Q: I am in my last trimester of my first pregnancy. Do you have a list of items I should have at home when I arrive home with my baby?
A: You will need baby clothing, baby care items and baby equipment for your baby. The equipment, such as a safe crib with fitted crib sheets, a Canadian safety approved car seat, and a stroller or carrier if you plan to walk with your baby. Baby care items such as a baby thermometer, diaper cream (such as petroleum jelly), baby comb, baby nail clippers and an oral dropper for giving any drugs. Baby clothing such as sleepers, undershirts (often called ‘onesies’), newborn size diapers, sweaters, a hat, and receiving blankets. If it is late fall or winter include a snowsuit and winter hat.
