Essential things to get for FTM!
Hello mummies. I am 6 months pregnant and there's a baby fair in Jan. Can you share what are the essential items I should get at the fair or in general? Pls recommend me brands I could look at for the items below, greatly appreciate! -Cot -Breast Pump -Steriliser -Maternity bra/nursing bra -Diaper changing station -Baby carrier -Pram

Some of the items i think are essential: 1. Cot / bassinet (I use those with wheels that can easily push and place beside our master bed) 2. Stroller / baby carrier 3. Car seat / download ZIP app 4. Diaper cream (I use desitin) 5. Baby wipes (used to use cloversoft, but changed to oldam when baby is older) 6. Manual or auto pump 7. milk storage container (suggest a small container like haaka colostrum collector for your first few days, then storage bottles depending on your pump type - there's narrow, standard and wide neck bottles - for example medela uses standard neck bottles and many others use wide neck bottles) 8. Swaddle 9. Lots of towels for different purposes 10. Diapers. Lots. 11. Cotton balls / cotton buds / cotton wool 12. Bottles for formula feeding Important but not so essential: 1. Bottle sterilizer 2. Bath tub 3. Bath soap 4. Baby clothes detergent 5. Bottles detergent 6. Baby nose cleaner 7. Baby tongue cleaner 8. white noise machine or spare handphone 9. rubber cot mat / disposable bed sheets or liners 10. Baby diary / download app to record baby feeding/poop times 11. disinfectant sprays 12. ruyi oil 13. Bottles drying rack Some items for yourself: Lots of disposable pads. Comfortable room slippers. Huge waterbottle. Lots of tissues/wipes. Bathroom high stool. Depending on whether you are breastfeeding - breast pads, nursing pillows. Non essential items you might like but I think no need: 1. Yaolan (Get a good bassinet with wheels or with this function) 2. pillows, bolsters etc 3. cot protectors 4. Body Lotions / sunscreens etc 5. mosquito nets 6. diaper changing station 7. bathtub stand 8. baby toothpaste / baby toothbrush ok I think that's all I can think of for now. You'll be busy once baby is born. Jiayou and goodluck mummy!
