A New Baby is Coming!
It's been a year.
As the title says, it will be around 8 more weeks until my 3rd baby delivery, InsyaAllah. This was unplanned, I thought we'll settle down with only a pair of kids but Alhamdulillah, Allah's plan is the best.
To be honest, I just started buying baby stuffs recently (after being asked by the doctor - have you prepared baby stuff to bring to the hospital? And I was like.. do I have to do it now? YESSSS the doctor said) So here we go!
I just share the preparation list here for anyone's reference (maybe my future reference as well). Sources are vary, from my experience, other people's sharing and of course - the internet.
Baby Stuffs
1. The essentials (must haves)
i) *Baby clothes - I prefer 2 piece clothes with front button, easy to wear
ii) *Diapers - newborn. I would recommend Huggies or Drypers. If you have extra budget, you can go for natural options like Offspring or Applecrumby - which I haven't tried but considering to give em a try!
iii) *Blanket / Swaddle / Napkin
iv) Baby mattress & *pillow
v) *Wet Tissue
vi) *Baby towel
vii) *Bath essentials - shower gel, shampoo, or just a head to toe gel.
viii) *Socks, mittens & hat
*To bring to hospital
2. Additional (good to have)
i) Milk bottle & formula - just in case
ii) Baby cot
iii) Car seat
iv) Massage / baby oil
Mommy Stuffs
1. The essentials (must haves)
i) *Maternity / thick sanitary pads
ii) *Kain batik & comfortable clothes
iii) *Maternity / nursing bra & panties
iv) Bengkung
v) *Thick socks & slippers
vi) *Bath essentials & towel
vii) *Medication (if any) as prescribed by doctor
viii) *Going home outfit
*To bring to hospital
2. Additional (good to have)
i) Massage oil
ii) Breastfeeding cover
iii) Breastfeeding pillow
iv) Breast pads - can be essential too
vii) Snacks - in my case, I always have biscuits, fruits and Milo for snacking
Waiting for the baby to pop is definitely exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. Hopefully this time it will be smooth and easy, Aamin.
