Mary Janes and Ballerina Slippers - Fancy Girl Shoes That Are Really Socks

Socks can be more than just something to keep your baby girl's feet warm. With new styles of socks that mimic the look of shoes, you can make a variety of cute fashion statements without having to worry about keeping tiny shoes on your baby's feet. For less than the price of a pair of Robeez or other popular baby shoe, you can get a whole boxful of different shoe looks. If the weather is cold or if your baby has started to walk around outdoors, you'll need to invest in a real shoe. But until then, why not sample some of the following adorable sock designs for your little girl?

Davinci Emily Crib

Mary Janes are a cute and classic shoe style for little girls, but who wants to deal with fastening tiny straps? Check out Trumpette's Mary Jane socks instead. They make it look like your baby is wearing black Mary Jane shoes over different colors of socks. Pairs come six to a box in a Bright set (bright yellow, bright green, white, red, magenta, and purple) and a Pastel set (pale blue, lavender, pink, white, light yellow, light green). The Bright Mary Janes socks are also offered in a Rosies set with tiny roses set at the edges of the straps.

Davinci Emily Crib

Other brands make Mary Jane socks, too. Jazzy Toes Baby Socks sells a set of white socks printed with black, brown, red, lavender, pink, and sage Mary Janes with little flower details by the "buckle." Dolly and Dimples's Tea for Two Set, packaged in an adorable cardboard box painted to look like a bureau, contains two pairs of Mary Janes (pink and black) printed on white ruffle socks. Dolly and Dimples's Pastry Set, packaged in a box painted to look like a Parisian building, contains three pairs of pastel Mary Janes (pink, lavender, and yellow).

Dolly and Dimples also makes matching pairs of black Mary Jane socks for both mother and baby. And, for the fanciest Mary Janes of all, Mud Pie offers the Little Sprout Mary Jane socks set: two pairs of black Mary Janes printed on green-and-white polka dot socks and pink-and-white polka dot socks, plus pink flats with flower decorations printed on white-and-green polka dot socks.

Various other formal shoe designs for girls beyond Mary Janes are available. If you want your baby to look like she is wearing trendy flats, check out Trumpette's Pixies set (six pairs of white socks printed with colored flats with tiny bows at the toe in chartreuse, lavender, black, turquoise, red, and magenta). Or track down Dolly and Dimples's Garden Party set (green, black, and pink flower flats, packaged in a greenhouse box) or their Shopping on the Square set (three pairs of bow flats in black and pink, packaged in a box painted with three charming storefronts),

For even fancier printed slipper designs, look for Mud Pie's Tiny Dots and Rosettes Socks. They look like pink slippers with rose-embellished straps worn over pink socks with white polka dots. Or find Mud Pie's Little Sprout Infant Socks, which are flower and ribbon-decorated slippers in black, pink, white, and lime green.

For little ballerinas, search out Trumpette Ballet socks, which look like tiny ballet slippers (in black, light blue, orchid, pink, yellow, light green) laced over white tights. Mud Pie's Baby Ballerina socks offer the same laced-up ballet slipper style in black and pink.

For an extra-fancy touch, you could get Mud Pie's Little Princess Ballet Slipper socks, which picture flat ballet slippers with little flowers at the toe. Or you could get Mud Pie Crown Princess Socks with crowns and jewels woven on them.

If you are environmentally conscious and prefer socks made from organic cotton, check out Baberoo's Organic Socks. You'll find styles there ranging from pretty Mary Janes and ballerina slippers to casual clogs, high-top sneakers, and cute flip-flops! Elegant Baby also offers a stylish hot pink flip-flop pair of socks.

Sizing varies from brand to brand, with some pairs fitting 0-12 month feet, while others may only fit 0-9 month feet. The Jazzy Toes Baby Socks tend to run large, so you'll get lots of use out of them. Most of these socks have some sort of rubber design (usually the brand's name or a cute saying) printed on the bottom to make the socks non-slip as your baby begins to toddle around. Cosy and diverse, all of these socks will make sweet additions to your baby girl's wardrobe.

Top 4 Ride on Toys For 2 Year Olds

At the age of 2 your child will be considerably more mobile, although they may still find walking around a little wobbly. If you want to help strengthen their legs then it is worth investing in buying one of the many ride on toys for 2 year olds that many toy manufacturers have now produced.

Davinci Emily Crib

So when it comes to purchasing such a gift for your child which one should you choose? Below we take a look at some of the ride on toys that are proving extremely popular at this time with other parents who have 2 year olds.

Davinci Emily Crib

1. Wooden Rocker

When we were young this was of course known as a rocking horse. In today's market they don't just come in the shape of horses. Some companies now make them in every shape animal and some of them even look like motorcycles. Although this type doesn't actually move anywhere the motion will make your child feel as if they are. Of course they need to use not only their legs but their whole body to set this type of ride on toy in motion.

2. Pedal Car

These types of ride on toys for 2 year olds have been around for many decades now and still prove as popular today as when we had them. Today, however, not all of them require a child to turn the pedals to move the car along some require them to use their feet flat on the ground instead. Of course you must watch your child carefully when they first begin using these and make sure that you limit your child to using it only in the backyard.

3. Tricycles

When it comes to ride on toys for 2 year olds this is one of the most important ones that parents or grandparents can buy for a child today. It not only causes them to use their own body more to move themselves around but helps to improve other motor skills such as hand and eye coordination. Plus you will find that they will be much better prepared for when the time comes for your child to then begin to ride a conventional bicycle.

4. Power Ride On Toys

You may be surprised to know that power ride on toys for 2 year olds are actually very age appropriate. The 6 volt rides are perfect for children aged 18 months and older. They operate at very safe speeds, they have auto lock braking systems, and they normally have push button controls so your child doesn't have to learn how to use a foot pedal until they're ready.

Why Should My Baby Ride in a Rear Facing Car Seat?

If you have had a baby, you have most likely strapped them into their rear facing car seat, without really thinking about why. Of course, you've probably been told that you should have your baby in a rear facing seat and just accepted that, without being told why. The reason is really very simple. If you put your baby in a front facing seat, they face the risk of spinal injury in a crash. Ideally, everyone would ride in a rear facing seat, to reduce the risk of injury. Obviously, that is not practical. How do expect to drive a car while you're looking out the rear window? So, adults need to face forward, but babies should face backwards for several reasons.

Davinci Emily Crib

First of all, a rear facing seat offers an infant more protection in a frontal or offset frontal collision. It is true that a front facing seat would provide more protection in a rear or offset rear crash. But if you look at the statistics, frontal crashes are far more common. 72% of crashes are frontal or offset frontal collisions. 24% are side impact crashes, and a mere 4% of collisions are rear crashes. Just on those numbers, it makes the most sense to put a baby in the rear facing car seat, since it offers the most protection from 72% of collisions.

Davinci Emily Crib

Another thing to consider in crashes is the energy. You have two vehicles weighing 3000 pounds or more, traveling at 20-70 miles per hour, depending on whether you are on surface streets or on the freeway. The weight and speed of the cars means that there is quite a bit of energy that will be transferred to the occupants of the vehicles. If there is a rear collision, then either one car is stopped, and the other car crashes into it at low speed, or the two vehicles are traveling at roughly the same speed, and there will not be very much energy in the collision. In a frontal collision, however, there is a lot of energy transferred to the occupants of the vehicles. Both vehicles will be traveling at speed, and coming to a stop in a fraction of a second. Now, think about what happens when you stop suddenly. You tend to be pushed forward in your seat. The higher the speed, and the faster the vehicle stops, the more you will be pushed forward. That's why we have seatbelts and air bags. That's fine for adults. Our muscles, bones, and connective tissue are fully developed. If we have a seatbelt and airbags, we can survive that. A baby on the other hand is still developing. If a baby got thrown forward into a seat belt or harness, it could suffer significant injury. On the other hand, if the baby is secure in a rear facing seat, the baby would be cushioned by the back of the seat.

So for these reasons, your baby would be safest in a rear facing seat. Graco SnugRide 32 Car Seats are designed to keep your baby safe in a rear facing seat until they reach 32 pounds or 32 inches. Much longer than the 20 pounds that is recommended. They are also designed to meet or exceed U.S. crash test standards. So put your baby in a rear facing car seat, and keep them safe.

Totally Free Baby Stuff For Your Newborn

Have you been searching the web high and low to find some totally free baby stuff? There are a lot of websites that say they offer totally free baby stuff, but most simply cannot be trusted and are not reliable. If you find the right place online, you really can score some good stuff for your new baby.

Davinci Emily Crib

Some things you can expect to get in the mail by signing up are:

Davinci Emily Crib

- Diapers and cloth diapers

- Formula samples

- Various medicines and first aid kits

- Baby shampoos and bathing accessories

- Baby wipes and clean-up stuff

- Baby food samples

- Many different baby magazines

Simply put, raising a new baby can be very expensive. These expenses are usually in the form of the items listed above. Big companies such as Gerber, Enfamil, and Johnson & Johnson give away free baby samples in order to earn your business. Sometimes these samples are quite sizable and for example sometimes you might receive two or three sample diapers to try out.

For example, we recently received four samples of baby formula from Enfamil in about one month's time. Our baby we ended up breast feeding but this made a great gift for a friend of ours that was expecting a newborn. We also started receiving Baby Magazine and American Baby for free. These are just a couple examples of the things you can expect to get.

With a reliable website that has partnered with these big companies, you can expect to receive a few things every month completely free. Some months you might even get a few more things sent to you.

So you are probably asking yourself what is the big catch? Basically by providing a valid name, address and e-mail address you are giving the company the right to market to you in the future for various baby products. You can opt out of these e-mails and mailings at any time but usually people choose to stay on these lists to keep receiving some good free stuff. I know I do not mind a couple e-mails here and there in exchange for receiving totally free baby stuff. We have saved some pretty good money by getting this free stuff.

I actually have signed up twice with two addresses and two email address which allows me to get twice the stuff free. These samples make great gifts for new parents or expecting parents. When I get the same things twice I simply give the samples away as gifts. I have friends who even donate them to shelters and hospitals to help other new mom's out.

Travel Light With Lightweight Baby Strollers

Let your baby ride it light and in style! Gone were the days of using heavy baby strollers as this age now offers more practical ways of carrying your baby without the heavyweight carriages and your little one constantly tucked in your arms.

Davinci Emily Crib

The main problem of baby carriages lies on its weight. Given this, the best solution to this dilemma is to opt for lightweight baby strollers for ease of transport and use. To give you more benefits of carrying light baby carriages, check out the words that follow:

Davinci Emily Crib

Lightweight strollers are easier to maneuver

There are baby strollers that are challenging to move, push and shift into different directions. For one, they are very heavy and are made of heavy materials. If you've been struggling with this kind of carriage, now is the best time to shift to a lighter one. Specifically, look for an aluminum frame that is way lighter than other metals, sturdy and is less susceptible rust.

Lightweight baby strollers are easier to carry around

Traveling with the kids is perhaps one of the most challenging activities to get into. However, it is more challenging to carry along with you heavy strollers. So to somehow ease the burden, opting for a lightweight carriage allows for quicker, less stressed and manageable travel.

Bottom Line

Whether you settle for heavy or lightweight baby carriages, it is still best to put your baby's well- being and safety as your primary consideration. Almost all strollers have their own safety guidelines, so make it a point to check and double check before use. For further ease and comfort, opt for a lightweight stroller to allow you to enjoy your travels light.

The Top 3 Products a Newborn Baby Needs at a Discount

If you are looking for a gift for a friend that has just had a newborn baby, or you are an expecting mother or family awaiting the arrival of the new special child, there are a few things that you should have ready to go in the nursery and at her home before the baby arrives. Here are the top three products all newborn babies need once they arrive in the world and how you can get them at a massively discounted price.

Davinci Emily Crib

Many people get confused when trying to buy an infant gifts or products that it may need as it enters this new world. There are so many to choose from. If you are looking for a gift, you may wonder which one would be the best choice for your family member or friend. If it is for yourself, you may wonder which ones you need the most especially if you're on a budget.

Davinci Emily Crib

Here are the top three infant products that you should give or have when a new child has entered the world:

First, the new child will need the essentials. This includes bottles for feeding, brushes for their hair, teething rings, pacifiers, and an assortment of other items that babies always must-have.

Second, this new little person is going to need clothing. There are so many types to choose from. This would include outfits to wear at night, clothing that is warm and comfortable when the mother takes the child out on a stroll, and of course indoor clothing for play.

Finally, the new kid on the block will need to have a nursery that is complete with all of the items this new room should have. This would include blankets, mattresses, sheets, and of course a bassinet or cradle. These are essential items that will not only help the baby sleep, but will allow the mother to get her much needed rest.

The key thing to focus upon, in regard to the nursery, is the quality of the items that are purchased. Sleep is so essential to both the mother and child that spending a few extra dollars on a sleeping set will make the difference between a restful evening and days full of energy or a nightmare of ongoing restlessness and lack of sleep for both parties.

Although quality is essential, it is imperative that you are able to locate a resource for products that offers quality at a discounted price. Typically, the best deals are found on the Internet as the overhead for hosting a website and fulfilling the orders is far less than a real brick and mortar store.

Steps to Creating the Perfect Nursery for Your Newborn Without Breaking the Bank

Every new parent wants to create the perfect nursery for his or her new baby. Choosing the perfect furniture may take some time, however in the end, you will be please that you took your time in making your selections.

Davinci Emily Crib

A nursery is more than just a room, it is where you and your baby will spend a lot of time, and you want it to have all of the essential elements that will create a peaceful, warm, and comfortable atmosphere where your baby will feel safe and secure.

Davinci Emily Crib

Many parents feel like they must purchase the best furniture at exorbitant prices in order to provide for their child. As ridiculous as it sounds, they feel they must prove to everyone that they can provide for their new baby.

They have to have the best of everything, and for many families that are just starting out, it can create a hardship. If you feel you must purchase expensive furniture, then check with retailers regarding a lay away or payment plan. Shopping around can assist you greatly in saving money that will be needed when your new baby arrives.

You do not have to purchase a million dollar baby crib for your new baby, as long as you have the essentials, then you are doing good. A baby bassinet, crib and bureau are basically all you need for baby furniture essentials, and over time, you can add things like a rocking chair, playpen and more teaching toys.

A nursery should not only consist of furniture, it should have a lot of toys. When you first bring your baby home, you should have a lot of stuffed animals in an assortment of bright colors. This not only makes the nursery more comfortable, they can be used as learning tools. Stuffed animals teach your baby what texture feels like, and the bright colors also assists your baby in focusing. Squeaky toys are also an important part of your baby's development, no matter how annoying they are.

As your baby gets older, rattles teach him or her motor skills by grasping clutching and reaching, and the best part is that you are just simply playing with your baby, creating bonds of trust and love.

Sterilizing Your Baby's Bottles

Mothers who breastfeed needn't worry too much about contaminated milk. Provided the mother is healthy and bathes each day, the breast milk she gives her baby will always be fresh and, most importantly, contain her own anti-bodies that ward off germs. Mothers who choose to bottle-feed their baby aren't automatically providing this protection against infection. Therefore, cleanliness is paramount when you bottle-feed your baby.

Davinci Emily Crib

Does this mean a mother who bottle-feeds must be somewhat paranoid; always on the look out for any germs that might be lingering about, waiting to do her baby harm? Of course not. A mother just needs to follow a few basic steps to ensure that bottle-feeding her baby is a happy and safe experience. The most important of these steps is to sterilize your baby's bottles.

Davinci Emily Crib

Before your child is born you should purchase a good set of bottles and nipples. You should buy the best that you can afford. Remember that the nipple is what your baby will latch on to, so the nipple will experience a lot of wear-and-tear. Also, buy the larger sized bottles; your baby will soon out-grow the smaller ones. The most important item you should buy, however, is a bottle sterilizer.

There are several types on the market. You can buy a cheap and simple model that you just put in your microwave. The advantage with this type of sterilizer is that it is cheap. It also works perfectly adequately. The disadvantages are that you must ensure that you clean your microwave, especially after cooking spicy food; you don't want to upset your baby's stomach. Also portability is limited; it's not always very convenient to travel with bottle, diapers, wet-wipes, formula and a microwave! You can also buy an electric sterilizer.

Another type of sterilizer you can purchase is the electric model. You wash your baby' bottles and then pop them into a plastic tray which is then inserted into the sterilizer. Always read the manufacturer's instructions before use. You'll need to use the sterilizer once, without any bottles when you first use it. Also, only put the amount of water inside the sterilizer that the manufacturer instructs. It's tempting to put in more, but don't. It's important that all the water is turned into steam and evaporates. Any water that's left behind to form a pool at the bottom of the sterilizer can provide a reservoir in which germs can breed. The advantages with an electric model are that is more or less self-cleaning, unlike a microwave - which is also used for cooking. It is somewhat easier to take on a trip. It's not too heavy and you can always find somewhere to plug it in. The main disadvantage is cost.

The third type of sterilizer is an electric/microwave combination. It's basically an electric model but you can take out the inner container and put it into a microwave. The main advantages for this type are those of both the microwave and electric ones mentioned above. The main disadvantage is price. This model tends to be the most expensive.

There are other measures you need to undertake to ensure a germ free feed for your baby, but without doubt, for every day use, a sterilizer will be your most important purchase for safe and healthy bottle-feeding your baby.

Sensory Function in Children From Birth

Such functions include Vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. How are they peculiar to a newborn or a child?

Davinci Emily Crib

Vision
At birth, the eye is structurally incomplete. The fovea centralis is not yet completely differentiated from the macula. The ciliary muscles are also immature, limiting the ability of the eyes to accommodate and fix on an object. However, the pupils react to light, the blink reflex is responsive to a minimal stimulus, and the corneal reflex is activated by a light touch. Tear glands usually do not begin to function until the neonate is 2 to 4 weeks of age.

The newborn has the ability to momentarily fix on a bright or moving object that is within 20cm (8 inches) and in the midline of movement is greater during the first hour of life than during the succeeding several days. Although Visual acuity is difficult to measure, it has been found that a newborn can respond to orthokinetic stripes that are comparable to 20/50 vision.

Hearing
Once the amniotic fluid has drained from the ears, the infant probably has auditory acuity similar to that of an adult. The neonate is able to detect a loud sound of about 90 decibels and reacts with a startle reflex. The newborn's response to sounds of low frequency and high frequency differs; the former, such as the sound of a heartbeat, metronome, or lullaby, tends to decrease an infant's motor activity and crying, whereas the latter elicits an alerting reaction.

There also seems to be an early sensitivity to the sound of human voices, although not to specific speech sounds. One study found that infants younger than 3 days of age can discriminate the mother's voice from that of other females. As early as age 2 weeks the neonate may stop crying to listen to the sound of a voice. The cortical activity associated with hearing or with any other sense is still incomplete at this stage because of the immature myelination of the various neural pathways beyond the midbrain, This lack of cortical integration is responsible for the infant's response to sound.

The internal and middle ears are larger at birth, but the external canal is small. The mastoid process and the bony part of the external canal have not yer developed. Consequently, the tympanic membrane and facial nerve are very close to the surface and can be easily damaged.

Smell
Limited research has been done on the newborn's ability to smell, However, it is known that newborns will react to strong odors such as alcohol or vinegar by turning their heads away. Recent studies have demonstrated that breast-fed infants are able to smell breast milk and will cry to their mothers when the breasts are engorged and leaking. Infants also have the ability to differentiate the breast milk from their mother or from other females by the smell.

Taste
The newborn has the ability to distinguish between tastes. Various types of solutions elicit differing gustofacial reflexes. A tasteless solution elicits no facial expression, a sweet solution elicits an eager suck and a look of satisfaction, a sour solution causes the usual expression. During early childhood the taste buds are distributed mostly on the tip of the tongue.

Touch
At birth, the infant is able to perceive tactile sensation in any part of the body, although the face (especially the mouth), hands, and soles of the feet seems to be most sensitive. There is increasing documentation that touches and motion are essential to normal growth and development, Gentle patting of the back or rubbing of the abdomen usually elicits a calming response from the infant. However, painful stimuli, such as a pinprick, will elicit an angry, upsetting response.

These peculiarities are very essential in observing the healthy state of a newborn or infant.

Top 10 Newborn Essentials

It's easy to want every new baby item that you see, particularly when you're pregnant. You envision your baby playing with the latest electronic whistles and lights ball while you pop in the current Baby Einstein DVD.

Davinci Emily Crib

Everything marketed for babies is so cute and clever, it's nearly impossible to resist. But the truth is, there is only a handful of baby items that you can't be without when your baby makes his or her entrance into the world.

Davinci Emily Crib

I've parred these items down to 10 absolute essentials. Any other items can easily be bought as you need them after the baby is born. This way, you won't get overwhelmed and overcrowded with things you don't need and/or can't afford.

1. Blankets
No sooner is a baby born, than he or she is swaddled snugly in a blanket. Blankets offer a safe, secure cocoon of warmth and comfort that mimics the familiar womb environment. Buy at least four blankets, including lightweight cotton receiving blankets and thicker, warm fleece blankets. The versatility of blankets is wonderful. They provide a clean place to lay a baby down for a diaper change, then double as a nursing shawl for instant breastfeeding privacy.

2. Diapers
Inevitably, the first thing a baby is "dressed" in is a diaper. But the first one won't stay on for long. From now until potty learning time, you'll need to have a constant supply of clean diapers. You'll go through a bag of disposables faster than a bag of potato chips. A newborn will need at least eight diapers a day, likely more. You may want to weigh the pros and cons of cloth versus disposable diapers. Wipes will also be a necessity, although cotton balls and plain water are recommended for cleaning a newborn baby for the first few weeks, as well as any time diaper rash occurs (the soap in the wipes irritates the rash).

3. Clothes
The newborn clothing to have on hand varies somewhat by your climate. If you live in a cold area, you will need more warm clothes that can be layered on, such as sweaters and pants. Otherwise, a basic newborn wardrobe should include several one-pieces (basically a shirt that extends to snap together at the crotch), a couple of footed sleepers or blanket sleepers, several nightgowns (these are long gowns for both boys and girls with elastic at the bottom--just move the gown up for easy night-time diaper changes--no buttons to fumble with. Also make sure to have socks or booties to keep little feet warm, as well as cotton hats to keep those relatively bald newborn heads cozy (most heat is lost through the head); you will likely be using these no matter the time of year.

4. Food
You may not need to buy anything for newborn food, but it's such an essential, it must be mentioned. If you choose breastfeeding, everything you need is built in. You'd be wise, however, to get a breast pump and bottle for times when you need to pump a bit to relieve the fullness, or to freeze a milk supply for future use. If you are not going to breastfeed, you definitely need formula and at least four bottles on hand.

5. Car Seat
You can't go anywhere with your baby without one--including home from the hospital. Even if you plan to have your baby at home, you need a car seat installed before labor in case of an emergency trip to the hospital. Finally, make sure the seat is properly installed. It is too easy to install it the wrong way! Research and read reviews to find a highly rated car seat. Your baby's safety depends on it.

6. Crib
Unless you plan to let your newborn sleep in your arms only (and you may be tempted to at first, until the aching muscles and weariness set in), you'll need a safe, comfy place to lay him or her down. This could be a crib, bassinet, cradle, or co-sleeper. Check out reviews and ratings. If you choose a crib, make sure it is new enough to meet safety requirements and that the spaces between the slats aren't too wide (simple test: you should not be able to pass a soda can through the slats). You can get your money's worth from a crib that can later be transformed into a toddler bed.

Bassinets and cradles are convenient in that they are smaller and more easily moved from room to room. However, a newborn will outgrow these much sooner than a crib, and will then need to be transitioned to a crib. Same goes for a co-sleeper, which can be put in or attached to your own bed--a baby will only fit in it for so long. However, co-sleepers are very nice for the tired new mother in the early weeks or months, so she doesn't have to constantly get out of bed for the baby.

Whatever newborn bed you choose, keep in mind that a mattress, waterproof pad, and fitted sheets will also be needed. Comforters and loose blankets or sheets are not advised, however, as these increase the risk of strangulation and smothering.

7. Nasal Aspirator
Yes, you do need one of those funny-looking squeezable rubber bulbs with the long stems. For such a simple device, it works wonders! When your newborn is sputtering from mucous in the throat and/or nose, you'll be very thankful you have a way to help.

How to use a nasal aspirator: It's fairly simple, unless the baby struggles so much that you can't get the end inserted into his or her mouth or nostril, in which case, enlist someone's help to hold the baby while you insert. Squeeze the bulb BEFORE inserting the stem into the nostril or mouth. Once inside, let off squeezing and let the bulb fill with air and mucous. Repeat as needed.

To clean a nasal aspirator: Use a bowl or sink of clean, warm water. Immerse the stem end and squeeze and release repeatedly, changing the water as needed. This likely won't get the aspirator completely clean, but it will be better than not trying at all!

8. Washcloths
Chances are you won't be dipping your baby in a real bathtub any time soon. Little washcloths are indispensable for quick wipe-downs with warm water. Have a nice stack of about ten on hand.

9. Towels
Indulge in several cute baby towels--you'll be needing them! A soft terry towel serves as a quick wrap to keep a naked newborn warm before and while being washed, as well as dry and cozy afterward.

10. Bibs
Last but not least, a cute set of newborn-sized baby bibs is highly recommended. (Larger bibs simply overtake newborns.) Keep a few clean bibs handy throughout the house and in the diaper bag; this will make it easy to keep your baby clean while saving those adorable baby clothes from stains. Remember, it's easier to change a little bib than an entire outfit!

Finally, the most important thing your newborn needs can't be bought or categorized: your unconditional love. If he or she has that, then warmth, shelter, food, and happiness will follow naturally.
