What Are Things You Buy Before Baby Shower?

Question

Hello I am 30 weeks as today and I want to start buying things for my baby but my husband and mom are like wait until baby shower to buy things I don't get, but I want to start getting my baby bag and my hospital bag together. What are some things you have brought so far before your baby shower and what to pack in baby bag and your hospital bag?

Answer

Buy whatever you want. You can return it or return the baby shower gifts if you get duplicates.

Answer

Buy things you'll need for yourself. People usually only buy things for the baby.

Answer

I would definitely start now or you are going to have to buy everything at once and spend a lot more money. Don't get everything but the big stuff you know you won't get and clothes. You can start packing your hospital bag anytime now.

Answer

I bought all of the bid things like the crib, car seat and stroller. I just didn't want to go out and buy those things after the shower. Plus I didn't want to put big items on my registry. Some of my friends were not happy about this because they wanted to buy those things lol

Answer

I bought my own diaper bag because I wanted to pick it out myself. First baby, we did big stuff like crib, furniture, room decor, etc. I only had 3 outfits when we had our shower. After shower, we had hundreds. Lol seriously we had more than she could ever wear. That and baby shampoo/lotion. No one will go through 15 bottles of baby lotion in a lifetime, much less in the 2 years or so you actually use it. We also got a lot of burp clothes and blankets. My mom also got us the stroller/car seat combo. However, stuff we didn't get that I was rounding up at the last minute were things like gas drops, gripe water, boogie wipes, paci wipes, munchkin trash bags for dirty diapers, a diaper genie (and yes I still it even though my 2yo is fully potty trained), water proof mattress cover for crib and my bed, etc.

So this round, I bought a few cute newborn onesies/gowns that I liked (believe it or not I ran out of newborn clothes people like to gift 0-3 month sizes more frequently, and we were in NB for 6-8 weeks with #1). The diaper bag again. Some of the smaller stuff mentioned above. Diapers. Wipes. I'm getting some personalized outfits made for hospital now. (I like to pick out some of that myself.) We bought an additional car seat. But since we are having the same gender I haven't needed to buy much. We are having a much smaller shower/sprinkle with close friends and family and I except if to be mainly clothes.

Answer

Buy the crib changing table and chair and dresser or whatever else for your nursery furniture wise.

Answer

Nipple cream, nipple pads, breathless storage bags, mittens, socks, hats, plain white onesies, baby towels. A few things I've purchased anyways! It seems like these are a few items that are forgotten at showers.

Answer

I would save up money and buy after shower... I bought a lot before my shower with my son and I got duplicates....if you do buy now save receipts just incase you need to return something.
