baby thermometer - can be expensive, but try getting the one you just press on the forehead and it takes the temp in like 5 seconds. As bubba gets older it's a struggle to get them to stay still with the thingy under the arm for the minute that it takes. Especialy when they are a bit wriggly, because they are not feeling well.
Some gripe water (if you are going to use that) just in case. Better to have than to look for it at a 24 hour chemist at 3am
Waterproof matress coversYes, even if they don't pee it wet, they can vomit ... You will need about three. One in the wash, one on the matress and one for that 2am emergency ... they do happen. I once had to change the bedding FOUR times in one night
Did someone say spitrags yet?? I had like 10 toweling nappies that I used for spitrags. Lifesavers, always have one at arms-length.
Can't really think of anything else ... a fan heater to keep bubba's room nice and toasty? Could be a lifesaver when breastfeeding at night.
PHONENUMBERS!!! Write down the numbers of the hospital, ABA, a midwife, the pead sel number .. anyone that you can call at night and stick it near the phone. You will notice that I put a lot of emphasis on nighttime, but that is when things get really out of hand sometimes.
Goodluck and ENJOY your bundel!!
