What to buy before your baby arrives – the nice to have
Shopping for your baby in pregnancy? Here are the baby products that aren't essentials, but you might like to have for your newborn.
If your budget allows it – and you’ve got the space in your nursery or home – there are plenty of baby products that are nice extras. While they do have a use, they’re not essentials.
You might find you don't want or need any of these. However, it's worth knowing about them and crossing them off your list, rather than have a last minute pre-baby panic!
You’ll probably find these are the kinds of items that are given to you as baby shower or new baby gifts too, so don’t go overboard on buying these in pregnancy. You can download and print off a checklist of these nice to have baby items - for yourself or to drop hints by passing on to friends!
