Newborn essential - what to buy what not to

Hello! I’m ftm with 3 weeks old newborn, personally I didn’t buy the following and so far doing fine without them: - Pacifier (PD said not recommended before 1 month old as breastfeeding not well established yet) - Electric swinger / bouncer - White noise - Lactation massager (can simply do warm compress and massage by hand) “Nipple silver shield” is referring to Silverette? I highly recommend it, can heal sore nipples very fast. If you buy this then you don’t need nipple cream. You can consider adding baby thermometer and nasal aspirator to the list.

definitely get a donut pillow if u r going for natural! if u dont mind using 'diaper' u should get kotex pad panties.. those helped alot especially when i feel so much pain below Get more epicool(ask from hosp to give u more) if not buy from shopee those are real good to cool down your wound

Bring more diapers and babies’ wet wipes! I didn’t expect to have emergency c sect and stayed abit longer in hospital so my private hospital has to charge me extra for babies’ diapers and wet wipes.

You're halfway there, mum! congratulations! This article might help you complete your list before baby arrives. https://sg.theasianparent.com/newborn-baby-needs-checklist

Add sunflower lecithin from Legendairy Milk to prevent clog ducts when breastfeeding!

Noticed there are electric and manual breast pump.. can ask why need both? 🫣 ftm here

I find underpad very useful for changing diapers, and also nasal aspirator
