The newborn essentials every parent needs<\/h2>\n

When looking for newborn must-haves, you\u2019ll find that many items for your baby or nursery room come down to personal preference. Even so, there are some necessities that you should have ready when your newborn comes home from the hospital.<\/p>\n

A crib<\/h3>\n

A place for your baby to sleep is a must, even if you plan on sharing the family bed at times. If you\u2019re not sure what setup you\u2019d like for your baby, a bassinet cradle or co-sleeper (three-sided crib) is suitable for the first months. Cribs typically don\u2019t come with mattresses, so be sure to add one that is fire retardant to your list. While older or secondhand cribs can work, it\u2019s important to ensure they are up to current safety standards. For instance, slats should never be further than six centimeters apart.<\/p>\n

If you do go the crib route, then it\u2019s advisable to use a waterproof mattress pad and cover it with crib sheets. Similarly, waterproof pads known as sheet savers fit directly on top of fitted sheets. Whichever option you go with, you\u2019ll still have to buy:<\/p>\n
