Hindi ka mag-iisa mama, marami akong kaibigan na first-time moms din and honestly, mix lang ng mall and Shopee ang best approach! For big-ticket items like stroller, crib, at car seat, okay sa mall para makita mo personally at may warranty, pero for basics like mittens, onesies, blankets, at diaper essentials, Shopee talaga ang sulit, try Mothercare PH, Baby Company, at Tiny Prints kasi consistently maganda quality nila at mura. One of my mum friends swears by Lalabye Baby din for affordable but decent stuff, at lagi may flash sales. Start na agad kasi 29 weeks mo pa lang, plenty of time pa to compare prices and wait for discounts!
