New vs Hand-me-down
A FTM here. Just want to know do you prefer everything new for your baby or will you accept hand me downs ie clothes and such?
If got extra money why not everything new. But if on a budget, then clothes can accept hand me downs as they grow out of it fast and its a waste of money to buy. Cot if still in good condition, why not accept hand me down? Just buy dettol and wipe clean. Mattress for hygiene reason, buy new one. Sterilizer, I would get a new one. For breast pump, if its a closed system, I won't mind and just buy the spare parts myself. Bottles, I would get new ones. Pram as I said if still in good condition, can get hand me down. Save money where you can. I'm a FTM too and I made the mistake of buying so many new things and in the end some of it I didn't even use. I feel I wasted a lot of money and that money I spent could be use for something more important. Just my 2 cents worth but do whatever you're comfortable with. 😆
