Hi everyone. I am 13w5d pregnant. I was wondering when would be a good time to start baby shopping. I go to the baby section at target and walmart all the time and just cant wait to start baby shopping. But when would be the best time to do so?

I’m in my first trimester with my first baby.

When should I start shopping for baby stuff and how much stuff should I get?

What baby items are must-haves and what items (if any) can I put off until after the baby arrives or put off completely?

Also, how much newborn clothing should I have and how soon will the baby outgrow it?

All advice appreciated.

plus what i have to prepare before baby arrival for baby and myself.

When did you start shopping for the baby?
I dont even know what needs to be bought. I will be completing my second trimester next week and was wondering who can I ask or where can I find this information.
I dont even know what the baby would need after he is born.
I know few things which I definitely need to buy…crib, diapers, breast pump…what else?
Do they tell what needs to be bought in the birth classes? Mine start next week.

I am going to be 16 weeks in a couple of days.. when should i start shopping for baby… i mean just the essentials.. like… crip, car seat, bottles ect… my doctor classified me as high risk..so i probably won’t go full term. so should i get ready early. if so what should i buy?
i mean crib… not crip..

I started pretty much as soon as I found out getting the Big ticket items like the furniture, stroller, carseat, etc. Had whole room finished when I was around 6 months and i am glad I got everything done early because those last months are horrible. I bought clothes throughout….all diff sizes and seasons. I reccomend not buying a lot of small size diapers and clothes…my son was almost 10 pounds so he went straight into size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes. We ordered our furnitire so it took like 2 weeks to get here and assembly is no fun! After we had all that set up I went looking for the bedding for it. Once I had bedding picked out went to pick out matching wall hangings, curtains, and rocker. Just do one or two things a week. It also helps pass the time…least it did for me because I did not work during pregnancy. Get the big things done and then concentrate on the smaller things like diaper supply, wipes, clothes, socks, hats, bottles, and other acessories. Def get a bouncy seat they are heaven! Good Luck and Best Wishes!

Oh by the way…it helps to go and do a registry even if you are not having a shower…this way once you are able or have money that week to get something you have like a personal check list of your items already picked out. Thats what we did.
most of my large items I did as gender friendly this way I can use them again if I have either sex. Also for clothes if you have a Carter’s store near you (can check at www.carters.com) then their clothes if you save reciept will take clothes back no matter how long you have had them for full refund and even if you have tag on but no reciept they will still take them back.

The biggest diaper bag you can find. Mom’s are very particular about these, though as a Dad I don’t see how they’re better than just a plain old backback, which is just as roomy and usually a lot less expensive. Use your judgment.

A Diaper Genie and refills for it. It will make a huge difference.

A bottle sterilizer if you don’t have patience to boil them yourself.

A breast pump unless you’re 100% sure you want baby to drink only commercially available formula.

A baby bjorn or something like it. Google this if you need to. They are incredibly handy.

The baby book by a guy named Sears, as well as the whole "What to expect" series of books.

A good comfy rocking chair for 4 a.m. feedings.

A stroller that has a detachable car seat. When the baby is sleeping in the car seat in the car, this will let you put her right in the stroller without waking her up by transferring her from a car seat to another stroller. You just pick up the whole car seat and it locks into place in the stroller. This will be one of the single most expensive items you buy for your baby, but worth every penny. Trust me.

Crib

Water proof liner for the crib (goes under the sheet)

Changing table and waterproof liner for the same. We cleared off the top of our chest of drawers and just put a big foam bad on it as a changing table, with a waterproof cover for it.

Stuff for baby-proofing the house.

Two or three thermometers, and they must include at least one rectal thermometer and one for the ear.

Playpen. Get one that comes with a changing table and travel bag.

A bouncy seat. These are very handy places to stash a kid while you feed it on a dining room or coffee table.

A high chair.

One of those little chairs that can clamp to tables. They fold up into a small size for taking on the go. They are useful for taking baby to restaurants that don’t have high chairs or boosters. Keep one in the car.

A light weight stroller for short trips around the neighborhood, or when you know you’re not going anywhere that will be far from a car. You don’t need the heavy-duty stroller in Dress Barn if your car is in the parking lot. They also fold up into a smaller package in restaurants than the big strollers do.

There’s this fabric border that fits between the mattress in the crib and the bars, but I can’t remember what it’s called. It reduces the chances that the kid will get tangled up in the bars somehow or get pinched between the bars and mattress. Maybe it’s just called a crib border. They sell them at all the usual places where baby stuff is available.

Onesies and Bibs. Buy about three times as many as you think you’ll need.

Special laundry detergent that has no fragrance or harsh chemicals in it. Use it for washing the baby’s clothes and linens. Dreft is one brand, Seventh Generation Free and Clear, Tide Free is less expensive.

Baby wipes. These come in little boxes slightly smaller than a kleenex box. Use them when wiping the baby’s bottom after a poop! You can save the empty boxes to keep small items together.

A fun accessory is a battery powered swing chair. They can soothe a grumpy baby.

Baby bath tub. It’s about the size of a kitchen sink and you set it on the dining room table to wash the baby.

Potty chair. Get the kind that becomes a step when you flip it over so the toddler who is potty trained can stand at the bathroom sink to wash hands, brush teeth, etc.

Slippers and a bath robe for yourself. You’ll be wearing them a lot while walking cholicky baby back and forth in the middle of the night, so might as well be comfy.

Nail clippers for baby-sized fingers and toes.

Went to the market on a late night with my family. Nothing special but figure id record something to show people. Anyways Hope all is doing well with there weight loss.

“It’s not difficult to spend $ 150,000 for clothes” says the expert. Well, we have to believe him, I guess!

By the way, the Republican National Committee is partly tax-funded. Just for the record.
