关于怀孕这件事（19）- Checklist: Baby Registry Must-Haves

整理心情，又回到怀孕这件事。

今天终于在babycenter.com印了baby registry must-have 的checklist。

那一天和禾颢网上聊天，怀孕20周的她已经买了不少东西，反观怀孕19周的自己，还慢吞吞地，什么都还没有准备。于是想，应该是时候开始＂花钱＂了吧？

其实，是很想知道贝比的性别后才开始买的。哈哈。这样就不会买错颜色啊！不对吗？

禾颢说她什么颜色都买，粉红，浅蓝色都有。后来才知道她的宝宝是男的！呵呵呵～我后来想，啊！其实先买也无所谓，应该可以退货的，不是吗？

看一看checklist，哗！好多东西要买喔～接下来，应该分列为＂需要＂（Must-Haves）和＂多余＂（Extras）的部分，比较清楚一点。

Clothing

Suggested numbers are for a three-month period (one baby size), not the whole first year.

	One-piece outfits (5 to 7)For convenience, choose outfits that zip or snap down the front and all the way down the leg, and that open easily at the bottom for diaper changes.
	Shirts (5 to 7)Many parents prefer styles that snap at the crotch. Buy a mix of short- and long-sleeved shirts.
	Leggings or pull-on pants (5 to 7)Look for stretchy waistbands that fit easily over your baby's diaper and belly.
	Outer layers (5)Sweaters, fleece jackets, and sweatshirts that zip are easy to put on and take off.
	Hats (2)A broad-brimmed sun hat for the summer and a warm hat that covers the ears in the winter should do the trick.
	Socks and bootiesYou'll need lots of socks for indoors and some booties for outdoor wear.
	Mittens and snowsuitDepending on the climate where you live and the season when your baby is born.
	Pajamas/sleepers (5 to 7)No matter how cute it looks, avoid sleepwear that requires lots of effort to get on or off!

Diapering

	DiapersWhether you use cloth or disposable or something in between (some diapers use a reusable cover with a disposable lining), your baby will probably go through ten to 12 diapers a day at first, so plan accordingly.
	WipesWhether you're going to buy wipes, make your own, or use a washcloth and warm water, you'll want to think ahead.
	Diaper rash creamBe prepared for rashes – some parents even apply a little cream before bed as a preventive measure.
	Diaper bag (多余：帮助Organization)Diaper bag designs have come a long way in recent years. Many models are now equal parts fashion accessory and baby gear carryall, so you can choose a style you love.
	Diaper pail and liners  (多余：免掉臭味满室的处境)Say adios to lingering diaper smells and mess with an airtight pail (also known as a diaper hamper). **有说Baby wipes warmer是多余的，只是让宝宝的屁股不会在冷天气时还要忍受冷温度的抹抹。呵呵，好好笑。

Baby gear

	Baby carrierA front carrier, baby sling, Mei Tai carrier, or wrap makes it easy for you to carry your baby with you. Find out more about baby carriers.
	StrollerA must-have for wheeling your baby around town. You can get as fancy or simple as you like. Find out more about strollers.
	Car seatProbably the most important baby product you'll purchase. Find out more about car seats.
	Portable crib or play yard (多余：帮助方便) Use it for overnights at Grandma's or as a safe, contained place for your baby to play at home or while traveling. Can also function as a bassinet.
	Stroller sack (多余：帮助取暖) These sleeping-bag-like sacks go over your baby's car seat or stroller to keep your little one warm when you're out and about.

多余：

Baby bath tub:
虽然宝宝浴盆方便多了，但是还是有很多父母选择用洗手盆或在浴盆上放泡沫垫以保安全。等宝宝五，六个月大了，可以买浴环和洗澡座位让宝宝坐着洗澡玩水也不怕危险。


Baby backpack: 
除非您喜好爬山玩水，否则婴儿背包没有那么需要，大家通常比较喜好＂前载体＂（front carrier）。不过，宝宝背包对宝宝在五，六个月大的时候也有它的好处，宝宝在这个时候可以支撑头的重量了，也可以抬头四处张望，背着宝宝可以让宝宝有机会看看世界，自己也可以比较轻易看见前面的阶梯，再者你也可以转头与宝宝视眼对望，与宝宝说说话，可以促进亲子关系。

Portable crib or play yard:
一个可以折叠，携带方便的婴儿床或宝宝游戏床可以带来很多的方便，不过却不算是必需品。

Stroller sack: 
如果住在偏冷的地方，这或许使得上，可以在车上或出外时为宝宝穿上取暖。如果不是的话，棉被应该可以保暖了。

Breastfeeding and bottle feeding

	Nursing/feeding pillow Designed to support your baby while you're nursing or bottle feeding.
	Breastfeeding accessories Lanolin ointment, hot/cold gel packs, and breast pads can all come in handy.
	Breast pump (if pumping) These can be as simple as a basic hand pump or as efficient as an electric, double-pumping model. Find out more about breast pumps.
	Pumping accessories You may need storage bags for breast milk, a cooler for transporting it, and ice packs to keep it cold.
	Burp cloths (6 to 12)
	Bottles (4 to 12)
	Bottle brushes (2)
	Formula (if formula feeding) Find out more about choosing formula.
	Bottle-drying rack  (多余) A handy, compact place to air-dry all those nipples and bottles (and later, sippy cup parts) after you wash them.
	Dishwasher basket for bottle parts   (多余) Allows you to run all your small bottle parts (like nipples and nipple rings) through the dishwasher rather than hand-washing them.
	Bottle warmer   (多余) You can use a bowl full of warm water to heat bottles of breast milk or formula, but a bottle warmer can be more convenient.

Feeding

	Highchair Look for a model that's easy to clean – you can count on food getting mushed into every crack. Find out more about highchairs.
	Bowls (3 to 5)
	Baby spoons (2 or 3)
	Sippy cups (3 to 5)
	Bibs (3 to 5) Waterproof or quick-drying kinds are useful, as are bibs with a pocket at the bottom to catch falling food.
	Splat mat This waterproof mat goes under your baby's highchair and protects your rug or floor from food spills.
	Baby food maker   (多余) You can make your own baby food easily with gadgets you probably have in your kitchen already, but some parents appreciate the ease of an all-in-one baby-food maker.

Baby soothers, toys, and entertainment

	Pacifiers (2 to 4) Some babies love them, some don't. For some parents and babies, these soothers are an essential item.
	Bouncy seat Also called a bouncer, these baby seats bounce up and down when your little one kicks or moves.
	Play mat/gym These are soft mats with baby toys that dangle from overhead. Young babies (who aren't mobile yet) have a ball staring and batting at the toys.
	Infant swing (多余) A good baby swing can be a lifesaver during the early weeks and months – some newborns are instantly pacified by the motion.
	Doorway jumper (多余) These spring-loaded seats are designed to hang in a doorway, allowing your baby to bounce independently.
	Activity center (多余) An activity center (also called a play saucer) keeps older babies propped upright safely in one place while they grab and manipulate various attached toys.
	Toys Your baby doesn't need a lot of fancy playthings, but it's nice to have a few rattles, musical toys, and soft toys at the ready.
	Books Chunky board books are a great way to start reading to your baby.

Infant swing: A freestanding swing gives you time to prepare a meal or just take a break while your baby rocks back and forth. Most babies outgrow these within four to six months, and not all babies take to them. But a good baby swing can be a lifesaver during the early weeks and months – some newborns are instantly pacified by the motion. For more information, see our buying guide for infant swings.

Doorway jumper: These spring-loaded seats are designed to hang in a doorway, allowing your baby to bounce independently. But doorway jumpers can fail – clamps fall and cables break – and bouncing babies can bang into the walls. Consumer Reports recommends a stationary activity jumper instead, which you should stop using once your baby can walk.

Activity center: An activity center (also called a play saucer) keeps older babies propped upright safely in one place while they grab and manipulate various attached toys. Some babies love these; some don't. They're most handy when your baby is around 6 to 10 months old, though they can be used from 4 to 12 months.

Sleeping

	Wearable blankets (2 or 3) These fleece or cotton sacks zip over your baby's sleepwear to keep him warm at night.
	Swaddling blankets (3) Many newborns love to be swaddled, and having a few blankets made just for this purpose can make your life much easier.
	White-noise machine (多余) Many babies sleep better – or fall asleep more easily – with the drone of soft "white noise" in the background.
	Nightlight (多余) Comes in handy for late-night diaper changes and feedings.
	Crib sheets (3 to 5) You don't need fancy bedding sets – and in fact, quilts, pillows, bumpers, and loose blankets don't belong in your baby's crib because they increase the risk of SIDS.
	Waterproof mattress pad (2) Protects the crib mattress from diaper leaks and other spills.

White-noise machine: Many babies sleep better, or fall asleep more easily, with the drone of soft "white noise" in the background. You can buy a freestanding white-noise machine or a stuffed animal with a noise machine enclosed inside.

Nightlight: It’s a soothing beacon in a dark room and a great distraction during diaper-changing.

Bathing

	Baby bathtub Many are designed to work from that first bath through toddlerhood and have handy features like a digital thermometer or sensor to make sure the bath water is the right temperature.
	Hooded bath towels (2)
	Washcloths (5 to 7)
	Baby shampoo or body wash

Nursery

	Changing table or pad You don't have to buy an official changing table, but you'll probably want to have some designated place for diaper changes.
	Crib and mattress Make sure to choose a safe and sturdy crib and a mattress that fits snugly inside. Find out more about cribs and crib mattresses.
	Bassinet or cradle Some parents prefer these to a full-size crib for the first three months or so.
	Glider or rocker (多余) A great place to soothe and feed your baby.
	Mobile (多余) They usually attach to your baby's crib, though you may want to fasten one near the changing table to distract your baby during diaper changes.

Glider or rocker: You can get by without one, but a glider or rocking chair comes in very handy during all those feedings and night wakings in your baby's first year. And if you get a good-quality model, you'll likely use it for years. Gliders and rockers morph from a comfy place to nurse or give a bottle to a cozy place to snuggle and read bedtime stories.

A glider is a great item to put on your baby shower registry (they're fairly expensive, so they make a good group gift).

Mobile: These feature moving toys or designs, sometimes accompanied by music, to mesmerize your young baby. They usually attach to your baby's crib, though some can be fastened near the changing table to distract your baby during diaper changes. One caution: If the mobile is attached to your baby's crib, you'll need to remove it for safety reasons when your child is 4 to 5 months old.

	Teething toysChewing on these can ease your baby's discomfort during teething.

	Baby nail scissors or clippersThese help you trim your baby's nails safely.
	Baby-friendly laundry detergentSome brands are specially formulated to be gentle on baby skin, although brands for sensitive skin are fine, too.
	A soft-bristled baby brushThis is especially helpful for handling cradle cap.
