Utensils

Must comply with international safety standards. For example, the bottles and pacifiers used must be absolutely non-toxic, including the materials used, printing ink, etc. And you should choose products that are designed to comply with ergonomic principles and are absolutely safe.

The clothes should be soft and sweat-absorbent. The fabric should be pure cotton without fluorescent agents. The colors should be soft and light. They should be easy to put on and take off and be as loose as possible.

In terms of food, you should choose products produced by reputable manufacturers. In the early days of the baby's life, it is best to breastfeed. Breast milk is rich in protein and various antibodies, making it the most suitable food for newborns.

There is no need to buy baby products too early, because the prices of baby products have always been relatively stable and will not fluctuate much with seasonal changes. However, the price of baby clothing fluctuates greatly with the changes of seasons. It is common to find baby clothes that are folded in half, and they are all famous brands. So if you come across one while shopping, don’t miss the opportunity. Happy Growth Maternity, Infant and Child Products reminds expectant mothers that you must first calculate the season of your due date and know what size you want to buy.

In terms of clothes

Generally don’t buy sizes that are too small. Children grow fast, so it’s better to wear something looser than something that won’t fit.

1. Baby underwear should be bought in one-piece clothes, such as butterfly shirts. Before the child can walk, it is best to buy both underwear and outerwear in one-piece clothes. The inside of the pants can be completely open, so that Changing diapers will be very convenient, which is especially important in winter. It is best to wear shoes and socks with the outer trousers, so that the trousers will not slide up when holding the child. This is a profound experience. Try not to buy underwear with embroidery on the underwear, because there are many threads on the back of the embroidery, which can easily irritate the baby's tender skin. It is best to remove the labels on clothes that are close-fitting before wearing them, otherwise the labels may easily irritate children's skin. It is best to wash newly bought underwear before putting it on your baby.

2. It is cheaper to buy commonly used baby products, such as diapers, in hypermarkets. Because hypermarkets often hold promotions.

3. Johnson & Johnson baby bath products are a good choice. Be sure to prepare a piece of baby soap first, because the body of a newborn baby is very soft and the neck is not yet hard. If you use shower gel when taking a bath, the shower gel will be very slippery, which is not conducive to holding the baby. Because soap is very hard, when using soap, do not rub the soap directly on the baby. Instead, rub the soap on your own hands first, and then rub the soap on the handle onto the baby.

4. In winter, I used Johnson & Johnson's Baby Care Lotion, but the effect was not ideal. When I applied it on the child's face, the child's face was still very dry. Some people say that the children's skin care products of Boyermian and Yumeijing are good.

5. Selection of soft wet wipes: It is recommended to use those without fragrance formula. Many brands of soft wipes have a too strong Pampers scent, but they are affordable. The eugenic ones do not contain fragrance, are thicker and larger, but are slightly more expensive. Pigeon's wipes are also fragrance-free and cheaper than Eugenics, but the soft wipes are small and thin. Johnson & Johnson's is scented and reasonably priced. Johnson & Johnson now also launches soft wipes with a fragrance-free formula. The price is only about one yuan more than the fragranced ones. I believe it is also a good choice.

6. I recommend a parenting magazine to everyone - "For Children". This magazine is published in Shanghai and edited by Modern Family Magazine. It is divided into two categories: 0~3 years old and 3~7 years old. Each copy costs 5 yuan. It is very affordable and the content is very relevant to real life.

7. About buying insurance for your children. A child's biggest insurance is actually his parents, so if you are financially able, you should consider your parents' insurance first. In addition, when buying insurance, you must first check whether the insurance type is suitable for you. Another point is to check the qualifications of the agent. After all, all matters related to the policy in the future will be coordinated through the agent. If you buy a policy today, you will receive it twice in the next three days. I wonder how you will feel when you receive a letter from your insurance company telling you that your agent has changed.

8. What preparations need to be made before the baby is born?

Bottles and pacifiers (bottle brushes and bottle clips),

Cribs (bedding),

Trolleys (preferably for lying down and sitting) , when there is only one person in the family to take care of the child and do housework, you can let the child lie in the stroller and place the stroller where you can see it),

Baby clothes ( Whether it is inner or outer clothing, it is best to be made of cotton. The criteria for purchasing the style is that it is convenient for changing diapers),

Baby bath products (bathtub, bath net, water thermometer, baby soap, etc.), < /p>

Towels and bath towels for babies (bath towels are used to wrap the baby after bathing and absorb the water from the baby. Do not use bath towels to rub directly on the baby, as it will hurt his tender skin) ,

Disposable diapers (pay attention to the size when purchasing),

Soft wipes (recommended to use fragrance-free formula),

Milk powder (you don’t need to buy a lot first, because There will definitely be many relatives and friends sending milk powder),

A cloak or blanket (useful for going out on cold or windy days),

A larger bag (Will be needed when you are discharged from the hospital or when you take your child out in the future),

Baby skin care products (moisturizing, sunscreen, and diaper protectors),

Cotton swabs (not ordinary cotton swabs, It is a small cotton swab specially designed for babies. The cotton swab handle is better made of paper, so it will not hurt the baby when used),

Alcohol cotton (before the umbilical cord of the newborn falls off and grows well, wash it every day Use alcohol cotton to disinfect after bathing),

Toys (toys suitable for newborns, such as rattles, wind chimes, etc.)

9. Items that are not necessary to buy: pregnancy devices and fetuses Listening device (you can hear your baby's fetal heartbeat during every physical examination), nasal aspirator (it cannot suck out the baby's snot at all, the baby's snot will fall out on its own, adults don't have to worry), medicine feeder (for children) There are droppers in the medicine) and breast pumps (unless there is too much milk to feed and the mammary glands need to be emptied. If there is no milk and a breast pump is used, the milk will be less. The baby's sucking should be used to stimulate the mammary glands to secrete milk) .
