Do NOT Go Buying Baby Bouncers & Stuff Until The Baby Needs It. I Would Say Make Sure You Have A Car Seat, Stroller, Bassinet/Crib, Protective Lining In It, Baby Swaddlers, Plenty Of Onesies, A Thermometer, A Nose Bulb, Pacifiers?, Just Basic Stuff. DON'T GO SPENDING Tons Of Money On This & That To Keep Up With The Jones's.
cot, bottles, steriliser, clothes, towels, toiletries, baby bath, just a few toys, and good to have are a play gym and bouncer but there not essential
Do you guys think a stroller is a must? We don't go very many places that don't have shopping carts. Isa crib a must or is a play pack one more ffunctional?
Also - if you are on low budget (mentioning this only because you were talking about things being a money pit) - I would recommend e-bay. Honestly, after 3 weeks of hunting, we got Mamas & Papas 2 in 1 pram for newborn and older only for 10£. It's in ridicously good condition, clean, fresh, just a few scratches and bit worn out tires. Also, there are these special "tables" for diaper changing and they are awfully expensive -
- dont buy those, because you can change the diaper succesfully anywhere, as long as it is safe, rigid place.
Crib, diapers, wipes, rash cream, bath stuff, MITTENS !, hats, clothes, receiving blankets, gas relief medicine for colics. Blankets, car seat, you wont need a stroller for a couple weeks or months.
Cribs are much more convenient than playpen.. a playpen is also nowhere near as comfy as a crib, and most cribs can convert to a toddler bed so u can use it for a few years... you can get a number relatively cheap.. a stroller is kinda important if you want to go on a walk or to a mall and not carry baby the whole time.
A crib, Diapers, Wipes, car seat, onesies, clothes, mittens, bath tub and essentials. I wouldn't get toys yet they're too little that's my opinion. Blankets and receiving blankets. Everything else you can get it when you need it.
Thank you guys! Been a bunch of help so far!
