I am exited about starting to buy baby clothes and starting m little boy’s nursery,but my mom thinks diferently she thinks its best to buy the baby stuff a couple weeks before my due date?,what do you think?
The way I see it, the more prepared you can be, the better. Some people think it’s bad luck to buy clothes for the baby before it’s born because you’ll jinx the pregnancy. When I found out I was pregnant I started browsing around for cribs, reading reviews on baby products, and started up an Amazon gift registry so I could use it like a shopping checklist for myself. I’ve spent lots of time researching safety standards, recalled items, and reading reviews. If you’re a big planner (like me) it takes LOTS of time to prepare!
As soon as we found out the sex we went straight to the store to buy a cute little girl outfit and went over paint samples we had already brought home months before for nursery colors. I wanted to get the nursery set up before I was too tired/huge to be able to help and I’m glad I did! Now at 30 weeks my back hurts, and I’ve managed to be sick for the past 3 weekends in a row. I haven’t been able to do much more than organize her closet! My husband and I decided to buy the big ticket items we didn’t feel comfortable putting on a registry (breast pump, crib, changing table, jogging stroller, etc) and the things we didn’t think would be "fun" for people to buy for a baby shower (crib mattress, changing pad, diaper pail, etc).
If you’re excited to buy some clothes for your little one then go for it! Babies go through TONS of clothes, so even if you buy several outfits he’ll still need more. Plus, it’s so fun to be able to finally browse the baby section for your OWN baby! Congratulations on your little one, and happy shopping!
