checklist: What to Buy for Baby II

[bitt3rswit]

What brand ng lampin ang matibay? How about mga tie-side and onesies, ano size ba dapat? should I buy the newborn size or derecho na sa 3M size? Sayang kasi pag sandali lang gamitin.

Kailangan ba talaga ng changing table?

[Kayiiieee]

I'm on my 6th month na pero kahit lampin wala pa akong nabibili. haha! After nalang siguro ng gender ultrasound ko sa June 21 para alam ko na kung anong kulay at designs ang bibilin.

Sobrang laking tulong ng thread na to for first time mums like me. hihi

[yang]

ano bang o na STERILIZER? does it have to be of the same product name ng feeding bottles? i have received pigeon and avent bottles.

[daveigh]

^ i have pigeon bottles and i only use the bebeta brand. kasya naman and up to now 6months na si baby ok pa rin sya. everyday pa itong gamit. kasya rin yung avent kasi i used to have avent too, i just sold it since pigeon ang type ni baby.

sa lampin i use curity.

tie sides are better pag 0 to 3 months. i use onesies pag umaalis lang. never used it much.

kung wala kang nahiram na pang newborn, you may buy 0-3 months, just keep it to counts of 6 (tie sides na sleeveless, with sleeves, manipis na pajama ang para sa akin na dapatmo lang bilhin pag 0-3 months, based on my experience).

just do not overbuy. exciting talaga mamili but as long as you buy the basics, ok lang yan.

changing table? hmm. in my opinion, i can change naman my baby's nappies kahit sa kama namin or in his playpen, so i do not see it as a necessity. but that's just me being practical.

[bitt3rswit]

^6 pcs each ba sis? I think yung brand na curity since nung bata pa kami meron na! Haha mga bibilhin ko na basics siguro dapat unisex noh? Para next time pwede pa gamitin sa 2nd baby.
Yung playpen mo ba sis yung pack and play? Parang gusto ko kasi ng crib kesa sa pack and play. Dami gamit ng babies. Kaloka!

[daveigh]

^ yes sis 6pcs ang bili ko para di ako mapressure maglaba agad. better sis pag whites muna para nga magamit pa ng susunod tsaka kita agad kung may dumi or insekto.

nagustuhan ko yung pack and play kasi may bassinet na, so medyo mataas at di mahirap abutin si baby. ok din naman crib,basta kung saan ka mas comfortable.

gaya nga ng sabi ko sa earlier post, hindi talaga ako nagbibili lahat. kasi nung binyag ni baby dami niregalo na hindi ko na kinailangang bilhin. if i were you, intayin mo yun. hehe.

[tamarind26]

Our baby naman uses Curity and Enfant lampins. Mas maganda ang bird's eye kesa gauze kasi more absorbent. With regards to sterilizers naman, di naman siya necessity pero convenient if you have one. Consider also the the feeding bottle if kasya sa sterilizer na bibilhin. Dr. Browns yung bottles ni baby kaya we bought the Looney Tunes sterilizer/dryer kasi yun lang ang kasya sa wide neck na medyo mura. 1900 lang from 3200 during last January's baby fair.

[super bratinella]

Ang pinaka worthy na nabili namin na gamit for baby are :

Lampin
Sando
PJ
Frogsuits
socks
Breastpump

[textspeak!] tiesides, mittens hindi masyado nagamit since summer nung nanganak ako kaya 3rd week pa lang trim ko na nails ni baby kasi sobrang init kahit socks sa gabi lang.

Pagumaalis naman kami

Stroller

Hirap walang stroller nakakangawit..

[MrsLuluyz]

bitt3rswit - bumili din ako ng newborn tiesides - 3 sleeveless, 3 short sleeves. hindi ako bumili ng long sleeves dahil summer ako nanganak, but my uncle gave me her daughter's long sleeves. hindi ako bumili ng madami kasi tinancha ko muna yung laki ng baby ko. madali naman bumili after. within the week na nakauwi na kami sa hospital, my mom bought na my son ng 3 months na sleeveless (mga de button, tiesides) kasi mejo malaki son ko. nagamit lang niya yun until lagpas 2 months sya. now na he's 4 months, mga ang 6 months na din gamit niya

i didnt buy bottles before giving birth since i'll be breastfeeding my son. by 6 weeks pa lang din ako nag pump (binigay lang sakin ang pump) binigyan din ako ng MIL ko ng farlin bottles. it worked for my son once in a while pinapainom sya sa bottle pag me errands ako. pero mula ng nakakakita na sya, ayaw na niya. lol i was planning to buy avent bottles around 6 months pag pwede na sya magwater at tiis tiis muna sa farlin for bottle feeding but a need arose na napaaga ang bili ko ng avent natural bottles.

stroller, di ako nagmadali with it. but since palagi kami magmamall ni baby. nakakaloka na i tried na kami lang dalawa, ang hirap ng walang stroller. kakapagod with his weight. buti nakabili na din ako, pero that was around 2-3 months na yata si baby. i was given SaYa and baby carrier na tomy, at first okay sa kanya yung saya, but then biglang ayaw na niya, ayaw din niya mag carrier.

[cloudzy_09]

Mga nabili ko kay baby na nasulit ko.

Farlin bottle sterilizer ( matibay siya and mas mura compare sa mga imported brand )
Bottles avent ( brand that my baby like the best i used other brands kasi ayaw niya pag hindi avent)
Onesies ( i like using onesies mas convinient para sa akin pag nag papalit ng nappy)
Curity lampin ( i use this as bib pag nag papa dede ako mas effective siya kasi makapal)
Lots of mittens ( 2-3x a day mo siya papalitan kaya dapat madami ka mittens)
Frog suit
Breast pump
Bottle brush
Bottle soap
Bottle dryer or baonan ng bottle ( i use din yung baonan ng bottle as bottle dryer)
Organic detergent (for mittens and toys na nilalagay niya sa bibig)
Baby wipes
Cotton balls and container ( mas effective siya pang alis ng pupu kaysa sa baby wipes for 1st 3-4 months )
Vandol ( mas madali linisan ang and meconium yung pupu green ni baby pag nilalagyan mo ng vandol after linisan and puwet)
Cotton buds and alcohol ( for the pusod)
Preety socks ( para cute yung booties kasi panget lagi natatangal)
Beddings and comforters
Crib and stroller
Car seat (hindi masyado nagamit)
Night lamp
Classical music cd ( pinapatugtug tuwing umaga)
Organic baby oil ( pang massage kay baby)
Organizer ( lalagyanan lahat ng gamit ni baby seperate yung pang medication, cleaning, milk)
Bath tub and net
Cetaphil ( i use this pang ligo ni baby para kahit hindi masyado mabanlawan ok lang)
Calmoseptine ( for mosquito bite )
Mosquito repellant for new born
Hygine kit ( nail cutter, comb, thermometer)

[sofiamarj]

Eto mga nabili ko...

feeding bottles- mix feeding kasi ako kay baby.
ainon bottle storage- very useful
bottle and nipple brush

cetaphil (baby's bath time)
babyflo petroleum jelly (very useful, prone kasi sa rashes ang newborn)
70% isopropyl alcohol (para sa pusod)
wipes at diaper
receiving towel- for bath time
changing mat- very useful kasi ginagamit ko 'to sa bed at playpen tuwing mag change ng diaper
receiving blanket- pwede rin ito gamitin na kumot ni baby, yung mga kumot kasi masyado makapal

0-3 months sleeveless tiesides (very useful lalo na pag mainit)
0-3 months tiesides with short sleeves (pag medyo malamig ang panahon)
0-3 months bottom (shorts and pajamas) - hindi ko pa nagagamit kasi naka diaper lang si baby. Medyo mainit pa kasi ang panahon kahit umuulan. Pinapawisan si baby.
mittens and socks- very useful
bib

mosquito net (umbrella shape)- ginagamit sa gabi
playpen- very useful din kasi dito natutulog si baby during day time.

5 months & 2 weeks pa lang ako, so far nag join pa lang ako sa Group Buy ng Cloth Diaper at sa last week of November pang dating nun

hindi ko rin sure kung kayanin ko pang mamili by January, baka mabilis na akong mapagod

ang scenario ko naman ngayun, ang mon-in-law & sis-in-law ko sa US panay-panay ng e-mail na pag nalaman daw namin agad ang gender ni baby inform namin sila agad, kase puro Sale daw pag last quarter sa US at naisip ko baka mag hoard sila dun, okay na rin sa akin yun syempre makakatipid kami ni hubby, need ko nga lang malaman muna kung ano-ano pamimilhin nila bago kami mag shopping dito ni hubby, thankful na rin ako dun syempre, sarap pag 1st apo si baby sa side ni hubby

pero syempre copy & paste ko rin list nyo mga sisses, para ready ng listahan ko pag may sale sa January...yey! 

[Pretty_ava]

mga sis, hm na un Avent na for starters lang?     I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I'm having a girl again:-)

[shenshen8]

Share ko lang mga sis: na-mention lagi dito yung superstition natin na wag bibili ng gamit until 7months preggy. I'm 7 months now and ang hirap mamili! Haha...
Last week we had a baby shower for my officemate and our manager who is from Sweden told us that mas grabe pa superstition nila! They dont get anything until the baby is born! Grabe. What some of the baby stores do is offer "reservations". You can reserve items you want and pag labas ni baby the items can be paid for and picked up sa store! LOL!
Kakatuwa lang, mas superstitous pa sila sa atin! 

[nageinna]

sis pretty_ava, yung nabili ko sa avent yung starter kit nila nasa 3,200. yun yung medyo gold yung color nung bottles. pag yung clear lang talaga 3k ata.

naku buti nalang my mom and my MIL hindi ako binawalan mamili agad. as early as 5 months namili na ko paunti unti ng damit ni baby online. then nung nagsale last time sa MOA dun bumili narin ako halos lahat ng gamit ni baby. ang hirap kasi magahol. and ngayon 33weeks, hirap na ko mag malling. hindi na kaya maglakad ng matagalan. yun din inisip ko kaya namili ako mas maaga kasi baka pag sa last trimester na hindi ko na kayanin.

[pinkpotato]

swaddle blanket – 1 pc??? gini - google ko pa ito para malaman kung ano to, need po ba talaga nito? ---- receiving blankets can be a swaddle too. pag very young pa ang baby, even lampin would work mabilis nga lang matanggal lalo na malikot bata. we even have this, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ko7dh8U5EG8/Sn-JYjG0USI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/Yepruyn6VeM/s400/kiddopotamus_swaddle_me_instructions_pink-1.jpg

pero sa totoo lang malapad na tela pwede ng gawing swaddle.

lampin/traditional cloth diapers - 2 doz (anong mas okay bird’s eye or gauze? & what brand?)  --- we have 2 dozens, guaze and bird's eye. as per the brand, curity

bigkis - need ba talaga?? --- for us di useful, umaakyat kasi nagiging bra ng baby

Baby Shampoo – iba pa ba talaga shampoo ng baby. Hindi pwede yung Cetaphil/lactacyd blue??? --- pwede din. may 1st born had lactacyd when she was a new born. sa up coming baby nag mustela naman ako, shampoo + body wash. trip ko lang but lactacyd would work fine though.

Diaper Rash Cream – what brand??? Hindi ba need pa ng reseta ng pedia to??? --- neah not really, you can buy your own. drapolene worked for my eldest so using the same brand this time. pero baka di rin effective sayo another brand maybe better.

Boppy pillow??? – gini - google ko pa ito para malaman kung ano, need po ba talaga nito? --- no need. I used the regular pillow when bf-ing. pero kung sa tingin mo youll need it and you have extra go buy!

usually pag 1st baby trial and error. eventually ikaw din makaka sabi kung ano ang useful at hindi sa lifestyle nyo

[bummed]

Sis vihua boppy pillow is the big u na pillow, its a nursing pillow I think would be more useful if you're going to be cs. Supposed to help you from feeling ngawit while bfeeding or kapag cs  its supposed to help prevent putting too much pressure sa wound. Boppy is pricey though, meron daw sa sm bloom yung brand php600 lang. If you plan to ebf  you might also want to look at buying a nursing cover meron din ang bloom noon (hindi naman sa im promoting the brand hehe just found na for those two its cheaper than others) =) but like sis pinkpotato said trial and error muna since first baby..
