Answer

it depends... if you're having a shower with a decent amount of people i'd wait until the shower. i did.
but if you're on a budget or not having a shower i'd start buying stuff after finding out the sex

Answer

Answer

I started buying stuff around 25 weeks.

Answer

I'm one of those panic and nervous stricken new moms. Had 2 miscarriages before this and am currently 18weeks 3 days. I know it's silly to think that something may go wrong but for some reason I feel like if I go out and start buying now and something happens it's going to make it so much harder to accept. I know I need to relax and realize what will happen will happen regardless but I can't help it.

Answer

Answer

Our shower was super early because we wanted to do it coed and include my husband' family --- the weather is usually too bad for them to come our way in the winter time (we were right) so my registry was done by the end of our first trimester, the shower was at the end of our second, we got everything we lacked on Black Friday, and we were done by the early/middle of our last trimester.

The first thing I got was a knit stuffed rabbit off Etsy and a wooden camera teether to announce (I'm a photographer) :) it arrived at the end of our first trimester.

We didn't know the gender when we started our registry but that was intentional --- I'm a total minimalist and wanted to reuse clothes for future pregnancies.

The most valuable things we have include the Ergo 360, boba wrap, and Sakura Bloom... I'm glad we had a few bottles but we added to our stash when breastfeeding was a bust. 5 4oz bottles will hold you over as a "just in case" --- but more after you know your kid. We added a bottle warmer and other bottle feeding things after we knew him.

People will give you SO many clothes after their arrival... if you don't have enough from your shower buy them later. Same with blankets.

All babies really need to come home to is warmth (blanket and clothes), food (a few bottles but otherwise your boobs --- get lanolin before you deliver!), safety (a safe place to sleep, either a cosleeper or a bassinet... and a car seat) and stimulation (it's as simple as talking to them and taking them on walks --- the Ergo amazes him).

Search for "minimalist baby registry" online and start there. Also look for "simple families" the website and Facebook group --- it makes you feel like you don't need "all the things"

Answer

We bought the crib by 8 weeks, the dresser and glider by 10 weeks and then we started the registry and bought other little things at 20 weeks when we found out the gender.

Answer

I'm new as well, but don't start buying till you know the gender, you can start buying stuff for you, like new bra and legging and etc you know, things that you know going to get big, like my breadth are getting big and I'm only 6 weeks
