New Baby Checklist

Furniture

• Crib + mattress

Get a very simple crib that conforms to the safety standards of Canada. Do not spend too much on a crib like we did. Out daughter outgrew the crib by the time she’s crawling at 10 months. I would also NOT recommend a convertible n-in-1 crib, not only is the conversion kit expensive, it’s also not very practical, just a waste of money. You are better off getting a twin bed later. Things you should look for in a good crib:

• • Solid construction, no loose screws, preferably wooden
  • A Health Canada approved label should be found on the crib
  • Good ventilation (rails as opposed to planks)
  • No wheels

The crib mattress should be firm.

• Rocker & ottoman

Get a rocking chair if you intend to breastfeed. A rocking chair should fit into your existing decor

• Change table

You can either purchase a diaper change station or simply get a foam diaper change pad and tether it to the top of your existing chest of drawers.

• Bassinet

Optional, a bassinet is a small portable crib that’s good for the first 2-3 months.

• Playpen

This is optional however quite handy when traveling with an infant.


Gear

• Infant car seat + base

The infant car seat should conform to the safety standards as specified by Transport Canada. A Transport Canada issued sticker with the expiry date should be found on the car seat. If you are going to use a second hand car seat, make sure that it has NOT been in an accident AND that it has NOT passed the expiry date. I would not recommend to use an imported car seat without the Transport Canada’s safety sticker.

• Stroller

I would highly recommend that you spend the money on a good quality stroller that fits your lifestyle. A travel system (stroller + car seat) is quite convenient, however the stroller may not be ideal. It’s totally up to you to decide what’s more important. Things that you should look for in a good quality stroller include but not limited to:

• • Light-weight aluminum frame
  • Pneumatic tires
  • Easy maneuverability, usually as a result of 360˚ swirl front wheel(s)
  • Easy folding & unfolding mechanism
  • Multiple recline positions including fully reclined so baby can lie flat in the stroller
  • Reversible seat (so baby can either face you or face forward)
  • Ample storage space

• Baby carrier

This is IMO a must-have. The idea of the baby carrier is to recreate a womb-like environment for the baby. A carrier is also the best way to calm a cranky baby. There are many different kinds of baby carriers, they roughly divide into the following categories:

• • Wrap: a long piece of cloth, notable brands are EllaRoo, Moby, Mama Kangaroo
  • Sling: a tube-like carrier with one side open, notable brands are Hotsling, Maya Wrap, Karma, EllaRoo
  • Mei-tai: the traditional Chinese carrier, very popular. Notable brands are EllaRoo, Kozy, BabyHawk.
  • Structured soft carrier: various configurations, notable brands are NG Ergo, BabyTrekker, Beco,

You can also easily make your own wrap, sling or Mei Tai carriers, just Google “baby wearing”.

• Swing

This is an optional however quite handy gear, particularly during the first 3 months after baby’s arrival.

• Bouncer Seat

Small, handy and easy to transport, this is a must-have for new parents.

• Jumper

A doorway jumper or the stand-alone version is a great gear for babies who can hold up their own head, usually after 3-4 months. A baby can have hours of fun in this simple gear.

• ExcerSaucer

Like the jumper, the saucer is a great gear for babies who can hold up their own head. The toys around the saucer can keep the baby occupied long enough for you to take a shower, maybe even longer.

• High Chair or Booster Seat

For solid feeding, a high chair should be easy to clean.


Diapering

• Diaper

Whatever you choose, make sure to keep plenty on hand. For the first 2 months, budget 10-12 diapers per day. DO NOT buy a lot of newborn diapers (size N) since babies usually outgrow them very quickly. As soon as the umbilical cord fell off, you can switch to size 1 diaper. Tips:

• • Buy in bulk
  • Register online with Pampers or Huggies to receive coupons
  • While the initial investment is quite substantial, cloth diapers are more environmentally friendly, they also tend to save more in the long run.

• Wipe

You can either use wipes to clean a baby’s bottom or use cloth and water, whichever you prefer. In my experience, the Costco Kirkland brand wipes offer the best overall price to quality ratio. You can easily make your own wipes by moistening half-sized paper towel.

• Diaper rash cream

Pretty much all diaper rash creams found in the market are made with zinc oxide, the difference is usually only the concentration. 40% zinc oxide is good for severe diaper rash, while lower concentration can be used as maintenance cream. A cheap yet effective alternative maintenance cream is petroleum jelly (Vaseline).

• Change pad cover

Use a large bath towel or receiving blanket as change pad cover, no need to speed the money on this.

• Diaper pail

Get a regular kitchen garbage bin with lid, no need to spend the extra buying refills of Diaper Genie.


Clothing

• Diaper shirts (onesies)
• Sleepers
• Socks
• Mittens
• Hats
• Shoes: soft-soled slippers or booties like Robeez are best
• One-piece winter coat, highly recommend MEC’s Toaster

Feeding

• Bibs
• Breast pump & breast milk storage bags: highly recommend the Medela Pump in Style breast pump.
• Bottles & nipples: glass or BPA-free bottles. Even if you plan to breastfeed, it’s still a good idea to keep some bottles and nipples around.
• Burping cloths: No need to spend the money on burping cloth, receiving blankets are more than enough.
• Brush: to clean bottles
• Bottle Sterilizer: optional but nice to have

Bathing

• Baby tub
• Washcloths
• Baby shampoo & body wash: usually 2-in-1, highly recommend Weleda or Mustella
• Lotion: get only fragrance-free lotions, highly recommend Cetaphil or Glaxal Base Cream
• Hooded towel: optional but handy to have.

Sleeping

• Small lamp for baby room
• Water-proof liner for crib if mattress is not water-proof
• Fitted sheets for crib, playpen or bassinet
• Receiving blankets: have plenty on hand, they are the most used and versatile product for new babies.
• Swaddling blankets: optional but proved to be really handy for us.
• Crib mobile: optional but everyone has it.
• Classical or lullaby music: again optional but everyone has a few.

Safety

• Baby monitor
• Rectal or ear thermometer
• Medicine dispenser
• Baby nail clipper
• Nasal aspirator
• Hair brush

For Mom

• Nursing bra: highly recommend Bravado or Thyme’s Maternity nursing bra and tank tops
• Breast pads
• Nursing pillow: highly recommend My Breast’s Friend nursing pillow
• Pure lanolin nipple cream
• Maxi pads: extra long and absorbent
• Sitz bath: you can get one for free from the hospital where you deliver the baby or purchase one from any pharmacy.

Miscellaneous

• Vitamin D: only if you plan to breastfeed
• Ivory Snow laundry detergent
• Humidifier: essential for our harsh Canadian winter, an ultrasonic humidifier is best IMO.
• Diaper bag: choose one that has ample storage and different compartments. You can also register online with Nestlé : Nestle.ca to get your free diaper bag and some samples.

Extra

• Stroller cover: great for winter, we used JJ Cole’s BundleMe and really liked it.
• Wipes warmer: keep those wipes from getting cold in winter.

谢谢WIKI，这可是一个很详细的清单。请不要介意我把一些个人意见加上，让妈妈们多个参考。

• Crib + mattress

Get a very simple crib that conforms to the safety standards of Canada. Do not spend too much on a crib like we did. Out daughter outgrew the crib by the time she’s crawling at 10 months. （我让儿子睡到两岁，他很开心，但有的孩子确实不喜欢）I would also NOT recommend a convertible n-in-1 crib, （严重同意）not only is the conversion kit expensive, it’s also not very practical, just a waste of money. You are better off getting a twin bed later. Things you should look for in a good crib:

• • Solid construction, no loose screws, preferably wooden
  • A Health Canada approved label should be found on the crib
  • Good ventilation (rails as opposed to planks)
  • No wheels （如果在地板上，这是必要的。如果在地毯上，我觉得有好，WHEEL在地毯上不会滑，很稳当，有WHEEL方便挪动，也方便捡床底下的玩具什么的，或有时候换换方位。）

The crib mattress should be firm.（同意）

• Rocker（必要） & ottoman （没有怎么用，但跟ROCKER是一套）

Get a rocking chair if you intend to breastfeed. A rocking chair should fit into your existing decor

• Change table （没有买，用一张高度始终的桌子代替，另外Change table 上面的安全带有多少人在每次放BB上去时都用？）

You can either purchase a diaper change station or simply get a foam diaper change pad and tether it to the top of your existing chest of drawers.

• Bassinet （可用的时间太短了，而且也不便宜）

Optional, a bassinet is a small portable crib that’s good for the first 2-3 months.

• Playpen （对于我很有用，可以卧式以外任何地方，客厅、厨房、室外等，白天基本上都可以睡在那）

This is optional however quite handy when traveling with an infant.

I would not recommend to use an imported car seat without the Transport Canada’s safety sticker.

  • Multiple recline positions including fully reclined so baby can lie flat in the stroller
  • Reversible seat (so baby can either face you or face forward)
  • Ample storage space

Stroller 是个很头疼的东西，因为它是必须的，每款的设计都有你喜欢的和不喜欢的，多花点时间选一个适合你的。我家有五个Stroller ，而且都在用着，在不同的场合了。而我还想再买别的款式，实在太好用了。：）

• Baby carrier

This is IMO a must-have. The idea of the baby carrier is to recreate a womb-like environment for the baby. A carrier is also the best way to calm a cranky baby. There are many different kinds of baby carriers, they roughly divide into the following categories:

  • Structured soft carrier: various configurations, notable brands are NG Ergo, BabyTrekker, Beco,

You can also easily make your own wrap, sling or Mei Tai carriers, just Google “baby wearing”.

Baby carrier 是很必要的，特别在BB不舒服的时候。觉得很多Baby carrier 可用的时间不长，我曾经花了很长时间找一个我喜欢的，后来看中了ERGO，很好的一个。

 

[Sean Mama]

• Swing

This is an optional however quite handy gear, particularly during the first 3 months after baby’s arrival.

• Bouncer Seat

Small, handy and easy to transport, this is a must-have for new parents.

• ExcerSaucer

Like the jumper, the saucer is a great gear for babies who can hold up their own head. The toys around the saucer can keep the baby occupied long enough for you to take a shower, maybe even longer.

以上这些东西在半岁前都很有用，之后用处不大，而且很占地方，也不便宜。建议能借就去借好了，想我一样。 ：）

• High Chair or Booster Seat （这也是必要的东西，有WHEEL的更方便，不过要贵一点）

For solid feeding, a high chair should be easy to clean.

感谢Sean Mama增加了许多意见。

我的Rocking chair用得很多，每天喂6-8次奶就都指望它了，买个舒服的还是很有必要的。我买了个Dutallier的皮摇椅加垫脚，明黄色，孩子大了以后也能用。垫脚太有用了，特别适合我这样腿不够长的妈妈，翘着脚喂奶很舒服。:blowzy:

我女儿从10个月会爬开始就再也不愿意睡crib了。买crib的时候没经验，挑了个贵的还是5-in-1 convertible，亏透了！严重同意Sean Mama的意见，买个简单结实的就行。而且我不喜欢一边能放下去的那种，总觉得不够安全。

我也没有买change table。家里有个现成的dresser，高度正好。在Sears买了个海绵的change pad固定好正合适。女儿现在还在用。你别说，我在女儿一岁半之前每次都用安全带。现在她听得懂话了就没再用。

Bassinet的确没什么用，两三个月就不能再用了。但是我当时是在网上定的，拣了个便宜。而且我的crib订单后来因为一个部件不符合加拿大的安全标准给取消了，幸好有个bassinet，女儿头三个月一直都是睡在那里面，挨着我们的床。

看来Sean Mama是个stroller junkie. 我还算比较收敛，就喜欢看还不至于掏钱趸着，比那谁谁强多了。:blink: 要想讨论stroller我们可以单开一贴。我买了两个stroller，都是Quinny，都不太满意，很后悔把钱花在了crib上，真正需要的而且天天用的却没舍得买。

Baby carrier我买晚了，应该孩子一出生就买。好在用得多还比较划算。我买的是Baby Trekker，很喜欢。我也喜欢NG Ergo。Beco我没试过，但是网上很多妈妈都推荐它。我找了个EllaRoo Mei Tai Carrier的样子让西西姥姥帮我做了个背带，也很好用，而且方便携带。

那些大的儿童用品基本都是shower gifts或者管朋友借的。Swing和Jumper都是在usedottawa上买的二手货，都挺好用。现在一家一家传呢。

衣服我建议少买，除了必需品其他等生了再买也不迟。但是snowsuit可以趁夏天减价买一件。咱们这冬天那么长，肯定用得上。

 

[西西妈]

crib,
俺家这个3－in-1, 皮皮鲁跟鲁西西的喜好就完全不一样，西西用到2岁半，因为弟弟出生升级到单人床去，可是皮皮鲁从出生到一岁半，加起来用的不超过一个月。
有趣的是，这阵子鲁西西同学听完故事就要求被放进弟弟的crib里去睡，哈哈，4岁了还能睡，我还是挺喜欢这种墩装的crib。不过，这个是礼物，我确定自己是不会舍得买的。按我自己的想法，一个Bassinet／playpen，直接到单人床（＋床拦）。

 

[Sean Mama]

关于BB的东西，我的原则是，必需的当然预先准备好，其他的需要用的时候再去买。买的时候先考虑二手的。

 

[Sean Mama]

我有五个的大大小小功能各异的stroller，主要是因为我开车少，走路多，冬天也一样，没有这些工具，我是搞不定两个孩子的。 ：（

 

[wangyan]

谢谢楼上两位这么详细的解说,我要年底才生,一直搞不清楚到底要准备什么,现在总算有个谱.
不过,还想请问一下,因为打算坐完月子回国呆一段时间,就宝宝出生到回国当中的2个月需要准备什么呢?尤其是必需品和可以带在飞机上用的.感觉那个stroller和一些东西可以等回国才买是吗?因为不想买太多婴儿用品,到时候带不回去又没地方寄存.

Travelling with an Infant

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Traveling with an Infant[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Air Canada[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Baby can have one checked luggage, same as adult 23 KG. You are also allowed to bring an umbrella style stroller on board the aircraft. If you have purchased a seat for your baby, you can also bring a Transport Canada approved car seat on board the aircraft. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Bottom line: [/FONT]

• [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]As of Jul-15-2008, 2 free checked luggage per infant (23kg maximum)[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Baby can have one checked luggage, 10kg only. Baggage allowance for domestic flights in China differs from international flights. In China, total baggage allowance is by weight, not by pieces, and only 20kg is allowed per passenger. Excess baggage is charged at 1.5% of the highest rate (usually full fare) per kilogram. However if you are connecting either before or after to an international flight within 24 hours, then your baggage allowance follows the international standards of 23kg per piece for a maximum of 2 pieces per adult passenger.

谢谢楼上两位这么详细的解说,我要年底才生,一直搞不清楚到底要准备什么,现在总算有个谱.
不过,还想请问一下,因为打算坐完月子回国呆一段时间,就宝宝出生到回国当中的2个月需要准备什么呢?尤其是必需品和可以带在飞机上用的.感觉那个stroller和一些东西可以等回国才买是吗?因为不想买太多婴儿用品,到时候带不回去又没地方寄存.

如果你打算只在加拿大呆两个月那基本上就不要买什么东西，有个地方睡觉，几件换洗的衣服，换尿片的一套，洗漱的一套就行了，其他回国再说。不过我强烈建议你在加拿大买stroller，国内的又贵又不好，选择也比较少。我女儿用的小stroller在Sears买150加元，北京百盛卖整整两千人民币。如果你不打算母乳，也建议你买些配方奶。我自己没经验，不过听说国内奶粉比较甜。

 

[橘子orange]

想请问一下，Dr. Brown 的玻璃奶瓶一种是8oz,一种是4oz的,宝宝适合用多大的奶瓶呢？谢谢。

买大的。

 

[香草苹果饼]

有用有用~~~！请问妈妈们都是去哪里买这些婴儿用品的啊？
