Baby Shopping List

Hi mums-to-be,

Excited a being a new mummy? If you are like me, you will be starting to browse baby shops and looking at all the cute little clothes that the baby will be wearing. But it is wise to start the shopping a little later. Sometimes, friends and family will give you lots of things so there is no need to buy the things. Also, you can look out for baby fairs and promotions.

But it's good to have a checklist to know what are the essential things you need. In that way, when friends and family give you free stuff, you can check it off your list.

So here's a list that I found extremely useful. Hope it is useful to you too!

Happy shopping!
