After getting your babies home what items did you find yourself needing to run out to get or sending daddy to go get them. Maybe items people wouldn't really think of until you need them. Trying to get everything I need so we wont have to go out in the cold or snow! At least not for one or two little items :)

    Premie clothes. My baby weighed 6.14 and was 18.5 inches long. Newborn clothes didn't fit her.

    Clothes. Mine is small like @1stwoodsbaby but she's 20in and is too long for premie clothes, so we got safety pins for her newborn clothes.

    A bottle warmer because my milk supply is low so I had to also get formula. Gas drops, different type of bottles because he's a gassy baby so we switched to playtex drop-ins.

  • sweet1sweet1
    Preemie clothes and preemie diapers. Slow flow nipples, nipple shield (baby didn't like toblatch), and a formula holder for the diaper bag (we had to go out everyday for the first few days she was home so I needed that quick)

    My pedi said not to use gas drops til 3 months. For gas we were told 2oz chamomile tea in 2oz formula or breastmilk. Obviously the newborn won't be eating 4oz but any bit s/he takes in I assume would help. It helps my son. And if you're formula feeding the nursery water should be fluoride-free. Otherwise we needed more 4x4 gauze pads and surgilube for his penis, side snap onesies..in fact LOTS of onesies in general, lots of rectangular (not square) receiving blankets they're easier to use in swaddling...also the round formula travel storage container I found to be useless bc it didn't fit well in my bag at all, but similac sells travel "on-the-go" packs of powdered formula they're 4oz but that's how it comes. Very useful IMO. A cold weather "boot" for the infant carrier. Socks!
