Suggestions for Products

u can start to buy more in ur TRI 2.. u can take it slow for now.. of cos u will need baby clothes, mittens, socks, swaddle.. baby cot up to u as some parents prefer co-sleeping.. cream wise, usually there will be sample from the hospital bag, u can use that first.. diaper, u can sign up for free diaper to see which one ur baby prefer or less leakage for me, tummy oil like ruyi oil or the mama choice tummy oil is a must buy as my baby very easy have wind in tummy due to crying and milk bottle feeding. milk bottle, u can buy the small size one first to see if baby suitable as I heard before some use Avent no issue, some need other brands..

For myself, I try to go with gentle products so that they are pregnancy safe. For example, I’m using qv body wash, hada labo lotion for face. Drinks lots of water, eat lots of vege. Eat when you’re craving but moderately to care for your health which has an impact on baby. In early trim, you cannot do pre natal massage yet, but you can when you are in second trim. I started at 20 weeks and it’s been good pampering sessions especially when the body aches come with the growing baby. For baby products, I only started to slowly stock up in mid 2nd trim. Am currently at 26 weeks.

I dont buy expensive stuff for either me or my first child. For baby, Ill buy product like Kodomo, Tollyjoy,Pigeon, Avent Phillips, Pureen. This are affordable, easy to find and my go to product esp in travel kit. However, you can also try Offspring, Cloversoft,7th Generation. Most of the baby's clothes ill purchase at Kiddy Palace or Mothercare. And materials, is important to avoid heat rash, too hot/sweaty and discomfort. For myself, body products ill use Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Nivea,Vaseline. While the rest remains the same as per before pregnancy.

For Pregnancy 1. Stretch mark cream & tonic oil (clarins) 2. stretchable knit dresses from carrisbelle (nice, comfortable and can fit well with big baby bump) For Baby 1. Rascal & Friends - Wet wipe (thicker as compared to pigeon brand) 2. Rascal & Friends - Diapers 3. Hand me down clothes if possible as baby really outgrow clothes very fast (For new we purchase from mothercare) 4. Diaper rash cream ( a must) brand wise using mustela 4. Ru Yi oil (baby will keep cry due to stomach wind starting from ard 2 months)

other than stretch mark cream/oil, pregnancy pillow for yourself! Get early to make the full use of it. other items, don't rush to buy.
