When the moment approaches, parents-to-be are looking for information on what is needed for the hospital and home for the baby and mom. We help you complete the perfect layette for a newborn and choose what you need most. It's worth focusing on joy and conscious parenting.

Who would have thought that two lines could change so much? A period of disbelief, uncertainty and excitement at the beginning is followed by... another period of disbelief, uncertainty and excitement. And it will probably stay that way for a long time.

When the belly grows to accommodate an ever-growing baby, moms also begin to feel the urge to sort out reality. Maternal nesting begins, that is, preparing a home space for the baby. Sometimes the nesting stage leads to a general renovation of the house, sometimes it ends with a move, and most often it boils down to finding a place for a crib and stocking up on the most necessary accessories for the little one. Just what does the little one really need? Besides mom, dad and their unconditional love?

It's worth preparing so that you don't get carried away with the shopping frenzy and, among the hundreds of products available on the market, choose those that will really come in handy. A layette list and a review of proven products for the baby will come in handy. And that's what we want to help you with - without disbelief and uncertainty, instead with a fair amount of excitement!

#1 Toddler Corner

The arrival of a little man on the home board is no small revolution. A lot changes, including the look of the space. But before parents start tearing down or building walls, repainting them in pastels, hanging cute garlands and plush letters of the toddler's name, it's worth considering whether it's really necessary for him? More than showy wallpaper, the toddler needs his own corner - with a place to sleep, change and first scouts.

Depending on your preference and space availability, you can choose a crib, or an extra bed for the parents, and for the first months a Moses basket or cradle.

Other than that, a dresser with a changing table or a portable or overbed changing table will come in handy. In maintaining relative order will help an organizer, which will accommodate the most frequently used cosmetics or diapers - such as organizer with handle from Skip Hop (it is additionally equipped with a lamp that emits a soft light - just in time for nighttime interventions!).

The baby's corner must not lack a cover for the youngest member of the family. In the beginning, a cone will be indispensable, which will wrap a baby accustomed to being cramped. Later a quilt or blanket will come in handy. It is worth paying attention to the composition - the best for a newborn will be natural linen, cotton or bamboo fabrics.

The corner is worth slightly illuminating, so that it is easier to feed or change the baby at night. Although over time, parents will probably do this with their eyes closed.

The first few days of the little one will probably be spent at home - soaked in the smell of the baby and that amazing aura that can only be found in the home of young parents. Quite soon, however, you will dream to go for a walk and show the little man the world, and the world - his.

Whether traveling by car or walking with a stroller, it is worth remembering comfort and safety. Basic travel equipment is, of course, a car seat and stroller. Sometimes, however, a donkey prefers mommy's arms more than a spring-loaded gondola, and that's when a sling for carrying a newborn comes in handy. However, there are accessories that will work no matter what vehicle the behemoth will travel in - including a bag or backpack for baby accessories, a portable changing mat, a pacifier pendant or a blanket.

#3 Hygiene and care

Caring for a newborn is not limited to feeding and cuddling. Daily care for a toddler also includes grooming activities - changing diapers, moisturizing skin, bathing, trimming nails or brushing. And although at first it may seem that there is not enough daylight for all the hygienic operations with the toddler, they will quite quickly get into the parents' blood. Fortunately, there are accessories that make life easier for caregivers and will make the care of the baby not only safe, but also pleasant.

For bathing the baby, a bath tub or a bath bucket will come in handy, or - especially when traveling or going away - an insert that will turn any basin into a comfortable tub for the little one. After bathing, it is good to wrap the bobo in a soft towel, preferably with a hood. For grooming the head a brush with soft bristles will be suitable, and for trimming the nails special rounded scissors or tiny pliers. It's worth stocking your home medicine cabinet with natural bath gel and cream for the baby's pits. Let's also not forget about oral hygiene - even if there are no teeth in it yet, you can get the baby accustomed to the toothbrush, which often also has a bite function.

#4 Useful gadgets and accessories

On the bumpy road of parenthood, sometimes help can come in handy. Not in the form of hundreds of tips that young parents didn't ask for, not in the form of stories of "in my day we didn't do it that way..." or "it worked for me...". Parents sometimes need a moment, a moment, a moment of peace. Sometimes such moments are hard to come by.

Then with help come gadgets and accessories created to make parenting a little easier, and make the first moments of the little one at home magical. Not all of them will work for your little one, because, as we all know - every little one is completely unique. Nevertheless, practical and functional accessories can assist you in the daily care of the baby, in hygiene, feeding or sleeping.

#6 Gifts for a toddler

A new person in the world is a special thing. No wonder loved ones want to see and smell the baby (the smell of a newborn is amazing!). And when they come to visit they want to give the baby boar something.

Newborn babies, as a rule, do not have exorbitant gift requirements and great needs (you know, cuddling and milk are enough). Nevertheless, there are gifts that are sure to work and will be appreciated both by the baby and its parents. Stylish and functional gifts reign supreme, supporting the development of the toddler and facilitating parental everyday life.

It is a good idea to give, for example, a book or a scrapbook, which parents can complete by inscribing, for example, the toddler's first word, the title of a beloved cradle or the name of a beloved toy. Contrast books will work as the first reading, the decor of the baby's room will be diversified by a spatial hanger, and the playground for the baby can be an activity mat. Sensory toys, music boxes with soft sounds, natural teethers, or good quality covers - blankets or wrap.

It's worth asking newlywed parents what they already have, so that our gift will be useful and unique.

#7 What to take with you to the hospital

When the belly grows and the pregnancy clock begins to approach the stroke of zero hour, it's time to pack a hospital bag. With it, the mother gains peace of mind, dictated by the conviction that she is ready. Ready for childbirth, ready for the earthquake that the appearance of the baby brings with it, and ready to begin the extraordinary adventure called motherhood. Packing a bag is a kind of ritual, for many moms liberating and relieving - because it means that the time of pregnancy is coming to an end, and there is really not much left until the moment of seeing the baby.

What should go in your hospital bag? A few must-haves and a few things that will make the hospital reality a little more pleasant. It's worth remembering that even when labor starts unexpectedly and on the run we simply forget about the bag - we can manage. After all, in order for the baby to come into the world - only a pregnant mother is necessary.

What is worth remembering when packing a bag? The basics are mom's ID, pregnancy card and the results of the most important tests. For the delivery, mom will need a comfortable shirt (preferably unbuttoned, so that after delivery the newborn can be placed on mom's breast), water to drink, postpartum sleepers and special underwear. You can additionally equip yourself with refreshers in the form of thermal water for your face, lipstick for your lips (which may be dry from breathing) or a CD of music you want to listen to during labor. After delivery, a standard hospital supply package will come in handy - comfortable clothes (such as nightgowns that allow breastfeeding), flip-flops, a bathrobe, a cosmetic essential, towels, cutlery and a cup. In addition, nursing bras, breast pads, pads, postpartum pads, and disinfectant and anti-inflammatory for intimate ailments (preferably in a bottle with an atomizer) will be useful.

The baby will need clothes (it's best to pack them in sets - bodysuits and shorts or rompers, plus socks and possibly gloves, so-called "non-scratchers"). It is worth remembering that, as a rule, the baby is dressed in clothes available in the ward, and your own clothes may be useful only "for going out".

Other than that, diapers, wet wipes, bottom cream and changing pad will be useful.

It is not worth exaggerating the number of things so that the hospital bag is not too heavy. However, if there is room in it - you can pack some treats for the mother (favorite chocolate - just in time to recover from childbirth!) and something to make your stay in the hospital more pleasant - a book, your favorite tea, anything that will make you feel better.
