Ano mga bagay na pinaka kailangan or magagamit ni baby?

[chuy]

^^ sis yung baby ko pinaliguan ko nung natanggal na yung cord. Siguro almost a week yun kasi ang tagal matanggal hehe. Gusto na nga hilain ng in-laws e. Before nun, sponge bath lang o yung punas using wash cloth.

Items needed for bath time: batya/baby bath tub, baby soap (common brands are J&J and Lactacyd), towel. Kung mahirapan ka maghawak kay baby habang pinapaliguan, you can buy the net na pwede ikabit sa standard baby bath tub.

as i've said sa isa kong comment, baka gusto niyo magtry ng cloth diaper instead of disposable diaper.
It is not the traditional lampin that we are all familiar with. It can last up to 4hrs just like disposables for normal use and up to 10hrs if boosted for night time naman.

Mas mura to in the long run instead of disposable diaper. It can be used up to 3yrs of age or until potty trained na si baby. ^^,

When i was pregnant i bought only 4pcs of these plus yung traditional lampin. I used disposable then for night time and going out. That costs me php500 worth of diapers every month. Then, nung mag 8 months si baby, i decided na mag cloth diaper na rin sa night time. It's been 6 months already. I have bought disposables for going out na lang, at nakaka php200 pa [textspeak!] ako for that 6 months!

Though, buying cloth diapers would be an investment, so better start early. Ang lowest price kasi eh 3 for 1k for china brands. But then, you will be able to use it for 3 good years ^_^.
Kapag disposables, around 3-4 months lang un. ;P

^ I agree with CD. we use during day time but still disposable sa gabi and going out. we tried using at night pero every now and then nagigising si baby. maybe someday we can fully use CD na.

Baby Monitor is also a big help and needed para sa amen. Yaya most especially is happy about it kasi she can work while the baby is sleeping but I tell her to check from time to time din para sure. still, very useful.

Question, yunga pusod ba bawal mabasa while the stump is still there? Nakakatakot! Waaaah. Or I can use cotton balls to wipe around it?

Where can I buy CDs na cheap? Like the 3 for 1k? Kasi mostly I am seeing mga more tha 1k a piece! ang mahal.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ as much as possible ay wag daw basain. Kaya sponge bath lang dapat ang baby while di pa natatanggal ang stump. Then linis the pusod with alcohol and cotton buds. Takot ako to clean nung una. Then napagalitan ni pedia kasi baka daw mainfect if hindi nilinisan.. so yun, kahit kabado e nalinisan ko naman. Di naman daw yun masakit sabi ni OB so walang mafifeel si baby. If ever, konting "kiliti" lang daw with the cotton buds.

Once natanggal ang stump, pwede na mabasa ang pusod.

[abbiesh]

thanks sis [b[bagaholic_chewy[/b] Grabe scary. So d lang pala around the stump ang linis, talagang dapat pala is Q-tips. Takot ako baka biglang dumugo haha.

And no need for BIGKIS or binders for the baby diba?

Ang hirap mag shop ng baby clothes. D ko alam if NB size ba or 0-3. Some people buy up to 6mos! Confused tuloy ako how many to buy. So inuna ko nalang the other essentials like the crib, sleep sack (hay mako, may size to pero I bought 1 NB and 2 0-3mos), swaddling blankets, muslin cloths, mittens, bonnet and socks.

How many NB na side-ties ang buy ko? Feeling ko maliit lang baby ko kasi I'm super petite (I weigh 105lbs now, pre pregnancy weight ko was 95-100lbs) I'm now on my 28w and some people think na 4-5mos palang ako. Pero wala padin yun sa weight ng mom right?

for the cloth Diapers, search niyo si Thrifty Mama Shoppe. Meron siyang Alva 3.0. 5 pcs for 1100 free shipping na. been exclusively cloth diapering for 5 months now. turning 1 na daughter ko this August. before, Momy Poko din ako.

for the newborn clothes, tig 6 na tie sides, ok na. laba na lang everyday. di naman kasi magagamit ng matagal. what i got is 0-3 months size na.

[chubbycheeks]

^^ sis, tig-5 na damit lang ako for NB, 0-3 months and 3-6 months sizes. Tipid ba? Haha. Laba na lang every week at magdagdag na lang paglabas ng baby.  Sabi nila madali lumaki ang baby at ayoko naman masayang yun damit.

[abbiesh]

Thanks sis maricel and chubbycheeks

I will check thrifty mama. And i'll shop na din this weekend para unti unti meron na clothes.

Then mittens naman, i bought 4 na. How many ba needed? Kasi i saw a post here 15 mittens yung sa kanya. Per day ba ilan yung gamit?

Natatakot ako mag shop masyado kasi baka sabihin OA naman ako. Haha. Shopaholic pa naman ako.

[bagaholic_chewy]

I got 5 tie-sides lang, 0-3mos size. Mabilis lang makalakihan ang tie-sides since most materials e hindi stretchable. Kay baby nagamit nya for 3wks lang then nasikip na sa braso.. the rest I got were onesies ( and sando (6). Then shorts, pj's and footed pj's. Mga to ang gamit na gamit. Mostly white mga pambahay ni baby esp during first month. Personal preference lang, neat and clean kasi tingnan.

I also got some 3-6mos na shorts/sando and shorts/shirt ternos. Pati onesies din. Reserved lang. Tho yung shorts/sando set start ko na pagamit this weekend kasi kasya na kay baby (8.5weeks), hehe.

Re mittens, I think 10-12  pairs ok na. Daily, nasa 2 pairs din magagamit on average. Madali lang naman labhan to, dali lang matuyo. Yung de-tali mas ok. Got some garterized ones, pang newborn, two weeks lang yata nagamit kasi mahahaba galamay ni baby, feeling ko narerestrict ang movement dun sa hindi de-tali.

Hi! Also a first time mom to be... Usually ilang weeks/months pregnant ideal to buy stuffs for baby?

[vain_kixie]

The moment you know the gender start buying na. Pag third trimester na, kakainis na bumili kasi bigat na bigat ka na sa sarili mo.

[chubbycheeks]

^^ ideally, 7 months daw. Pero pamanhiin lang to wait this long. Tama si sis vain_kixie, mag start ka na paunti-unti once you know the gender. Maganda kung before the 8th month, tapos ka na kasi nakakatamad na magshop at nakakapagod by this time. Have fun shopping!

[hakunamatata]

Mid 6 months pa nga lang hingal na maglakad ng maglakad. Lalo na pag sale months ang daming tao na sa mall, long lines na sa counter, kaya its better talaga na maaga. For those na hindi pa alam ang gender or like us na hindi pa sure sa gender buy yung mga neutral colors or white nalang mas safe.

Thanks mga sis...
Better start na nga after my check up next week.. I'm on my 26th week and mabilis na nga mapagod.

- modern cloth diaper for me kasi pwedeng iadjust kay baby habang lumalaki.
- lampin din from new born pamunas ng bum, laway, etc. hanggang pansapin sa likod kapag basa ng pawis magagamit yan pag toddler na siya.
- baby carrier expensive pero matagal tagal din magagamit

[lakwatsa]

mga mommies, saan recommend nyo pinakasulit bumili ng mga gamit ng baby?

[rashimeh]

^ kung matyempohan mo yung mga baby fair i think mas sulit dun. Madaming choices na brands and halos lahat ng gamit ng baby binebenta sa ganon

Nag-attend ako before ng SM Baby Fair sa Megamall and most of items ni baby eh doon namin binili, except sa clothes kasi may mga nagbigay na

[lakwatsa]

^thank you sis. makapag abang na nga ng baby fair 

[Project60]

nung preggy ako hoarder ako and di naging practical in some of my choices. i thought kasi na pag mahal yun yung the best ang sulit hehe so i'll give my list of items to splurge on and save on.

SPLURGE on:

1. BABY BOTTLES (kasi super tagal gagamitin, palit palit lang ng nipple and important bpa free.... go for wide neck bottles na bpa free - okay siya if you intend to breast feed para no nipple confusion)

2. STERILIZER - years din kasi to.. pero okay na yung looney tunes na brand.. my baby is mag fofour na pero buong buo pa din yung sterilizer.. i only wish na sana kinuha ko na yung may dryer para less effort pag patuyo saka kasi naisip ko pag yung inaair dry baka dumudumi din?

3. STROLLER - pili nalang ng umbrella type wag masyado yung bulky type na maekek hirap bitbitin - choose something na kaya mag carry ng hanggang mabigat na weight para matagal magamit... i think okay to if you have a car kasi kung commute ang hassle bitbitin actually kahit sa mall medyo hassle kasi lagi elevator dapat

4. THERMOMETER - invest in a good one.. kapraning pag nagkakasakit si baby saka super useful naman talaga nito


SAVE ON:

1. clothes and shoes - kung may hand me downs mas okay, super bilis lumaki babies

2. crib - nako nasayang lang yung crib namin na may nappy changer, sounds and lights - di ko nasulit kasi pag breastfeed mas madali katabi mo... and wala naman effect kay baby yung  vibrate and sounds

3. BATH TUB - wag na yung super mahal pero mas okay yung may drain na type
