Here are some of the things we panic bought after baby arrived that I would consider lifesavers. a massive pill organizer for all the post c-section pain meds. pack of sharpies and these labels for bottles and Tupperware. Seriously you will be labeling every thing!!!! https://a.co/d/0ho3aXDy a digital clock with red light display for the nursery. microwave sterilization bags like those from Dr browns for bottles and pump parts (even if youre exclusively breastfeeding). a Plane ticket for my dad to come retrieve my overexcited mother who was making things worse. 3 sessions with a post partum doula - seriously it was like having mary Poppins in my house. lacatation support, all the lactation support Things that were not useful: prepared food, baby had dairy and soy allergy which 30 % will have. None of my freezer food was safe for me to eat. I hear it was delicious per my husband. newborn clothes. The baby was dressed in clothes only when taken to the doctor. You need like 2 outfits max. The rest of the time will be in a swaddle and by the time you leave the hospital you will be a pro at blanket swaddling. sounds machine and susher, not useful for newborn. Things that might be useful but hold off and see if necessary: a baby pulse ox monitor like owlet. Only purchase if your anxiety is preventing you from sleeping and you decide with your partner that you can handle the frequent and inevitable false alarms.
