plastic are much easier to clean than fabric... unless the fabric mat is a reasonable size to fit in the washing machine.
Tummy Time Mats – Safe & Soft
 
Bumps.andbubs profile picture
Personally I prefer a glinder over a rocker, recliner, tall back for my head to rest on and an Ottoman. Look for comfort as you might spend a few nights in it.
