Size zero diapers for newborns are easily available in local supermarkets and with pharmacies. Some hospitals provide baby diapers; however, if you wish to use a specific brand only you may carry your own.
You may want to check with the hospital if they make provision for wet wipes or you have to carry your own. Wet wipes are very useful in cleaning the baby after it has passed stool or urine. Choose a brand of wipes that is certified by paediatricians.
While mother’s milk is the best source of nutrition for babies, there is a possibility that top feed may be required. This can happen if the new mother is experiencing no milk supply or lack of supply. It is important to consult a paediatrician before choosing a brand of formula milk.
Feeding bottles may be needed if the baby needs to be formula fed or if the mother is expressing adequate milk but is unable to breastfeed for some reason. Breast milk may be pumped and fed through bottles in this case.
Wrapping the newborn in a swaddle cloth is the best way to ensure that they remain warm and get a feeling of security. A good quality swaddle cloth made of soft material deservedly finds a place at the top of your delivery bag list.
