All the mothers are familiar with the fact that shopping for babies is difficult and
time consuming.
With so many advanced things in the market,parents do get confused at
times.
You don't want to go over the board(ok, may be with your first you want to and
will), and also don't want to miss something that can make life easier for you and
the baby.
So,I thought I should get together a list of things that cause maximum benefit and
minimum regret for parents.
The top entry is ....
A PLAY PEN:
Play pens are like cots only deeper and made of fabric.
Most paly pens have two compartments.The top compartment is to be used as
infant cot or sleeping place.
This one is by Graco...Easily available in Pakistan for PKR15000.
I also like this one,It has a gate,for baby's easy movement.
When your baby turns 7-8 month old and starts to stand and cruise around, this is
just the perfect place to leave your baby.No bumps on head and no injuries at all.
CAR SEAT:
A car seat may be expensive, but not more then your kid's life.
So,invest in a good car seat.
Buy the one which can be used as infant carrier and is removable from car.It is the
most convenient.
BABY BATH TUB:
The chances of dangerous accidents in bathroom increases if proper care is not
practiced.
Invest in a good bath tub.Trust me it will take away your worries and dread ,you have
to face,while bathing the baby.
While buying bear in mind a few things:
1.It should have special contours,padded preferably,to support baby's head
2.It should be easy to store.
3.If you have back problems, the tub should be designed to fit in a sink.
Well,If a tub has all the above features ,it is ,ofcourse,costly.So,make sure you
search the market to get the best deal.Be ready to spend atleast upto PKR2000
on your baby's bathing safety.

ROCKER SWING:
I can never forget the nights I had to stay awake,rocking my baby to sleep.
Well,if its your first baby, you will thank me for suggesting this.You can just put
the baby in the swing, and it will do the rocking, leaving your aching arms and
shoulder free.
It might be a tad expensive but will give you priceless peace of mind.
Can be used until your baby's weight reaches 15-20 pounds(7-10 kg).
SET OF TABLES AND CHAIRS:
When your baby is able to sit on chair and play you would want to buy fancy
chairs etc.But Instead of buying single chairs with contraptions,buying a set is
cheaper and useful.The babies can never out grow it.:) [ unlike the activity
stations,chairs with toys attached etc.]
If you have a car seat let it serve the purpose of holding your baby until she is
able to sit independently on chair.
STEAM STERLIZER:
Having a steam sterlizer saves your prcious time by sterilizing all the
feeders,pacifiers,baby cups etc.Just wash and put in the sterlizer and it do the job.
No need to stay near the boiling feeders anymore.
Avent sterlizers are the best, in my opinion.
EASLIY FOLDABLE STROLLER:
If you need to buy two strollers for two babies don't buy the big,jumbo ones.
They may look fancy but I find them troublesome and difficult to fold,unfold.
The easily fold able ones are handier and good for shopping trips.
First year ignite stroller,popular among parents |
AN ICE BOX:
I agree with the stroller and car seat. These things are almost as necessary as clothes and diapers! lol
ReplyDeleteI had a very ordinary bath for my baby which I used only because the actual bath is too deep to be able to comfortably wash him in it as a small baby. I don't find this a very important piece of equipment personally.
I love the second play pen you showed! That's not only useful when you zip it up but also very fun for the baby when it's left open! I have a play pen that I had from when my oldest was a baby that I used a few times with this baby but not often enough to have made it worthwhile to buy one. I prefer babyproofing the areas he plays in and letting him loose!
Ohh, that makes sense. How young is your oldest? lol
ReplyDeleteI never thought to even ask but how old is your baby? Mine is 10.5 months (born Nov.1) I think they must be close to the same age?
DeleteMy oldest is 5 so she actually helps most of the time instead of running over her brother :)
