Question

When do you think is the best time to:
1.   Start buying baby’s essentials
2.  Finish buying all baby’s essentials
3.  Pack a hospital bag for mommy and baby
4.  Buy a breast milk pump machine
5.  Start saving money for baby for the future

Answer

I got a medela pump in style free with my last pregnancy. I would recommend seeing if insurance covers it. MD just puts in the script and they delivered it to the house!

Answer

1-whenever you feel like it, Haha but if you know the gender then you can start buying a little at a time. 
2- finish by 36 weeks. Never know what "surprises" might pop up.
3- hospital bag at 36 weeks, just like number 2. Surprises can happen at 36 weeks, and just get it done and out of the way so you can relax and enjoy the last few weeks without worry.
4- talk to ob or midwife about getting a pump prescription and if your insurance covers it? I didnt pump much woth my first cuz I wanted to be " an independent/exclusive breastfeeder, but this time around I will most definitely be pumping from the start. Even if I dont introduce a bottle till later, havi g that milk supply saved up and ready to go in the freezer I have learned will be a huge help and stress relief for when something pops up or you just need a break. I will still exclusively breastfeed because I loved it with my first. But I wont be so selfish about sharing when need to or when its convenient. 
5- save as much as possible for as long as possible and then continue to save after baby, it's a relief to know you are being smart and planning for all kinds of future possibilities
