Читать книгу First-Time Parent: The honest guide to coping brilliantly and staying sane in your baby’s first year - Lucy Atkins - Страница 10

This is stuff you don’t have to get, but if you do it could make your life a hell of a lot easier:

 A baby monitor–this way you can hear your baby wherever you are in the house or garden. Basic models are fine.

 A bouncy sling-type chair to sit him safely in when he is awake

 A baby-carrying sling–good for fussy or colicky babies, or for just getting around when he’s small enough to be easily portable. My Baby Björn sling lasted through three babies and is now being used by a friend.

 A fleece or soft, thick rug to lie your baby on when he’s awake and needs to kick around a bit

 A wipe-down nappy-changing mat (or you can just use an old towel)

 A nappy bag (discuss whether you both really want the one with pink teddy logos) with travel changing mat. It doesn’t have to be a specific ‘nappy’ bag–you can use any bag at all, as long as it is big enough to fit:

→ Three or four nappies

→ A pack of wipes

→ A small, folding changing mat

→ A small pot of nappy-rash cream

→ A complete change of baby clothing

→ A toy or two, and maybe a book for you

→ A water bottle and maybe a snack for you

→ A baby-feeding bottle and small carton of formula if bottle-feeding

→ Your phone, wallet and keys
