When are y’all planning to start purchasing baby items?

I’d wait until after the baby shower

I'm not having a shower or announcing my pregnancy before this baby comes so I've started slowing buying things already! I bought a package of diapers or wipes every paycheck, and always check clearance sections for clothes and other baby items! I've started buying stuff for all 4 of my babies by 8 weeks. It's definitely all personal preference! I just keep everything in a bin/tote until I can start setting stuff up :)

You can get a ton of great stuff on FB marketplace or similar. Plus when some people find out you are pregnant they will want to give you all kinds of hand-me downs. So I definitely wouldn't pay full price for anything at least for a couple months.

I’m in the same boat. I’ve bought a rocking chair already but that’s because my best friend has a 6mo old who really benefits from a rocking chair so I picked it up early for when she brings kiddo over! But I’m planning on buying second hand stuff beginning ~20w but I’m hoping to get help for my big ticket items (and esp stuff I’m not getting second hand like car seats and whatnot).
