Now I'm expecting I can't help but always look in the baby section whenever we go shopping. My first ever baby shopping trip was with my nan who is just over the moon at the thought of being great granny. It was just after I had my 12 weeks scan and she had been asking pretty much since day 1 when I was going to go shopping.
Me and Chris had spoken about whether we find out the sex of the baby and both felt the same in that we would like to know. So for now it's been neutral baby shopping.
However, it's getting harder to pick stuff as we want to buy little outfits with shoes but you don't get much choice in just the neutral colours. We have got some cute things so far but let the shopping commence come Tuesday when we find out if we are having our own little prince or princess.
Sleepsuits & Bodysuits
We have been buying these mainly from the BHS own range and Primark. I didn't want to spend too much money on these especially for when it's newborn as I'm sure they will only get ruined by everything you can think of.
We have stocked up on these as we know after a few washes they will probably have to be binned.
Mittens
We have got these from H&M (come in packs of 2's) and Primark (come in packs of 3's). We have brought these in white but I will get some more coloured ones. These will not only protect the baby from scratching itself but also keep its little hands warm.
Another thing that we have brought that was not included in the video is the White Knitted Baby Blanket. We for this from Debenhams and it's honestly the softest blanket I've felt and I can just imagine our little prince/princess all wrapped up warm.
As it's a winter baby I will be looking for layers and warm snugly clothing. We have already said that we will buy a few summer things (most likely in the sale) for next year and most likely the winter clothing will come in late August to get the remaining bits we need.
I would love to hear what any mums or expecting mums have found useful or have brought which you think is essential. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
