when do you/did you start buying baby stuff?!

Question

I'm 16 weeks and dying to buy baby things but holding back because i still have a ways to go! When did you ladies start buying things for baby? I don't want a baby shower (personal reasons) so I badly wanna go to Buy Buy Baby and go broke lol.

Answer

My husband and I are waiting till we find out what we're having! Once I have that ultrasound in a few weeks we will then start to buy and get our babies room ready!

Answer

12w Us. As of now we are set on diapers till about size 3. We are now ramping up on wipes.  After wipes we'll go back to adding diapers again.

Answer

I would say go for it if you aren't having a baby shower. We started buying things here and there as soon as I got pregnant. I'm 23 weeks now and I'm honestly so glad I started early because I'll probably be done shopping by the time the holidays are over. Plus I've caught so many of the things that I wanted on sale, that I've ended up saving a good amount of money this way too. I just made a list of everything we needed to get early on and then just kept an eye out for sales along the way.
We aren't having a baby shower eaither and are moving soon, so starting to buy things early has really worked out perfectly for us.

Answer

Oh just go!!! It's so much fun even just window shopping! You can go to get nursery ideas. If you know if you are breast or bottle feeding you can look into your options and purchase bottles or plan a savings account for a pump if your insurance doesn't cover it.
If you find gender neutral clothing you absolutely must have, get it! You probably should take your SO too to keep you from spending too much lol.

Answer

I started buying stuff at 9 weeks. We found a car seat on sale, and multiple other things. And we've beeen sticking up on diapers and wipes since we found out we were expecting! I already have his whole wardrobe too 😬😬

Answer

Answer

If you're not having a baby shower I say go for it, start now. Most ppl like to wait until after the baby shower for alot of things bc they don't know what they'll be given. But if you're not having one I don't see why you'd have to wait :)

Answer

I know the feeling! I'm 24 weeks and we just bought our son his first clothes while on vacation. We stumbled across a store in San Francisco that sold baby clothes with his name on them. Which was special because his name is very rare! Here's True's first clothes!

Answer

We started our registry two weeks before our anatomy scan and didn't buy anything or give the registry number out until after we knew his gender.
