Hello friends, Just found out that I am going to be a parent! As a first time parent, I have no clue on where to start. Like what to prepare before the baby arrives, what to buy during this thanksgiving deals, what to be careful about etc. If any of you have any checklist(s) or shopping list you previously prepared, can you please share that with me.. It will help me a lot with where to start. Thanks!
1. Congratulations! 2. Relax. 3. Announce to your extended family and friends. 4. Sit back and let the universe take care of it all.
DNA test
Step 1. Get married. (Or don’t if you don’t like the other parent).
TC?
Congrats! Start with a Costco membership and a Amazon family profile if you don’t have one. Setup baby registry with major retailers. Build a to-do list of baby proofing around your house and securing those shitty ikea furniture if you have any. Based on which state you live and your employer health plan offerings, look into pre-tax saving money towards FSA/HSA, child care and education fund. And yeah, don’t forget to get post-nup, a will, upping your life insurance coverage etc.
On the job training mostly, buy standard baby stuff for the first month
Please post: 1. your TC 2. your kid's TC - Larry
Join BabyCenter app, you will find tons of important info
congrats! get registries with Amazon and target. you'll get two or three coupons each for 15% off anything baby related buy used stuff that looks clean and you'll save a fortune skip the wipe warmer, diaper pail, fancy stuff. invest in more wipes and burp cloths sometimes babies just want to cry. if their needs are covered they might cry anyway and that's okay. you might cry with them. that's okay too. get a sound machine and play waves really really loud do sleep training get swaddleme swaddles and wrap the kid tight as hell. they are comfortable with it tighter than you think take pictures all the time, maybe skip the nice camera. your phone is always with you where all the spontaneous moments will be recorded poop goes everywhere. always have the next diaper down breast milk is great but doesn't work for every mom. that's okay, formula is good enough and all meet a standard of nutrition. we used target brand. don't let people shame you or your partner if the milk doesn't come. it's hard at first but it becomes second nature fast. you will be amazing. good luck, I'm excited for you :)
