Hi nairalanders,

Kindly help me with things to make available as I am expecting my baby soon apart from what the hospital will require from me.

Thanks.

Baby wadrobe
Baby clothes
Cot
U might need either a Player/rocker

Lots of things as they never enuf lol

These are the ones I can rem

1. You need commitment..

2. You need to learn how to raise a baby (maybe a book on it)

3. Lots of bre*st milk(not all those chemicals wey dey make pikin tink backward)

4. You need to be available to raise the child in person

5. See the post ahead of mine.

Call your mother or get a matron/midwife they'll have the best advice for you.

Congrat in Advance!

It depends on what you like. Some mothers would buy baby carrier others would prefer to back their babies with wrapper.

Some mothers like Player/rockers some would prefer rocking them to sleep, etc etc.

The amount of things that have been pushed at new mothers as essentials is really mind blowing.

I just had a look around and saw the plenty junk i have in my house that i bought when i was about to give birth. Some are brand new, some were used maybe once or twice.

Its heart breaking (money wasting too).

If you are looking to feast your eyes and stuff and increase your possessions for your baby, type "new mother essentials, new mum checklist" etc etc.
