After delivery you will not have the time or energy to go shopping until approximately 3 months - so shop before delivery...

1.Big box of diapers. Pampers is the best and most recommended brand. (minimum 15-20 diapers during the initial days. Diapers never go waste.)
2. Wet wipes.
3. Minimum 10 soft blankets.
4. 5 towels.
5. 6-8 burp towels. (buy matching with dresses)
6. Car seat with stroller matching - buy good and long purpose which we can be converted for toddler use
7. pink clothes for girl baby and blue clothes for boy baby full cover clothes till toe, half clothes
8. Bath tub - infant to toddler and bath-time toys.
