What do I buy for myself and my baby?

Question

I'm an expectant mother. I've just found out I was pregnant 2 days ago and I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I have no idea whatsoever what to buy for myself and my baby. This is my first baby and its a girl. Me and my husband only bought a stroller, rocker, car seat and a crib. I don't know where to start. Help!

Answer 4

congrats!!

The basic things you need at first are a crib, dresser, stroller, baby hangers, pacifiers (if baby uses them), diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, clothes, car seat, swing or baby seat, bottles, and formula if you don't plan to breastfeed. Some optional things are a pack and play, these are nice to have if you get the ones with the built bassinet, or if you travel a lot or have house with an upstairs, it's easier to let the baby lay in there and also good for changing diapers. If you do plan to breastfeed though, you may need to buy a breast pump, the electric ones are good if your child is going into daycare or you plan on going back to work. The manual ones take longer.

The basic clothes that you must have when you are first starting out are onsies, sleepers, bibs, socks, blankets, wash clothes, and outfits. You only need a couple of each of this if you can only afford a few of each, but you will be doing laundry more often.

Answer 5

a baby shower gets you most of the imp stuff...and everytime you go to the store you should commit to buying a pack of diapers and baby wipes to stock up for when she arrives!!!!
