Can you believe it? You\u2019re in the final stretch and baby could arrive any day now. Whether you\u2019re due in a month or in a week or two, it\u2019s a perfect time to stock up on necessities so that you\u2019re not running to the store after baby arrives. Preparing for baby can be a lot of work, but we have helpful suggestions on everything you’ll want ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bathroom<\/b><\/h4>\n

Trust us when we say you <\/span>don\u2019t<\/span><\/i> want to run out of these items. Wouldn\u2019t it be terrible to wake up at 3 a.m. for a feeding to find out you\u2019re out of toilet paper? Make sure you stock up on these necessities and store them in those bathroom cabinets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paper goods.<\/span><\/i> Stock up on the obvious, like toothpaste, but don\u2019t forget those maxi pads. You\u2019ll be so glad you have them once you\u2019re home from the hospital. Plus, with guests stopping by to see you and the baby, toilet paper can run out quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toiletries.<\/span><\/i> Grab extras of things like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deodorant and body soap. These are things you\u2019ll forget you need until you\u2019re completely out. And when you\u2019re up with baby and recovering, you won\u2019t want to be running to the store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baby Items<\/b><\/h4>\n

If this isn\u2019t your first baby, then you know how necessary it is to stock up on baby\u2019s supplies at home. If this is your first, take our word for it, you\u2019ll run through diapers, wipes and baby powder like it\u2019s your job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the lesser known necessities like diaper cream and baby wash. It\u2019ll help you breathe easier knowing you have everything you need on hand.<\/p>\n

Medicine<\/b><\/h4>\n

This is something many forget about in the bustle of preparing for baby. But when you or dad come down with a migraine or heartburn, you\u2019ll want to be sure to have Tylenol and Tums on hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go ahead and grab ibuprofen and bandaids while you\u2019re at it, too. With medicine, it\u2019s always better safe than sorry. If your family has prescription meds, now is a good time to make sure everyone is up to date.<\/p>\n

Kitchen<\/b><\/h4>\n

Having a stocked kitchen before you go into labor will be an absolute lifesaver when you come home from the hospital. Trust us when we say you won\u2019t want to be cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stock the freezer.<\/span><\/i> Fill your freezer with healthier frozen foods–think frozen veggies, chicken and fruit. Anything that has been frozen at the peak of freshness is great for you and your family, and can be heated quickly in the microwave or oven. And go ahead and grab some frozen pizzas too, there will be times you\u2019ll just deserve it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stock the pantry.<\/span><\/i> Now is a good time to start stocking up on snacks you love. Of course you\u2019ll be slipping some into your hospital bag, but stash some in your pantry as well for random hunger cravings or midnight snacks while baby feeds. Things like pasta, tea and coffee are great to stock up on now as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anything you can do ahead of baby\u2019s arrival will be a huge relief for you once you come home from the hospital. Preparing for baby can be a daunting task, but our checklist should keep you in great shape for your household.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
