Do you think i’m taking it too far? lol or I still need more or what? Help me, I’m a first time mom!

Here’s what I think of your list (as the mother of two boys myself):
-You will need lots of diapers but I would recommend only one bag of newborn and then a bunch of sized one. He’ll wear newborn for two weeks, if that, but size one should last until he’s a few months old.
-I’ve never used hand mitts for either of my boys. If you keep his nails trimmed, there shouldn’t be a problem.
-Nail clippers are a definite essential. I like the kind that look like mini adult clippers, because the ones with the finger guard are hard to handle and you are more likely to cut the baby with the safety ones.
- Onesies are another essential. You need at least one weeks worth of each size. I don’t know where you live but I’m the mother of two boys born in the summer in FL so both of my boys lived in onesies. They’re great for layering when the weather gets cold too.
- Wipes: get as many as you want. You will be using them for the next few years. It’s cheaper to buy one tub and then refill it and get the scents to cover any smell. Trust me.
- Blankets depend on where you are. I have one thick one and a few thick receiving blankets. Thin receiving blankets don’t really do much.
-Burp cloths are something that I have never used. You never have one when you need it, so I just use a washcloth or a cloth diaper
- Diaper bags are optional. I have one but I found that it was easier to just throw a few extra things in my purse than it was to pack a whole other bag. I breastfed though so I didn’t need a lot to go out.
- I would not have survived without pacifiers. I like Avent Orthodontic, because they’re a good shape for the baby’s mouth and won’t effect how his teeth will grow in.
- wash cloths are another essential. You’ll need at least seven, depending on how often you wash them.
- Baby lotion is one of those things that you need to smell before you buy. I have bought some that you would have thought would smell good but ended up being horrible.
- I like the cream or gel baby oil instead of the liquid. It is a lot less mess.
- Vaseline is to prevent diaper rash but if you change his diaper often, it won’t be necessary. I rarely use it. But if you get it, get it in the tube. Much less mess.
- You should have one brush and one comb. Baby hair is pretty low maintainance.
- Baby powder is another diaper rash prevention method. I use it occasionally and I actually found a roll-on liquid baby powder that I love!
- Thermometer is a must have. I like the kind that reads the forehead, because you don’t have to fight with the baby to get and hold the other thermometers in place and you can check the temp when the baby is sleeping and not wake him up. I got mine at walgreens.
- When I have to use bottles, I like the Playtex drop in system. It was the only bottle that let you get the air out of the bottle so the baby doesn’t get gas. and clean up is so easy. Just throw the liner away and wash the nipple and you’re good to go. It’s the only bottle I use!
- Baby towels are only used for so long. It’s usually easier to use a thinner bath towel and the baby doesn’t mind as long as he gets dry.
- For a baby bath, look for simple design. Don’t go for baby bath slings, they are a pain in the butt and it’s easier to just use the tub. Look for a drain that is as close to the bottom as possible.
- A crib is not a must have. I know that a lot of parents use them but I never had the money for one and my boys didn’t have the patience for one. I used the bassinet attachment for my playpen and I loved having him right next to my bed. Then both boys went into the actual playpen, which made it really easy at nap time too. Then at around a year my eldest went into a toddler bed (still in my room though until he was two). I was one of those kids who would scream when I was put in a crib and my boys were the same way. But if you do get a crib, you’ll need a crib mattress cover, which is a padded sheet that softens the mattress and will soak up anything he messes on the bed. You don’t need a plastic sheet because the mattresses are already vinyl coated so anything just slips off of them.
-Socks are good to get in a variety of sizes. Your baby might not fit into newborn when he is born and need 0-3 months or even 3-6 months. My son had big feet and didn’t fit into any of his socks or shoes that were size newborn
-Definitely a coat for a winter baby. But I would say to get 0-3 months instead of newborn, because boys especially grow very fast in the first few months.
- A car seat is a necessity. They won’t let you leave the hospital without making sure you have one. I like the kind that have a base for in the car and also fit into a stroller (a travel system). I have a convertible car seat for my older boy and it has lasted him 2 1/2 years, so it’s a good investment if you want to go that route. FYI the convertible ones tend to be heavy and hard to move around.
- Hats definitely. Lots of caps, especially if he’ll be outside in the wi

there’s no such thing as a "toy" yorkie. Yorkies come in ONE SIZE ONLY.. there’s no "minis" "toys" "teacups" or any other such sizes.

Yorkies are 7 pds or less.

You have things on your list you dont really need.

You dont need "shed reducer".. yorkies dont shed much, and that stuff is just a gimmick anyways. A high quality diet and daily brushing is all you need

Dont really need coat conditioner unless you plan to show and need to upkeep a long coat.. otherwise just a high quality diet and regular grooming is enough

You dont need potty pads.. those only teach your puppy to pee in the house, and just confuse your puppy when you try to teach it to pee outside later

Dont really need cologne.. a dog that is kept groomed and fed a good diet does not get stinky

housebreaking aids dont work as well as people think they do either.. cross that off your list.. all you need to do is take the puppy out often enough before it needs to potty.. use a good cleaner meant for pet messes to clean any accidents

Styptic powder is nice to have, but is rarely used.. in a pinch, regular flour can be used… if you have the extra to budget for that, its ok, but its one thing that isnt 100% necessary.

Clicker is only necessary if you plan to use that method of training.

Puppy books are nice to have, but you can also easily find books at your local library on puppy care..

I would not buy an expensive pet bed yet.. there’s a good chance your pup may chew, or have an accident.. use an old blanket or towel

Personally I’d get the flea and tick products thru your vet.. many that are sold in stores are garbage. Some of the bigger petshops do carry the frontline and advantage.. but I’d stay away from the hartz, top spot, etc… brands that are typically found in the grocery stores are not effective, and many are dangerous.

Choose a mild conditioning shampoo for your puppy.. dont buy a flea shampoo.. you dont want to over-do the flea products.. remember any time you use chemicals on your dog, they are absorbed by the skin.. you want to limit the exposure as much as possible.

Dont forget heartworm preventative, which you can get thru your vet.. do also have a vet in mind before you get your puppy!

Okay, so i am buying a lot of supplies to do my own acrylic nails. Now, i found a UV lamp, and it says for gel…well if i apply a gel top coat, is it okay to use that lamp? Because my nail salon that i go to uses pink and white powder but they add a gel top coat. I just dont want to buy the wrong thing.

Yes, the Gel UV lamp are for Gel nails… aka, the gel topcoat.
