Ano mga bagay na pinaka kailangan or magagamit ni baby?

[vain_kixie]

No bingis din for me kahit sabi ng nanay ko lagyan. Sabi ng pedia the area needs to be aired out so minsan nga tinataas ko yung clothes niya to air it out eh kung may bingkis yun lalo ng hindi ma aair out. Hindi rin outie si baby.

[beautycolada]

kami din hindi na nagbigkis sa dalawa namin anak kasi advice din ng pedia. true kailangan mahanginan yung pusod/cord para mas mabilis sya magheal, matuyo at eventually mag fall off. sa panganay ko 8 days yung bunso 6 days lang nagfall off na agad yung cord.

Alrightie, thanks mga sis..

[chubbycheeks]

Kakabili lang ng mom ko ng bigkis haha. Di pa namin ginagamit kasi i want na totally mag heal na yun navel. Nag fall off na yun cord a few days ago, just waiting na mawala na yun mucous. Ang laki ng tummy ni baby, takaw kasi.

[beautycolada]

congrats sis chubbycheeks linis linis nalang yan. ok lang matakaw basta healthy sila

I wish i bought muslin swaddling blankets instead of flanel receiving blankets...... how i wish i bought muslin ones in the states para hindi kailan 24/7 naka on ang aircon.

my eldest loved swaddling so much he couldn't sleep wihtout it, i bought the summer infant swaddle me blanket but it was a bit thick for our temp, kaya lagi rin kami naka aircon hehe Meron palang ibang type ng swaddle blankets, Pabili ako nito! Since must have for me ang swaddle Thanks sis!

my baby is 1 year old na and so far ito ang mga pinaka-nagamit niya:
- plastic bath tub - mahaba rin yung period na hindi pa siya nakaka-upo. So for that whole time, super useful 'yung plastic bathtub, yung parang may elevated na higaan for baby sa loob. even when she started sitting on her own, kasya pa siya sa loob nag-upgrade na kami sa batsa when she got a bit too big for it. hehe

- lampin (birds-eye type) - aside from the obvious use na pang-salo ng wiwi (hehe), we also used these for pamunas, pang-sapin, bib, pang-cover ng kung ano-ano. Hannggang ngayon, hindi parin namin tinatapon kahit naka modern-cloth diaper na kami, hindi na lampin. basta maayos lagi ang pag-laba and bilad sa araw.

- bottle sterilizer - my baby is exclusively fed with breastmilk. when i'm at work, we bottlefeed breastmilk so this one is very very useful.

- calmoseptine cream - from diaper rash to insect bites, etc. We use this and it's very effective. isang super liit na sachet and tagal maubos

- high chair - seriously. we started her on solids at 6 months (as recommended). we started to teach her to pick up small pieces food from the tray using her fingers and eat. sinusubuan from time to time to encourage her. all natural food siyempre, no junk foods like cerelac or gerber.  Now, we really eat as a family. hindi pa siya marunong ng spoon but she eats while we are eating the high chair we bought pwede matanggal ang tray para pwedeng booster chair. it think this high chair (ikea brand we bought from a local seller here) will last until the next baby pa. mura pa


hindi masyado nagamit:
walker (ayoko talaga, pinilit lang ni MIL)
bouncer (useful and nice, pero short time lang)
baby carrier (cheap type, very useful pero 1-2 month lang nagamit)

My daughter is 12 weeks na, heto ang mga useful things niya so far :

Plastic Bath Tub - dati hindi siya mahilig maligo, umiiyak. Nung nilagay namin siya sa bath tub, natututwa siya pag naka soak ang half body niya sa tubig. So hindi umiiyak at madaling paliguan.

Pillow, mattress at bolsters - binili ko siya naka pack, so pagnagpapabreastfeed ako, nakaunan ulo niya, kahit bottlefeeding dapat nakaunan. Yung bolsters niya naman useful pag natutulog siya, feeling niya may katabi siya kaya hindi umiiyak, also useful din ang bolsters pag nilalagay sa likod niya pag naka side lying position kami sa breastfeeding.

Lampin, Bibs - Pamunas, panlatag sa sala, o kaya pang lagay sa shoulders pag iba-burp siya.

Sterilizer - Super useful sa pag sterilize ng bottles nya, super convenient.

My baby is now 8 months...the truth is ang hirap magcurb ng shopping impulse para sa baby kasi lahat ng makita mo na baby stuff, you feel that you need it for baby but I was able to resist to buy some like yung mga pwede naman gawin the old fashioned way like sterilizer, babywipes warmer, diaper bin, etc. But so far these are the things that i think moms should without blinking buy for their babies:

Burp cloths para sa lungad and bibs para sa paglalaway lalo na pag nagngingipin si baby

Car seat - this is a non-negotiable... Safety is always a priority!

Baby probiotics drops and aceite de manzanilla - the colic busters and my sanity savers!

Baby bath tub- get one na may newborn seat that you can detach when baby can sit on her own. We got Stokke's flexibath.

Penatem or any zinc-based diaper/ rash cream - kahit may konting rash or redness sa bum ni baby

Baby blanket - for swaddling, cover surface when you have to change diapers, cover-up for moms while BF

Baby Carrier: i got Baby bjørn One (used for travelling) and Moby wrap (at home), made my life easier to finish chores and errands (when i need both of my hands).

High chair - especially when baby starts on solids. We got stokke´s tripp trapp chair which we love because of the quality and longevity, as it can be used by grown ups too! We bought the baby set, cushion and tray for now.

Stroller - A must for travelling and lakwatsa with you LO! We got Stokke´s xplory. (I hate to admit it but I am a fan of Stokke products!)

Mga  di masyado nagamit:

Baby swing and bouncer : saglit lang nagamit kasi di sya napipirmi sa isang lugar
Bed side crib: baby shares bed with me
Nursing pillow: a normal, pluffy pillow will do just fine

[shyla_c]

I made a list of stuff (it just keeps growing daily though). I am new at this though so I hope some can give insights to my list. He you go:

- breast pads

Bathing

Nappies
- diapers (as much as I'd like to use cloth diapers, I don't have the time to do the laundry, I don't like stocking up soiled diapers even for more than one day, and we don't have helpers)
- baby wipes
- cream/ointment for diaper rashes (just in case)
- powder

- bolster and pillow covers at least 3 sets
- wearable blanket (I don't also know how this is called)

Others

There, I hope you can comment or suggest or add to my list. I hope I'm not missing any important stuff..

^sis shyla_c, when are you due? Baby shopping is both fun and a bit challenging at times, especially with all the baby products out there in the market.

Clothing:

Shirt+ pants, onesies - get at least 8 sets for 0-3 and 4-6 months, and get at least 10-12 sets from 7 months onwards. I am saying this because when you baby starts on solids on the 6 months and then starts to crawl on the 7-9 months, you will need to change their clothes more often. I am speaking from my experience.

for PJs, 5-6 will do since babies don´t get dirty when they are sleeping, unless their poop or urine seeps out of the diaper at night.

baby towels- at least 2, as towels should be washed after 4-5 uses.

[shyla_c]

Hi sis! ^ thanks for the reply and the tips! Iam due first week of June. Hubby and I are over the top excited, he doesnt enjoy the shopping though (hahaha) but is patient enough to hear me out when I'm venting over what to buy and how plenty.
Now at least I have an idea how many I should stock! Thanks!

Dangerous to have pillows and bolsters on baby's crib. Increases the risk of SIDS. Unless you are co sleeping then i guess those are okay parang protective barrier narin para di madaganan si baby.

[shyla_c]

Hi ^vain_kixie wow thanks for the advise. Akala ko bumpers lang and dangerous, I'll take note of that. Although we're planning naman to have the crib placed beside our bed mismo. Wanna ask though what to use instead of the bolsters and pillows? Pwede ba wala silang pillows? Sorry first timer here!

[vain_kixie]

Ideally, no pillows, blankets, bumpers, stuff toys etc sa crib ni baby until about 12 months old. Mattress shouldnt be super soft but on the firm side para di sila ma suffocate. Dito kasi satin we use pillows and bolsters since most co sleep para di maipit si baby. Read about SIDS nalang sis.

My baby is in his own room so we dont use blankets or pillows. Pero may bumpers na ako ngayon to protect him from the wooden rails which are safely installed naman kasi super duper likot niya matulog talaga and he knows how to stand up and sit down on his own so hindi na ako ganun kinakabahan about the bumpers,

[bagaholic_chewy]

For "blankets", helpful sa amin ang sleepsacks. Early weeks, nung di pa dumadapa si baby, we used swaddle sleepsacks para naka-tuck pati arms nya. And same with sis vain_kixie, no pillows/bolsters/blanket. nasa tabi lang din ng bed namin ang crib ni baby.
