You're about to become a parent. Congratulations! Despite the excitement that comes with welcoming a new baby, there's also a lot of preparation and planning to get ready for this new and exciting stage in life. There's a lot to think about when it comes to the things and gears you'll need for your new baby. Figuring out what you need — and what you don't need — can be overwhelming. Trying to figure out what to buy and what to skip can use up a lot of time, and there's an even more significant challenge if you're a first-time parent. Figuring out what you need for that new little bundle of joy can be frustrating and confusing. So, we've put together this list of baby essentials to make it easier for first-time moms:

Baby Bottles

When choosing a baby bottle, you should look for BPA-free products. Bottles come in three basic shapes: tall and straight, bent at the neck to mimic a breast, or wide-shaped to accommodate wide nipples. Bottles also come in small (4 oz) or large (8 oz).

Crib or Bassinet

Whether you choose to use a crib or bassinet, there are many things to consider. It should be sturdy, up-to-date with safety standards, and comfortable. It is imperative never to use a crib or bassinet that has been recalled. You should check any used items thoroughly. There should also be at least 2 3/8 inches or less of space between slats of the cribs, helping ensure a baby's head will not get caught. Lead must not also be present in the paint used in the crib or bassinet.

Baby carrier or sling

You'll want some way of keeping your hands free while taking care of your little one. A baby carrier or sling is ideal for this purpose, so whether you want something that supports newborns up through toddlerhood or just something simple that will keep your hands free, make sure you get one before the baby comes home from the hospital. This is one item that will be in constant use!

Car seats

A car seat is a safety device for children that protects them from injury in case of an accident. A car seat does this by keeping a child strapped into place so they cannot move around as they can without one during the ride. This keeps them from becoming a projectile and hitting something hard or getting thrown around inside the vehicle itself. Also, the Car Seat Law will be implemented in the country, which aims to protect our babies from severe injuries or death in the event of car accidents.

Baby's toiletries

Baby toiletries are specially formulated to be gentle and mild enough to be used on babies (and even young children). While adults can use these products, they are created with babies in mind - keeping their sensitive skin in mind. Scents and fragrances should be mild. A product for a baby's skin should not smell strongly of anything. This also applies to dishwashing ingredients, laundry essentials, and cleansers for baby's things.
