When's a good time to buy baby items?

Question

well i'm six months pregnant and i'm not sure when to buy baby items should i wait

Answer 1

Wait until next month... that way you still have some time to go about getting things slowly and not rushing.... but I would already go get the crib atleast and some diaper and wipes because the baby may come earlier then plainned.... but as for clothes just have some handy and wait until next month to buy the rest of the clothes and toys and things like that..... Congrats....

Answer 2

I bought my first baby item at about 25 weeks or so. It bought some onsies. Then as soon as I found the perfect crib for the right price I bought that at 27 weeks. :) That's all I've bought. I'm really waiting until after my shower to buy anything else, because you don't want two of everything! But if you want something, BUY IT. It's totally up to you.

Answer 3

Right now. I started buying diapers and such when I first found out I was preggers. I was 1 month and already had a bunch of stuff. I just got those onesies and socks and diapers and wipes. You need to be buying a crib, bassinet, carseat all that stuff right now. It is very expensive so the sooner you start, the less it will seem to cost. You are (I am assuming) having a baby shower correct? If so, wait until after the baby shower to get the rest of you stuff.

Answer 4

I started buyin things after I found out I was pregnant. We brought a bunch of unisex stuff so that might a good idea. You can always buy the t-shirts and oneseis since those are mostly white. Stack up on diapers and wipes. Also with lotion. It seems like you should be finding out what you're having soon so I wouldnt worry too much. Also, keep in mind garage sales are a good place to buy clothes or a goodwill store too.

Answer 5

With my first baby I started buying things as soon as I found out I was pregnant...and didn't use about half of it. With my second I bought things here and there throughout my pregnancy...mainly price shopping. Right now would be a good time to start buying the big things, like a crib and such. The closer you get to your due date, the less you want left to do or buy. Congratulations and best wishes!

Answer 6

You've passed the danger stage, so I'd say your pretty clear to go ahead and buy things. Something could still happen, but its very rare to lose a baby at this stage.
Buy the basics, but I would't go wild on clothes or diapers. My sister in law had lots of newborn diapers, and clothes, and her son was huge! He was already too large for newborn stuff in a couple weeks. remember, if you buy abit larger, its okay because yo ucan just roll up the sleeves and legs.
Don't buy high end either. Babies grow so fast, its a waste of money.

Answer 7

Now is a good time just by things you need like baby blankets buy a couple of stuff not too much wait untill your babyshower than you can buy whatever you did not get

Answer 8

I would start to register for items now so people will know what to get you when the baby comes or for the shower. Good luck and happy birthing!

Answer 9

It all depends on what you can afford and what you are expecting as gifts. However anything that you think will make your life easy (wipe warmer, baby carrier --that needs to fit YOU, etc) I would buy.

I would however advice against buying any clothes, as you will get TONNES from friends and family. Same with toys.

Answer 10

I would wait till I find out the gender then go crazy and buy all sorts of cute baby clothes, I did its better to be prepare then to wait at the last minute. Congraulations on your bundle of Joy
