Shopping for newborn babies
1. What do babies really need?
There are so many wonderful products on the market, but you need to work out what’s best for you and your baby, what you actually need and most importantly, what you can afford.
Luckily you don’t need everything at once, and chances are that you will be given lots of gifts when your baby’s born to help spread the cost.
You may also have things given to you from friends or left over from your own older children that you can use.
