wow really you haven't spent upto 40k ?? Mama please teach me your ways ooo

Lol, many times how large or small our pockets are does the thinking for us. I didn't buy any new onesie or bodysuits (you'll be hearing 4 in 1 for 5k for baby that's not going anywhere), I got very beautiful grade ones with cardigans (some are new in the bake sef ), I loved foreign bath too oo but when I went to the market and saw nice baby bath (not old school design o) I opted for it for 4800.. I already priced the standing hanger I wanted to buy for 13500 but a day before going to buy, my mind just pushed me to Facebook to Chek for declutter and a lady posted that she wanted to sell for 9k as she's not birthing anymore, I jumped on it and priced, she sold for 7k (afterall if I can buy okirika clothes, what is hanger that I can't buy ), hubby was angry at first but later calmed and went for pick up, very clean.. I invested on Diapers both sizes 2 and 3 (not too much of 2 cos people who would gift Diapers would gift newborn), the few new clothes I bought are older sizes for when baby is 4 months upward.. I no send stroller and ain't buying car seat as we don't have a car (yet bro Inlaw wants to give us both), I didn't buy bed net but got a very thick blanket baby can lay on while I cover with a umbrella net e.t.c.

Preferences also matters, you might not want your baby to wear okirika onesies and sleepsuits but I don't mind (afterall big women park their vehicles in nyanyan market and sit down under umbrella buying in pregnancy so who am i ). Some also wants their babies to have everything they see and like but the truth is baby might not even use most of these things.

I remember a day in the hospital when a lady was talking about how much she spent buying the things on the hospital list, I almost couldn't breathe but when I was buying the few ones I've bought I was wondering if its not same. I got home and was afraid that the mucus extractor I bought for 350 and clamp for 150 each were not it and I quickly searched on jumia just to see same.

If you have the money you can go for all you want. I've seen sellers on FB who sell new thing and even post prices and they are very very cheap yet they are in Lagos. But please have mercy on your purse.

None cos freshly expressed can keep at room temp for only 4hrs.

You might want to read thru the ingredients for tomato paste. Why on earth would u even take that when u can get that from your iron rich meals and pre-natal meds?

Mama, my sickness starts with those prenatals and I don't want pcv to go too low, last time it was 30.
Thanks for the response ma

My mum says the same thing about baby cot too..I’ll better reconsider. Hospital list is currently laughing at me cos I’ve not touched it yet. God should just please bless my breasts with sufficient breast milk for my baby. The cost of nan in this economy dey give palpitation
roll call na June.. no fixed date yet as per CS

Also team June! Had CS with my first baby, (baby is 1yr and 8 months) thinking of going for elective CS for baby no 2, I don't want to wait till 40 weeks and still end up with CS!

I like how you buy your things as a FTM. The net you mentioned is so creative. I've been thinking of baby bed for my boy after he outgrows the foam one I bought and baby cot is a no go area as I intend buying/making double bunk bed that would serve me.
The net is such a good idea.

Na wa o! If I may ask any idea what the blood donation is for?? And if peradventure the woman ends up not needing blood does the hospital make a refund cos i know a pint or so of blood used to be btw 16k /18k.

Its a seed(lol) u have to sow to your govt cos that is the only way there can be blood in the blood bank to use and sell to private hospitals. Par adventure blood will be needed in the cause of the pregnancy, one will need to buy. It’s 8,500 per pint here.

MorningStar233:
Hmmmm....I tried buying only essentials yet I no know where I dey...
Towels, flask, small bed with net, flannel, blanket, caps, mittens, pampers, lady Sept,feeders, comb, shawl ( for naming or dedication), 1 pack of overalls ( I no buy new ones again), Bibs, nursing bra, disposable pants, diaper cream, delivery mat, baby wipes, anointing oil, breast pads for me..Abeg did I over buy or under buy? Nothing like wardrobe or hanger in my agender..

Mama, you are still on point. Don't be afraid

Yes now, many end up keeping clothes inside especially after washing and packing

Omakraid:

Even if buying plenty clothes, it shouldn't all be newborn. I bought few newborn clothes, moved to 3mnths +, 6mnths+ especially if you see some clothes you like and don't want to let go..
Its that breastfeeding I don't know how to cope with cos my place of work gives only one month maternity leave and I won't like to be going to work with a one month old (some moms do shaa) and power supply here is something else. It is well

ah!!! 1month ke?! Nawao... Not 4months or 6... 1month... Dtz unfair... Who is gonna b lookin after baby biko??!!
