Swings, walkers, jumpers, exersaucers – ditto, above. Bouncy seat – will not “make life easier” in the long run because it creates a dependency on being upright that makes it harder to establish the habit of independent play and interferes with natural gross motor developmentĢ. Sleep sack – so your baby can be cozy without being confinedġ. Diaper bag – definitely nice and convenient, but any bag will doģ. Baby bathtub – I used the kitchen sink mostly, but some people prefer the small tubĢ. Blankets, diapers, washcloths, bottles (if you will use them)ġ. Sofa or chair for a comfortable feeding placeĩ. Playpen or gated play space – creating safe play spaces is a vital necessity for independent playħ.

Changing table – as large as possible (with rails for maximum safety) to allow an older infant/toddler to move and re-positionĤ. Bassinet – cozy for babies and convenient for parents in the first months for night feedingsģ. Crib (or not, depending on your desired sleeping arrangement)Ģ.

This is a list for parents who want to enable their baby to develop gross motor skills naturally, encourage independent play, and make care-giving activities ( diaper changes, feedings, etc.) enjoyable opportunities for relationship building.ġ. As far as I know, one doesn’t exist, so I’m jumping in first to give you my list, but I hope this doesn’t discourage other parents and educators from sharing theirs. What a great idea – a RIE- based new baby checklist. I’m just trying to get to the meat of it and figure out what we will really need (such as a crib) as opposed to what “makes life easier” (such as a bouncy seat).ĭoes anyone have any good resources for a RIE-centered checklist of sorts, telling my husband and I what we can’t live without? Or, parents out there, what did you find indispensable, and what did you buy or receive that you didn’t use or found counter to this philosophy? My sister just had her first child in July, and she and my mother have offered a lot of advice to me (with the best of intentions). I find that I’m overwhelmed trying to determine what our little one will truly “need”, versus what mainstream parenting says we need. Hello all! I’m a first-time poster, and an expectant mother!
