When did everyone start buying their baby stuff?

Following bc I want to know too 🫶🏻

I'm 14 weeks. I think I'll hold off until 24 weeks. I want to have my virtual baby shower first, then get whatever else I need.

I definitely bought about 10 outfits/sets but they're still in the bags. It feels too soon. Probably won't start shopping until the halfway mark

It's my 3rd baby so I'm taking anything anyone gives me already 😂. Cribs are pointless imo, I'm getting a 3 in 1 pack n play. I have a diaper genie, rock n play, some swaddles and stuff so far. Honestly only things im getting new is the car seat, pack n play, bottle nipples and nuks lol

I started buying things when I found out

i started a registry but not buying anything until after line 25 weeks

I would think getting diapers now wouldn't hurt cause you will need a lot of them

careful on the sizes you get though. Size 2 & 3 are best size to stock up on imo.

I've been told that a lot I have size 1 and 2 diapers right now

I say start now.. especially when you find out what you’re having! I’m going to start with diapers and wipes

I signed up for my registries when I found out and I’ve started buying things here and there, because a lot of stores are having sales to push out leftover summer and fall stock and bring in winter Christmas. We are starting to buy a box of diapers every time we go grocery shopping to stock up and a few months before baby comes, we will do the same with formula. I don’t want to run into a shortage like a lot of moms have had to deal with. I plan on breastfeeding, but that was touch and go with my daughter, so I want to be prepared. And they usually expire in a year. I’d say at the end of the day do what feels best for you. We’ve waited till the second trimester to announce because of two pervious miscarriages and I don’t get morning sickness while pregnant, so other than cramping, nasal congestion, headaches and exhaustion/fatigue, all I have is anxiety in worrying. So, baby items bring me back to a calm state with a boost in serotonin and make the pregnancy feel real.z

We’ve bought a few things already.

FTM here. I’ve spent hours researching and building baby registry since 8 weeks, and picked up a rare great deal on FB markpetplace, but nothing full priced gets purchased until after the baby shower at 6 months. Also waiting on some hand me downs. I’d rather wait and only buy what’s needed, than stock up on things and not need them. Also, Amazon delivery makes it so much easier to get things quickly.
