Hahaha...i see. So what do we actually need? diapers, milk bottles, cot?, which cloth use to wrap them up? what kind of baby wash is good? tub? powder? medicated oil? Hahaha gosh!
And i'm so keen and curious how my baby will look like. hahaha...dreamt of that too. A ridiculous one appeared, a real combination of individual features fr both me and hubby. Like those computerise put together. hahaha

For me the essentials are:
NB clothes, especially those with front button/snaps. - Baby's cord stump need tender care, plus neck not very strong yet, so not a gd idea to get tops that need to wear thru the head.
Mittens & socks - personally I prefer socks to booties cause they not so easy to come off
Diapers - cloth or disposables up to u!
Wet wipes - to clean poo poo, but some mummies prefer to just rinse it at the basin.
Diaper cream - Desitin creamy is my recommendation.
Milk bottles - optional. If u wanna BF & u got sore nipples or what and want to express, u got a bottle.
Towels - bathtime!
Bathtub with stand - life saver for me. Don't need to bend down.
Swaddler - for me I used cloth nappies to wrap cause they r thin & cooling. If u sleep in air con room u can buy those swaddlers.
Cot + bedding - pillow is not necessary, but some will give those "donut" pillows. Quilt/blanket is not recommended due to risk of SIDS. for me I did use blanket, but I tucked it under the mattress so that it won't move & cover until slightly above baby's waist. However, based on experience I think if I use a sleeping bag or swaddler it should warm sufficiently, even with air con.
Sling/carrier - Didn't touch the pram until about 6 months old, unless I was going for grocery shopping or need to walk for very long. A carrier was good for me as baby felt comfortable sleeping inside & I didn't need to push a pram through crowded malls. If u push a pram into the lift pple kinda give u dirty look.
I personally don't think any body wash is necessary for NBs, cause their skin is delicate & they're not active. So u don't really need to "clean" them. Clear water should be fine. If u must u can get those PH balanced one. Strongly not recommend J & J, girl had irritated skin after that, and a lot of mummies also same problem.
I think these shld be sufficient for the first few months. Anything else can just get ur husband to run a quick errand, or u can do it when u bring baby out for PD appointments.

If you have friends/relatives who are giving you baby stuff, best to collect them or ask them what they will be giving you. For my 1st pregnancy we had a lot of hand-me-downs so we literally didn't have to buy a single baby item! :tlaugh:

Hi to all the mummies in here,
I'm new to this website and forum so wld love to say hello first..
Also preggers...with 2nd bub and EDD is 13 Oct - same as star_star?!
Do most of you obey the confinement regimes and methods or do you go ahead to do your own thing after delivery?
Coz 1st kid was born in Australia and I didn't go through the traditional confinement procedures...
