Mummy4life1:
Hello beautiful Mummies,

My first born will be 6years tomorrow so, I have forgotten most of the things. I have given out all my first born baby items.

Please, can someone help me with a list of items needed for new born babies and what weeks should pregnancy be before purchasing.

I’m preparing and would really appreciate guidance.

Also, for those who bought the items in Lagos recently, how much did you spend for new born babies items?

Hello mama, you may want to wait for 2nd trimester before you buy baby things. This is because you have enough strength this period and you are causing too much stress to your newly changing body.
- Also by then you are sure of the gender so you can streamline the buying to soothe baby gender especially in colors ( except you don’t mind )

About the list, The basic ones will be given to you to guide you in the hospital when you start antenatal. While buying, you will see other important ones there ( I trust those sellers 😀) Remember they will give you useful and some worth useless items 🤐However I know we can dig up a list from this thread that was useful back then. I will quote and tag you when I see it.

Good evening Belleful mamas.

AmakaRuby:
Good day mamas, is bending down, deep squatting (like wen you bend to wash your bum properly) in second trimester okay?

Nothing wrong with that. Just bend on your knees

clems88:
Hello good people, please can a 3 weeks old baby start using sucker?? My son has practice how to suck his hands and is turning it to habit which I d on't want be used we are battling with his 2 years old brother who can suck for Africa

He should outgrow it. I don't suggest sucker. It can breed infection in several ways. My opinion tho
