oh goodness, i had most of what i needed by now with all three of my kids or had already researched and scoured for the things I was still to get.
I couldn’t wait to start buying up all the things for my babies. It turns out to be a lot of stuff so the earlier you start and the more you spread it out the easier it is financially.
I wouldn’t hold back,…go, hunt, buy!!! You’ll have so much fun doing it!!
But remember to bargain hunt for specials and sales and compare prices between stores on the big ticket items, you’ll be amazed at how much you can save
Good luck
Congratulations, you’re not far behind me!
I have 9 weeks left of pregnancy and have so far bought a changing table, pushchair, car seat, some clothes (we don’t know the sex of the baby). We were put off by so many friends and family members to buy things too early on mainly because of superstitions…even bringing the pushchair into the house is considered bad luck.
However I’d like to be prepared and organised ready for our littluns arrival so I’ve bitten the bullet, discarded other peoples interferring and begun to order all the other remaining necessities. I’m planning to have everything in place one month before the due date just incase the baby decides to arrive early.
Plus, leaving it too late and you could risk receiving damaged or faulty items which need to be returned and might not arrive before your LO does! It’s good to get the hang of fitting your car seat and erecting/collapsing your pushchair etc before you start getting too big!
EDIT: Why the thumbs down?
I’d start now. There will be lots of winter type stuff on clearance you can stock up on for the winter to come, which is great! You can get a lot for your money. Key point to remember: buy a bunch of different sizes. At 6 months he may not be in 6 months clothes…he might be in 12 month sizes for all you know so buy a variety.
I was 6 months pregnant this time last year…::sigh::: how time flies.
I think its all up to you. I prepared the babies room when I am on my 5th month of pregnancy, I also a boy. Me and my husband were spending some nights sleeping on the babies room. I brought my babies furniture from foreveredwood and have it painted with blue white.
i bought it bit by bit from the 5 month scan until when she was born…id definatel start now as the costs are alot – i bought lke cot one month, travel system/stroller/car seat the next, a load of clothes the next etc etc
When ever you like! We started buying stuff really early!!
You will probably want everything sorted and organised by the time your 8-8 1/2 months as you might just want to rest then and wait for baby to come!
anytime now. you don’t want to wait til the last minute, so I’d say start at least getting some things now. Congrats and I hope you have a health baby boy
hello…i say now is a good time to start…..its never too early… .congratulations on your boy…i have just had my wee boy 4 weeks ago .. its wonderful. ..
I started buying things for my kids when I was about 7-8 months pregnant. Do it whenever you feel you are ready
The best thing to do is buy stuff you need when it’s on sale.
