I think how much you buy also depends on where you live and how easily accessible stores are to you/how fast Amazon/prime can deliver to you 1) bought adult diapers and pads (used but bought way too many, start with a small box) 2) bought a spritz bath - didn’t open it, never used it and returned it 3)didn’t buy peri bottle, used the hospital one. Needed it. 4) burp clothes - rarely used, ended up just using swaddles/my baby didn’t spit up much 5) bought way too many milk pads/storage bags, breastfeeding doesn’t work out for everyone Car seat biggest expense - I got the peg perego and very happy with it but do wish I explore more options other than uppababy etc @Molly I was discouraged from Nuna pipa bc lower weight limit - stroller(s) Things I used all the time: Swaddles/muslin blankets for everything Infant lounger (supervised) Bassinet Comfort recliner/rocker Baby bjorn all in one mesh carrier - still use it and my baby is 18 months and doesn’t like stroller 😅 Stroller
If you live somewhere where stores are easily accessible and have prime, I’d under buy! Can always pop out. My daughter was born at 5lb 7oz so I ended up needing to order a bunch of premie/newborn sleepers but truthfully she was just in blankets and doing skin to skin
Things we got but never used/returned: - Frida feeezer pads - frida witch hazel panty liners - perineal spray - baby swing (kept but kid has zero interest in it) - white noise machine (we just use a Google speaker we already had) 2. Things i wish I had sooner - snuggle me lounger (supervised use only) - bouncer - exercise ball to bounce her on - baby Einstein aquarium - bought the mesa 2 car seat wished I had bought the nuna or the clek (lighter and have adapters to a wide variety of travel strollers) - happiest sleepea baby comforter swaddles (we have a winter baby and typical swaddles are cold AF) 3. A few thousand...the biggest expenses being a new car seat...used stroller...miscellaneous items because we had a preemie. Everything else we got as gifts through our registry or bought used off FB. 4. Didn't do any baby boxes
