Here's the list for the basket we are giving new parents..
Recap: Hubby's coworker adopted a baby girl born 8/11. Flew to UT and got her, is currently driving home with her. They were utterly unprepared. Were on the list less than 3 weeks when they were chosen. They have NOTHING.
Office folks are putting together a basket. Here's the list so far:
California baby sensitive lotion? Waterproof pads Shoulder pads for the carseat Soothie pacifiers Paci holder Paci clip “My family” picture frame Aquafur tub (for cuts, scrapes, rash, baby acne, etc) Destin Cottonballs (for cleaning the face and under the chin) Deft PEN bathwash (?) powder thermometer bulb seringe nail clipper receiving blankets bottles nuk pacifiers dreft or tide free detergent burping cloths comb microwave sanitizer bags bottle brush formula hand mixer onsies socks
Can you think of anything else?

Hats, incase they bring her out in the sun at all
Maybe some formula too, to get them started?

How about some sleepers? DS lived in footy sleepers until he was a few months old.

Re: Here's the list for the basket we are giving new parents..
Thank you EVERYONE
I dont think they need a tub. They've been living in a hotel with her since she was born. I'm pretty sure that next to a car seat the first thing they got was a tub.
I dont think a basket will FIT this anymore frankly. I think I may suggest we get a storage bin instead so she can use that later, too.
whatcha think about that?

I think a storage bin is a great idea. They'll always be able to use it...
What about maybe even just throwing in a gift card or something, if you wanted to add more. This way, when they get settled and figure out things they actually want, they can go pick it up. Just a thought!

I think some of that stuff is a waste: microwave sanitizer, paci clips, hand mixer.
I would go for more necessities like DIAPERS infant tylenol/motrin

Re: Here's the list for the basket we are giving new parents..
My friend got her baby from Utah (best state when terminating parental rights!).
She didn't want anything in the house before flying out in case it didn't work out
I would throw in a baby monitor & see if she registered.
Is work throwing her a shower?
How old is the baby? My friend had her daughter at 4 days old so she was just sponging her off per hospital instructions.

Re: Here's the list for the basket we are giving new parents..
We have about half a box of unopened wipes (Pampers Sensitive) that we'll be putting in.
She's a teacher. I don't know about her folks offering a shower. School hasn't started. Not even sure if she's gonna go back right away since she'll have the baby at home.

Def some sleep & play outfits. A boppy pillow would be nice, though possibly too large for the bin.

miracle blanket
saline nose drops and aspirator -- I will NEVER forget the 4 AM trip my husband took to the pharmacy to get this while DD was a newborn and was making such horrible noises when breathing.
