Signs. Should they pay attention to them?

There is an opinion that you can not buy any things for the baby until it comes to light. For modern women, this belief seems ridiculous, because we plan a lot of things in advance and everything happens in most cases according to plan. Why can not you think in advance about the comfort of your most dear little man? Why can not you, without fuss, enjoy the choice of things for the baby?

Doctors claim that this sign was relevant many years ago, when there was no modern medical equipment. Now things are very different, and there is no sense in believing the various signs, because:

• The youngest babies are nursed without much difficulty.
• 99% of pathologies are easily determined even before the birth of the child during examination by an ultrasound machine.
• Modern mothers are more consciously approaching pregnancy, doing everything possible and impossible, so that the baby is born healthy.

Important! Nobody, except native moms and dads, will be able to create more comfortable living conditions for their baby. The children's room must be fully prepared for the reception of the new tenant. Trust in common sense and prepare all necessary things yourself for the birth of a little son or daughter.

If you buy pajamas with the sleeves familiar to all, then it is worth buying a pair of mitten-not-frills.
• 5 or 6 pieces of sliders. Children's feces can be quite liquid and in the first days often flows out of the diaper. In order not to create problems with a much needed hourly washing and accelerated drying of panties, take them for future use. But keep in mind that even from things you need a newborn, in addition to the sliders and again, adhere to rationality.
• Socks in the amount of 2 pairs. Thermoregulation in infants is not yet fully developed, so babies often freeze. Or vice versa, in the hospital often it is very hot, so the kids completely undress, leaving only socks. In any case, socks are useful to you.

• Diapers. It is worth buying two or three flannel and calico diapers. They will be needed for the changing table, to cover the baby or for more comfortable holding on the handles. Such things are necessary for the newborn. Many babies up to 2 years of intense sweat - and with heat and cold. To ensure that the process of feeding does not cause unpleasant sensations due to literally adhering to your skin moist sweating baby, diapers will be useful.
• Diapers of the smallest size. For starters, you will have enough small packs, and then you can always ask your father or grandmother to bring you more. The smallest pack should be taken, based on the fact that for the skin of the baby, and for you, the products of one brand will seem very comfortable and comfortable, and the other - absolutely not.
• Feeding bottle. There are cases when breastfeeding for some reason is impossible in the first days after birth. Take the bottle with you to the hospital, just in case. She does not take much space.

Important! All things a newborn should be as sterile as possible. Clothes and films should be washed and ironed after buying on both sides, and the bottle should be sterilized.
