Shop for baby stuffs – not a chore!

Newborn

Shopping for your new born normally begins before you meet the person you are buying it all for. It all happens, especially if it’s your first arrival, in a flurry of nail biting excitement. You have a million questions in your mind. What will she/he looks like? What do we call him/her? You’ll have an inkling awareness of who this little person is before you’ve ever set eyes on him/her.

If this is your first new born, it is wise to ask someone who knows what you need - could be your mum, close friends, neighbours and cousins. But then you’ll never find that anyone else’s experience exactly matches your own. Not only your lifestyle, tastes and priorities are different from others, but your little one will also be unique.

We have the pleasure to help our lovely Redmummy for her coming bundle of joy (thank you for having us to be your Personal Shopper) and it was such a good experience to scout around for baby stuffs. We can see ourselves just two lost souls trying to find baby clothes and had a giggle inside Mothercare. It is an eye –opener for hubby and I, at least we have seen most baby items in person and get a feel for them.

While preparing for this entry write up, I have the chance to get more insights and understanding on how to help mothers out there to shop wisely for their new borns. For instance, some baby products were found to be completely unnecessary like ‘Wipe Warmer’. I thought it was funny that such a thing exist. Is it really bad to wipe a baby's bottom with a room temperature wipe? I’m pretty sure most people do not warm their toilet paper, and it’s fine.

In terms of buying clothes, too many tiny baby clothes can be a waste of money too (even if they are awfully cute) as babies grow out of them very quickly. I have learned from a few friends that their babies were given so many onesies, some of them were not even worn before the baby got too big. I think a few outfits of each size would be enough.
