Congratulations, you will be a mom or dad very soon! There is a lot to do before this great day comes. It is better to prepare in advance than to try to do everything at once. This article contains helpful tips for you.
Steps
1 Think before reading further. If you know your baby's gender, consider how this might affect the color and symbology you will use for your baby. Which color do you choose: pink, white or blue? Neutral colors are white and green. In addition, you can use images such as Dasha the Pathfinder, Sesame Street, or sports such as baseball or football. 
2 Purchase transport for your baby. You may need a car seat, carrycot and stroller. Remember that stylish options, with pockets that are larger and more comfortable, are more likely to cost more. Think about the purpose for which you are going to use the stroller - will you be jogging or just walking in the park? Until your child is older, buy a car seat to keep your child safe. 
3 Purchase clothing, blankets, bathing supplies, and baby bibs. It is wiser to buy several things at once than one, as a rule, it is more expensive. You will need a few bibs as these are things that get dirty quickly. Buy comfortable clothes appropriate for the weather. You will also need a soft blanket to wrap your baby in. 
4 Don't buy too many diapers. Babies are growing faster than you might imagine, and soon enough, your baby will grow out of diapers designed for newborns. For a newborn baby, diapers are selected, depending on its weight. For older children, diapers are differentiated by weight and age. Get enough baby wipes. 
5 Think about entertainment. Babies have a routine. When your little one is active, chances are they enjoy playing and exploring the world. Buy noisy toys, pacifiers, plush stuffed animals that play a tune when you press on your tummy or handle, rattles, and rubber toys that are helpful for teething. 
6 Do not forget to purchase medical and other essential items. You will definitely need a thermometer, an aspirator, a comb, scissors and much more. When choosing baby skin care products, give preference to hypoallergenic products. 
7 Set up a play area for when your little one gets older and starts to crawl. It is not necessary if your baby is just a newborn. Use protective covers for outlets, plastic protectors for corners and other sharp edges.
Tips
- Always think about the future. Children grow up quickly, and very soon your child will grow older.
- When going somewhere, do not forget to grab a bag, which will contain a pack of napkins, diapers or diapers, a change of clothes, a mixture (if you are not breastfeeding), and a toy.
- Visit Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target stores for essentials. These stores offer a wide range of products at low prices.
- Purchase several bottles. Thanks to this, you do not have to constantly wash the bottle.
- As a rule, the birth of a child is a great joy and many loved ones will want to give you gifts. This will be especially useful if you do not have the opportunity or the money to buy the necessary goods. Do not be afraid to ask your friends who have older children if they have any things left; they can happily give them to you.
