When should I stock up on stuff?

Question

Like what should I stock up on and when ? I'm 33 weeks and kinda getting anxious that I don't have what I need. 
How many diapers should I stock up on? When should I buy wipes, what toys should I get ? And what all will I need for the baby's bath??

Answer

The only things I've stocked up on are paper towels, toilet paper, tissues and other household goods--nothing directly related to baby, but figure it will be more difficult to just run out for things.

Answer

I haven't gone mad on stocking up. I have enough nappies for a good few days and some water wipes for a newborn plus a box of wipes. Then nappy rash, baby wash, cotton wool etc plus basic clothes. People tend to give in UK once they are born. But nearer time I plan to make sure cupboards are stocked with quick easy food like jars and pasta, cat food, loo roll and full shampoo, shower gel, soap et c so at least first few days we should be set and then can send visitors or hubby for small fresh food top ups xx

Answer

Start now !! It won't blow the budget if you shop at little at a time versus waiting until the baby comes

Answer

I've got 5 boxes of newborn diapers and 4 boxes of size 1 diapers plus 2 big refill boxes of wipes. (I can only use huggies since I'm allergic to other kinds) if you keep all the receipts or buy everything from Walmart you can always take back and exchange for different sizes of diapers. I have some baby bath soap and lotion. The night time baby bath soap was a life saver for my son to help soothe him before bed. So we've got 3 bottles of it.

Answer

I'm not really stocking up on things. I think I have plenty of newborn diapers and I have some baby shampoo and things like that for bath time. I do want to buy a few more onesies. I hardly got any clothing for baby at my showers. But honestly I figure whatever I end up needing once the baby is here will become clear and I'll have my husband pick up on his way home from work or ask my mom, sister, MIL or visitors to pick things up for me. I'm trying to just go with the flow and ask for help when I need it. No need to kill myself with worry and stress these last couple of weeks.

Answer

Honestly i wouldnt really "stock up" on things because every baby is different. Your baby might be allergic to certain things so i'd say get maybe a few different brands of wipes and diapers and trial size shampoos. You will need ALOT of wash cloths. Theyre great & have a lot of uses but again your baby might have sensitive skin and you may only be able to use certain materials. Its a pain having to go out and shop with a newborn but its also a pain to have a ton of things you cant use.

Answer

I'm taking a chance on my kid not having skin allergies and wanted to have enough of everything to last me through my 8 weeks off. So I have a lot of wipes, diapers  newborn through size 2, clothes, bath soaps, lotions, some diaper rash creme, and random items. Closer to my due date I will stock up the house on items and food!
