To meet a the new born baby, mothers are generally prepared to have a lot of baby supplies, I have seen a lot of related books as a reference and listed all the supplies.
But,because I will be a new mother, something I also don’t know how to dealing with, such as the new baby clothes for which if I should prepare some cotton-padded clothes or some thin clothes ,for the baby will come to this world on the winter. Also, will let the baby to have a sleep on mum’s bed or have her own bed ?which is better for her and me?

Re: Hope to hear some suggestions from the experienced mothers.
how about experienced fathers? I am one, and I can tell you the following:
Baby clothes -- most of the time your baby is going to be inside during beijing's winter, and most apartments here are pretty warm. some things to consider are: lots of thin layers (this way you can add/subtract to suit your baby's temperature)
In terms of keeping the little one warm, I'd suggest that you get a thermometer with a humidity gage to hang prominently near where the baby sleeps. The thermometer I have shows the "comfort zone" so that you can accurately judge whether the room is too cold/too hot and too dry/too humid for the baby.
Beijing's dry winters are what you need to think about rather than the temperature ... i'd suggest a humidifier for this purpose.
As for where the baby sleeps, it's a matter of personal choice. Some parents want their child sleeping independently as soon as possible. Others enjoy having the little one snuggling with mom and dad in bed.
Advantages of baby sleeping in a crib: you have more room in your bed.
Advantages of baby sleeping in your bed: easier to breastfeed, calm baby in the night without the need to get up and go to the crib.

Thanks a lot for the experienced father!
i think the thermometer is one of our Necessities, our heating system is not very good ,there is only 18 degree or under during the winter.so it will help a lot for us.

Another note from a father about where baby sleeps. If your baby becomes used to only sleeping in the bed, then the parents will never again be an intimate couple. Just two sleeping adults divided by a baby. Just something to consider if you feel romantic with your partner.

I have heard from a friend that if the children used to sleep with his mother , later it's a little difficulties to cultivate the habit of the children 'sleeping in her own bed ,even in her own room. She's very scared to be lone.
so, i have prepared a little bed with a cradle for my baby beside me. When she woke up at night, it is necessary to pick up the baby or I can shake the cradle for her sense of security.
