What did you wish you bought or use when you had your baby?

Question

Just curious, I am 34 weeks and starting to panick (I had one of those horrible dreams where I had my little boy early and had nothing prepared!) I still don't have my hospital bag organised nor even bought a baby bag.. I'll be getting it next week! But just want to know something's that you didn't think to buy but should of or wished you did!?

Thanks ladies!

Answer

A night time nanny a few times a week. Lol jk

Answer

A Rock n Play. It is the only thing my little one will sleep in. After being cozy in the womb he doesn't like a big open flat sleeping space like the crib. Plus I can move it wherever I go and put it right beside my bed when we sleep.

Answer

I've had 3 babies and each time you have another you realise more and more of the things you buy are so pointless. As long as you have somewhere for baby to sleep, nappies, wipes, clothes and milk if not breastfeeding then everything else is personal choice. 
I do however recommend a wrap and although they are so expensive I'd 10000% recommend a 4moms Mamaroo 😊 xx

Answer

Pregnant with my 3rd. In the past we had baby sleep in a pack n play in our room for the first couple months. This time I'm wishing I had a bassinet because it doesn't take up as much space but it's hard to justify buying one when you know this is your last baby. Buying one from the beginning would have made spending the money worth it.

Answer

My baby has acid reflux so we go through A LOT of bibs and burp cloths.

I couldn't survive without my boppy, I use that thing 24/7. I think it would be nice to have even if not breastfeeding, because I use it when bottle feeding or rocking to give my arms a break.

A lot of baby stuff is trial and error, so you might just have to wait till baby comes and see what they like or stock up on a few different brands. Diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, etc.

That's what I can think of that I use the absolute most. Good luck! Babies don't need as much as we think they do so try not to get overwhelmed! All baby really needs is diapers, clothes, food and a carseat and the rest you can gather as you go along.
