Public Comments

1. um go to dollar tree and get some things
2. Family dollar have really cheap baby clothing, diapers, bibs, pacifiers, and bottles.
3. carseat it REALLY helps to have a stroller, travel systems are a good deal that include a stroller AND carseat basic clothing like onesies [since its summer] bottles [if you plan to formula feed] diapers wipes a swing helps alot but isnt NEEDED, but if you can get one, get one a basinette, he/she wont need a crib for a couple of months after birth blankets some sort of baby bathtub, its alot safer than just putting the baby straight into the sink or tub scratch mittens you can also get on wic if you qualify [since you said you were tight on money], its fairly easy to get on. Just call your county health department and make an appointment, they will tell you what to bring. You get formula [if your formula feeding], milk, cheese, eggs, juice, and more items if your breast feeding. good luck! =]
4. crib, bedding, clothes, wipes, diapers, baby bath tub, lotion, baby wash, towels, bottles, bottle scrubber, pacifier, blankets, diaper bag, socks, there are bigger items like walkers and things like that.
5. parent choice diapers from walmart parent choice bottles from walmart about 6 of them burp rags and bibs about 5 a day depending on when you wash clothes 14 footie jamies 10 onesises pack of socks couple pairs of comfy pants a playpen with cradle on top look at walmart of target for a cheap one for about 70 i got mine at target with monkeys its brown and green and really cute get a carseat and stroller get graco they are they best walmart or target have cheap sets for about 120 or less a couple blankets baby bath tub about 20 at walmart diaper bag baby wipes or make your own from a recipe on the internet with water and baby shampoo only make enough for the day or they will get mildewy a baby swing or bouncer bottle of shampoo cheap kind thats about all
6. Try ebay and craigs list and 2nd hand stores. If you go to once upon a child the stuff is cheap but for them to buy it it has to be in good condition Crib (you dont need a bassinet, just put her straight in crib) (portable/mini cribs are cheaper) Car seat (NEWW! ask your doctor or social worker resources for getting fre or cheap one, there have alot of programs here, you take a class pay 20$ and get a brand new one) Stroller (it is nice to have), depending on your lifestyle you might really need one Play-pen (good for travel, and you can use it instead of a crib) Diaper bag( or just use a book bag) Bottles ( it is way cheaper to breastfeed) Blankets Bath tub ( it will be hard to bath her in a sink) crib Mattress waterproof matress pads are nice to have, but you dont have it. you wont have to change sheets EVERYTIME Fitted Crib Sheets Bouncy Seat and swings are great to have, you only need one or the other if moneys really tight, they have alot at OUAC and criags list booster seat when they start solids (or a high chair, but booster seats are cheaper) Activity Mat are good for them learning Onesies (ALOT) Footed Sleepers (ALOT) Hats Cotton Shirts Washcloths Hooded TowelsBaby Wash Baby Lotion Diaper Rash Cream Brush and Comb Thermometer Infant Nail Clippers Emory Board Nasal Aspirator Baby health care kit Medication Measurer Dreft (or other baby laundry detergent) Diapers Wipes (unscented) Wipes Travel Container Nipples Bottle Brush Pacifiers (3-4) Burp Cloths (cloth diapers work great) Bibs teething rings Breast Pump Nipple Ointment Breast Pads Boppy or a nursing pillow Baby Sling (great to have so you can get stuff done) Safety Items (cupboard latches; outlet covers; carbon monoxide detector; safety gates; etc.)
