checklist: What to Buy for Baby II

[trumpetclive]

Thank you mga sis sa mga inputs nyo, laking tulong😊
Yung bonnet pala, kailan gingamit?
Ilang bathtub gamit nyo sa newborn? May nakikita kasi ako 2 gamit...isa yung may soap and isang pang banlaw

[simang]

^we had a bath tub and a small basin, for the purpose that you mentioned. Ganun kasi dinemo sa akin sa hospital before kami idischarge so ganun na rin ginawa ko pag uwi namin.

1. bonnet-ginagamit para dagdag warmth sa baby. pagka ligo nilalagay. for newborn lang yan. pero baby namin, sandali lang nagbonnet. mga 1 week lang. malaking baby siya paglabas. malaki head nya so yung mga 0-3 mos na bonnet na nabili ko, sikip agad sa ulo nya pagkapanganak. 3 to 6 mos bonnet agad ang ginamit. ang funny nga ng itsura nya sa hospital kasi sikip ang bonnet nya. di ko naman naisip na pwede palang ganun ang mangyari.

Hello,

Sharing lang din. New mom ako with a one-month old baby. Salamat sa tips dito, nasala ko yung mga things to buy. Basics talaga yung nabili ko

Eto lang yung mga sobra yung bili ko.
Mittens - after 1st week ni baby, di na namin siya nalagyan ng mittens. sabi kasi ni pedia, para daw sa motor skills development niya. (nagnail file kami on the first week)
Bonnet - nilalagay lang pag-aalis tsaka sa hospital

I find very useful din
nail file/trimmer - baby got long nails so we use this instead of the regular trimmer
nasal aspirator/nasal spray- lagi stuffy nose ni baby kaya pansin namin he breathes through his mouth
portable/travel bed - okay lang wala nito kasi saglit lang magamit. but very useful when travelling. latag lang namin sa table or chairs, etc
lampin/muslin cloth- napakauseful. pamunas ng kahit ano, pangsapin, pangkumot, etc

[ficklemind]

^ true yang sa mittens, 1 to 2 weeks lang din ginamit. Ayaw na palagyan ni MIL & friends pabebe daw masyado itsura lol eh baby pa naman talaga hahaha seriously para nga daw sa development ni baby eh mas maganda nakaopen na hands niya.
hirap lang magtrim ng nails napaka lambot pa pero nadaan sa tiyaga. Now at 2 months medyo madali na magtrim.

agree sa lampin, bili kayo madami nito mga sis, gamitin talaga,  pamunas, panglatag, pang cover din since yung baby ko palipat lipat sa bahay namin tska sa bahay ng in laws ko sa tapat.

bonnet - siguro first week lang nagamit nung nasa hospital siya.

[Shadow Angel]

Mittens- never nagamit kasi pinatanggal ng doctor day 1 pa lang need ng baby na malaman naigagalaw at nakakahawak sya. Buti na lang lahat ng mittens namin gift lang. About sa kuko file lang namin di pa pede icut.
Bonnet - kapag nasa labas lang si baby.

[dpmallo19]

eto rin yung di ko masyado nagamit
Swaddle - nagandahan kasi ako sa feedback ng sleepsack swaddle para daw mahimbing tulog ng baby. di ko masyado nagamit kasi  si baby ayaw niya narerestrict yung movement niya

[prettylove]

Mga sis how about rompers, caoveralls/frogsuit tingin nyo sobrang magagamit ba? Thanks

[trumpetclive]

Prettylove, bumili ako ng romper pero 1 lang muna. Frogsuit wala ako binili..ito ba yung may hood? May nabasa kasi ako na baka may risk ma SIDS si baby ng hood. Bumili ako ng konting overall yung pati paa covered. Baka kasi mabilis humaba si baby kaya konti lang binili ko and baka pag gabi lang nya magamit kasi maiinit naman sa umaga.

I'm almost done shopping, next step is labhan lahat ng binili😊

I'm having second thoughts on buying milk bottles and sterilizer since I plan to breastfeed. Kayo ba mga sis, bumili na ba kayo even before baby's born and you plan to breastfeed?

[prettylove]

@trumpetclive, bumili na ako ng 4 oz na bottle na 4 pcs lang kasi try ko din mag pump na manual tapos lalagay ko sa bottle n lang. 

[sarsingkit]

^^I bought bottles pa rin and a sterilizer was given to me. I ended up breastfeeding so I was able to use the bottles ng mga 2 months lang until the baby exclusively latches directly on me. I think it is still worth buying a few bottles even if you plan to breastfeed.

On frogsuits or overalls, depende kung gaano kainit. I live over seas and it was winter when baby was born to puro overalls lang talaga ang damit nya nung newborn kahit lumalabas kami. Hindi na ako bumili ng separate ng pang alis until baby was 3 months old. So sulit na sulit yung overalls nya.

[dpmallo19]

ako plan ko talaga magbreastfeed kaya starter kit lang ng bottles bili ko, 2 pcs 4oz and 9 oz. we had sterilizer din. currently 5 weeks na yung baby ko and and di ko pa nagagamit bottles. yung sterilizer naman nagagamit ko to sterilize my breast pump and other baby stuff.

Hello mommies, first time mom here. October pa yung due ko pero I'm planning to buy stuffs na for our baby. San ba magandang mamili and ano yung mga need na unahin? Thanks in advance!

[fionaapple]

^for those asking for tips, i suggest na mag backread muna  kasi marami nang nagshare ng tips and to-buy lists.

[Maple19]

Sorry mga sis, not sure kung tama dito ipost ang question ko. Sa mga experienced moms, ask ko lang kung ok ba bumili ng playard when baby is already 2 mos old? We're planning to co-sleep naman on the first 2 months. I'm thinking pabili sa friend ko na manggaling sa US, ang laki ng difference sa local price ng mga graco pack and play. My friends told me na di din masyado magagamit ang crib lalo sa first months. I'll be working after my maternity leave and di ko alam kung mas okay for yaya and my mom (who's in her 70s) na alagaan or bantayan si baby from bed or playard.

Baka gumamit muna kami ng co-sleeper na 4k or less. May maisuggest ba kayo where I can buy locally? Preferrably sana yung madali bitbitin for travelling pag pumupunta sa in-laws ko.  Thanks!

[Shadow Angel]

^bukod sa crib may playard kami ginagamit namin during travel or mag overnight sa ibang lugar.

[BBB21]

Hi! I'm on my 19th week and we're planning to start buying stuff after namin malaman yung gender hopefully by the end of the month. 😊
Anyone who tried Tiny Buds for their baby? 😊 I've been doing online window shopping for hours now and I think I'm loving their products. 😊

[Maple19]

I think pag lagi ka outdoors like traveling out of town or visiting in-laws, the playpen / play yard will be convenient. at least you know it is clean because it is yours. it's much safer too for your baby if you are in a different place, and you know she or he will be safe while inside his or her play yard. US price difference is really huge than here, to me I'll go for it.
disadvantage is if your child grow up so fast, or that he or she does not like to be in it. that's mean you will only be able to use either until your child is big na that not comfortable na to stay there, or child wants to move around and will cry if put there for a long time.

Thanks sis Sally! We'll buy a pack and play here na lang in the Philippines.

Mga mommies para saan po yung receiving blanket? And ang hooded towel when siya ginagamit? Thanks

[Shadow Angel]

^receiving blanket pwede mo sya gawing blanket pero yan ang binigay ko sa nurse para ibalot si baby. Hoodie towel naman after maligo ni baby ibalot mo sya dun para hindi lamigin at pang tuyo na rin ng katawan at buhok.mabilis matuyo ang buhok ni baby gamit un hoodie
