Man, you have pretty much covered!!! Just wanted to ask of you considered a nasal aspirator. I also didn't see any baby socks or hats and I think you kinda need those in the early days. And, you may need a few more wipes. I used a full pack with the meconium.

Great list Jessie! Just wanted to caution you on the infant ibufrofen drops. Double check with your Dr on when it is safe to use them. I work in a pediatric ICU and our Docs wont order it for babies less than 6 months. A couple of our docs wont even order it until they are at least 1 yr. New babies have immature kidneys and it can do damage.

^^ditto I was going to say that also
And for the gas drops---if you get the mylicon ones be warned they can cause constipation. An alternative is Gripe Water this is new favorite medicine! (works for troy we found out also!) But it helps with gas...plus icky tummy plus hiccups....Its a MUST IMO.

Thanks ladies. I just bought the ibuprofen because I was over in the states, and it's sold over the counter. Will definitely not be using it before 1 yr- it doesn't expire for several years. Anglela, I don't think I can buy gripe water over here in Germany... or at least I haven't figured out the translation yet

Ok...I've heard of Gripe water on JM....but I've never seen it in stores. Where do you get this stuff?

[soImarriedAnerd]

Its in the pharmacy section of walmart (thats where I get mine). I have seen it at Walgreens, BRU, even when I get groceries. It normally next to the gas-x Here is the kind I currently have- Little Tummys Gripe Water - 4oz. - MedTech - Toys "R" Us

[soImarriedAnerd]

The brand that I normally get but I need right away and they don't sell it at common stores is Gripe Water by Colic Calm, Product Information and Ingredients
They deliver internationally!!!

Wow, thanks Angela. I guess I just never looked hard enough. I dont think my mom ever used this, but I'm going to get some for sure! I've heard great things about it.

[soImarriedAnerd]

Yeah we were out of gas-x for my lactose intolerant hubby last night and I made a 8lb lasagna (6lbs of it was cheese!) and he was hurting...he used it and says it worked better then the gas-x! So now he wants me to find the adult version! LOL

Wow! Can you repost that in say... 7 to 8 months?? I went to copy it to a word file and save it on my computer, but then I remembered I can't because I'm on DH's work laptop! Fooey.
