Practical must haves

Ay, congrats sa first baby, mama! Honestly, the essentials lang talaga, good quality crib or bassinet na safe, enough newborn and 0-3 months clothes (pero not too many kasi lalaki/babae pa lang balita mo), diaper station with everything within arm's reach, at least two sets of crib sheets, and a reliable thermometer kasi laging worried ka ng baby temperature. A few of us moms swear din na kailangan ng good maternity pads, comfortable pillow with cover para sa postpartum, at paracetamol or ibuprofen ready, mahirap pag magsisimula ang recovery at walang gamot haha. Then practical stuff like a good baby carrier para hands-free, wet wipes, cotton balls, at mild soap lang talaga, walang kailangan ng fancy baby products na mahal, ang mahalaga ay clean and safe. Good luck sa preparation, mama!
