baby items

When did you start buying baby items or did you just wait until right before the baby was born.

We waited til 18 weeks when we knew what we were having. Just got him like 3 outfits and a onesie. Got the crib also. But then waited til our baby shower (we had it 2 months in advanced that way u have plenty of time to buy whatever u need. But don't buy much, u never know what you're getting. We got stroller, 2 car seats, lots of diapers, bassinet, baby monitor,  high chaor, bath tub, breastfeeding pillow, blankets, clothes,  safety kit, tons of clothes and other things so yeah wait!

I'm 9 weeks now and I bought a baby monitor I saw on groupon lol out of sheer excitement and impulse but I think I'm going to get some cloth diapers and the travel set I want and then wait til the baby shower. This is my second baby but my princess is 11 already so it should be a good shower lol

I'm 23 weeks.... I started buying once I knew my baby's sex. Since, I've only gotten a crib which was given to me and some clothes which I brought and his car seat/stroller. I don't think I'm going to buy much until after my baby shower

First thing I bought was her tub. I was 12 weeks, I think. And then we got her rocker, play pen,  crib, stroller, and stroller fan after coming into some money. By then we knew what we were having so clothes started to pile up, and then 2 months ago we bought her dresser, armoire, and changing table. And still getting clothes here and there. I'm 31 weeks now and have it all ready for her. Just need a baby.

We bought the crib, bassinet and a rocker right away. We wanted to wait until we knew what we were having so now that we know that we have started buying more things, particularly nursery decorations. But I do watch online rummage sales for gently used clothes. Im waiting for the baby showers to see what we get from them too.

This is my second, so I'm not sure if I'll have a baby shower. We bought enough clothes at a special consignment sale for the first couple of months. The clothes averaged to around $2 an item. We found out we're having a boy this week, at 18 weeks, and hit the sale the same week.

I am 17 weeks and we have bought 1 onesie and that's it  our parents are buying us the baby furniture and other than that we are waiting until the baby shower to see what we get and what we still need. My boyfriend is also planning a diaper shower with his guy friends so that will be a huge help.  I am just asking for receipts with the diapers so we can exchange if needed.  Most stores will take them back as long as they are not opened

Im 40 weeks today. All we bought ahead of time was the baby furniture, we waited til our baby shower. We didn't buy diapers though we got a bunch at our baby shower, you never know what diaper your baby might be allergic to

My husband and I are starting now, I'm 13w3d. We figured if we start buying diapers early, then we'll have a move stockpile for when baby comes.

I started maybe around week 12. I haven't bought much, but I do watch for sales. If I see something at a great price that I know we'll need, I buy it.
