For the trip home from hospital (and out and about):
~

~
~ Diaper bag (have my heart set on the diaper bag by Oi Oi)
For the nursery needs:
~ Crib, bassinet (and sheets)
~ Swaddling blankets
~ Clothes: five side-snap T-shirts, five one-piece bodysuits, five sleepers or sleep sacks, three pairs of socks, and a couple of hats.
~ Changing table or pad
~ Diapers: Two jumbo packs of the newborn-sized disposable diapers should do the trick for the first week
~ Wipes/cotton balls
~ Diaper cream and lotion
~ Night light
For bath time
~
~ Baby wash and shampoo
~ Baby washcloths
~ Hooded baby towels
~ Baby comb (to prevent cradle cap)

~ Bath toys
For meal time (breastfeeding or bottle feeding):
~ Burp cloths
~ Breast pump and accessories

For the medicine chest:
~ Baby digital rectal thermometer
~ Infant acetaminophen
~ Fingernail scissors, clippers, or emery boards
And here are the things on David's list:

Great job !!! Will definitely be your No.1 follower <3
Eh, No. 1 follower, why are you not on my list? :P
Great blog, Viv! Looking forward to more updates :)
You have a very organised shopping list. Think about adding Yu Ee oil and Gripe Water (good to use a little every day to prevent wind), also cloth diapers (useful as burp cloth, wiping baby, etc.).
How about a baby monitor?
Have fun shopping!!
Hi Jo Ann,
Thanks for visiting and thanks for your suggestions :)
I had to google Yu Ee Oil (can you believe that I've never heard of it!). Is it used to prevent colic?
Yeah..Gripe water...forgot about that. My mum used to store a bottle in the fridge for my sister, but my brother and I used to steal swigs from the bottle! i don't mind buying it for myself!
As for baby monitor, we've looked at a few. There are a few Digital Video Baby Monitor with Color LCD Screen out there. I do not know what make is reliable. Is the video monitor necessary? Or should I just stick to the conventional audio monitor? What do you have for Lucas?
Cloth diapers I feel is a good idea too. A friend of mine uses them for her baby and just like you, she uses them as a burp cloth, light blanket, wiping baby etc. I've seen a few sold that are colourful with pretty designs. Maybe another trip to the store is due...
