What are Newborn Must-haves vs. Don’t-Needs? - with Sophie, Jayde and their unsolicited opinions.

In our 152nd episode of Beyond the Bump, we’re talking all newborn essentials and how not to get swept up in the need to pre-purchase everything!

DISCLAIMER!!! We are not judging any first-time pregnant mums out there who are excited and want to buy all the things – we’ve been there, done that!

  • You’re a first-time mum and you’re planning on breastfeeding, what do you need and what do you not need?
    • Do you need formula and bottles before baby is born?
    • Do you need pre-purchase a breast pump before baby is born?
    • What about nipple shields and breast pads?
    •  What about dummies? Is it necessary to have heaps of them?
  • What underwear do you need post birth?
  • Thoughts on having a nursey set up before baby is born.
  • Are caddy stations around the house necessary for feeding? And what are some essentials?
  • Clothes!! How do you know what to get and how many of each size?
  • Does your baby need a going-home outfit for your going home pictures?
  • How to know that your baby is dressed in sufficient amount of clothing?
  • Swaddles versus sleep suits?
  • Nappies and wipes? How much is sufficient?
  • When it comes to bassinets, what are we looking for? And is the Snoo worth it?
  • To capsule or not to capsule? And can you go straight to a car seat?
  • What to consider when choosing a pram.
  • And SO MUCH MORE!!!
