Diaper Wipe What else will we need for newborn grooming/diaper changes?
Hey there. First time parents, and here is what we already have:
wipes
diaper rash cream
baby lotion
baby body wash
baby oil
cotton squares
nail clippers
baby brush
Can you suggest anything else? We are set with the first aid stuff and medicine, just wanted to make sure we are well stocked with the grooming supplies. Thanks!
Yeah, I forgot to mention: we do have diapers, baby tub, towels, washcloths, all of that jazz. Thanks!
I like using a very-fine grade nail file for the nails instead of clippers - you might consider it. That way there is no possibility of cutting them if they wiggle while you are doing it -even cutting nails when baby is sleeping can be tricky.
Many drs still recommend cleaning around teh umbilical cord stump with rubbing alcohol. It is a useful thing to have in any case
I agree that you will probably want vaseline at some pt - or one step better is a very thick vaseline called Aquaphor. Our dr recommended it for treating dry skin (which many babies have), and it can also be used as diaper rash cream/barrier. I tihnk it is def. worth having from the start
A nose bulb syringe is also good to have for congestion. I don't know if I would count that as medical or grooming or what.
I also didn't see baby shampoo on your list, though it is very similar to baby body wash and you could probably use either.
Otherwise it sounds like you pretty much have it covered!

Ease Your Worries with a Portable Diaper Changing Station
A portable diaper changing station with its built in sinks and water supply takes all the tension away from ensuring that your baby stays clean and dry even when you need to leave home for long periods of time. All you need is a proper place to put the baby down and change his/her diaper and a portable diaper changing station does just that. It provides adequate space to enable the baby to lie down and in most cases carries a strap to tie the baby to prevent him from rolling off and falling on the floor.
Essentials of a Portable Diaper Changing Station
Not only does a baby feel happier and more comfortable in a fresh diaper, keeping on wet or dirty diapers can lead to infections and rashes. But one can't just change a diaper anywhere, one has to have a spare diaper, a proper place to put the baby down, a towel or diaper wipes and some medicated cream in case the baby has a rash. A portable diaper changing station is ideal for all this and contains various shelves for storage.
A portable diaper changing station may have steps if the baby is big enough to climb up or it may be without stairs for smaller babies who need to be placed on the changing table. In most cases the diaper changing stations include a table that has mattress changing pads that are raised on both sides to prevent the baby from rolling down. The raised edges keep the baby safe while the mother or caretaker goes about with the task of changing the diaper quickly. A diaper changing station should be attractive, safe and durable.
The portable diaper changing stations offered by MONSAM Enterprises are not only attractive but have inbuilt systems for both cold and hot water. The company offers portable diaper changing stations in varied sizes and models to suit the requirements of babies and kindergarten kids. The model PSE-2010 comes in five colors, has aluminum bars as frames with walls made of solid plastic and a stainless steel sink that can be cleaned easily.
