Option 1
Useful Information
Waiting for a child may make you want to prepare everything right away, but many items will be used very little. Start with the essentials: diapers, bodysuits, ergonomic sling or fanny pack, car seat, and a safe place to sleep.
For the rest, you can decide after the first few weeks, based on your needs. Many parents choose to buy used goods, exchange items, or search neighborhood groups. It's a sustainable and smart way to save money and create a network.
