when should you start buying baby stuff for your unborn child

Question

I want to buy stuff for my unborn child now that my wife is 4 months but she not ready to but stuff .....when did some people start buying stuff

Answer

Wife's not pregnant yet but we've been buying things for years

Answer

Soon as you know

Answer

The first thing we bought was a crib, about two weeks after I found out I was pregnant. We were gifted two infant car seats, a swing, a rocker and a walker by my friends that same month. We did not buy anything else until after the baby shower, at which we had enough clothing to last until about 6 months. Our son was in newborn diapers for almost seven weeks, and we only had to buy one box of that size since we had plenty from the shower. We didn't buy much until after he was born since our big ticket item was the crib. We are about to hire a cloth diaper service to save from buying diapers, well just need wipes. I breastfeed so we don't need formula at this time. I got my breast pump from Edgewood.com two or three months before my son's birth day. I have been buying lanolin and milk storage bags, and for our next baby, will buy these in advance. Also, we use A&D ointment, and bag balm for as a preventative for diaper chafing which can cause rashes. We don't need toys, movies or stuff like that. We will be overwhelmed with that at Christmas and his 1st birthday. I don't want to be overwhelmed with clutter. But I obsess at thrift stores for awesome pictures of animals for his walls, and I shop at half price books clearance for building his library!

Some people like to buy way in advance, but my mother in law kept saying wait till after the baby shower. Do whatever you want, we didn't buy anything until I was pregnant. I didn't even know what I did or didn't need until our son was born, I have stuff I won't use..

Answer

We've been buying stuff for about 10 years now and don't have any kids yet. Although my wife was pregnant once but it wasn't by me. We had been married for 5 years at that point when she got pregnant. She said sometimes women can just get pregnant without having sex. I believed her.

Answer

After 3 months🙂 best to start early & gradually get things

Answer

I started buying baby stuff til I was about 6-7 months pregnant with my son.

Answer

I'd say anytime, she may be wanting gender specific stuff and to do an overhaul STAT once she knows, but you could start buying blankets, diapers, wipes, maybe one of those tactical baby gears for you to carry with your wee one, you know a little mommy gift might be nice right now or for when baby arrives, maybe get yourself a present too after all you helped but a baby in there.

Answer

I was buying stuff before we even started trying to get pregnant. Whenever you both feel is the right time. Sit down and talk with her about it

Answer

Buy diapers, blankets, diaper rash cream..
