What to buy for a first baby

Question

Hi Mummas , 
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first and am
wanting to know what I should buy for the first month or two  ? Like what are some must haves and how much of each item. 
I’m wanting to keep costs somewhat low and know a lot of ladies waste money on things they don’t need

Answer

Burp cloths!! I can’t tell you how many I go through in a day. Buy a bunch!

Answer

When baby is a newborn you really need close to nothing. A safe place to sleep, formula or breastmilk, bottles, diapers, wipes, and a few outfits.  At three months is when the extras are nice.

Answer

The first months the baby will grow fast so don’t buy a lot of newborn clothes, but onsies, Pj’s with opening in the bottom since it’s easier to change the baby’s diaper and with the zipper ones you have to un zip the top and they get cold and cry so buy like 7 so you can wash them sometimes you need to change them a lot since the pee or poop leaks, there is long sleeves onsies with a compartment for the hands so babies don’t scratch them selves. Also invest in a digital scan thermometer so you can check the temperature fast and without disturbing baby too much

Answer

A bouncer with a vibrate setting and little mobile above it. By about 1 month my LO loved it, it would keep him entertained for 15 minutes while I drank my coffee. As a newborn my LO loved the boba wrap, I could just wear him while I did stuff around the house.

Answer

I purchased a snuggle me organic co sleeper. 2 months in and I'm still using it! We used it on our bed for the first month to help with feedings then moved it inside his crib so I knew and felt safe he wasn't going to flip over or anything. Travels to Grandma's easily for naps 👍
