This was the list I came up with when I was about to have my first baby last year. Nagprepare ako nito when I was around 5 months pregnant. I didn't impulse buy kasi ayokong may masayang sa mga bibilhin ko, that's why I came up with a list muna.
👕 CLOTHING ITEMS 👕
Tie-side Longsleeves
Tie-side Shortsleeves
Tie-side Sleeveless
Pants
Bonnets
Mittens
Booties/Socks
Bibs
Onesies
Lampin
Tip:
☝🏼 Wag nyo po masyadong damihan ang pagbili ng mga damit ni LO lalo na kung nasa newborn stage pa sila 'cause they grow super fast! For tie-sides, okay na po yung 3-6 pieces for each kind.
💤 NURSERY ITEMS 💤
Crib
Mosquito Net
Comforter and Pillows
Diaper Changing Mat
Bed with Mosquito Net
Blankets
Swaddle Blankets
Cabinets/Racks/Organizers
🛀 BATH ITEMS 🛀
Bath Tub
Bath Tub Net/Support
Bath Towels
Washcloths
Hairbrush/Comb
Baby Wash
Diapers (NB and Small)
Tips:
☝🏼 For baby wash, bumili muna kayo ng small size. Minsan kasi kahit okay na okay yung baby wash, hindi hiyang si LO. Later on, you'll learn more kung saan hiyang si baby nyo. And make sure that what you're buying is for newborn.
☝🏼 Wag magstock ng sobrang daming newborn-sized diapers. In our experience, mabilis kaming nagtransition to small-sized diapers.
🍼 FEEDING ITEMS 🍼
Feeding Bottles
Breast Milk Storage
Baby Bottle Drying Rack
Breast Pump
Nursing Pillow
Bottle Warmer
Bottle Cleaner
Bottle Detergent
Sterilizer
Burp Cloths
Tips:
☝🏼 Depending on your preference— whether you're going to exclusively breastfeed, mixed feed, or formula feed— magagamit nyo ang mga 'to. You don't have to buy everything in this section, i-assess nyo muna kung anong method ang okay sa inyo ni baby.
☝🏼 For feeding bottles, I believe it's safe to buy 1-2 muna and see if hiyang ba si LO sa nabili nyong bottle bago kayo magdagdag.
☝🏼 Importante ang bottle detergent, mga mommies. Piliin yung walang masyadong chemicals at hindi matapang ang amoy. Known brands are Tiny Buds, Cradle, Joy Baby, Smart Steps, etc. Magagamit din ang bottle detergent in washing breast pump parts, plates, and utensils ng mga LO natin.
🎀 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS 🎀
Nail Clipper
Laundry Detergent
Alcohol
Baby Oil
Unscented Baby Wipes
Cotton Balls
Tissue
Cotton Buds
Thermometer
Tips:
☝🏼 Wag basta-basta gumamit ng laundry powder for baby clothes. Doing so may cause rashes sa skin ni baby kasi super sensitive pa ito. Personally, I used Perla White for newborn clothes kasi gentle lang sya.
☝🏼 Cotton balls (with water) ang ginagamit ko panlinis ng poop ni baby pag nasa bahay para iwas rashes. Baby wipes naman kapag nasa labas.
Not saying you have to buy everything on this list ha 🥴 But I hope this will serve as a guide especially to first time moms. I hope this helps, mga mommies! #pregnancy
