Don't forget about yourself. ..I bought breast pads bc breast milk gets everywhere...lol. Maxi pads - overnight bc flow can be heavy after child birth.

Agree with the Above comment.  Also, even if you plan to BF it is a good idea to have some formula/bottles in case you need them.

Make sure you have plenty of ibuprofin available for you to help with swelling after the birth.

Ps if you discover something you need after baby is born just send someone to the store for it (or go yourself)- that option doesn't suddenly disappear after baby is born. :-).

1st stay calm. His main needs are food, bottles, a bed, diapers, onsies and blankets. Don't rush out and buy a bunch of stuff because they don't use half of it.
Get a soft towel for bath time, soap and lotion you like and if you plan on a circ...get some antibacterial ointment. Use it liberally!!
No need for fancy burp cloth just use a blanket because sometimes a cloth doesn't do it. Don't forget you on all this too! Any questions? Feel free to ask me. Good luck :-)
