In our 152nd episode of Beyond the Bump, we’re talking all newborn essentials and how not to get swept up in the need to pre-purchase everything!

DISCLAIMER!!! We are not judging any first-time pregnant mums out there who are excited and want to buy all the things – we’ve been there, done that!

  • What underwear do you need post birth?
  • Thoughts on having a nursey set up before baby is born.
  • Are caddy stations around the house necessary for feeding? And what are some essentials?
  • Clothes!! How do you know what to get and how many of each size?
  • Does your baby need a going-home outfit for your going home pictures?
  • How to know that your baby is dressed in sufficient amount of clothing?
  • Swaddles versus sleep suits?
  • Nappies and wipes? How much is sufficient?
  • When it comes to bassinets, what are we looking for? And is the Snoo worth it?
