Before a child is born, what essential items should be prepared for the baby?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Baby bottles, nipples, specialized rubber spoons, a box of cotton swabs (infant), small package of powdered milk; a small bowl (convenient for feeding newborns)
A pack of infant wet wipes, several diapers, infant clothes and hats (3 sets) (many hospitals require swimming for the baby every day for the first three days, so you need to prepare extra clothes in advance)
Infant blanket, towel blanket, small blanket or sleep sack (quantity depends on the season)
A box of baby powder
