First time mom

Congrats, mama! Honestly, focus muna sa basics, diapers, wipes, mahabang damit for baby, blankets, at a good crib or bassinet; a few of us first-time moms realized we overbought stuff we didn't even use, kaya start simple lang talaga. Don't forget your own recovery essentials too, extra underwear, maternity pads (the heavy flow ones!), comfortable loose clothes, at nipple cream kasi hindi expected gaano kasakit ng breastfeeding sa simula. Ask your OB or close mum friends kung ano na-try nila since talagang different ang experience ng bawat mama, pero the most important thing is you have support ready and don't stress trying to have everything perfect, baby just needs you, mom!
