After giving birth to a baby, people will definitely give you a lot of gifts. Now that you are used to it, people will ask you what you need before buying it. So don’t buy enough for yourself in advance. It is still necessary to leave some shares for others. Of course, for those who are relatively close, it is more affordable to send diapers and milk powder.
It is not recommended to buy baby pillows and bed bumpers
Some things look useful but are actually just new concepts or formed for a purpose. For example, baby pillows and bed bumpers are basically not used when children are very young. If the child is older, it may cause the child to suffocate.
It is not advisable to buy general supplies in large quantities
Children\’s preferences are very unique and change at any time, so if you buy too many of a brand or model, once the child doesn\’t like it at all or loses interest quickly, the waste will be relatively large. I once heard other mothers buy a dozen plastic spoons, but their children were not used to them at all and spit them out as soon as they were put in their mouths. As a result, I used them for seasoning in the kitchen.
Buy toys with caution
Toys are the most unusual things for children. Anyone who has had children knows that children’s favorite toys are things that are not toys, such as pots and pans, shoes, socks, cigarette cases, etc. In fact, a bottle and a piece of paper are children\’s toys, and the bottle is very happy. What children need is not toys, but parents.
Buy as many consumables as possible
Like diapers. While buying a box of diapers may be a large one-time investment, you should face the fact that your child may need nearly 2,000 diapers in the first year. Therefore, it is very cost-effective to choose the right quantity and get the corresponding preferential price as a gift, and the shelf life of diapers is usually two to three years.
Use adult products wisely
Some items that are not actually used for a long time or are not used frequently, such as bottle sterilizers, baby thermometers, baby scales, baby wipes, etc., can be used in microwave ovens, adult thermometers, and daily scales (with babies). Subtract your own weight ), absorbent cotton or gauze instead.
