When to start baby shopping?

Hello mummies! First time mummy here at 13 weeks. When is a good time to start shopping for the baby for essentials? Like strollers, baby cot etc. Also is it normal if i want to check on prices earlier on so I know how much to save up? Also any good place to recommend? Are baby fairs good enough? Also usually what is the frequency of a baby fair being held? Like once every 3 or 6 months? #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby

I started planning end of 2nd trimester and started buying from Carousell items or taking hand-me-downs that I don’t mind having second hand at 3rd trimester. This includes baby wearing, newborn up to 1 years old clothes and side-sleeping cot. Bought infant car seat and essential baby care items from 34 weeks. Lazada so far is the cheapest for us, with all their sales going on. Now I’m 36 weeks and the last item I’m purchasing are a set of bottles, UV steriliser and bottle warmer. Stroller, baby diapers and baby bathtub thought of buying after baby is born - mainly cos we do not think we will need it, hospital will give some and baby can we wiped clean instead of being bathed in first week respectively.
